What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day? We Asked Our Gearheads with Kids.

The Best Kids Gear for Summer Adventures
  Let’s be clear: The toys do not make the summer. It’s the intention we as parents put into spending longer days outside with the kids once the school year ends that can make the season feel special. We can say, though, that the toys do make summer easier.   Gear that’s designed specifically for kids and thoughtfully built with smart performance...

  If a surfboard is a paintbrush and a wave is a canvas, then surfers today have thousands of different tools to make art. Are you a traditionalist, like the Old Masters? Take out a classic longboard. Are you more keen on surrealist style, channeling your inner Salvador Dali? Go for an asymmetrical shape. What about contemporary, akin to Yayoi Kusama?...

YETI Flask, Shot Glasses Are a Toast to the Brand’s Core
  When YETI reached out a week ago to pitch its newest product, I took a moment to consider that it didnt already exist. YETI didnt already have a flask? Really?   Well, now it does, and its everything that makes YETI an icon.   Heavy-duty? Yep. Functional? Absolutely. And yes, its a little more expensive than similar-quality products. But as its not...
Why You (Yes, You) Were Born to Run
  The theory that human endurance evolved out of our need to outrun our prey has intrigued runners for four decades. After all, the idea of “persistence hunting” presents a much more romantic explanation for our otherwise pathological obsession with slogging through the Trial of Miles. According to the original endurance hunting theory laid out in a 1984 paper by David...
