Kelty Daydreamer 4P

Getting up at the crack of dawn to see the sunrise sounds glorious…except when it doesn’t. The truth is not everyone is an early riser at least not every morning, and the Daydreamer is the perfect…

NEMO Stargaze EVO-X

If we had any complaints about the original Stargaze reclining chair, it was that it required a little (not a lot) of energy to assemble. Enter the Stargaze EVO-X with its durable steel folding X frame…

Therm-a-Rest Boost 650 32 Degree

Well, here’s a whole new take on versatility. We’ve seen shape-changing bags before, but the Boost has its own innovative approach with a vertical WarmZip that adjusts the internal volume of the bag and lets you…

MSR Hubba Hubba LT 2P

In the early 2000s the Hubba Hubba tent brought about a paradigm shift with its combination of lighweight construction, durability, AND interior livability that didn’t ask backpackers to choose which of those factors they valued most.…

Marmot Crane Creek 3P

Hard not to notice that the price of everything has gone up over the last few years and tents weren’t immune to those increases. But that doesn’t mean that you have to shell out $500 to…

Jetboil Flash 1.0L

Twenty years ago, the original Jetboil stove arrived on the scene and truly revolutionized the category of canister stoves with astoundingly fast boil times in an efficiently nested all-in-one system. Fast forward to today and the…

Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft

Backpacking just got significantly more comfortable thanks to the NeoLoft! When you first see it inflated, it seems hard to believe that it compresses small enough to fit in your pack, but it does. Its stretch…

Kelty Kush Air Bed

You could pay a fortune for an inflatable air bed but why? The Kush has a budget-friendly price but the comfort and value it provides is a big step up from what you’ll find at big…

Exped MegaMat Ultra

Plush MegaMats have been a camping go-to for our team of Gear Specialists for a long time, but those are far too big and bulky to throw in a pack and haul into the backcountry. This…

Big Agnes Campmeister Deluxe Insulated

Its name might sound playful, but this inflatable sleeping pad is all business! It has a super burly exterior and premium PrimaLoft Silver insulation and a reflective barrier that equip it for use in all 4…

Sea to Summit Hamelin 15 Degree

There’s so much versatility and value built into the Hamelin. It has a 3-season worthy temperature rating and its synthetic insulation and roomy but still thermally-efficient cut hit a split-the-difference sweet spot on weight, packability, and…

NEMO Soul 15/25 Degree Endless Promise

When we hear the word “ultralight” associated with a sleeping bag, we immediately think “down insulation” and expect that the bag will come with some compromise on water-resistance. That’s not the case with the Soul, however.…

Marmot Mad River 15 Degree

Marmot has a long history of designing performance-oriented, lightweight, and highly-compressible down-insulated sleeping bags and the Mad River continues that legacy. Purpose-built for 3-season backpacking, the bag has a thermally-efficient mummy-cut with water-resistant 650-fill down insulation…
