In case you missed it, we’re heading straight for our fourth heatwave of the summer. I’ll let that sink in.
That means, no matter what you have planned, you’re almost definitely going to cancel all your plans so you can laze around in the coolest spot possible. At least, I know I am.
Unfortunately for me, I live in a city, which means my best option (when I’m not in bed with the fan pointed straight at me) is to lie around in the park and hope that’s enough to keep cool.
And while I’m all for a picnic of a hot summer’s day, if there’s one thing that holds me back, it’s the threat of a lukewarm drink.
Thankfully, there’s a solution to that: drinkware brand YETI.
To make sure you can always have an icy cold drink in your hand wherever you are in the world, it has created a whole range of cooling bags, boxes, and backpacks.
Whether you’re scaling the side of a rock face, or lazing around on the beach, it has a container for every experience.
Made with top-of-the-line insulation, and dent-proof technology, YETI has made sure you’re only consuming fresh food and drink that’s completely unaffected by the outdoors this summer.
While we’ve been fans of YETI here at HuffPost for a hot (or cool) sec, I’m particularly excited about its new limited edition purple colourway.
So, ahead of the heatwave, I’ve selected my favourite YETI products that will help you beat the heat. Happy sipping!
If you’ve gone to all the effort of having a day out, you deserve a cold drink in your hand when you want it.
This small version of YETI’s classic Roadie cool box was made specifically for those moments. From days on the beach to hikes in the wood, it’s designed with portability in mind, with a strap or handles to carry it.
The inside boasts plenty of space, which can fit wine bottles and two litre bottles on their side, loaded with freezer-quality insulation to keep them frosty.
Ramblers need to keep hydrated; that is this bottle’s sole mission. Lined with double-wall vacuum insulation, it keeps your drinks icy cool (or piping hot) no matter what’s going on outside.
Thanks to the stainless steel exterior, it also won’t puncture or rust, so you can drop it as many times as you like and it’ll still be in pristine condition.
Whether you’re running through mountains or in the car, it’s easy to sip from, as it has a flip top straw – plus the whole thing is dishwasher-safe so you don’t have to fuss around with cleaning.
I’m also a huge fan of the fact the mouth is wide enough for ice cubes to squeeze through, because we all need a cold drink for longer in this heatwave!
Even when you’re in the wilderness, not everything should be drunk out of a bottle. To give you a sense of home wherever you are, this cup is perfect for your morning coffee or evening wine alike.
Just like the bottle, it offers long-lasting temperature maintenance. But instead of a straw, the top is kitted with a sliding lid, to keep your drink protected on bumpy roads. It’s also stackable, so you can store it easily when you’re done.
I’ve been campaigning for picnics to be taken more seriously this summer; I’ve found the ideal excuse. This nine litre box has enough space to fit even the most extravagant of meals – with all the accoutrements.
The main pocket is just big and sturdy enough to keep your picky bits packed tightly, without you having to worry about leaks and a lukewarm meal. The soft walls are filled with coldcell flex insulation, which is powerful enough to keep your food cold for an entire day.
Not to mention that the inside of the lid is home to plenty of pockets, ready to stash your favourite hot sauce or cutlery in for a pub-worthy meal in the wilderness, while there is a pouch for your phone, wallet, and keys on the outside.
There’s nothing worse than your sandy suit spilling over everything in your rucksack. To keep your gear organised and, let’s face it, separate from your other belongings, this tote is the perfect all-purpose bag for every occasion, from the gym to lake side swims.
Made from a waterproof and puncture-proof shell, which is easy to wipe down and won’t get destroyed when you’re off doing your thing.
