Jason Hummel is a leading adventure photographer and ski mountaineer based in Tacoma, Washington. He authored Alpine State of Mind, a beautifully presented book of adventure stories and Sarah Uhl: Artist, Activist, and Joy Evangelist. Sarah Uhl calls herself an artist, activist, and joy evangelist. DAY HIKING CHECKLIST FOR 2021 The 3-ounce Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter is an excellent option for day hikes—just collect water in a plastic bottle or one of the included pouches, and squeeze it into your mouth. Further, we prefer to always store a few backup tabs of Aquamira in our pack just in case the need arises. 13. Navigation. BEST ROOFTOP TENTS OF 2021 Rooftop tents are having a moment in 2021, and it’s easy to see why. Rather than having to meticulously stake out and assemble your tent and sleep system once you arrive at camp, rooftop designs pop up or fold out from the top of your vehicle and come equipped with comfortable mattresses for a good night’s sleep. BEST GRAVEL BIKES OF 2021 Further, Cannondale’s lifetime frame warranty is more impressive than Canyon’s six years. But the Grail AL 6 is a solid value nevertheless, which is one of the biggest perks of buying consumer-direct. See the Canyon Grail AL 6. 7. Specialized Diverge Comp Carbon ($3,900) Frame: Carbon. BEST ROOFTOP CARGO BOXES OF 2021 1. Thule Motion XT XL ($780) What we like: The best all-around combination of quality, features, and ease of use. What we don’t: Relatively pricey and not available in smaller sizes. If you’re in the market for a rooftop cargo box, there’s no shortage of high-quality options to choose from in 2021. BEST COOLERS AND ICE CHESTS OF 2021 Yeti Roadie 24 ($200) What we like: Much better ice retention than soft-sided coolers like the Yeti Hopper BackFlip above. What we don’t: Pricey for such a small cooler. Backpack-style coolers like the Yeti Hopper BackFlip above work well in terms of portability, but ice stays cold much longer in SLEEPING BAGS VS. QUILTS 7. Price: Quilts. Given that they’re made with fewer materials (including fabric, hoods, and zippers), you’d expect quilts to be slightly cheaper than sleeping bags—and in general, they are. In fact, the average sleeping bag on our list of top picks is $370, whereas the average quilt is $324. BEST SOFTSHELL JACKETS OF 2021 Best Overall Softshell Jacket. 1. Arc’teryx Gamma LT Hoody ($249) Category: Performance/casual. Weight: 1 lb. 3.2 oz. What we like: Arc’teryx fit, quality, and all-around performance. What we don’t: Trim fit means you can’t layer much underneath. SALOMON X ULTRA 4 MID GTX HIKING BOOT REVIEW That said, the Salomon wins out in weight by 6 ounces per pair, has a more modern and athletic feel, and uses more premium materials. The Moab will save you a considerable $30 (and the sell a non-waterproof variation), but the X Ultra 4 is the more well-rounded option. Another lightweight hiker to consider is Danner’s Trail 2650 Mid GTX. REI CO-OP FLASH AIR 2 TENT REVIEW Performance Weight and Packed Size. With a packaged weight of 2 pounds 8.2 ounces on our scale (0.2 ounces more than what’s listed), the REI Co-op Flash Air 2 qualifies as a proper ultralight design. And if you hike with trekking poles, you can trim away another 3.4 ounces by using them in place of the included straight tent poles.SWITCHBACK TRAVEL

