Spring break is over, and soon school will be out for summer. Between the long days spent at playgrounds, sports games and making sure everyone’s on time for their myriad activities, the months between June and September might be every mom’s busiest season. We’ve curated the essentials you’ll need from DSG, a brand that is exclusively sold at DICK’S Sporting Goods, to keep yourself cool (and sane) this summer — while still squeezing in the movement you love most and the most out of your budget.
Stainless Steel Water Bottle
A sturdy bottle is at the top of our summer must-haves list. DSG’s stainless steel option is double-wall insulated to keep your water cool for up to 20 hours on those hot days. It’s also engineered with a flip-straw, so you can stay hydrated wherever the day takes you.
High Rise Stride Short
For those really sticky afternoons (or those extra-sweaty workouts), these shorts are a great grab-and-go staple. With a three-inch inseam and moisture-wicking fabric, they’ll keep you cool without sacrificing a bit of style.
Movement Seamless Tee
Looking for a cool complement to the High Rise Stride Short? This top will take you from workouts to kid activities and keep you cool the whole way with its moisture-wicking fabric.
Crescent Bag
Any mom could use an extra pair of hands. This crescent bag’s interior mesh pocket and front zip compartment are designed to keep your essentials organized and safely tucked away, so you don’t have to juggle your keys and phone while also keeping track of your kids. Style it as a crossbody for a hike, or throw it over your shoulder before heading to the gym.
Backpack Cooler
This is the year you finally stop lugging your snacks around in that canvas tote. The DSG Backpack Cooler holds up to 20 cans with ice, and comes complete with a bottle opener and side mesh pockets — so you can enjoy your beach picnic at the water’s edge.
Ruffle Skort
These sunny days are often filled with … shuffling your kids to and from activities. Make the job a bit easier with this ruffle skort, which can help solve your warm-weather wardrobe dilemmas. Fit with a built-in short and moisture-wicking material, it will take you from morning tennis practice to afternoon playtime, with no outfit change required.
Aviator Polarized Sunglasses
Your summer essentials wouldn’t be complete without some shades. These polarized lenses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection so you’re always ready for those long days in the sun (whether you’re working out, or just working on your tan).
Movement Seamless Tank
Stay cool during even the hottest of days with this tank, made of moisture-wicking fabric. The scoop neckline and lightweight feel make it a versatile piece that can be worn on its own or layered under other shirts.
