Travel Chair and Cocoon Bunk Sack with Insect Shield: Whether camping in the wilderness or sitting on the sidelines of your child’s soccer game, you’ll want this portable chair as your perch. An insect repellent embedded in the fabric keeps biting bugs from ruining your good time (and is also EPA-registered and appropriate for use by children and pregnant women). The bunk sack has been similarly treated, and can be used by itself or as a cover for a no-itch night under the stars. Price: $60 (chair): www.travelchair.com and $30 (bunk sack): www.insectshield.com.
