The longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, is here.

For those of you who aren’t into astronomy, the summer solstice typically falls between June 20-22 in the Northern Hemisphere and gives us 17 hours of uninterrupted, adventure-inducing sunlight. While the word “solstice" comes from the Latin “sol" (sun) and sistere (to stand still) that doesn’t mean you should stand still on this particular day. Quite the contrary! This day is for getting out, moving, and exploring. That said, read on to discover the gear that will help you enjoy every moment of this special day no matter what you’re up to.

Getting the Backyard Summer Ready

Are you spending the longest day of the year working on getting your backyard ready for summer BBQs? The Wingman is the perfect sidekick containing multiple pliers, scissors, multiple screwdrivers, and a bottle opener because you’re gonna want to kick back with a beer after all that hard work

Cruising Down an Epic Singletrack

For some, the longest day of the year means riding single-track mountain bike trails through rugged terrain from dawn until dusk. But before you load up and take to two-wheels, you’ll want to grab your lightweight Leatherman Skeletool that clips easily to your pants or backpack, and has a screwdriver that will tighten anything that’s a little loose while you ride

Spending the Day in the City

Extra daylight means more time to galavant around your favorite city. Enjoying the hustle and bustle means they’ll be brunch dates, shows to catch, and dinner reservations to keep. Because you’re a man-about-town, you’ll want to look your best wearing an elegant timepiece where fashion meets function. The Leatherman Tread Tempo links include a bottle opener along with multiple box wrenches and screwdrivers. The swiss-made timepiece is waterproof and will ensure that you’re never late and always arrive in style.

Unplugging in the Great Outdoors

If camping is how you’ll choose to spend this extended day, there’s nothing better than a roaring fire once the sun finally sets. Since you’ll need a handy-dandy knife for kindling, choose the Crater CC3TX that includes a bottle opener for kicking back at the campsite with a beer and a carabiner for easy carry. This lightweight knife is also perfect for exploring Instagram-worthy terrain, fishing excursions, or hunting.