And if you hike with trekking poles, you can trim away another 3.4 ounces by using them in place of the included straight tent poles. BEST GPS WATCHES OF 2021 Despite their diminutive size, GPS watches can really pack a punch. These modern timepieces put the power of a GPS device onto your wrist, allowing you to track your movements, follow a preloaded route, or even navigate complex terrain—hands-free. BEST BACKPACKING MEALS OF 2021 Heather takes care in putting together her meals, using high-powered foods such as coconut, maple syrup, wild-caught Alaskan Sockeye salmon, and 100-percent grass-fed bison and elk. Impressively, many of the dinner options contain a whopping 40 grams of protein per serving and average out to 125 calories per ounce. BEST CAMPING TENTS OF 2021 Spacious, user-friendly, and feature-rich, camping tents are made for a relatively luxurious experience in the outdoors. Many of these behemoths offer enough room to set up cots or even chairs and a table for card games on a rainy day. BEST RUNNING SHOES OF 2021 Best Overall Running Shoe 1. Hoka One One Clifton 7 ($130) Category: Daily training Weight per pair: 1 lb. 1.4 oz. Cushioning: 29mm (heel)/24mm (forefoot) What we like: Very comfortable, durable, and versatile. What we don’t: A little lacking in responsiveness for short-distance races. Since its launch a decade ago, Hoka One One has experienced a meteoric rise from polarizing “clown shoes BEST CAMPING MATTRESSES AND PADS OF 2021 Below are the best camping mattresses and pads of 2021, ranging from versatile self-inflating mats and air pads to luxurious air beds and cots. For background information, see our comparison table and buying advice. And to complete your camping kit, we’ve also tested and written about camping tents and sleeping bags. BEST TRAIL RUNNING SHOES OF 2021 Best Overall Trail Running Shoe 1. Hoka One One Speedgoat 4 ($145) Category: All-around/rugged trails Weight: 1 lb. 5.6 oz. Cushioning: Maximum Drop: 4mm What we like: Standout comfort and traction in a lightweight package. What we don’t: Thick midsole minimizes trail feel in technical sections. Hoka One One may have built their reputation around soft, heavily cushioned road BEST MOUNTAIN BIKE HELMETS OF 2021 Bontrager’s Solstice is our top budget helmet, combining MIPS technology and modern styling at a price that significantly undercuts the picks above. For $65, you get the aforementioned slip plane liner, surprisingly good ventilation from 17 total openings, and a simple but effective twist-style adjuster at the back. BEST SOFTSHELL JACKETS OF 2021 Best Overall Softshell Jacket. 1. Arc’teryx Gamma LT Hoody ($249) Category: Performance/casual. Weight: 1 lb. 3.2 oz. What we like: Arc’teryx fit, quality, and all-around performance. What we don’t: Trim fit means you can’t layer much underneath. BEST HIKING PANTS OF 2021 In addition to nylon hiking pants, there are a few softshell pants on this list such as the Arc’teryx Gamma LT, REI Co-op Activator, and Outdoor Research Cirque II. These essentially are tougher and more weather-resistant pants that are ideal for alpine SALOMON X ULTRA 4 GTX HIKING SHOE REVIEW The Competition. Salomon’s X Ultra 4 certainly is a standout in the hiking shoe market, but there are a number of other lightweight competitors to choose from.Within Salomon’s own lineup, their X Raise GTX is another nimble low-top hiker to consider. Compared to the X Ultra, the X Raise is a few ounces lighter at 1 pound 7.6 ounces, more flexible and softer underfoot, and costs $20 less atSWITCHBACK TRAVEL

The good news is that there is no shortage of quality options from brands like MSR, Atlas, Tubbs, TSL, and more. For more background information, see our snowshoe comparison table and BEST ROOFTOP CARGO BOXES OF 2021 1.

For $65, you get the aforementioned slip plane liner, surprisingly good ventilation from 17 total openings, and a simple but effective twist-style adjuster at the back. BEST RAIN JACKETS OF 2021 Category: Performance/hiking. Waterproofing: 3L Gore-Tex. What we like: Strong combination of weight, breathability, and comfort. What we don’t: The priciest rain jacket on our list at $399. Blurring the lines between hardshell and rain jacket categories is Arc’teryx’smid-range Beta LT.
SLEEPING BAGS VS. QUILTS 7. Price: Quilts. Given that they’re made with fewer materials (including fabric, hoods, and zippers), you’d expect quilts to be slightly cheaper than sleeping bags—and in general, they are. In fact, the average sleeping bag on our list of top picks is $370, whereas the average quilt is $324. DO YOU NEED WATERPROOF HIKING SHOES? A waterproof shoe will almost always cost and weigh more than its non-waterproof counterpart. Let’s take, for instance, the Salomon X Ultra 4—a light, decently flexible hiking shoe. The Gore-Tex version retails for $150 and weighs 1 pound 11.5 ounces per pair, while the non-waterproof model shaves off $30 and around 2 ounces per pair. SLEEPING PAD R-VALUE EXPLAINED As we mentioned above, a few other factors will help dictate what R-value you need, including your sleeping position and surface. Sleeping on your back more evenly distributes your weight, while side sleepers might not get the most out of their pad’s R-value (if this sounds like you, a substantial, thick pad like the Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated is a good option).SWITCHBACK TRAVEL

BEST SKIS FOR BEGINNERS OF 2021 You can save $50 or more with some of the true entry-level models below (and Rossi does offer a more basic Experience 74 for $400), but the higher performance ceiling of the Experience 76 earns it our top spot for 2021.

