We received more than 240 product submissions for our semiannual roundup of next season’s hottest gear and, based on the mix, it鈥檚 clear the outdoors is only becoming more inclusive, sustainable, and experimental with each passing year.

With the recent outdoor boom showing no signs of slowing, brands are now developing products better suited to a wider user base without diverting attention from more specialized gear for experienced adventurers. Our team of staffers, gear testers, and retailers helped narrow down the picks to the top 50 most anticipated products of Spring/Summer 2023, ranked in order of stoke. (All available in men’s and women’s, or unisex, unless indicated.)

1. Pale Blue Earth Rechargeable Smart Batteries ($30, 4-Pack of AA)

The Promise: Americans throw away 10 million disposable batteries every day. These help alter that dirty trend.

The Deets: You鈥檝e heard of rechargeable batteries, but these smart batteries charge five times faster than other models (within two hours), and the lifecycle of each one can replace up to 1,000 disposable alkaline batteries. Each battery has its own micro USB port and can charge via wall outlet, computer, or power bank. Ultralighters will love the weight, too: nearly 40 percent lighter than disposable batteries.

2. Nemo Forte Endless Promise ($180-$240)

The Promise: Conscious consumers will appreciate the sustainability promise of this bag series.

The Deets: The updated versions of these sleeping bags (20- and 35-degree) are zero-waste all the way from production to end-of-life. Made with all Bluesign-approved materials, the shell and liner are 100 percent recycled fabrics and the insulation is post-consumer recycled PrimaLoft synthetics. And because 95 percent of the bag is made from a single polyester polymer, it can be recycled at the end of its life. If it can鈥檛 be repaired or recommerced, customers receive a $20 credit toward new Nemo gear.

3. Outdoor Research SuperStrand LT Hoodie ($220)

The Promise: This ultralight synthetic layer has properties that beat its down counterpart.

The Deets: Reduced stitching translates to better flowing synthetic insulation under a 12-denier nylon shell, providing four-season warmth. The polyester strands woven throughout mimic the shape of thousands of connected down clusters, promoting high loft and more resistance to compression versus down. Remarkably, the weight stays below 11 ounces.

4. Granite Gear Crown3 60 ($220)

The Promise: A unique structural frame on this pack offers customizable carrying capacity.

The Deets: This 60-liter pack has a standard load carry of 35 pounds, but it can be adjusted from 25 to 43 pounds. The compression-molded polyethylene frame sheet has an add-on U-shaped aluminum stay (sold separately) that integrates seamlessly into the suspension system. A fully removable dual sternum strap system provides a secondary hug over the chest. Eco bonus: there鈥檚 an undyed color option, and by skipping the color dying process for the fabrics, hardware, and webbing, the pack鈥檚 water waste drops by 55 percent.

5. Oboz Katabatic Mid B-Dry ($170)

The Promise: This mid-height waterproof shoe performs like a trail runner, but is meant for fast hiking.

The Deets: Multi-directional lugs around the perimeter, midfoot, and rear give lateral grip and braking ability for purchase on the toughest terrain, even under the weight of a pack. The welded TPU heel cup and toe wrap the foot for stability and protection, all with a weight of under one pound per shoe.

6. Alpacka Raft Refuge ($1,275)

The Promise: Stay comfortable and dry through rough waters for multiple weeks.

The Deets: The whitewater deck and cargo fly鈥攁long with the six grab loops on the bow and stern鈥攁llow for secure storage of gear while tackling Class III rapids. The 7-foot boat cinches down to 15 by seven inches and under six pounds for transport.

7. Grand Trunk Evolution 20 Down Hammock ($300)

The Promise: Stop hassling with over-quilts and under-quilts.

The Deets: This complete system integrates a 650-fill, 20-degree down sleeping bag with a hammock, all at under two pounds. The 40-denier nylon fabric is DWR-treated and breathable to battle the weather.

8. Artilect Exposure Hoodie ($160)

The Promise: We thought we鈥檇 seen everything, but this layer is (literally) bananas.

The Deets: Combining merino and nylon with 30 percent banana fiber鈥攁 renewable byproduct of banana farming鈥攎akes for noteworthy durability. The 18-micron merino wool delivers that soft and cozy feel, with an added benefit of full-density coverage with UPF 50+ UV protection and a fitted hood.

9. Bern Hudson Helmet ($140)

The Promise: Be more visible on night rides from all angles.

The Deets: Three settings on the integrated and rechargeable rear LED light (6.6 lumens) offer better visibility, while the helmet鈥檚 MIPS technology beefs up the layer of protection by absorbing and redirecting impacts. Bonus: brain protection doesn鈥檛 need to be hot or heavy; the helmet weighs less than a pound and 13 vents keep the noggin cool.

10. Milo the Action Communication ($249)

The Promise: Works like a walkie talkie, only better.

The Deets: Keep a spread-out group on the slopes, water, or trails in verbal communication with these hands-free, waterproof, lightweight radios. No need to push a button to talk; multiple voices can be transmitted simultaneously and clearly, even in windy conditions. Clip the device to a pocket, collar, or backpack鈥攐r pair with a bluetooth headset for even more convenience.

11. Namuk Eon Backpack 14L ($120)

The Promise: With textile fibers 15 times stronger than steel, this kid鈥檚 pack is practically indestructible.

