Zerk 40 (Fall 2023)
$164.96
Description

　　The ideal combo of weight, durability, comfort, and accessibility; purpose-built for thru-hiking

　　Co-designed with The Real Hiking Viking, a professional hike-really-long-distances-really-quickly-er, the ZERK 40 was born out of a need for an ultralight pack that can withstand the thousands of miles per year that he already covers. Mountainsmith wanted to make sure that this pack would allow him to go farther, to hike longer, and to work more efficiently on the trail. Over the course of 2 years of development, the ZERK 40 went through 4 iterations and over 5,000 miles of testing on the Wind River High Route, the Colorado Trail, the Tetons, and more.

Footprint sold separately.

Salewa Drops Into U.S. With First Ski Kit: Sella Free 3L Powertex Review
　　The 2024/25 ski season started in earnest overnight in Colorado. With 2 feet of fresh snow on the ground, I couldn’t help but cave to my powder addiction.

The Best Sports Watches (2025)
　　When we started tallying up how many miles our group covered while testing watches, we ended somewhere around 4,000 miles.

My First Thru-Hike Wrecked My Feet. Now I Never Trek Without Toe Spacers.
　　In a previous lifetime, my idea of a long-distance hike was a music festival. For four days, I’d parade across dusty fields or clotted city streets, traipsing from stage to stage in pursuit of the next show. Who knows how many miles I clocked in those peripatetic bursts, but at that extended moment—a music critic in his 20s, way more...
