Jetboil’s Lightest, Smallest ‘Stash’ Cook System Does Not Compromise
  As someone who spends many nights in the backcountry every year, I have become all too familiar with firing up backpacking stoves and eating out of bags. It’s part of the gig if you want a hot meal at night or coffee in the morning.   The truth is, though, not all stoves are created equal. Jetboil has always stood on...
Go-Kart Mode Engaged: 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door Review
  When I picked up the 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door, I knew it’d be fun. Since the modern BMW-made MINI’s debut in 2001, the performance-oriented Cooper S models have been a blast to drive. Plus, they ooze with character and novelty.   My test car wore Sunny Side Yellow paint with a black roof, 18-inch wheels, and performance tires, and...

  For 16-year-old Tayte Proulx-Royds, its impossible to remember a time when she wasnt on a bike. This teenage shredder, who started riding at the age of 3, has already competed in some of mountain bikings biggest events.   In 2011, she took home the Dark Horse Award from the Dark Horse Invitational Freeride. Tayte was just 11 years old at the...
Inside the Battle to Ride Mountain Bikes on Mount Tamalpais
  From the top of California’s 2,579-foot Mount Tamalpais, one can gaze out at a commanding view of San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge. But it wasn’t the overlook that lured 200 mountain bikers to the mountain on the crisp morning of Saturday, November 2.   The cyclists had ridden to the summit on paved and dirt roads...
This Is How to Survive Hypothermia
  Three years ago, I was pursuing a herd of elk down a steep gully into a remote mountain valley in southwest Montana when it began to snow. The storm was unexpected and hyper-local; it often is in the mountains. It was only the middle of September, so I wore thin base layers under soft-shell pants, a thin fleece jacket, and...
Sex Differences in Sport Are Hugely Controversial Right Now. Here’s What Science Does (and Doesn’t) Know.
  Earlier this month, the Journal of Applied Physiology published a paper with the title “Evidence on Sex Differences in Sports Performance.” Seems pretty straightforward, but of course it’s not. The gap between male and female athletes has become a major flashpoint in debates on whether transgender women and athletes with differences of sexual development, like the South African runner Caster...

Plus-Size Outdoor Apparel Company Alpine Parrot Shutters
  After five years of trailblazing as a plus-size apparel entrepreneur, Raquel Vélez recently shuttered her outdoor apparel company, Alpine Parrot, due to a lack of profit.   Alpine Parrot was one of a handful of outdoor brands dedicated to the plus-size market, which makes up more than 65 percent of Americans. Vélez started with sizes 14-24 and ultimately expanded to size...
16 New Outdoor-Adventure Hotels We Can’t Wait to Visit
  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good campsite. But sometimes after a big day of adventure, I crave the comfort and ease of a great hotel with a friendly staff, farm-to-table meals, gear rentals, and maybe even a sauna and cold plunge. Both in the U.S. and abroad, a plethora of brands are catering to guests who love the...
2025 Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe Review: Nothing Puts the ‘Sport’ Back in SUV Better
  Just over a year ago, I sold my 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 134,000 miles on the clock. The regret of that decision started setting in almost immediately, as usual. But when Porsche recently offered me a loan of the brand-new 2025 Cayenne GTS Coupe, my stoke levels started to rise nearly as quickly.   The Cayenne GTS returns for 2025...

  Little else ruins a good backpacking trip like a midnight run for the bushes. Weve been there, and were not keen on going back, which is why our experts have found the best backpacking water filters. We’ve spoken to thru-hikers, hunters, and mountaineers, and weve logged a not small number of miles ourselves, filtering our water along the way.   Our...