The Deets: Aside from being highly durable thanks to a polyethylene with ultra high molecular weight, the fabric is DWR-treated and completely waterproof. The inner lining pulls out for a sit pad in the backcountry, and for cleaning. The 14-liter rucksack has a rolltop closure with reflective drawcords to compress.

12. Norrona Senja Gore-Tex Active Jacket ($549)

The Promise: This shell鈥檚 breathability and weatherproofing strike the perfect balance.

The Deets: Besides the normal zippered pit openings, a mesh layer on the upper back makes this jacket highly breathable. At the same time, the main face fabric is 20-denier nylon with laminated Gore-Tex Pro waterproofing and durability. At ten ounces, it鈥檚 lightweight enough for trail running, but protective enough for mountain climbing.

13. Lacaida “The Lincoln” Rope ($189-$339)

The Promise: Rappelling was never safer before this metered rope.

The Deets: With markings at the midpoint and at each meter, this rope gives climbers more information about how high they are while rappelling and putting up first ascents. The markings appear in block font and are legible up to 20 feet away. Available in five lengths.

14. Oru Kayak Lake ($700)

The Promise: This is the lightest and most affordable kayak in the Oru series.

The Deets: Still using the origami boat design, this kayak can be assembled in under two minutes, as it has only two loose parts鈥攈alf as many as other Oru models. It also weighs about 18 pounds, making it the lightest non-inflatable kayak on the market. There鈥檚 no skimping on comfort, as the floorboard has an integrated memory foam seat.

15. Gastro Gnome Meals Almond Pesto & Mushroom Ragu Farfalle ($15)

The Promise: It鈥檚 not often a freeze-dried vegetarian meal hits so many high notes.

The Deets: Loaded with chickpea pasta, a pesto made with almonds, asparagus, and mushrooms, this meal satisfies hiker hunger without leaving a gut bomb behind. With one serving of 770 calories, 35 grams of protein, and 37 grams of fat, it鈥檚 a more-than-respectable addition to any trail dinner menu.

16. Helinox Chair Zero Large ($150)

The Promise: A redesign of this popular backpacking chair makes it fit for plus-size adventurers.

The Deets: With inclusivity in mind, the Chair Zero received an update to bear up to 320 pounds, thanks to a combination of the DAC alloy frame (with 7000 series aluminum), a 100-denier polyester seat weaved with synthetic aramid fibers, and nylon resin connector hubs. And it only weighs 1.5 pounds.

17. Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT ($190)

The Promise: No more crunchy chip bags with this pad.

The Deets: With a new temperature technology integrated into the triangular core matrix, the pad is six times quieter than previous versions and has an R-value of 4.5. Adding a half inch of thickness yields three inches of cushion. The twist lock valve also makes inflation three times faster for easier setup.

18. Osprey Exos/Eja Pro 55 ($290)

The Promise: This might be the lightest pack for its volume capacity.

The Deets: Osprey shaved off nearly a pound from its lightest thru hiking pack to offer a model with a 2-pound weight, made even lighter by removing the lid. The pack still offers lots of comfort with a ventilated adjustable suspension system.

19. PurTrek Trek Pole Water Filtration ($190)

The Promise: This trekking pole doubles its practicality with a built-in water filter.

The Deets: An integrated hollow fiber water filter allows hikers to submerge the bottom of the pole in water and drink from the foam handle through a tube. The aluminum poles are both adjustable via a flip lock and collapse to 25 inches for transport with a total weight of around two pounds.

20. Primus Alika Stove ($275)

The Promise: The removable lid feature is now available on a dual-burner stove.

The Deets: Larger pots and pans share the 10,200 BTU burners with no problem thanks to a detachable lid that doubles as a spot for setting hot cookware. A spring-locking mechanism solves the issue of a finicky ignitor, as it keeps the regulator in place.

21. Buff Original EcoStretch Limited Edition Pride Collection ($20)

The Promise: Most people already have a Buff, but this one celebrates inclusivity.

The Deets: Make a statement with Pride Collection Buffs, which promote inclusivity through several original designs by graphic artist Tim Singleton. Sales of these special Buffs鈥攎ade with moisture wicking, quick drying, breathable stretch fabric and boasting UPF 50 sun protection鈥攕upport The Venture Out Project, which promotes outdoor adventure among LGBTQ+ youth.

22. Mountain Hardwear Bridger 6 Tent ($950)

The Promise: With more families hitting campgrounds and public lands, spacious tents are a must.

The Deets: With nearly 90 square feet inside, the livability of this six-person tent is formidable. The additional 95 square feet in the front vestibule act as an outdoor porch for hanging, plus the swinging saloon-style doors make exit and entry easy. In the back of the tent, there鈥檚 an additional gear closet vestibule, but there are also portable gear lockers with six pockets to hang helmets, shoes, and more on the sides of the vestibules.

23. Ortovox Peak 52S / 55L ($280)

The Promise: The technical features of this sub-four-pound pack equip it for year-round mountain sports.

The Deets: The wool in this pack鈥檚 back panel can absorb 30 times more moisture and dry more quickly than the usual foam alternative. The pack鈥檚 full-contact fit sits close to the body for optimal weight distribution and carrying comfort. The seasonal versatility is evident in the multiple attachments for skis, rope, helmets, crampons, and more.

