　　Cost and access are the two most significant barriers to entry into the outdoors. Maybe you live in a small town that doesnt have a gear shop or any resources on where to buy a climbing harness. Perhaps you work a minimum-wage job but still want to get outside. 　　Heck, maybe your kids are growing fast, and kids apparel is...

　　When the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hoody ($380) first launched 13 years ago, it redefined what an ultralight down jacket could be. At just over half a pound, it quickly became the go-to layer for ounce-counters and alpine minimalists — including GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold, who first tested the icon in 2013. 　　Over the years, he took it from ice...

Those runs quickly became the part of his day he looked forward to most. “That’s when I fell in love with running,” Villarreal says....

　　I only encountered a few on-snow days when Stio’s Environ ski pants didn’t excel at my local ski resort. And that’s only because I prefer ski bibs when I’m slashing (and occasionally tomahawking) through waist-deep powder. But as far as mens ski pants go, the Environ had me covered through a huge variety of weather conditions brought on by the...

　　Pushing the last backpacking trip of the year to late fall in Colorado’s high peaks comes with a near guarantee of bad weather — but outlandish beauty in exchange. And pure solitude if you get deep enough. I hoofed it deep into Colorado’s Gore Range just past the peak of the fall colors. Cold, wet, and worth it. 　　Outdoor Vitals’ overhauled...

　　The long-running battle over corner-crossing access to public land has reached its end, at least for now. On Oct. 20, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal of a Wyoming landowner who sought to overturn a lower-court decision that favored public-land hunters. 　　With that decision, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ March ruling now stands, setting a major...
