Every outdoor enthusiast knows that the transition from fall to summer is one of the best times of the year. Why? There’s no pesky bugs, the temperatures have mellowed out, and there’s still plenty of adventure to be had (leaf peeping, anyone?). While you don’t need specific gear to have a good time outside, having just a few key pieces can help you step up your recreation game. That’s where Klarna comes in. Klarna makes it easy to pick up what you want by letting you easily shop at your favorite stores (both in person and online) and make purchases in four interest-free payments. When we head outside, we’re looking to relax and recharge, and Klarna lets us keep those chill vibes going by making the shopping experience super smooth and convenient. Plus, Klarna keeps it worry-free with buyer protection—so if something isn’t right, you can simply pause your payments so you’re not paying for anything unnecessarily. On top of all of that, you get rewarded whenever you shop. In our picks below, you’ll find the gear that will keep those end-of-summer blues at bay and help get you kitted out for the sweetest time of year—all available with Klarna.
Bonfire 2.0 Fire Pit, $399, Solo Stove
Keep the summer bonfires going, but ditch the smoke. Consider the Solo Stove your only option for a few reasons: it gets hotter than conventional fires, its design eliminates pesky smoke, it ignites quickly, and it’ll last forever.
Kelty Loveseat, $139, Kelty
A camp chair is nice, but a camp couch is orders of magnitude better. Take your lounging game to the next level and cuddle up with a warm beverage around the fire after a day spent outside.
Hydrenalite™ Down Hoodie, $250, The North Face
Everyone needs a go-to puffer as the evenings start to get chilly. Throw it in your pack on a hike or throw it on for a night at an outdoor brewery. This puffer is easy on the eyes, has large baffles for trapping heat, and boasts a water-repellent finish to keep you dry in a drizzle.
Mountain Hardware Crater Lake™ Hoody, $60, Mountain Hardware
The late-summer sun can be sneaky. Protect your skin from the elements with this hoodie made from UPF 50+ fabric (there’s a reason why you’ll see every single mountain guide wearing a layer like this).
Norrøna falketind Alpha120 Zip Hood, $209, Norrona
We love a functional layer that also has a bit of fashion. This stylish fleece is equally at home on the trail or at aprés-ski, and is a must for a well-rounded fall kit for when the temperatures start to dip.
Garmin inReach mini 2, $399, Garmin
The inReach mini is about the size of a golf ball and should be a must-have for any backcountry adventure. This tiny yet mighty device has a two-way messaging system that works anywhere in the world and it's integral for general communication (like updated weather conditions) and vital for emergencies in places where there’s no cell service.
Danner Skyridge Boot, $190, Danner
A good stomping boot is key as the weather starts to turn and trails get muddy. This hiker is lightweight and has a modern aesthetic that doesn’t scream “hiking boot.”
Mountain Hardwear JMT™ 25L Backpack, $140, Mountain Hardwear
We love a well-designed pack that wears evenly and packs easily. This pack is great for an all-day hike or a shorter jaunt and is so comfortable you might forget you’ve got it on.