24. Big Agnes Circle Back Pad ($250)

The Promise: This sleeping pad is like a giant hug.

The Deets: Between the large outer chambers and a TPU bladder, this pad is built to cradle anybody鈥檚 shape without the crinkle sound when rolling over. The 4.0 R-value is the result of a layer of Mylar heat-reflective film and a quilted polyester pad cover that is removable and washable.

25. Salomon Sense Ride 5 ($130)

The Promise: Trail running is among the most popular year-round sports, and this shoe stands up to heavy use with a noticably lighter build to bounce comfortably across all surfaces.

The Deets: This nine-ounce runner is engineered with mesh on the upper, keeping it breathable, and a spongy foam for a soft underfoot with forgiving rebound. The rubberized outsole grips all terrain from rough trails to ultra courses.

26. Aurea Technologies Inc. Shine Turbine ($400)

The Promise: Move over, portable solar power kits; on-the-go wind power is here.

The Deets: The renewable energy category now includes a portable wind charger for handheld devices. The charger packs down to the size of a one-liter bottle and weighs three pounds, but more importantly, it offers the most power for its weight of any portable charging device. Setup takes just minutes, and it stands three feet tall and can tolerate winds up to 28 m.p.h. through the night and on rainy days.

27. Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest ($80)

The Promise: Your dog鈥檚 comfort should be as important as yours.

The Deets: Not only does this vest reflect solar radiation off your dog, there鈥檚 wicking and evaporative cooling technology along the back, chest, and belly. The mesh lining next to the dog鈥檚 body keeps Fido comfy. Attach a leash via two connection points, or use the handle for a quick carry.

28. SheFly Apparel Go 国产吃瓜黑料 Leggings ($118, W’s Only)

The Promise: No need to wrestle down leggings for a pee break.

The Deets: SheFly applied its patented zipper technology to leggings for no-fuss bathroom flexibility. The leggings are stretchy with a nylon-spandex build, plus a DWR coating. Four deep pockets on the hips and backside, as well as a zippered front pocket, set these apart from typical leggings.

29. Gnarly Nutrition Performance Greens ($44)

The Promise: This supplement sets a new standard in transparency.

The Deets: Green powder supplements are all the rage, but most people just trust the brand鈥檚 proprietary blends and claims. The label on this powder lists out every single micronutrient. From Vitamin A to zinc, every nutrient offers a healthy portion of (or exceeds) the recommended daily intake.

30. Ombraz Teton ($150)

The Promise: Still boasting the brand鈥檚 revolutionary armless design, these Ombraz are lighter鈥攜et stronger鈥攖han previous versions.

The Deets: Weighing less than an ounce, these scratch-resistant sunnies are made from aerospace-grade nylon鈥攙ersus the more traditional acetate. As with all Ombraz, the armless design is equipped with a marine-grade cord for unshakeable security without pinching hair or causing temple pain.

31. Craft CTM Ultra Trail ($175)

The Promise: High rebound and velocity in a lightweight trail runner.

The Deets: The low stack height of 35 mm puts this shoe in the trail running category, while the drop to 25 mm in the forefoot promotes better acceleration, declaration, and stability on unstable terrain. The foam midsole is intentionally built light, but allows for consistent propulsion and enhanced rebound. The pair barely tips the scale over a pound.

32. Mustang Survival Essentialist Belt Pack ($125)

The Promise: Peace of mind comes in a small package on paddleboard adventures.

The Deets: The inflatable belt pack not only offers nearly 19 pounds of buoyancy when manually activated with a cord, but provides ample storage for essentials with two zippered pockets plus a mesh pocket with a key loop. The wide belt with 3D mesh liner promises breathability and comfort around the waist.

33. Honey Stinger Pumpkin Nut + Seed Bar ($31, Box of 12)

The Promise: No need to break your teeth on a protein bar.

The Deets: The sweet honey, nut butter, and caramel core pairs deliciously with the outer crunch of roasted almonds and pumpkin seeds. Nutritionally, the 14 grams of protein, three antioxidants, and 25 percent daily recommended value of vitamins A, C, and E deserve a nod. The bar also comes in peanut sunflower nut flavor.

34. Acebeam H50 2.0 ($100)

The Promise: This powerful headlamp packs as much brightness as you could possibly need.

The Deets: Thanks to the 125-foot wide-angle spotlight with up to 2,000 lumens, this running and cycling headlamp will light the way in any conditions. It also adjusts down to three lumens for reading, if needed. The weight is very light at roughly two ounces, and the two straps provide a comfortable fit with little forehead stress.

35. Alpen Fuel Cranberry White Chocolate Granola ($7.50)

The Promise: Kickstart your big adventures with this indulgent breakfast.

The Deets: Despite being nut-free and vegetarian, this granola delivers 720 calories and 20 grams of protein, thanks to the delicious ingredient blend of pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seed, cranberries, and white chocolate. Served hot or cold, the gluten-free and low-sodium meal fuels the day with steady energy and no sugar crashes.

36. Two Wheel Gear Alpha Pannier Backpack ($220)

The Promise: This weatherproof backpack converts to a pannier bag in seconds.

