Now that March has brought an extra hour of daylight to our evenings, it no longer seems too early to begin thinking about summer. Who cares that winter isn’t over or that spring hasn’t even officially started? The folks who make outdoor gear certainly don’t because they recently revealed a heaps of stuff for camping, hiking and general outdoor living. (Okay, there are some late-breaking winter things here too.)
Jetboil made its most compact stove yet, with each component nesting inside a 0.8-liter pot like a family of Russian dolls that can heat water for your dehydrated beef stroganoff.
One of two inaugural hikers from the storied retailer and gear maker, this one features a number of REI-exclusive technologies to maximize breathability, water resistance and grip.
Hunting outfitter Stika’s new rainwear is lightweight, durable and breathable thanks to Gore-Tex C-Knit — and it comes in solid colors as well as camo.
OnX rejiggered its GPS app for hunting and off-roading so that hikers, skiers, trail runners and more can navigate the backcountry safely and with ease.
Db is applying the same roll-and-cinch format that makes its ski bags some of the best available to surfboard protection. The Shelter and Bunker are fit for single- or multi-board travel, have a pocket for fins and leashes, and roll up small to fit in a closet when you’re surfing your home break.
Pro skier Candide Thovex’s new outerwear brand is one of the few things that has us wishing winter wasn’t nearing its end. (Unfamiliar with Thovex? Watch this video ASAP.)
Stanley’s newest travel mug makes a bold promise that it’ll never leak, thanks to its three-piece lid. That, combined with a fabric handle, lets you unceremoniously shove your tea into your bag without worrying about its other contents.
Saxx is bringing the comfort of its boxers and briefs to a pair of boardies. The critical feature here is the company’s BallPark Pouch, which is exactly what you think it is.
This 288-page ode to the women of snowboarding is filled with photos, each worthy of its own frame, and stories from the sport’s often-unsung athlete set.
Dressed up in one of climber and photographer Renan Ozturk‘s mountain paintings, this splitboard might be more worthy of mounting on a wall than stashing in a garage during the off-season.
66°North’s new capsule screams vintage thanks to nineties-inspired patterns, but the Icelandic outerwear brand built it using Polartec NeoShell and fleece fabric scraps from other pieces in its collection.
Stasher’s microwaveable, dishwasher-safe silicone pouches handily replace plastic baggies, but its newest one aims to add to your EDC. It’s waterproof with a locking lip and includes a mini carabiner to attach to your pack.
When there’s no room in your backpack for a camp chair, consider the butt pad. Nemo did, and it used reclaimed foam scraps from sleeping pad production to make one that’s lightweight, packable and one-of-a-kind.
For days when all you can imagine is the solitude of the water, consider Alpacka’s latest one-person raft. It works for weeks, too, actually, since there’s enough room for you and your gear (or dog).
