Summer is finally (officially) here. June is the time to gear up for summer, and GP readers went all out by outfitting their backyards with patio furniture and grills. We also launched our newest issue of Gear Patrol Magazine in June. While we gear up for Fourth of July and Amazon Prime Day next month, here’s a list of the 10 products GP readers bought the most in June. Check out the full list below.
Gear Patrol Magazine Issue 10
“We’re proud to present The Innovation Issue. In this, our 10th magazine, we dive deep into innovation in all of its forms.” — Gear Patrol
CRKT CEO EDC Folding Pocket Knife
“As its name suggests, the CEO is a gentleman’s pocket knife. CRKT made it long and slender so that, like a pen, it’ll fit comfortably in a pocket next to a wallet or phone and not draw too much attention to itself either. ” — Tanner Bowden
Weber Master-Touch 22″ Charcoal Grill
“The Weber Kettle charcoal grill — complete with dome lid, ventilation, enameled steel and rust-resistant aluminum — is the most stable, consistent grill money can buy.” — Will Price
Reebok Crossfit Nano 9
“You’ll find a CrossFit specific outsole design with MetaSplit grooves for better traction and grip. A wider-than-average toe box gives your feet room to breathe and enough toe spread for improved balance and a stronger base to push off. The unchanged minimal drop outsole keeps you close to the ground.” — Meg Lappe
Tecnica Forge GTX Hiking Boots
“Every piece of the Forge is designed for customization, most notably the upper, which is available in both synthetic ripstop and nubuck leather. In addition, Tecnica equipped the Forge with all the indications of a solid hiking boot, including a Gore-Tex liner and Vibram rubber sole. For its first foray into a new category, Tecnica hit the mark.” — Tanner Bowden
Motorcycle Helmets
“You can save up to $700 on select top-tier motorcycle helmets from brands like AGV, Bell and Schuberth. If you’ve always wanted the performance and protection from one of the best motorcycle helmets available (and really, why wouldn’t you want that?), now’s your chance to save a few hundred dollars and upgrade your lid game.” — Bryan Campbell
TRX Original – Strong System
“A good home gym doesn’t have to entail heavy and bulky — not to mention expensive — equipment. In fact, it can be portable, something you can carry on an airplane and set up in a hotel room when on the road. Such a notion has been borne out by TRX, a fitness company that began with an ingenious suspension training system designed by a Navy SEAL.” — Tanner Bowden
Texas Elite 34 Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker
“For those unfamiliar with wood pellet grilling, they work by way of an auger pushing tiny hardwood pellets into flames based on temperature readings from an internal computer. You set the temperature you want to cook at — about 150 to 400 in this case — and it does the fire tending for you.” — Will Price
Patagonia Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover
“The Patagonia Synchilla Snap-T fleece pullover is a staple in every man’s closet. Everyone from backpackers to dads, hikers to college students and even Coachella attendees to urbanites have made the style work for them.” — Tanner Bowden
Fender Special Edition Standard Jaguar Guitar
“One of Fender’s lesser-known styles is the Jaguar, an instrument with an offset body, originally produced between 1962 and 1975. During that time, it was popular with surf rock guitarists, but after it went out of production, it became an onstage staple at punk, alternative and indie shows. During the ’80s, Fender produced a Japanese-made version of the instrument, and in ’99, due to the Jaguar’s underground popularity, the brand began producing the style again in earnest.” — John Zientek