The Deets: The reflective 600-denier ripstop polyester can stand up to the worst weather when secured on a bike rack.

37. Tribit MoveBuds H1 ($90)

The Promise: Pop a wheelie and ride the rail without your earbuds budging.

The Deets: You won鈥檛 even notice these featherlight earbuds when they鈥檙e in, but they鈥檒l keep performing no matter where you take them. The stable ear-hang design, antibacterial ear tips, and ability to be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes make them perfect for any outdoor activity. Up to 15 hours of playtime on a single charge, with the charging case extending that to 50+.

38. Appalachian Gear Company Tee Shirt ($90)

The Promise: Pass any multi-day smell test thanks to this workhorse fiber blend.

The Deets: The 80 percent alpaca wool supercharges the durability and warmth of this performance tee, while the 20 percent Tencel fibers keep it airy, light, and antibacterial (fewer bacteria grows on Tencel versus synthetic fibers). Both fibers are sustainably sourced, with the Tencel coming from eucalyptus trees.

39. E-Z Up Wedge Beach & Sport Tent ($99)

The Promise: Stop wrestling with finicky umbrellas that provide too little shade.

The Deets: With one pull in the center, this three-sided shelter pops open to 34 square feet of coverage with a maximum head height of four feet. It can be secured with stakes or by filling the side pockets with sand and rocks. Two windows even roll up for more ventilation. At four pounds, the size and weight matches that of a beach chair.

40. Mountainsmith Cona 45 Backpack ($260)

The Promise: If you like your packs with lots of bells and whistles, this will hit high notes for you.

The Deets: The roll-top entry and the U-shaped zippered panel grants full access to the main compartment from top to bottom, plus the brightly colored liner is waterproof.

42. Klim Override Alloy Jacket ($170, M’s Only)

The Promise: Selective zoning on this midlayer makes it equally insulating and breathable.

The Deets: Midlayers can be sweaty, but the low-bulk grid fleece on the back and under the arms efficiently wicks moisture even while you鈥檙e wearing a backpack. At the same time, the siliconized insulation on the chest and arms ensures wind won鈥檛 chill the body, while the 20-denier stretch nylon keeps it weatherproof.

43. MiiR Pour-Over Kettle ($60)

The Promise: Never scald yourself with boiling water at camp again.

The Deets: The long-angled spout makes for steadier pouring, but it鈥檚 the internal flow reducer that slows down and controls the stream. The side handle is angled to keep hands away from heat while pouring. The 33-ounce stainless steel kettle also has a large analog thermometer for targeting a precise brew temperature.

44. Level Six Ace Sprayskirt ($185)

The Promise: Stop doing battle with spray skirts.

The Deets: A thinner rubber band that is stitched, not glued, and a ribbed cross section translates to superior stretch that makes fitting this sprayskirt on any style of cockpit easy. The thicker neoprene and reinforced kevlar panels equal better abrasion resistance and longevity.

The post Next Season’s Hottest Outdoor Gear appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

Combing through 243 submissions for the coolest gear of Fall/Winter 鈥�22 is not unlike postholing through unconsolidated snow: we spent weeks slogging through specs, photos, videos, and emails with PR reps.

Here鈥檚 what we noticed: gear just keeps getting more innovative鈥攁nd, often, more expensive. Inflation is rising at its fastest pace in a generation, after all. Prices ranged from $2.99 for a hydration mix to $14,500 for a bike. Some categories had a plethora of submissions (we鈥檙e looking at you, shoes and apparel), while others had a dearth (where鈥檚 the ski and snowboard equipment this year?).

With submissions up this year, we needed help making final decisions. We combed through mountains of entries, winnowed the list to 64, and then tapped the opinions of internal editorial staff, a panel of trusted gear testers, and consumers drawn from the pool of 国产吃瓜黑料+ members. Each voter ranked the products on a scale from one (zero interest) to ten (high stoke), and then we tallied the totals to come up with the top 50 picks. To provide some transparency, we鈥檝e indicated the top three picks (according to average scores) among each voting group.

Bottom line: there鈥檚 a ton of exciting new stuff launching this season. Here are the 50 most coveted products, ranked.

1. Rab Mythic Ultra Jacket

Ranked #2 among testers聽

MSRP: $475

The promise: This featherlight puffy retains warmth even on the longest, coldest, and wettest days.

The deets:聽An aluminum-coated lining behind the interior fabric reflects body heat back to skin, while 900-fill, dry-treated goose down (with a hydrophobic finish) keeps out the cold. Offset baffles around the torso trap warmth around the core and provide more mobility through the arms. Even better: it鈥檚 under nine ounces.

Tied for #2 among 国产吃瓜黑料+ members

MSRP: $259

The promise:聽Balance warmth and dexterity with these gloves.

3. Patagonia Sugar Down Hoody

Tied for #2 among 国产吃瓜黑料+ members

MSRP: $329

The promise:聽It鈥檚 a first in the industry: a biobased insulated jacket.

The deets: The 12-denier polyester shell and liner fabric are made from renewable sugarcane fiber instead of petroleum.

Even the zipper and zipper pulls are eco-friendly, with 30 percent of their polyester coming from sugarcane.

4. Ibex Wool Aire Jacket

Ranked #3 among testers聽

MSRP: $285

The promise: A puffy jacket that stays warm for life.

