We know you’re enjoying summer — and if plans call for a day (or week) of hiking, here are a few exceptional products to add to your stash. If you’re too busy deciding on a destination to go shopping, most are available via Amazon.

Whether you have weak ankles or just want to protect yourself when hiking on uneven ground, Ankle Guard Socks from Forme are an excellent addition to hiking gear. Constructed with biofeedback technology to help correctly align and stabilize your ankles and foot muscles, they provide all-day support and can even help reduce pain and inflammation. How? They’re designed by an orthopedic surgeon and engineered with multiple light layers to help keep your foot and ankle muscles properly engaged while creating tension on the medial arch. Ankle Guard Socks are available in White Multi or Black Multi.

Wholesome

Next, don’t let yourself be chewed on: Wholesome Hippy’s Skeeter Spray delivers scented protection via a unique moisturizing lotion spray. Organic ingredients include aloe leaf juice, coconut oil and jojoba seed oil, buoyed by a naturally repellent citronella and a eucalyptus oil blend. Not only does it smell good and spread easily, it’s also safe to use on even your youngest travel companions.

Save space in your rucksack for Active Skin Repair Double Pack. Capable of treating minor cuts, blisters, burns, rashes, bites and other day spoilers with a quick spray or hydrogel application, this medical-grade, natural, non-toxic blend is produced in an ISO 9000 certified clean room in California, and is made with HOCI (hypochlorous acid), a naturally occurring molecule made by white blood cells that protects against invading pathogens and bacteria.

Because it’s naturally occurring, there’s less chance of irritation or allergic reaction. The Double Pack includes a bottle of ACTIVE Skin Repair Spray & Hydrogel made in the United States and is vegan; cruelty-free; and safe for pets, kids, and pregnant and nursing women. Plus, the company is climate neutral and a member of 1% for the Planet.

For great sunscreen protection that’s actually good for your skin and the environment, there’s Visor Skincare. This oil-free product is crafted without parabens and fragrances and comes in a convenient size for taking out on the trail. Even better, it’s reef safe, vegan and cruelty-free — and it comes in 100 percent recyclable packaging. It’s made with vitamin C to reduce dark spots, jojoba for antiseptic and antibacterial action, meadowfoam to retain moisture, hyaluronic acid for anti-aging benefits, shea butter for softening, lecithin to stimulate collagen production and diatomaceous earth to help prevent clogged pores.

No, we didn’t forget your caffeine needs: Simplify your intake ritual while camping and hiking with Eco-Friendly Steeped Coffee BAGS. These fully compostable bags (think tea bags filled with coffee) tuck easily into your backpack. The gourmet contents are ethically sourced and freshly roasted, and all you need to do is add hot water and steep. The Direct Trade coffee is precision ground and available in light, medium, dark, French roast and decaf. Try the BLK & Bold Rise & GRND medium roast or Mr. Espresso Seven Bridges — a blend with light smoke and caramel notes named for the bridges linking the Bay Area.

If you prefer to pull your sunburn protection over your head, you’re in luck. The sustainably- made Sunray Sun Shirt for women from Coalatree Eco-Minded Goods is a lightweight, UV- resistant hoodie made with natural zinc properties that comes in an array of fun colors and patterns: Sky Blue, Herring Bone, Hexagon and Mountain Line. Featuring reinforced seams and four-way stretch, the Sunray Sun Shirt dries quickly and packs easily into a corner of your backpack. Save space for Coalatree Kachula Blanket. You might get chilly — and who doesn’t love an impromptu picnic? Not only do they come in fun patterns, but the blanket is also water-resistant, made completely from recycled materials and even has a hood that attaches with snaps to create an oh-no-it’s raining poncho.
