Z Lite
$46.95
Description

  A backpacking icon, the original Z Lite closed-cell foam sleeping pad is ultralight, virtually indestructible, and highly compact. Molded into a system of heat-trapping dimples, the proprietary foams are softer on top of the pad for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for boosted durability. The accordion-style design allows the Z Lite to be unfurled into a sleeping pad, folded into a convenient seat, or even used a mosquito swatter. With its legendary versatility, there’s a reason so many packs on the trail have a Z Lite strapped on.

  Water bottle shown for scale; not included.

Comfortable Pack Puts Safety Up Front: Gregory Paragon 60 Backpack Review
  As I ascended the trail in Northern Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, day hikers flowed past me heading back to the trailhead in the late afternoon sun. My group forged ahead into the backcountry for the night. On my back, the newly designed Gregory Paragon lightweight backpack held all of my gear comfortably as I climbed.   The Paragon is designed for backpackers seeking...

Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Public Land Sales in Budget Bill
  In a major development for public land advocates, the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, has ruled that a proposal to sell off federal land cannot be included in the GOP-backed budget reconciliation package.   The decision effectively blocked Senator Mike Lee’s plan to privatize up to 3 million acres of public land as part of the party’s housing initiative, for now.   ...
Orvis Slashes Another 4% of Staff, Cites Trump Tariffs
  Last Wednesday, Simon Perkins, the president of Orvis, announced that the company would reduce its workforce by 4% by the end of 2025. This is the company’s second round of layoffs in less than a year.    Previous Cuts, Closed Stores, and a Shift From Print In October 2024, Perkins issued a similar statement, informing the public that the fly fishing company...
Sky-High Ceiling, Down-to-Earth Comfort: NEMO Aurora Highrise 4 Tent Review
  It’s embarrassing how many tents I have tucked away in our garage. So much so, I’m pretty sure I got an eye roll from my partner when the NEMO Aurora Highrise 4 showed up. In my defense, it’s hard to purge our stash of tents, with some feeling like part of the family, like my parents’ old center-pole Kelty, and...
Should ‘Negligent, Reckless’ Hikers Pay for Rescue? WA Sheriff Eyes SAR Fees
  Unprepared hikers are getting stranded and injured in unprecedented numbers in Skamania County, Wash., and the sheriff has had enough. Now, Sheriff Summer Scheyer is advocating for an ordinance that would fine negligent or reckless hikers who require search and rescue (SAR).   Were not in the business of billing people per se, but I do want some type of deterrent,...
See What’s Next: Top Outdoor Gear From Debut ‘Switchback’ Event
  No longer a subevent within The Running Event, Switchback officially opened its doors to brands, retailers, and media for its first-ever standalone outdoor trade show.   While it was nowhere near the grandeur or size of the halcyon days of Outdoor Retailer, Switchback evoked much of the same buzz and anticipation that long rallied the industry into one place. Speakers, seminars,...
Opinion: Rebranded but Still Rotten, Sen. Mike Lee Updates His Public Land Sell-Off
  Senator Mike Lee is backpedaling sort of.   After proposing a sell-off of 3 million acres of public land, he was met with a massive backlash from hunters, anglers, ranchers, and public land users across the country.   The Senate parliamentarian dealt him another blow, ruling that public land sales can’t be included in the reconciliation package he planned to use to...
Trump Admin Removes Logging Protections From 58 Million Acres of National Forest
  Another Trump administration proposal is taking aim at public lands — this time through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.   In a Monday announcement, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said she would rescind the Roadless Rule, which protects 58.5 million acres of national forests from road construction, logging, and other resource development.   Initially passed in the Clinton administration in 2001,...

Robotically Crafted Spray-On Super Shoes: Cloudboom Strike LS Review
  The origin story for On’s LightSpray technology seems tailor-made for Hollywood (cue the Damon and Affleck script). It all started on Halloween several years ago, when Johannes Voelchert, the senior lead of innovation technology design for Swiss brand On, watched his kid use a hot glue gun to make a costume. Marveling at how quickly the liquid turned solid, Voelchert...
Retro-Chic Ski Goggles for Spring Laps: Vallon Freebirds Review
  It was a scorcher in Vail’s back bowls. Without a cloud, the snow softened to perfect corn. I enjoyed uninhibited turns for thousands of vertical feet. While those conditions are my favorite, the blasting sun and snow reflection demand solid eye protection. Thankfully, I was testing the Vallon Freebirds ski goggles — alongside a heavy layer of sunscreen.   The lens...
