The summer will be over with before you know it, so you had better spend as much time at the beach or the pool as you can. That having been said, will you be wearing this made-to-order Wonder Woman swimsuit from Etsy user meshalo, or this hot little Harley Quinn number?

Invade the beach this summer with one of four zombie bikini styles from Pale Horse Designs. They also make matching heels and hoodies.

Just make sure to wear sunscreen to prevent your rotting flesh from baking in the sun.

Check out two more bikini designs after the break.

Uh oh, Ariel had better swim between those two cliffs and hope Jaws gets stuck.

If you are going to risk all kinds of skin aliments from sun exposure, you might as well get a freshly charged cellphone out of the deal.

These solar-powered bikinis absorb some of the sun’s rays and pass them on to your gadgets via a USB connection. Needless to say, taking a dip in the pool with one of these on is not recommended.

Custom orders for the bikinis are now being accepted by designer Andrew Schneider. Supposedly, they are priced around $200. Check out an additional image after the break.

April showers bring May flowers—unless you hold Mother Nature hostage with the Gunbrella. Indeed, that awesome pop gun-style umbrella we first brought to you last week can be yours by simply entering our contest. In fact, we are giving away three Gunbrellas to lucky Nerd Approved readers!

Water-bound anime fans rejoice! Neon Genesis Evangelion wet suits based on the “Plug Suits” from characters Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu are now available for confident ladies and effeminate men. Oh, and you’ll need a bit of cash too since they run nearly $2000.

These Small Foot inflatable showshoes are a compact solution to traveling a cross deep powder. All you need to do is strap the little donut around your shoes and you’re good to go.

They fit into a couple of small bags when not in use, and can be inflated quickly using the hand pump. I doubt they would work as well as a full-sized pair of snowshoes, but they are probably better than anything you could cobble together Bear Grylls style.

Designer Ole Jensen has this whole wizard/Druid/KKK thing going on with his “Rain Cloak”. It even has an extension for wizards that need to carry around a Harry Potter backpack.

As you will see in the video after the break, traveling around in a group wearing these raincoats looks a little suspect.

If you want to really beat the cold this winter, Milwaukee has the jacket for you. It’s powered by the same M12 Red Lithium battery that the company uses in its power tools—only this time, the power is going to three carbon fiber heating zones. All in all, it can help keep you warm for up to 8 hours.

Think of it like an electric Snuggie for more rugged, outdoorsy types.
