Embrace the Mountainkind Spirit
  It’s not a word you know, but a spirit you can feel when you’re surrounded by people who feel the passion for the mountains that you do. Mountainkind is the intangible force that fuels action outdoors and sustains the wild scene discovered. It’s an attitude shared—a friendly hello to fellow hikers and a deeper respect for the culture and landscape...
How to Clean, Waterproof, and Care for Your Technical Apparel
  Have you ever bundled yourself up in the early winter, trudged outside to shovel your walk or clear off your car from the first storm of the season, and found yourself soaking wet? Your waterproof-breathable shells, sleeping bags, gloves, boots, insulation, and soft shells all need regular cleaning and maintenance to keep protecting you from cold, wet conditions. Retreating your gear...
This Is the Last Place You Should Wear Whole-Body Deodorant
  I couldn’t tell you where I was when I first saw Secret’s whole-body deodorant commercial, but I can tell you it has followed me everywhere since—from Instagram to YouTube to my household’s patchwork of streaming services. “Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink,” a woman deadpans straight into the camera. Then, a chorus of women cheerfully extolls...
2025 Aston Martin Vantage Review: Great Expectations, Even Better in the Flesh
  A more compact footprint sufficiently differentiates the Vantage from the larger DB12 grand tourer and Vanquish flagship. Both those stellar models serve their purpose, but the smallest Aston in the lineup caters to driving enthusiasts with a dynamic and nimble chassis.   That chassis now houses a twin-turbo AMG V8 massaged by Aston to pump out an unbelievable 656 horsepower and...
First Look: Suunto Wing and Sonic Headphones
  Your personalized playlist can be the key to achieving faster splits, pushing through longer distances, or simply setting the right vibe to match your mantra. Whatever role it plays for you, it shouldn’t compromise your safety on the trail or pavement. You can still enjoy music or podcasts while staying in tune with your surroundings—you just need the right headphones....
GearJunkie Goes Full Suspension on the Slopes: ShredShox First Look Review
  I stood on the edge of the catwalk, looking down at the moguls below me. I bounced experimentally on the air shocks beneath my feet, which compressed slightly under my weight. This was my third run with the ShredShox platform system, and I was just starting to get a feel for it.   It wasnt throwing my skiing off — as I...
The Weird Foothill Guy Believes His Style of Skiing Is Better than a Day at the Resort. We Tried It Out.
  Whump! My face plant is sudden, a cartwheel of flying ski poles and curse words into powder. The sting of snow on bare skin jolts my eyes open, and I hear a chorus of woo! erupt lower on the slope.   “Yeah, Fred!” a voice bellows. “You were a little too far forward—remember to keep your weight back.”   I brush myself...
Virginia Hunter Killed by Bear Falling From Tree
  Black bears are considered less dangerous game animals than brown bears or grizzlies —but a hunting accident this month shows that encounters can still be deadly.   On Monday, Dec. 9, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources was notified of a hunting incident in Lunenburg County. A group of hunters were pursuing a bear when it climbed up a tree. A...
What’s the Best Time to Drink a Protein Shake?
  Protein shakes have exploded in popularity. Per a 2023 journal article, the market value for protein supplements (which includes ready-to-drink shakes, powders, gummies, and bars) is expected to hit $10.8 billion in 2030. Despite their high demand, it can be challenging to know the best time of day to drink a protein shake.   If you’re planning to have one, it’s...
Use This Smart Advice to Avoid Fights When Packing a Car for a Road Trip
  My partner and I always fight while packing the car for a road trip, especially around the holidays. It brings out the worst in us. Our stress and anxiety turn into arguments about how to organize the trunk, and—not kidding—whether he really needs to bring his espresso machine. Help! How can we avoid another packing meltdown this month? —Road Weary...
Who’s Got It Worse, Ass-Pens or J-Holes?
  Outside spends a lot of time ranking the best mountain towns in the country, but which one is the worst? Is Aspen’s conspicuous wealth worse than Jackson Hole’s false modesty? How many billionaires does it take to ruin a local economy? Is there any hope for the ski-bum lifestyle? Paddy O’Connell and Frederick “Rico” Reimers bring us a debate you...
10-Lb. Canoe Carries 800 Lbs., Fits in Your Pack: Alpacka Raft Rendezvous Review
  After struggling against a headwind for the better part of an hour, I had some flagging confidence in our inflatable canoe. The concept was good — great, even — but facing a persistent wind in your larger-than-average rubber duck will make anyone question whether the trade was worth it. My doubt was short-lived, however.   Later that day, we met another...
