I've tested my fair share of speakers here at Tom's Guide, and one feature that always sticks out to me is the battery life. I need to make sure I have enough juice to take the speaker with me on walks, or day trips to the beach.

I also need to know the speaker can withstand everything thrown at it come rain or shine. That's Where the Tribit PocketGo comes in. It's an uber affordable speaker that can take on water, dust, or falls with ease. And right now for Presidents' Day sales, the speaker has dropped to its lowest price. You pick up the Tribit PocketGo at Amazon for just $19.

The Tribit PocketGo has hit it's lowest price in the Presidents' Day deals at Amazon. It's a rugged speaker with an IP68 waterproof rating, making it ideal for adventures along with military grade drop protection. After making some minor EQ adjustments in the Tribit app, the speaker sounds great and reaches super loud volumes.

Music all day long

When I head out on a hike and take a speaker with me, I always worry about running out of battery halfway along the trail. This is extremely annoying as music is a huge source of motivation for me, but the PocketGo has taken away those worries.

With a whopping 20 hours of battery life, the Tribit PocketGo can support my listening all day long, even at higher volumes. I've previously taken it with me on a weekend trip and didn't need to charge it once even though I was listening to music all day every day.

A rugged beauty

It may not be the prettiest speaker, but the PocketGo offers military-grade levels of protection against the elements. With a waterproof and dustproof rating of IP68, the speaker is totally dust-tight, meaning you can take it to the beach and not worry about sand getting in everywhere, and you can even submerge it in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

The PocketGo has even come in the shower with me to totally elevate my karaoke (sorry to my neighbors). But if you love taking a speaker to add a soundtrack to your hikes, and are a butter fingers like myself, you'll appreciate the drop protection.

The PocketGo has a durability rating of MIL-STD-810H, which in layman's terms means that it can survive a four-foot drop. I never need to worry about this speaker, even when it's clipped to the outside of my bag in the rain.