The deets:聽In contrast to down or synthetic jackets, this one is insulated with 90 percent merino wool. Unlike down, wool doesn鈥檛 lose loft when wet. And unlike polyfills, it doesn鈥檛 break down over time. Add to that a 20-denier, wind-proof and water-resistant nylon shell, and you get a high warmth-to-weight ratio in an 11.4-ounce package. Sustainability bonus: the fabric is PFC-free and bluesign certified.

5. Qual Traq Bluetooth-Enabled Trackable Dog ID Tags

Ranked #1 among staff members

MSRP: $50

The promise:聽Find Fido without loading him down with a bulky GPS device.

The deets:聽Between the 200 grams of PrimaLoft Gold Eco Series insulation and the grippy Vibram Icetrek outsole, this boot has been redesigned for the fourth season. But feet won鈥檛 get too sweaty, either: the proprietary waterproof membrane seals out water, but lets moisture vapor escape.

7. Smith I/O Mag Imprint 3D Goggle

Ranked聽#2 among testers

MSRP: $450

The promise: Faces come in all shapes and sizes, but these goggles are always a perfect fit.

The deets: Each pair is built based on a custom, 3D-printed scan to match the exact specs and contours of the user鈥檚 face. Customers can also personalize their choice of lenses and straps. The foam-to-face fit eliminates light leaks, air gaps, and hot spots for the widest possible field of vision.

8. Rumpl Nanoloft Puffy Travel Flame Blanket

Ranked #1 among 国产吃瓜黑料+ members聽

MSRP: $149

The promise:聽Go ahead, get close鈥攏o embers can ruin this camping blanket.

The deets: This blanket is woven with a proprietary fire-resistant fiber, which is blended with cotton and polyester for softness and can withstand ten seconds of flame exposure without melting. The blanket is also machine washable (washing doesn鈥檛 diminish fire resistance).

9. MSR Evo Trail Snowshoes with Paraglide Bindings

MSRP: $150

The promise:聽Bindings that offer a perfect blend of comfort, ease, and security.

The deets: These spiderweb-like bindings wrap your boot without pinching. Two rolling buckles secure the webbing and straps around the foot and ankle, while the stretchy mesh eliminates pressure points. As for the 鈥檚hoe itself?

10. Chaco Footwear Ramble Puff Lace

MSRP: $90

The promise:聽Camp booties that can actually handle rough terrain.

The deets:聽Just like your favorite mountain athlete: rugged on the outside, soft on the inside.

11. AKU Croda DFS GTX

Ranked #2 among staff members

MSRP: $400

The promise:聽These mountaineering boots are shockingly lightweight.

The deets:聽Thanks to a lighter, slimmer Vibram outsole鈥攖hat still provides necessary stability and grip on ice and snow鈥攖his pair barely hits three pounds. The Kevlar upper coupled with an elasticized structure resists both impact and abrasion while providing freedom of movement. The boot is designed to fit both traditional and semi-automatic crampons.

12. Montane Antifreeze XT Hoodie

MSRP: $399

The promise: This midlayer alpine jacket offers exceptional warmth for its weight.

The deets:聽The 100 percent recycled Pertex Quantum Eco outer shell is packed with 750-fill, dry-treated down for a total weight of 16 ounces. Yet it doesn鈥檛 skimp on alpine-ready features: a climbing helmet-compatible hood, two-way front zipper, high insulated collar, and three zippered pockets complete the piece.

13. Teren Designs Campfire Jacket

MSRP: $400

The promise:聽You may never need to patch this stylish insulated jacket.

The deets:聽Heat-resistant aramid fibers鈥攖he same material found in ballistic-rated body armor鈥攁llow this burly, two-pound jacket to withstand everything from campfire embers to driving rain to demanding bushwhacking, giving it the protection of a hardshell with the breathability of a softshell. The exterior includes additional wool-based Lenzing fibers for added softness, and the hydrophobic PrimaLoft Gold insulation (made from 75 percent post-consumer recycled water bottles) adds warmth.

14. Yakima EXO Openrange Deluxe

MSRP: $1,199

The promise:聽This roadworthy storage box unfolds into a camp kitchen.

The deets:聽Made of impact-resistant plastic, the box can live inside a vehicle or attach to your trailer hitch via Yakima鈥檚 EXO connector system. The all-in-one design will fit your whole cooking kit, and deploys into a fully functional kitchen with tables, a cutting board, a collapsible water station, and lantern hooks.

15. Backcountry Access Float E2-35 Avalanche Airbag

MSRP: $1,300

The promise:聽Defend against disorganization and avalanches with this efficient ski pack.

The deets:聽The airbag inflates using a supercapacitor, which powers the compressor using magnetic energy rather than a chemical reaction (upshot: you can take it on a plane). It deploys faster and more reliably than standard tech, even in temps down to -30掳F. The 35-liter pack also sports pockets and a side compartment for hassle-free gear management on the fly.

16. Big Agnes Parkview 63 [M’s] and Garnet 60 [W’s]

MSRP: $300

The promise:聽Big Agnes treks into the pack category with a commitment to recycled fabrics.

