Yeti Lowlands Blanket ($199)
This luxury, all-terrain blanket is durable and comfortable, and can double as a tarp or seat cover.

Eno Skyloft Spreader Hammock ($129.95)
Kick back in this classic take on a traditional backyard hammock that can be transported anywhere and is durable and easy to set up.

A sling adjustment lets you raise your head up when not napping, and the small pockets on either side are perfect for a phone or sunglasses. When fully packed for transport, it also doubles as a pillow.
