Arc'teryx Kyanite Hoody

Need a hardworking midlayer? Take a look at the Kyanite Hoody from Arc’teryx. With an abrasion-resistant outer and four-way-stretch fabric construction, this hoodie is built to move with you. The low-profile ScubaHood provides extra warmth while fitting under a helmet, and the gusseted underarms prevent overheating. It’s great on its own or layered under a shell.

This isn’t just a watch — it’s a wrist-bound solar receiver that stores power to charge other electronics, like your phone. It’s more portable than a battery cell and, oh yeah, it tells time, too. According to the brand, “The purpose of this technology is to provide robust energy harvesting and internet of things (IoT) connectivity in a wearable form.” It could make a great gift for the trendsetter in your life, or get one for yourself.

Like all Altras, it has the FootShape toebox that allows your feet to splay out during activity, which is both comfy and more natural-feeling.

Black Diamond Shell

This jacket pairs waterproof-breathable technology (dubbed “BD.dry”) with a lightweight design (just 8 ounces for a men’s size medium). As our tester noted, “It works best for three-season rock climbing, backpacking, and aerobic sports. It’s not the lightest rain shell on the market, but the excellent mobility and price make it a top choice for that one jacket that never leaves the pack.”

NordicTrack RW900 Rower

Train for big-mountain days and work out smarter with the NordicTrack RW900 Rower. With 26 digital resistance levels, you can make it as challenging or mellow as needed.

From camp lights to trail snacks, you never know what you’ll get. And that’s half the fun. As our tester noted, “They don’t contain old, dated products. GearJunkie has based several reviews on products first discovered through Cairn boxes, and the brand touts that its recent shipments contained first-to-market exclusives.”

Saucony Peregrine 10 GTX Trail Running Shoes

We’ve been using these trail runners for 8 months and have come to appreciate the comfort, traction, and waterproofing of these shoes. The new GORE-TEX Invisible Fit offers a bomber waterproof membrane so they’re great for winter slush and rainy runs alike.

Peak Design Everyday Camera Messenger Bag 2.0

This adaptable messenger bag is perfect for the photographer, commuter, or traveler in your life. The partitioned interior holds a complete DSLR setup, and the weatherproof, padded exterior keeps everything dry and protected. The side pockets allow for easy access, and the adjustable strap makes carrying heavy loads a cinch. Our favorite part, though, is the magnetic clasp and ladder closure system.

Salewa Wildfire Technical Approach Shoe

The Wildfire is described by Salewa as a technical approach shoe. The Wildfires are equipped with a versatile POMOCA sole for grip, traction, and sure-footed climbing precision on technical mountain approaches, scrambles, traverses, and easy climbs.

We hiked to the Lower Saddle and climbed a portion of the Grand Teton in these shoes and loved every minute!