The deets:聽Besides being built with 85 percent recycled fabrics, the pack reflects the brand鈥檚 commitment to Leave No Trace with a seven-liter attachable 鈥渢rash can.鈥� Proprietary compression lifts the bottom panel to pull loads inward and upward, maximizing stability.

MSRP: $130

The promise:聽An expedition-worthy pack at a budget price.

The deets:聽With a whopping 90 liters of space split between two large main compartments and multiple pockets, you can pack all the layers and winter gear you need鈥攁nd then some. A sheet of closed-cell foam keeps the pack bottom from soaking through and lets it stand up on its own, and the 600-denier polyester defends against wear and tear.

21. Six Moon Designs Swift V

MSRP: $215

The promise:聽This ultralight pack comes in at an ultralight price.

The deets:聽Even though this 49-liter pack only weighs about two pounds, it doesn鈥檛 skimp on features.

Large chest pockets with zippered compartments and an exterior five-liter mesh pouch help keep gear organized.

22. Nite Ize Squeeze Clippable Phone Holder

MSRP: $20

The promise: Pockets too small? This gripper keeps smartphones safe and accessible.

23. Gordini Radiator Mitt

MSRP: $160

The promise:聽Blizzard-proof and ridiculously comfy aren鈥檛 mutually exclusive.

The deets: Made with Thindown, the world鈥檚 first down fabric, this mitt eliminates cold fingers with full coverage insulation at a mere ten ounces.

24. Hot Kup

MSRP: $80

The promise: Expand your camp menu with this smart gadget.

The deets:聽This sub-pound, battery-powered, 12-ounce cup can boil water or blend ingredients (with an attachment), adding shakes and soups to on-the-go food options.

25. XTRATUF Ankle Deck Boot Ice

Tied for #3 among 国产吃瓜黑料+ members

MSRP: $150

The promise:聽Tackle shoulder-season rain and ice with these rubber lifestyle boots.

26. Scarpa 4-Quattro XT

MSRP: $799

The promise:聽Plant-based plastics are sparking a new generation of ski boots.

The deets: The polymer used in this ski boot comes from castor oil, which is extracted from a non-edible crop. Use of this renewable material reduces carbon dioxide emissions from the boots鈥� manufacturing by 32 percent. As for performance: the carbon insert provides torsional rigidity, and the boot鈥檚 full-coverage, grippy sole improves traction.

27. Sea to Summit Tanmi Quilt

MSRP: $349

The promise: This down comforter converts into a sleeping bag.

The deets: The Tanmi Quilt is an adaptable, two-person comforter stuffed with 750-plus-fill down. Users can secure the quilt at the footbox for a lightweight sleep system, or attach it to Sea to Summit sleeping bags to add ten extra degrees of warmth.

28. LifeSaver Wayfarer

MSRP: $100

The promise:聽You鈥檒l never again have to wonder if your filter is compromised.

The deets: This filter has a fail-safe that stops the flow of water when the membrane needs replacing. The whole kit鈥攊ncluding a four-foot hose鈥攆its into a pocket and weighs 11.4 ounces. It filters up to 5,000 liters at a standard flow rate of 1.4 liters per minute. A replaceable hollow-fiber membrane blocks viruses, bacteria, and cysts, and an activated-carbon disc (also replaceable) traps heavy metals.

29. Tecnica Zero-G Peak Carbon

MSRP: $1,140

The promise:聽These ski boots weigh less than some hiking boots.

The deets:聽At four pounds for the pair, this boot is built with a focus on downhill performance and fit. The fix points are set higher on the cuff and lower on the shell to better hold the foot in place, plus ensure stiffness and torsional rigidity. A carbon-reinforced sole adds strength, and the thermo-moldable liner provides customizable fit.

30. Elwis Pro H600R

MSRP: $125

The promise:聽Massive lighting power in a tiny package.

The deets:聽This rechargeable headlight鈥檚 630-lumen output can send a beam the length of three football fields (almost 1,100 feet), yet it鈥檚 only six ounces and comparable in size to other headlamps. Subzero operating temps will appeal to night skiers and winter runners alike. The lithium battery takes four and a half hours to charge, and lasts about that long at full power.

31. Hydaway Camp Bowls

MSRP: $39

The promise:聽The first insulated collapsible bowls on the market.

The deets:聽This nesting set includes two bowl sizes (12 and 32 ounces). Both pop open and feature a sturdy, stainless steel rim with a polymer snap-on lid. A thick foam sleeve keeps food warm and doubles as a carrying case. All components are dishwasher safe.

32. Zamberlan 9000 Zarathrusta GTX RR Boa

MSRP: $675

The promise:聽This boot鈥檚 seamlessly integrated gaiter ensures superior warmth.

The deets:聽The sock-like, synthetic-knit integrated gaiter topping this stiff-soled mountaineering boot provides mobility and comfort.

33. Sunday Afternoons Meridian Thermal Beanie

MSRP: $36

The promise:聽Practical touches make this more than just a beanie.

The deets:聽Small slits near the temple keep sunglasses in place, and a ponytail opening lets your hair hang free. Lined with a soft and breathable microfleece, this low-profile hat can be worn alone or under a helmet.

34. Terramar Fusion Mid-Layer with Graphene

MSRP: $80

The promise:聽Meet the next wonder material in textiles.

