In his test of the Journey Hydration Pack series, our tester wrote: “Ultimately, the Journey packs offer a comfortable ride, which is exactly what you want from a bag when you’re flying down singletrack.” The Journey includes an insulated bladder system, so if cold water on your ride is a priority, this is the pack for you.

In our sleeping pad review, we named the Comfort Light the best all-around option. While it’s reasonably warm with an R-value of four, we recommend it for three-season use. Sea to Summit uses a varying internal air-pocket structure which feels comfy, but we found this feature slightly penalizes weight.

Our Gear Guy has yet to find a koozie that keeps beverages frosty for longer than the Colster. Its vacuum insulation traps cold air, and the stainless-steel wrap protects your brewski—to an extent—if you drop it. That’s why this insulator is our go-to drink accessory for campground kickbacks.

The oversize handle on this insulated model makes it a little difficult to tuck into a pack, but if you’re car camping, that’s not a concern. And that handle makes the Classic easy to carry and pour. We dig the old-school German-beer-stein style of the stainless steel build, too.

This jacket provides serious warmth in a lightweight package. The DWR finish sheds water and the elastic cuffs lock in heat. And, when you’re ready to stow away the jacket for the season, it packs into the hand pocket.

This jacket earned a Gear of the Year award in our 2019 Summer Buyer’s Guide for its perfect balance between breathability and waterproofing. “Two hours of riding in pouring rain and lots of mud, and it never sprung a leak,” said one tester. We credit the stretchy Pertex Shield fabric which is lightweight and surprisingly durable.

New Zealand-based Icebreaker has sourced the merino directly from growers since 1997 and in 2000 they were the first outfitter to launch a full line of merino performance wear. The Tech Lite Crewe for men is great for hiking or everyday wear thanks to the properties of wool—wicking, breathable, and odor-resistant.

The Trail Runner editor-in-chief claims "this is the best sun-hoody for high-output activity I’ve ever tested." Thoughtful details like the zippered key/card pocket, thumb holes, and scuba hood are the cherry on top of the soft, wicking fabric that allows her to enjoy long alpine runs.

It is the lug pattern on these shoes that distinguish them from the rest. Our testers note that it feels like wearing crampons or spikes thanks to the shape, spacing, and sharpness of the lugs themselves. Grab a black pair now and your winter self will thank you in a few months.
