Provisions: Enhance your recreation and travel experience

BUY

▪ 1Voice Bluetooth-Enabled Beanie

Because we just can’t be bothered to fiddle with getting the ear buds under our beanies on those cold treks in the wilderness, where we blot out the sounds of nature with the sounds of Taylor Swift, an outfit called 1Voice has developed an ingenious Bluetooth-enabled beanie. The built-in headphones are powered by a rechargeable battery purported to last six to eight hours. Oh, the company also markets Bluetooth-enabled ear warmers and head bands.

BUY

▪ Bübi Bottle

Don’t let that umlaut intimidate you, the Bübi Bottle (pronounced boo-bee; no sophomoric jokes, please) is the brainchild of an American, Craig Madaus. It’s a “scrunchy bottle,” that folds up after use, perfect for airplane trips or hikes. This is one durable multiuse bottle, in sizes from 14 to 22 ounces. You can put it in the microwave, the freezer, the dishwasher, and it holds up. It’s BPA-free, too.
