Two Women Met on a Gucci Photo Shoot: Now They Have a Hiking Brand
  When she was exhausted and burned out from a demanding job, Chelsea Rizzo did what many outdoorsy folks do: She planned a thru-hike. Rizzo was all set to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, with permits in hand, when her friend Theresa Navarro said they should do something even more adventurous: Start an outdoor clothing brand for women.    The duo, both...
Where Most Tents Fail, This Tarp Hunkers Down: SlingFin Cinder Cone Review
  Some years ago, in a pandemic-fueled frenzy, I dragged out my pyramid tarp shelter for some surgery. I wasn’t happy with a few aspects, but the main ask was for adjustable tensioners at the corners and mid-panel tie-outs for stiff winds. I’m no seamster, but the final product wasn’t half bad — at the expense of my sanity.   I now...
Sleek Design, Mega Power, and a Few Novel Ideas: 2026 Polestar 4 Review
  As I sink into the driver’s seat and adjust the rear-view mirror, I only see the back seat, no window to view the rear of the car. But flip the lever at the base of the mirror and transform it into an illuminated screen showing a clear, zoomed-in view of what’s behind.   I put it in reverse, and the 15.4-inch...
I Took the Off-Road Course Honda Gives Its Engineers: Here’s What I Learned
  For the second time ever, last month I flew to North Carolina to do some off-roading in the gritty southern mud.

  In many ways, Kim Knor is a typical grandma. She moved to be closer to her kids, and loves taking care of and spending time with her grandchildren. Sometimes, however, spending time with her family means jumping out of a plane with them.   Knor began skydiving at a young age, and picked up the sport again later in life. On...
Massive Jeep Recall Prompts ‘Park Outside’ Warning: Fire Risk Impacts 320,000 Hybrid SUVs

I Lived in This Merino Tee for 30 Days and It Never Quit: Ibex Naturalist Merino Wool Tee Review
  The funk really started to set in around week three, which, all things considered, surprised the hell out of me. I wore the Ibex Naturalist Short Sleeve Crew for an entire month this fall in a quasi-masochist endeavor to understand merino wool better, and despite some protest from my better half, it went a lot better than expected.   Merino wool...

More Power, No Emissions: Toyota Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept Debuts at SEMA
