Space-Saving Outdoor Gear

The World’s Most Portable Gear. With that in mind, we compiled a list of space-conscious outdoor accessories that don’t just fit in your carry-on—they could fit in your pants pocket. Stow it in your running or hiking shorts and whip it out for full-on protection when the weather turns. The PNW Sea to Sky pack ($89) Bringing an extra pack on any mission can turn into a travel nightmare. Unfolded, this 24-liter Cordura beast is fully waterproof. Yes, wallets are generally designed to fit in your pocket—but the Night Out Wallet has streamlined the billfold, offering a minimalist approach with just an ID pouch and a pocket for bills and cards. Leatherman Style PS multitool ($25) Whether it’s cutting a strip of gauze or unscrewing the back of a GPS monitor, multi-tools have saved more adventures than everything else in our packs combined. Unfortunately, carrying a multitool can get a bit tricky when going through airport security, and more than a few of us have lost our trusty tool companions in transit. Luckily, Leatherman thought ahead with its Style PS, a TSA-compliant mini version that features a screwdriver, scissors, and five other tools at your beck and call—wherever the road (or flight plan) leads. Mpowerd Luci EMRG lantern ($15) If you don’t know about the Mpowerd’s Luci portable lanterns, study up.