The deets:聽Graphene fibers, which are stronger than steel yet flexible, are infused with polyester in this midlayer. The graphene increases your skin temperature without leaving you hot and sweaty, resulting in superior thermoregulation.

35. Black Diamond Equipment Venom LT Tech

MSRP: $180

The promise:聽This ultralight ice tool can handle ski mountaineering and alpine ice climbing.

36. Prana Insulo Stretch Hooded Jacket

MSRP: $200

The promise:聽Insulation created with way less carbon.

The deets:聽The heat-free manufacturing process used to make the 60 grams of PrimaLoft fill within this recycled-nylon shell produces 70 percent fewer carbon emissions than normal synthetic fill. Use it as a midlayer or on its own. Bonus: this hooded jacket is compressible enough to fit into its own zipped pocket for stowing away.

37. Black Crows Ora Xpore Ripstop Jacket

MSRP: $840

The promise:聽Nanopore technology delivers next-level waterproofing.

The deets:聽This jacket blocks wind and rain using a thin, stretchy, ripstop polyester membrane perforated with billions of nanopores, which are 20,000 times smaller than water droplets yet large enough to let water vapor escape.

38. Flylow Gear Magnum Pant [M’s]

MSRP: $375

The deets:聽A burly, 150-denier, DWR-coated outer shell provides maximum water resistance, while remaining pliable enough for high-output activities. And when it鈥檚 not dumping snow? A 7/8-length zipper allows ample venting and makes delayering easy. On the inside, a jersey backing offers next-to-skin softness.

39. Artilect Formation 3L Shell

MSRP: $650

The promise:聽This shell鈥檚 proprietary multi-layer technology will end clammy transitions.

The deets:聽Unlike typical DWR, the Empel treatment on this shell is fully fused around each fiber and doesn鈥檛 fill in valleys in the weave, letting vapor escape faster. An internal coating on the 70-denier nylon shell reradiates heat to the body, while the hydrophilic membrane dumps moisture even when you鈥檙e standing still.

40. Knog Bilby Run 400

MSRP: $65

The promise:聽A headlamp designed to keep you safe on the roads as well as the trails.

The deets:聽This USB-rechargeable, waterproof headlight weighs just three ounces, and boasts a 400-lumen output.

42. Houdini Sportswear Mono Air Pullover

MSRP: $200

The promise:聽All the comfort of a synthetic sweater鈥攂ut without the microplastic pollution.

The deets:聽This half-zip midlayer reduces microfiber shedding by 80 percent, emitting fewer microplastic particles into our water sources. (Compared with conventional fleece, which has exposed, cut-off fibers, this one uses longer, loftier fibers sandwiched between two layers of fabric.) A zippered chest pocket and stretchy, form-fitting cut round out the features.

43. Nathan Sports BFF Puffer Jacket

MSRP: $200

The promise:聽This featherlike insulation mimics down.

The deets:聽The Beyond Down loose fill鈥�95 percent recycled polyester, 5 percent down鈥� stays evenly distributed within the polyester shell without clumping. Two zippered hand pockets, an interior chest pocket, and a hem cinch complete the 15-ounce jacket.

44. Aleck 006

MSRP: $130

The promise: Keep the convo going as you shred the gnar.

The deets:聽Not only can you listen to tunes within your helmet, but these Bluetooth headphones, which insert into the helmet鈥檚 ear padding, can be mated for group comms with a push-to-talk button.

45. Xero Shoes Mesa Trail WP

MSRP: $140

The promise: A popular trail runner gets an upgrade.

The deets:聽The new XP version adds a water-proof membrane, a more abrasion-resistant upper mesh, a seam-sealed inner liner, and a gusseted tongue. Yet the extra protection only bumps the weight up by 3.6 ounces for the pair.

46. Jogo Coffee and Tea Brewing Straw

MSRP: $25

The promise:聽Cowboy coffee with a minimal footprint? We鈥檒l gladly drink through a straw.

The deets:聽This little tool eliminates the waste and hassle of a drip filter, press, or pod brewer, but still brings you premium coffee in the wild.

47. Line Skis Blade Optic

MSRP: $900

The promise:聽This ski bucks metal-laminate construction traditions for better performance.

The deets:聽Line鈥檚 proprietary metal construction crosses an aspen-veneer core horizontally instead of vertically. The result? The best of both worlds: the torsional rigidity and strong edge grip evoke the performance of a metal ski, while the snappy responsiveness mimics that of a non-metal one. Available in four waist widths (92, 96, 104, and 114 millimeters).

48. Salewa Ortles GTX Pro Stretch Jacket

MSRP: $740

The promise:聽This hardshell is light on weight, but heavy on technical utility.

The deets:聽A three-layer Gore-Tex Pro fabric provides weatherproofing and breathability, while four-way stretch gives skiers and riders enough freedom of movement to quickly initiate turns. Other highlights include two chest pockets large enough for avy transceivers and generous pit zips for easy venting. The whole package weighs only a pound.

49. Atomic Backland CTD Helmet

Tied for #3 among 国产吃瓜黑料+ members

MSRP: $410

The promise:聽Internal tech warns you when your helmet needs replacing.

