　　I was waiting at my gate in Tokyo Narita Airport, about to walk out onto the tarmac, sweating through my Smartwool tee. It was 33 degrees Celcius outside (91.4 degrees Fahrenheit), and I could expect the same where I was going. Every time I put on my NEMO Vantage Endless Promise Backpack, overstuffed with travel essentials, I said a quiet...

　　As a frequent belayer and pretty short lady, I always appreciate a cropped down jacket that doesn’t sacrifice warmth or style.

　　The latest Colorado ZR2/Canyon AT4X is better in all regards than the last generation.They have far fewer faults and now offer the option of 35-inch tires and American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) special sauce. However, they do have some quirks and faults. 　　I spent a week at my home in Portland, Ore., with the 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition. During...

　　When it comes to taking the road less traveled, having the best off-road wheels — along with a solid set of tires — is a basic necessity.

　　The great thing about traveling with a van (we’re still using the term “van life,” right?) is the freedom to live and work out of your vehicle and move from place to place. As long as you’ve got fuel in the tank and food in the fridge, you can keep on going. 　　But, what if your van was powered by...

　　When most people think of Nevada, they picture seas of sagebrush or glittering casinos rising out of the desert.

The state’s plethora of isolated, achingly beautiful hot...

　　SRAM has indeed done more than bold new graphics and minor updates, ushering in significant developments like the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and direct-mount Transmission derailleurs. 　　Sharp-eyed gravel bike aficionados have spotted what looks to be a new SRAM Red XPLR groupset on sponsored riders bikes for months.

　　What do Bradley Cooper, Alexandria, Va., and crab cakes have in common? Only the BeerJunkie knows, and the man himself, Paul Pabst, somehow ties it all together in his review of Port City Brewings Optimal Wit. 　　From the first notes to the final aftertaste, Pabst takes a flavor tour of the D.C.-area port city in less time than it takes...

　　The best view of Sweetwater Lake is from the tall rock outcrop on its north side. From there, you can see the twinkling water below, the raptors nesting cliffs, the horseback stables of AJ Brink Outfitters, and the adjacent historical buildings that once housed true Western outlaws. You can even make out the trail across the lake that leads back...

　　Yes, the world is getting hotter, and not just because its summer. But we can still find ways to enjoy the outdoors. Just look at the participants of the Badwater 135 ultramarathon. They manage to run extreme distances in the worlds hottest landscape by choice. 　　Great gear can often help, like the Death Valley-inspired collection from 2XU or the colorful...
