Roka Phantom Sunglasses
They may have a classic aviator style, but this performance titanium frame is all business. They’re ultralight — but seriously resilient — and feature proprietary nose and temple pads that are comfortable and make the rose-gold lenses virtually budgeproof, no matter how hard you play.
$250, roka.com
Scrunchie Hat
Packable, crushable — and cute! — this hat is made of UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 97.5 percent of UV rays. The moldable brim protects your face and neck from damage, and an internal drawstring guarantees a perfect fit.

This timeless two-piece from PilyQ is fashionable for flaunting yet functional enough to handle whatever your sporty side can throw at it. The ties at the neck and back are easily adjustable, and the low-rise bottom comes in two cuts — full or teeny.

Jaunt Cooler
The ultra-tough waterproof cooler from Icemule keeps things chilly for more than 24 hours and holds up to 9 liters (think: a six-pack with ice). Nifty feature: You can add air to boost the insulation and better protect your edibles, and when you’re done, the cooler rolls up into a ball!
