Have you ever wanted a portable speaker you can take in the water with you? How about one that fits into your pack’s bottleholder? The Scosche BoomBOTTLE is every traveler and outdoor lover’s dream.
This waterproof speaker can go with you anywhere. It’s designed with IP67 dustproof and waterproof materials that can survive being submerged up to three feet. You probably won’t get much enjoyment trying to listen to music under the water, but at least you know you can drop it in a creek without frying it. It features two 50mm, high-quality speakers, an internal subwoofer, switchable equalization and a rechargeable battery that can also be used to power your other electronic devices. As a bonus, it contains a bottom plate that allows you to mount it on most tripods and similar devices.

 

The one odd quirk about this waterproof speaker is that while it’s shaped like a water bottle, it doesn’t actually hold water. It might’ve been great if Scosche had found a way to merge the two, but logistically we understand why that wasn’t happening. Still, it’s a handy little device to have that doesn’t take up much room and pumps out some pretty great sound.

 

The BoomBottle retails online $179.99 on Scosche’s website and is available in four different color schemes.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.
