　　Ultralight, four-season tent for winter adventures near treeline

　　Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, the MSR Access 2 tent is lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a 3-season backpacking tent. Limited mesh on the tent body offers greater warmth on frigid nights, while the light and packable design saves you precious energy on the climb and descent. The interior is spacious for changing clothes, and the strong frame resists overnight snow loading. Quick to set up, the tent offers the protection needed for camping in less severe conditions, such as those near treeline—making it perfect for accessing the bowls, ridges and powder fields above.

Footprint sold separately.

Plenty of Room to Grow: Osprey Poco Plus Review

　　There are so many options for baby-wearing and child-carrying, and I, for one, was overwhelmed when I first looked into carriers. When I finally found the Osprey carriers, I felt a little more confident that my need to explore outdoor spaces would not be inhibited by my new tiny roommate. 　　This leading brand in backpacking gear delivers in all the...

Nomad Grill & Smoker Review: This Portable Grill Actually Brings the Heat

　　Everyone loves a backyard barbecue, but what if you don’t have a backyard? Not long ago, I ditched my house for a second-floor apartment. While I don’t miss mowing the lawn, the absence of convenient outdoor cooking hurts, as smoking and grilling have been huge fixtures of my year-round lifestyle, especially since beginning three book collaborations with barbecue master Aaron...

Kid-Friendly, Climber Approved: The ‘Via Ferrata’ Experience

　　Its a crisp July morning in Jackson Hole. My kids are lined up at the base of a cliff, helmets on, and ready to climb. 　　You clip the cable and just go, our guide explains. A set of ladder rungs snakes 50 feet skyward, disappearing around a bend. 　　Id booked a half-day excursion to show my kids the proverbial ropes...

Driving Toward a Better Future

　　Some vehicles are so popular they have their own online forums. Others even have IRL followings. But the Defender community takes fandom to a new level, gathering for an annual festival and celebrating the Defender Service Awards presented by CHASE, which support mission-driven nonprofits with cash and a customized Defender 130. Applications for the 2024 Defender Service Awards will be accepted from June...

5 Ways to Get Equipped for Off-Road Adventure

　　It’s no surprise that overlanding is booming—when it comes to outdoor adventure, there’s nothing more accessible. With a few key pieces of gear, you can explore the backcountry and camp in comfort in the most remote places. But that doesn’t mean you should just hop in your vehicle and leave the pavement behind. You can avoid a lot of trial...

An Ode to My Overalls

　　For six months last year, once a week between May and October, I put on a pair of overalls and played farm girl as a volunteer on a goat dairy near my home in Boulder, Colorado. I’ll soon start shifts for this summer. The experience has taught me a lot: That everything on a farm has a purpose. That nothing...

First Look Review: COROS’ First Bike Computer, the DURA

　　COROS rolls into cycling today with the DURA, the brands first foray into bike computers. This seems logical, as many of its wrist-mounted products, with just a few more functions, would function well as cycling computers if they had bigger readouts and were on the handlebar instead of the wrist. 　　I received a pre-launch sample, but Ive only ridden with...

How Sepp Kuss Became Pro Cycling’s Chillest Champion

　　Sepp Kuss appears at the door wearing a pair of fuzzy slippers and a warm grin. “Did you find the place OK?” he asks, leading me inside. “How was your drive down?” 　　The smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the hallway as we walk past paintings of wooded mountains and snowy landscapes. It’s as if we’ve entered a ski chalet...

Your Bike Was Stolen. Now What?

　　It was only a matter of time. After all, my husband and I live in Boulder County, Colorado, one of the bike meccas of the U.S. where the joke is that the bike on the back of the car is often worth more than the car itself—and thieves know it. Besides being a hub for mountain-, gravel-, and road biking, Boulder...

The Best Outdoor Gear for Your Four-Legged Trail Buddies

　　An intrepid spirit is all a good adventure dog truly needs—but having the right gear can help pups and their guardians enjoy the journey. Canine hikers can’t always advocate for themselves, so we prioritized products that put safety, comfort, and function at the forefront. For all the joy they give us, our favorite companions deserve the best. 　　At a Glance...

Revamped Iconic Frames and Gold Glass Greatness: Costa Grand Catalina Review

　　Sporting some killer new options for both frame styles and lens technology, we don’t know whether to be more excited about Costa’s new gold-mirrored lens or revamped Grand Catalina frames. Performance and style-driven, both of these deadly new offerings from Costa are excellent on their own and even better when paired together. 　　Costa has been busy. Just when I thought...
