Perfect for two, the Baja is its lightest Tepui rooftop camping tent to date. The A-frame Ayer has no-see-um mosquito netting, head room with large side windows for soaking up the views, and an interchangeable canopy. Mesh for hot and humid weather (and star gazing); lightweight nylon rip-stop for the spring; and an aluminized canopy for use in wilder weather. Oh yeah, and that 2.5-inch high-density foam mattress is great. More Info / Buy Now

Tank-7 ($129-$179)
Native eyewear recently launched snow sports goggles in addition to its sunglasses selection, and we approve. The Tank-7 is a smaller frame in the lineup (nicely sized for a woman’s face) and the SnowTune React Rose lens is clutch for variant light conditions. It has a wide range of 10- to 35-percent VLT (visible light transmission) meaning it’s excellent for flat light conditions and partially cloudy days. More Info / Buy Now

Ohm ($129.95)
Problem: Lead climber falls, and belayer catapults off the ground. Solution: Add the Edelrid Ohm assisted-braking device to the first bolt and now the lead climber can weigh twice as much as the belayer. Best for when she’s instructing students, climbing at the gym (read: vertical and with limited natural friction), and partnering-up to belay with a big weight gap. Buy on Backcountry.com December 1st, or buy in retail January 1st. More Info

Layla ($139.95)
This PFD makes a woman wonder how she ever wore a guy-tailored vest in the first place. Designed by Astral, the shape conforms to fit a female’s curves, due to the soft-and-stretchy “princess seams and boob cups.” The Layla also uses organic Kapok: a sustainable, buoyant plant fiber that comes from the seedpod of the kapok tree.
