CAMPING GEAR

With its ergonomic, supportive design and durable frame, the Helinox Chair Zero has ranked among our favorite camp chairs for several seasons running. Light enough for backpacking yet comfy enough for campfire hangs, the Chair Zero is often copied by other brands — but never truly duplicated. Now, Helinox drops a larger version of the

If you’ve been around the mountain biking scene for a decade or three, you might associate the Pacific Northwest’s Kona Bicycle Co. with brawny big-hit rigs like the Stab, the Stinky, and the Stinky Dee-Lux. And with barrier-breaking shredders hucking them from unthinkable heights during the nascent freeride era of the late ‘90s and early

When Polaris launched the RZR XP 10 years back, it was trying to be a little bit of everything to everyone. The sport side-by-side was the original, but being the original meant having to cast a wide net. The success of that model pushed Polaris to build vehicles for more specific functions. Like the tight

Speaking for myself, it’s easy to forget that New England has mountains.  Sure, they may not be the Colorado Rockies, but they offer plenty of opportunity for lonesome backcountry adventures, as the latest vid from ultrarunner Andrew Drummond makes clear.  In his latest point-of-view style video, Drummond tackles the Presidential Range of the state’s White

Chevrolet is keeping its mouth closed on exactly what this camoed truck is. It parked it in front of a group of top automotive journalists on the first drive of the 2023 Colorado ZR2. It is unmistakably the highly anticipated second-generation Colorado ZR2 Bison. Yep, as we all expected, the next generation Colorado ZR2 will

Editor’s note: This article was originally published on BikeRumor and has been adapted for GearJunkie. E-bikes have exploded on the cycling scene over the last several years. From top-tier brands people would recognize under Tour de France riders to startup companies making modular bikes for hectic lifestyles, everyone seems to be getting on board. While

“If you’re trying to win in competition you must focus on putting down a really technical run, and that kind of takes away the flow and creativity.” At least that’s what Bobby Brown, pro skier turned filmmaker, thinks. So, how do you add creativity back into technically oriented comps? To answer that question, Brown teamed

Eight miles into a nearly 13-mile run in England, I was scrambling up 1,116 feet of scree and brush. Toward the top, I found myself traversing along the side of the rock with a steep drop on the left. It was the first time I’d done this route and I had no idea there was

Tony Stark wouldn’t be caught riding a scooter — who would when you can fly? But when he’s 92 and can’t get into his suit while wearing adult diapers, he’d still be the talk of the retirement center rolling past the bridge table on this contraption. This is the STILRIDE 1, brought to you by

Rock climbers who leave the rope on the ground — questing into the vertical to knowingly risk death — have long played the mental game the discipline requires. It is, patently, a game. Free soloing only exists through personal choice. Many of the climbs selected by free soloists also receive hundreds or thousands of normal,

Here are two things that go great together: snacks and snowboarding. Don’t believe me? Check out the TWIX Doughboard. A TWIX snowboard might sound fun, but a TWIX splitboard actually makes sense. The concept of the dichotomous left and right TWIX is evident in this special-edition splitboard that brings the classic candy “twin” bars to

“It’s almost better to be doubtful than to be certain.” That’s one of the many vulnerable moments in the latest episode of skiing icon Mikaela Shiffrin’s YouTube series Moving Right Along. In this case, it’s a line delivered straight from her bed after waking up. Though Shiffrin’s videos are published on her personal channel, she

The wind was howling when I reached the top of our backcountry run on Vail Pass; a whiteout with driving snow and flat light. As I started ripping my skins, it dawned on me — I was dry. As someone who runs exceptionally warm, I rarely get to the top of a skin track without

This week, three lucky winners will receive a pair of Danner Mountain 600s to up their hiking game. More on the Prize Crafted to withstand rugged and wet Pacific Northwest weather, Danner chose lightweight leather and lined the Mountain 600 with waterproof Danner Dry. Also, the Danner Mountain 600’s midsole is made of Vibram SPE

I am not an ultralight-gear fanatic. I wasn’t an experienced backpacker when I set out. Shockingly, I wasn’t someone with a plan. I was just someone with a passion, and a serious need to get away from my darkness and into the light of the wilderness.  Here is the gear that I used on my

Meg O’Neill, an ice climber from Salt Lake City, Utah, died in an ice collapse at Raven Falls in Utah’s Duchesne County on April 2, according to reports. The Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office has not identified the 41-year-old, pending the notification of all family members. But Embark Outdoors, where O’Neill served as assistant director, confirmed
