Backyard or Beach? How About Both!
BY GREG SAMPSON
It’s that time of the year where we spend as much time outdoors in our backyard, hopefully by a pool or down by the beach enjoying the best the sun. Here are some of my favorite products on the market you can take anywhere. Enjoy!
TESALATE XL
$99
The Tesalate Towel for two or even the whole family is built with high-performance AbsorbLite™ fabric. Tesalate towels deliver sand-free, ultra-absorbent, super-compact and rapid-dry tech for simply better beach days. In addition, the Tesalate is 100% Australian-designed with fresh looks inspired by the countries coastlines, is double sided, has a hanging hook for faster dry time and convenient carry case. Without a doubt, this towel will redefine the way you do the sun, surf and sand all season long.
THE U-STAND W/ UMBRELLA
$50 + $40
Tired of your umbrella flying away on the patio or down by the ocean? Look no more. Simply fill your stand with weight, insert any umbrella, and enjoy stress-free shade in winds of up to 40mph. The U-Stand comes with two removable lids that are equipped with four cup holders that can easily be removed when an umbrella is in place. Additionally, each unit comes with a shoulder strap for easy carry to and from your destination, and also a tightening screw that makes sure your umbrella won’t fly away.
KAMADO JOE JR.
$400
This is the best portable ceramic charcoal grill on the market, offering 13.5 inches of cooking space and weighs only 68 pounds. The Kamado Joe Jr. is the perfect sidekick for any one on the go, a quick weeknight meal, or any new ceramic griller. Not to mention, the Joe Junior Kamado is a grill, smoker and oven all in one, and can be ready to cook in 15 minutes. The thick, porous ceramic keeps moisture in your food, producing incredibly tender food with a true wood-fired flavor. The KJ13 Joe Junior Kamado grill also comes with a free grate gripper, ash tool and heat deflector for indirect cooking.
