Solo Stove Ranger + Stand Elemental Series 1.0
This popular portable fire pit is made from durable stainless steel with a ceramic coating, now available in earth tones to better match the look of your campsite or backyard. The Solo Stove Ranger is 15 inches in diameter and 16.25 inches tall, making it easier to transport than other models. The stand keeps the pit off of dirt or pavement and needs 2 inches of clearance for ventilation.
Patagonia Nano Puff Insulated Jacket — Men’s
The Nano Puff remains an iconic jacket for offering synthetic insulation in a lightweight, packable jacket. It’s suited to true midlayer work in alpine pursuits or on everyday errands. Patagonia’s changes to the jacket have mostly been in making it from more recycled fibers, inside and out, including the 60g PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation and water-repellent-treated shell.
Hestra Wakayama Glove
Hestra’s Wakayama Gloves are made from smooth cowhide to protect your hands from the elements and hold up to use and abuse beyond holding onto ski poles. Inside, a wool blend liner helps hands shed moisture while trapping body heat. Additionally, these gloves have external seams for comfort and a neoprene cuff for keeping snow and cold out.
Backcountry 70L Gear Tote
The Backcountry 70L Gear Tote is for hauling clothes, gear, and loose items for a day trip, a day at the beach, or even a short flight. The tote can open wide to fit helmets, Bluetooth speakers, towels, or goggles. You get the idea, anything goes. The fabric is made from an abrasion-resistant PVC to withstand whatever you throw at it — or in it.
Backcountry Double Ski & Snowboard Rolling Bag
Whether you’re a skier, snowboarder, or dabble in both, this rolling bag can carry your gear. It’s large enough to fit two snowboards or two pairs of skis up to 195cm in length. The roll-top closure lets you size the bag to your gear and avoid excess material. It also comes with oversized roller wheels to help you haul your sticks and planks over bumpy surfaces.
Petzl Tikka Core Headlamp
A modern-day essential for any daypack mission or longer, this compact LED headlamp has a Ni-MH rechargeable battery and weighs 2.5 ounces without backup AAA batteries installed. It casts up to a 65m beam distance at 300 lumens but has several brightness modes for other scenarios.
Black Diamond Apollo Lantern
Black Diamond’s Apollo Lantern is made to hang, or stand, anywhere you need illuminated. At its brightest, the lantern’s QuadPower LED light provides 250 lumens from its nonglare case. Three adjustable legs let you balance the lantern on uneven surfaces while the recessed loop lets you hang it from a branch or tent loop. It also has a battery power indicator light and an adjustable dimming switch.
DeFeet Aireator 6-in. Sock
These 6-inch socks are made to keep you comfortable during long days on the pedals. The recycled polyester materials help wick sweat away from your feet while thinner mesh zones on the top of the foot and toebox aid their breathability.
Stoic Desert Nights Blanket
Stoic put an emphasis on softness with this cotton blanket. Inspired by the brand’s surroundings, designers gave the 55″ x 80″ blanket different southwestern patterns on each side. Bring it along for a touch of added comfort on your next camping trip, but you may find yourself lying under it around the house, too.
Goodr OG Polarized Sunglasses
Goodr OG sunglasses have polarized lenses to protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays. The traditional shape and lightweight materials make these an option for hikes, rides, and daily wear. You get no-nonsense functionality without the specialized flare that looks out of place around town.
Patagonia Powder Town Beanie
Don’t be fooled by the retro designs. This beanie is made to keep your head warm through dumping snow, yet can keep your hairline dry thanks to its synthetic wicking fabric that still insulates when wet.
