Description

　　Maximum usable space, outstanding comfort, and strength in a lightweight package

　　Because of its two door/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its smart design, the Hilleberg Kaitum 3 provides a stunning balance of super light weight, overall comfort and high strength. Backpackers gravitate toward the Kaitum 3’s light weight and remarkable roominess, as do paddle and bicycle tourers, who also appreciate its small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers favor the Kaitum 3 because of its all-season strength as well as its low weight. And taller users will find the Kaitum’s plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.

　　A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

Maximum Flotation, Minimal Compromise for Paddling Big Water: Astral Indus PFD Review

　　After scouting the whole gorge a few hundred feet below us, we committed. As we looked downstream on the Stehekin River toward the final crux rapid, made up of three high-volume, dynamic recirculating holes, we knew there was no turning back. 　　Both of us were ready: wearing all 22 pounds of flotation packed into the newAstral Indus PFD— but even...

Budget Buoyancy: Goodr Tidal G Floating Sunglasses Review

　　If youve spent any amount of time on a body of water, chances are youve found sunken, destroyed sunglasses. I see them all the time, and with each discovery, I feel a moment of excitement, with dreams of finding a set of Costas dancing through my head.

Race-Ready, Barely Bounces, Conquers Comfort: The North Face Summit Series Run Vest 5 Review

　　By mid-June, it dawned on me like it does every year — summer is hotter than ever. As sweat poured down my face and I caught my breath at the top of a dusty trail climb, I was thankful to have two soft flask water bottles along for the run. I can’t get away with skimping on water like I...

Fourth of July Snow Day: Ski Season Only Ends When You Let It

　　Im going to let you in on a little secret that Big Ski doesnt want you to know: Ski season only ends when you decide its over. Corporations like Vail and Alterra might have monopolies on lift access, but they dont get to put limitations on skiing, no matter how badly they wish they could. 　　You decide when your season...

Worthy of a Cult Following: Kizer Drop Bear Review

　　Knives are seasonal for me. I tend to carry heavier, bulkier knives in the colder months and lighter knives in the spring and summer. This owes partly to the fact that 10 years ago, lightweight knives were generally meant for light duty. 　　But now with advances in materials and manufacturing, lightweight knives have become more capable than ever. 　　When I...

　　I’ve long been a Chaco sandal gal, but sometimes they feel a little technical for everyday use. Searching for something a little lighter and less clunky for a road trip recently, I rediscovered the Teva Original Universal Sandal. I rocked a pair of Tevas as a kid in the 90s, and it turns out they’re still in style! 　　Whether I...

　　I’m a sucker for backpacks. Day packs, casual backpacks, backpacking backpacks — they each serve a unique purpose. I’ve been building my backpack collection over the past few years and love having the perfect pack for whatever the day’s adventure might call for. 　　I split my time pretty evenly between the mountains and the sea, and was in the market...

　　The original version of this story was published oniRunFar. 　　Nolans 14 is a stunningly difficult route, even by Colorado standards. Scaling 14 14,000-foot mountains, this epic sojourn through the Rockies is no easy task.

　　Land Rover wants to make the Defender Octa even meaner. The 626-horsepower twin-turbo V8, raised air suspension, and 2.7-inch-wider track might have you feeling supersonic, but they just werent enough to help make it the toughest, most capable, and most luxurious Defender.
