One of the most indispensable items for spring tent camping is a rain fly. Your tent probably comes with one, but when that thing gets absolutely drenched, the water will soak through and drip from the ceiling. So, install this tarp above your tent and at an angle, so the rain rolls right off it.

"Our heritage is rooted in building gear for people who live and thrive in the mountains, and that includes our own team. Many of us ride; our athletes ride. Mountain biking is part of our culture," Ashley Anson, VP Design at Arc'teryx, said.

Valle Nevado, located in the Chilean Andes, is South America's largest ski resort, known for its legendary powder days and cultural immersion experience.

Ortovox is launching its first-ever mountain bike collection, the Sequence series, which includes two distinct lines: Trail and Free, aimed at integrating alpine values into biking.

Visually inspect skis, bases, and edges. If any damage, get a full tune to fix the damage, grind the bases, and sharpen the edges.

The best way to describe a Jerry is 'an individual who exhibits a true lack of understanding for their sport, or for life in general.' Jerry's are typically the ones you see on the mountain who are booming down the runs, heading to hit the next person they see.

Adventure lovers, this one's for you. Ahead of the long weekend, REI just dropped an epic sale on outdoor essentials from editor-loved brands like Patagonia, Hoka, Vuori, and more. Whether you're planning a weeks-long backpacking trip or a casual afternoon hike, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the retailer's jaw-dropping discounts on durable travel bags, comfortable hiking shoes, packable layers, and camping gear for up to 64 percent off.

Using Voronoi polygon modelling, the design team mapped how pressure from a sleeping head distributes across the pillow's surface, then engineered protrusions and recesses to respond to that data. The front face features raised cellular structures that increase the contact area between pillow and skin, improving comfort while simultaneously channelling airflow to keep things cool. The back face offers four distinct tactile zones depending on orientation, giving users a degree of customisation that is rare in camping gear. Also, a little warning but: trypophobia alert.

I grew up just outside of Toronto and went to university in Montreal, so needless to say, I know cold. I'm no stranger to below-zero temperatures, snow up to my shins, and slippery strolls to and from extra-curricular activities. And if there's one brand we trust to keep us warmand keep us movingup in Canada, it's The North Face. I've been donning The North Face's parkas, snow boots, and insulating layers to stay toasty for as long as I can remember,

AllTrails, a hiking app with trail maps and reviews, dug into insights from their 90 million-plus members and team of trail experts to spotlight lesser-known places where the trail alone is worth planning a trip around. Their guide, Travel-Worthy Trails for 2026, spotlights eight unexpected destinations around the world where the trail is the destination.

There's something oddly satisfying about watching outdoor gear shed its bulk. We've seen tents collapse into impossibly small pouches and sleeping bags compress into cylinders the size of water bottles. Now, Camprit is applying that same minimalist philosophy to camp stoves with their TiStove, and the results are kind of brilliant. The concept is deceptively simple. Take five titanium pieces (two foldable legs and three cooking panels), make them pack completely flat, and keep the whole setup under 1.5 pounds.

A favorite of backpackers, outdoor adventurers, and national park wanderers alike, Cotopaxi is known for its deceptively spacious bags, outdoor gear, protective clothing, and colorful styles. I've spent my fair share of time trekking up and down the country with my own Cotopaxi bag ( Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack), which has seen such sights as Acadia National Park and downtown Boston, and on a recent trip to Italy, my travel partner brought hers along the Amalfi Coast.

BackcountryFor most skiers, "all-inclusive" means a lift ticket and a buffet. Forrest Schmidt means something very different: a hot titanium stove in a tipi, filet mignon next to a steaming hot spring, and ancient araucaria trees holding cold smoke over a perfectly set skintrack. Schmidt, a 44-year-old "East Coast kid" from rural New York, runs APEX Andes (Andes Puro Exploraciones) out of Malalcahuello in Chile's Araucanía region. His guide service is small by design with

The beginning of a new year can oftentimes bring about a frenzy of activity: setting resolutions, getting settled into your routines, and even planning trips for the months ahead. But as January comes to a close, now is the time to hold yourself to a stricter budget to make up for the chaos of the holidaysand we found a rare trove of items under $50 at REI that will satisfy your desire to buy.

While best known for its minimalist camping gear - the brand's instantly recognizable titanium mug is a mainstay in Pacific Northwest campsites and cramped Brooklyn apartments alike - Snow Peak's lineup of insulated, down-filled and fire-resistant styles is criminally underrated. With perfected silhouettes, low-key Japanese detailing and sparse styling, it's slightly different than you're used to, but all in service of a better (dressed) outdoor experience.

Presidents Day is right around the corner, which means we're officially in that sweet spot of the calendar where anyone and everyone is running a sale. But while we're bracing for the usual long-weekend price drops, we're checking up on Esquire's old favorite, Yeti. If you read this magazine, you know we don't just casually "like" Yeti-we love it. We've covered Yeti's past sales, officially endorsed the Yeti ice bucket, and even tested its coolers in Death Valley's brutal 117-degree heat.

Having been at InsideHook for the past seven years, I know that you guys are super into Outerknown, the Kelly Slater-founded clothing company that specializes in laid-back basics that are equally at home on a beach or out to dinner. Or just...at home, I guess. So I feel obligated to alert you to the very, very good sale they're currently hosting, on everything from their best-selling Blanket Shirt to their must-have Nomad Shorts, as well as $28 hoodies (?!?!) and a whole lot more.

While the lake spares this area much of the bitter cold, temperatures regularly drop well below zero at night. We have weeks where daily highs are in the single digits Fahrenheit. If that sounds miserable to you its because you don't have the clothes to deal with it. In order to get outside and do anything in these conditions you need good gear.
