A Broad, Dark ShadeThe wikiwiki Offset 10-Foot Cantilever umbrella just barely got beat out for one of the top spots. We really like how dark the shade is, as it doesn't reflect light from the ground in addition to blocking out the direct sun. We like the cantilever aesthetic quite a bit, and we think it looks good no matter where it is. This umbrella would've performed higher in our tests if its operation was smoother, which we expect at this price point.

The Surnie LED is a bright, quality rope light for lighting up an interior or exterior space. It's waterproof, cuttable, and mountable with included hardware, which makes it a versatile product. The square shape holds a spiral quite evenly and nicely, making it less twisty and lumpy than some of the tubular options. The square makes it harder for the Surnie to lay flat without mounting it, however. We also wish that it had a dedicated on/off switch.

Replaceable Lenses: Yes | Adjustable Coverage: NoThe Pyramex Fortress has a few things going for it. We liked the low-profile sport style that worked well under a hat, mask, or both. The nose bridge was also nicely adjustable and comfortable, and the rubberized bridge and temples kept the glasses tight to the face. The Fortress was nicely durable and took both dull and sharp impacts well. The price is especially appreciated.

The Kijaro Dual Lock Folding Chair is a classic folding sports chair without any of the slouchy slack you've come to expect from camping chairs. The firm seat locks into place with a tall, friendly-angled back that helps this model be easy to appreciate. Our tallest friends and family members love the added seat height of this towering chair, and our grandparents love how easily they can get in and out of it.
