Technically, summer starts on June 21, but everyone knows the warm-weather season doesn't officially pop off until July 4, when the fireworks light up the sky while you're chilling next to your (or someone else's) girl with a hot dog in one hand and a cold beer in the other. We know you're currently in the process of planning and preparing your own celebration for our nation's 233rd birthday.
So, to help you out, Complex has compiled 20 of our favorite products to help make your Fourth of July weekend all the more dope. From hot sauce (heads in the know carry their own) to sunscreen (ditto), we got you covered. The girl on the other hand? We can't help you with that...
