For the first time in 17 years, Yuengling – the oldest brewery in America – is releasing a beer that will be sold year-round and isn’t just seasonal. Yuengling Golden Pilsner is, as the name implies, a pilsner that is both thoroughly modern and reliably old-fashioned – like Yuengling itself.
There’s an e-bike for just about every situation these days, whether you wish to start shredding some trails or just take a relaxing ride through the neighborhood. But while most electric bikes give the impression of being…well, electric-powered bikes, the Trek Crossrip+ is a bit different. It’s not so much an E-bike as it is a road bike with an additional, incredibly efficient electric motor.
If you’re looking for a bombproof knife that combines the best of versatility, compactness and extra-strength durability, the Fenix Ruike M61 Stainless multi-tool is the answer. With 21 functions – including a 2.8” blade, it’s ready for anything – a modernized take on the classic Swiss Army Knife.
If you’re looking for the perfect folding knife for EDC and CCW, look no further than the SpyderCo Manix 2. This is a 5-star knife that has been popular amongst EDC aficionados and tactical enthusiasts alike, and it’s not hard to see why when you get the chance to carry it around with you.
Remember the Ford Bronco? It’s been a while since they were made, but few cars were as unique or as iconic as the legendary four-wheel behemoth. There’s no question we’re excited to see this behemoth back on the road, and you should be too. The original Bronco was THE offroad SUV during it’s heyday, but it hasn’t been produced since 1996, when it boasted a 4.95L V8 and boasted that removable roof.
Backpacking is awesome. As is bikepacking. But honestly, neither compares to packrafting. There’s just something about floating down a river, whether it’s winding through a mountain gorge, or just the woods, with your gear alongside you, and having to touch land for the night.
Every time we see one of the James Brand’s knives, we’re impressed. They always seem to know how to take a classic, trusty knife design and modernize it into something a bit sleeker and more attractive.
While a pair of running gloves may not improve your running time and speed, they sure can make the whole thing a lot more comfortable. When it’s cold out, flying through the air can make your hands even colder than they need to be – which isn’t exactly fun or conducive to training. Even with spring here, the air can still be pretty chilly and wet.
Hammock camping is cool, but you know what is even cooler? A Hammock backpack. And the HackedPack takes that to a whole new level, by literally integrating the hammock right into the backpack
If you’re not sure what elastic metal is, you can definitely be forgiven. Keego is the newest water bottle on the market and probably the coolest, made of 99.8% pure titanium with an elastic core, for a metal water bottle that squeezes just like any plastic water bottle – but without the downsides.
We love turntables. The tradition and old-fashioned ritual of listening to vinyl just can’t be beat – especially if you consider yourself somewhat of an audiophile. And a classic turntable just looks great with any décor. And if that décor leans toward a minimalist design, you ought to plunge for a minimalist turntable like the Wheel by Miniot.
All Topo Designs apparel and gear is handmade in Colorado, with a design rooted in old-timey, classic pieces of mountain gear, but also built with the demands the modern adventurer in mind. The Klettersack is one such piece.
Everyone needs a nice leather notebook, whether you know it or not. Having something conveniently nearby to write on is always a good idea and having a durable notebook that you can take anywhere safely is best. Which is why you should get a Bull and Stash notebook, like the Leonard Journal.
When you’re taking on some seriously high-altitude, extreme conditions, you need a stove that can handle the worst of weather and cold. You need the MSR XGK EX.
Having a fire source and method handy is a necessity when in the backcountry, or in a whole host of other tactical situations. So it’s important to keep something on you that won’t be ruined by a little water, or get broken and leak gas everywhere should it run into some tough terrain or abuse. Exotac knows this, why is why they make a line of dependable, heavy-duty fire gear built to last.
With plenty of storage in a slim, sleek package, the Incase EO is a versatile pack ready to tackle the demands of both everyday and overnight travel.
We all enjoy listening to some tunes when we’re riding or chewing up some slopes. But headphones can be a bit of a hassle, and not to mention dangerous when you can’t hear your surroundings. Thankfully, there’s Domio.
We’re certainly no strangers to titanium knives, but we’re not super familiar with diving knives. Not just any old knife will do when you’re diving underwater, and protection against corrosion and rust becomes more important than ever before. So Atomic Aquatics set out to solve this problem. With a corrosion-resistant, full-tang titanium blade, the Ti6 Titanium Dive Knife is a versatile and durable knife equipped for dives of all depths.
There’s definitely no shortage of flexible water bottles and containers out there, but we really like the HydraPak Stow. Available in17-ounce and 1-liter sizes, the Stow is made of flexible thermoplastic polyurethane that is BPA and PVC-free, and flattens, rolls and scrunches up when not in use, so as to take up much less room in your pack once it’s empty. It’s 80% lighter than your average plastic water bottle and twice as convenient.
You take your running seriously, and that means you get out there and pump out a few miles every single day, in rain, snow, heat, sun, hail, ice. Actually we don’t recommend running outdoors if there is frozen rain and a thick layer of ice on the ground, because that’s just not safe. But a little rain shouldn’t scare you off, either. With spring right around the corner, and all the April showers (and March ones, and May flowers, to….) you should be prepped and outfitted for a little damp weather. So let’s take a look at the best running rain jackets out there for 2018.
While there’s no shortage of ultralight tents designed for the backcountry, there are few others as creative as Tarptent. Created by an engineer with a love for the outdoors in 1999, the original Tarptent weighed only 18-ounces.
Packrafting isn’t yet a very popular method of outdoor adventuring, but it should be. There’s something soothing, yet invigorating, about spending the day navigating waters as they wind through the wind through mountains, meadows, canyons, getting off every few hours to explore and to camp out the night. It’s that love of uncharted waters that inspired the folks at Kokopelli to create the Rogue Packraft.
Whether you’re want it for relaxing in the backyard on a summer’s night, or for having an easier way to make a fire at the campsite, a gas-powered portable campfire makes it easy. Less work, less smoke, less hassle. Our choice is the Outland Firebowl.
Quick, think multitool. What’s the first thing that pops into your head? For us, it’s the name Leatherman. Along with Swiss Army Knife and Gerber, they are one of the most tried-and-true brands of multitools and knives around, and one of the few names that everybody recognizes in a world full of quality blades.
