Midland Adds Repeater Access to Its Flagship Walkie: Midland GXT67 Pro Radio Review

　　“How about now?” 15 miles is a long distance for most walkie-talkies, but my voice was still coming in clear, transmitting from the Midland GXT67 Pro. Granted, this radio isn’t just any walkie-talkie, but a repeater-capable GMRS unit, and by leveraging a little radio know-how, it was booming over the heads of lesser handhelds. 　　The GXT67 Pro is the top...

Pocket Knife Upstart Aims to Solve One Tricky EDC Problem

　　As a knife collector and nerd, I own somewhere around 100 pocket knives. Yeah, its a bit of a problem. But that also means there arent many designs I havent personally seen before.

The Pants That Changed My Fishing Wardrobe: Magellan Outdoors Men’s Pro Angler Joggers Review

　　If you had told me a year ago that my favorite pair of pants would be joggers, I would have laughed in your face. I would have found it even more ridiculous if you told me that I would be wearing them while fishing. Joggers bring to mind lazy Saturday mornings, grabbing coffee in Suburbia. Not outdoor pursuits. 　　However, my...

Same Impact, Different Trigger: Evolution Shadow Thumb Release Review

　　When I was coming up as a new bowhunter, the standard release everyone was given was an index-style release aid. It was the easiest transition from gun hunting to bowhunting. Fast forward to the present day, and I’d argue that the standard is slowly moving toward handheld releases. 　　More specifically, a thumb release. They offer a natural, open-handed feel at...

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...

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...

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...
