You see them everywhere for a reason: The Stanley Quencher water bottle is as popular as it is effective at keeping drinks cold for up to 24 hours. I keep my Stanley on my bedside table overnight to avoid feeling dehydrated when I wake up in the morning. I’ve also accidentally knocked it over a couple times and hardly any water spills out. It also has a comfortable curved handle and the bottom fits in most standard cup holders.

Brooks makes some of my favorite running and walking shoes for the comfort and support they offer the medium arch in my feet. The Ghost Max 2, which are designed for road-running and walking, have a high cushioning, a breathable mesh upper and the front end is slightly bent upward for a more seamless heel-to-toe transition with each stride, according to Brooks. NBC Select reporters Zoe Malin and Harry Rabinowtz tested the original model of the Ghost Max and they both love how cushioned the design is and how the rocker helps propel them to run faster.

This roomy backpack has a laptop sleeve that fits up to a 12-inch model, two a mesh water bottle holders on the sides and the padded shoulder straps have a sternum strap you can use for extra support when your backpack is especially heavy. It also has reflective panels on it to increase your visibility in the dark.

The Hoka Mach 6 sneakers have an airy jacquard upper that helps your feet stay cool as you run. They have maximum cushioning on the soles and its outsoles are made of a durable rubber material that provides traction when running on different terrain. It also has an internal gusset, which helps prevent the tongue from moving to the side while you run.
