Maximum Flotation, Minimal Compromise for Paddling Big Water: Astral Indus PFD Review

　　After scouting the whole gorge a few hundred feet below us, we committed. As we looked downstream on the Stehekin River toward the final crux rapid, made up of three high-volume, dynamic recirculating holes, we knew there was no turning back. 　　Both of us were ready: wearing all 22 pounds of flotation packed into the newAstral Indus PFD— but even...

　　If youve spent any amount of time on a body of water, chances are youve found sunken, destroyed sunglasses.

Perfect for Everyday Exploring, Not Hardcore Hiking: Teva Original Universal Sandal Review

　　I’ve long been a Chaco sandal gal, but sometimes they feel a little technical for everyday use. Searching for something a little lighter and less clunky for a road trip recently, I rediscovered the Teva Original Universal Sandal. I rocked a pair of Tevas as a kid in the 90s, and it turns out they’re still in style! 　　Whether I...

Worthy of a Cult Following: Kizer Drop Bear Review

　　Knives are seasonal for me. I tend to carry heavier, bulkier knives in the colder months and lighter knives in the spring and summer. This owes partly to the fact that 10 years ago, lightweight knives were generally meant for light duty. 　　But now with advances in materials and manufacturing, lightweight knives have become more capable than ever. 　　When I...

Race-Ready, Barely Bounces, Conquers Comfort: The North Face Summit Series Run Vest 5 Review

　　By mid-June, it dawned on me like it does every year — summer is hotter than ever. As sweat poured down my face and I caught my breath at the top of a dusty trail climb, I was thankful to have two soft flask water bottles along for the run. I can’t get away with skimping on water like I...

　　Land Rover wants to make the Defender Octa even meaner. The 626-horsepower twin-turbo V8, raised air suspension, and 2.7-inch-wider track might have you feeling supersonic, but they just werent enough to help make it the toughest, most capable, and most luxurious Defender. What is an off-road company to do to make its top-spec SUV tougher? 　　Create the 2026 Defender Octa...
