One
of the many ways to take full advantage of the summer is by attending long-awaited happenings and events
Summer festivals of all sorts come around every year, and they&re even better with a few friends — plus some extras to make the experience
No matter the type of event, having gear that allows you to kick back, keeps you hydrated and powered makes any festival day
worthwhile.

Inflatable couch:
Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger
For music festivals and events that have areas for camping or lounging (while waiting for the band
you actually came to see), an inflatable couch will come in handy
The Live Infinitely Inflatable Air Lounger is 7 feet long, so it big enough to sit three people, or for one person to stretch out.
It comes
with a stake to keep it from blowing away when it not in use, stays inflated longer than other couches we tested and folds down into a
Use its side pockets to store your phone, a water bottle and other belongings while you kick back and soak up the sun.
Instant Printer:
Fujifilm Instax Share SP-2
Taking pictures to capture time spent at an exciting festival is a given
Though when attending with family or friends — especially those who you may not see often — having something tangible to take home makes
the outing even better.
The Fujifilm Instax Share SP-2 is the instant printer pick in our instant camera guide, and we like that it portable
and produces old-school Polaroid prints straight from a smartphone or tablet
It works through the Instax Share app and allows for filters and borders to be added to your snapshots
You can print one picture in about 10 seconds, or print multiples of one image for passing out to your group.
Lenses for iPhone
Photography: Moment New Tele Lens Moment New Wide Lens
When you get tired of taking group selfies and want to capture videos and pictures
of the main event, a good smartphone lens attachment can help with getting closer to the action
While some smartphone cameras produce good photos, a lens attachment can further expand your phone field of view or extend the optical zoom
without distorting images.
For photography enthusiasts who are fine attending events without a professional camera, our lens attachment
picks for iPhones, the Moment New Tele Lens (for closer, high-quality shots) and the Moment New Wide Lens (for crisp, wide-angle photos) are
great alternatives and offer more portability
They&re an improvement on the iPhone camera and are mounted on a case for lens attachments.

USB Battery pack: Anker
PowerCore 20100
Spending long days at a fair or similar event means your phone will likely run out of juice before you&re ready to go
Bringing along a USB battery pack ensures that you&ll be able to stay powered while you&re having fun — and long after when you need to
round up friends or call a ride.
The Anker PowerCore 20100 is small enough to fit in a backpack or purse and it has enough power to charge
one smartphone everyday for nearly a week
It also can simultaneously charge two USB devices at full speed and will keep them powered for days before the battery pack itself needs to
be recharged.

Growler: Miir 64 oz
Growler
Since you can''t bring a fan or AC everywhere, it almost necessary to have a drink or two on hand when you&re outside in the heat
For events that allow outside beverages, carrying them in a growler is a great way to keep them fresh, cold or hot.
We put eight growlers to
the test and the Miir 64 oz
Growler had the best-tasting beer and fizzy drinks
We like the Miir design and that it easy to drink from, seal and handle
Its lid can be fully detached, which makes cleaning it by hand a bit easier
capacity, you&ll have more than enough of your favorite drink to last throughout the day, or to share.