DAY HIKING CHECKLIST FOR 2021 The 3-ounce Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter is an excellent option for day hikes—just collect water in a plastic bottle or one of the included pouches, and squeeze it into your mouth. Further, we prefer to always store a few backup tabs of Aquamira in our pack just in case the need arises. 13. Navigation. BEST HIKING SHOES OF 2021 1. Salomon X Ultra 3 GTX ($150) What we like: Great mix of lightness, on-trail performance, and durability. What we don’t: Gore-Tex model runs warm. The Salomon X Ultra 3 is our top hiking shoe for 2021, combining a feathery feel with impressive on-trail performance. BEST MOUNTAIN BIKE SHOES OF 2021 Weight: 1 lb. 7.8 oz. What we like: Lighter, stiffer, and sleeker-looking than the Freerider above. What we don’t: Its outsole still wears out as quickly as the $50-cheaper standard model. As the name indicates, Five Ten’s Freerider Pro is an upgraded variation of the popular Freerider shoe. SALOMON X ULTRA 4 GTX HIKING SHOE REVIEW The Competition. Salomon’s X Ultra 4 certainly is a standout in the hiking shoe market, but there are a number of other lightweight competitors to choose from.Within Salomon’s own lineup, their X Raise GTX is another nimble low-top hiker to consider. Compared to the X Ultra, the X Raise is a few ounces lighter at 1 pound 7.6 ounces, more flexible and softer underfoot, and costs $20 less at SLEEPING PAD R-VALUE EXPLAINED As we mentioned above, a few other factors will help dictate what R-value you need, including your sleeping position and surface. Sleeping on your back more evenly distributes your weight, while side sleepers might not get the most out of their pad’s R-value (if this sounds like you, a substantial, thick pad like the Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated is a good option). BEST INFLATABLE STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS (SUPS) OF 2021 What we don’t: Multi-use intentions mean it’s not the fastest or most stable board on this list. For the best combination of quality, affordability, and convenience, the iRocker All-Around tops our list of inflatable stand up paddle boards for 2021. In short, the All-Around is the full package for those just getting started: you geta
SLEEPING BAG TEMPERATURE RATINGS EXPLAINED For winter camping and mountaineering (below 20 degrees Fahrenheit), a true winter bag is a necessity. The appropriate temperature rating for cold-weather adventures depends on the conditions, but expedition bags can run all the way down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Summer/low-elevation sleeping bags: 32°F and above. 27.5 VS. 29ER MOUNTAIN BIKES Not long ago, mountain bikers didn’t have a choice when it came to wheel sizes—26 inches was pretty much the only option. But once 29- and 27.5-inch wheels hit the market, the debate amongst bikers took off and has continued ever since. 29ers, once reserved for taller riders and cross-country racing, have since evolved to fit smaller frames, while 27.5 mountain bikes have never lookedSWITCHBACK TRAVEL

Cushioning: 29mm (heel)/24mm (forefoot) What we like: Very comfortable, durable, and versatile. What we don’t: A little lacking in responsiveness for short-distance races.

DO YOU NEED WATERPROOF HIKING SHOES? We get this question a lot: Do your hiking shoes or boots need to be waterproof, or can you do without? Hikers and backpackers fall on both ends of the spectrum: some prefer the unparalleled breathability of non-waterproof footwear, while others prioritize protection against the elements and don’t mind the sacrifices. 27.5 VS. 29ER MOUNTAIN BIKES Not long ago, mountain bikers didn’t have a choice when it came to wheel sizes—26 inches was pretty much the only option.

SALOMON X ULTRA 4 MID GTX HIKING BOOT REVIEW The Competition. Salomon’s X Ultra line has been at the top of our hiking boot round-up for years, and the latest version carries the torch with an excellent balance of weight, comfort, and durability. However, there is no shortage of competition in 2021, and Merrell’s Moab 2 Mid WP remains a popular pick year after year. Stacked up against the Salomon, the Moab 2 offers more generous all WEATHER-SEALED MIRRORLESS CAMERAS: A COMPLETE LIST For photographers who frequently shoot outdoors, weather sealing is a must. It protects your expensive camera gear, takes away much of the worry, and allows you to keep shooting when others have to pack it in. Below is a complete list of weather-sealed YAKIMA DR.TRAY REVIEW Yakima has been a key player in the bike rack market since 1979, and the Dr.Tray currently sits at the top of their platform hitch offerings. Fully featured and wrapped up in a class-leading lightweight package, the Dr.Tray was an exciting choice for testingthis past fall.