The deets:聽An app records impacts to this helmet in five different zones. When an impact event exceeds a certain threshold, your emergency contacts get an automatic SOS with GPS location. The app also notifies you when cumulative impacts reduce the helmet鈥檚 effectiveness. Bonus: this brain bucket is triple certified for skiing, cycling, and climbing.

50. Farm to Feet Waitsfield 2.0

MSRP: $39

The promise:聽Space-age knitting that would make grandma鈥檚 jaw drop.

The deets:聽A 200-needle machine densely weaves 19.5-micron merino wool for perfectly even coverage on this sock. Ventilation channels allow for airflow, while the knitting method eliminates unwanted cold spots and seams. Ideal for skiers: extra cushioning in the shin.

The post The Best New Gear Coming in Fall/Winter 鈥�22 appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

While some brands halted production completely in the last year due to pandemic supply chain delays, others went full steam ahead. One thing鈥檚 for sure: there are still plenty of exciting new products to be found. And the people have spoken. After sifting through 181 submissions, more than 100 staffers, retailers, gear testers, and outdoor enthusiasts (国产吃瓜黑料+ members) ranked the top items on a scale from one to ten (higher numbers equal higher stoke). We averaged those scores to bring you this ranked list of the 50 most-coveted products of the Spring/Summer 鈥�22 season.

Democracy Rules

We鈥檒l be honest: some of these rankings surprised us editors. But that鈥檚 what happens when you sample a cross section of retailers, consumers, and staffers. To provide some transparency on how the votes shook out, we鈥檝e indicated the top three picks (according to average scores) among each of our voting groups: independent retailers, gear testers, 国产吃瓜黑料+ members, and 国产吃瓜黑料 staff.

Without further ado, we present the 50 hottest gear picks for Spring/Summer ’22.

1. NEMO Dagger Osmo 2P ($480)

The promise: NEMO sets a new bar in the world of eco-friendly tents.

The deets: This two-person shelter is made of NEMO鈥檚 Osmo fabric, a polyester ripstop base coated with a laminate layer that eliminates the use of harmful fire-retardant chemical additives, while still keeping the tent flame resistant. The composite weave has high strength and water repellency, yet weighs only three pounds two ounces. A bonus 鈥渢ub鈥� in the corner of the vestibule keeps gear from getting wet.

Top finisher: This item was the #1 retailer pick and #3 staff pick among all 50 products.

2. Big Agnes Lost Ranger 3N1 ($500)

The promise: You don鈥檛 need a quiver of sleeping bags to cover all the seasons.

The deets: Two down bags are better than one. This 650-fill Downtek system consists of an outer bag rated to 50掳F (men鈥檚 comfort rating) and an optional insert rated to 35掳F. Combined, they鈥檒l keep you warm down to 15掳F. It all adds up to a package that won鈥檛 weigh you down, at two pounds 13 ounces.

Top finisher: This item was the #1 国产吃瓜黑料+ member pick and #1 staff pick among all 50 products.

3. Hot Bento ($90)

The promise: It鈥檚 like having your own personal microwave on the go.

The deets: Fill the container at home with anything you like鈥攆rom leftover spaghetti Bolognese to chicken soup鈥攌eep cool until you鈥檙e ready to eat, then press a button to heat up your meal in 15 minutes. At two pounds four ounces, this product requires no power cords or boiling water, just battery power.

Top finisher: This item was tied for the #3 retailer pick聽among all 50 products.

4. NEMO Tensor Insulated ($190-220)

The promise: This popular pad is now much warmer.

The deets: NEMO upped the R-value from 3.5 to 4.2 with a continuous TPU film to prevent convective heat loss. Meanwhile, the weight remained virtually the same鈥�15 ounces. Three inches of waffle construction maintains the stability and weight distribution.

Top finisher: This item was the #2 国产吃瓜黑料+ member pick and #3 tester pick among all 50 products.

5. Altra Mont Blanc ($180)

The promise: This shoe offers superior traction in a lightweight package.

The deets: Altra鈥檚 brand-new foam midsole means each footfall feels like hitting a pillow. The upper is hyper-breathable, but it鈥檚 the outsole that inspires confidence. A combination of micro and macro lugs up to three mm deep respond to loose scree and slick boulders.

Top finisher: This item was tied for the #3 retailer pick聽among all 50 products.

6. MSR Lowdown Remote Stove Adapter ($50)

The promise: Cook safer with any stove.

The deets: This 6.3-ounce accessory works with any standard canister stove (MSR says it has only tested it on its stoves) to convert it to a more stable cooker by separating the gas canister from the burner and creating a lower center of gravity. You can control the flame valve from about a foot away, instead of directly underneath it, affording better and safer flame control.

7. Gregory Baltoro and Deva 65/60 ($300)

The promise: A pair of classics get a makeover.

The deets: This year鈥檚 Baltoro and Deva have an all-new, patented FreeFloat suspension system with 3D mesh and a foam-free design that permits more airflow. Compared to previous models, there鈥檚 more adjustability in the torso, shoulder harnesses, back panel, and hipbelt for a more customizable fit. Other improvements include enlarged hipbelt pockets, an attachment system for a bear spray holster, and a reduced carbon footprint with 31 percent less plastic in each pack.

Top finisher: This item was the #2 staff pick聽among all 50 products.

8. Leki Makalu FX Carbon ($220)

The promise: The consumer becomes the engineer with this trekking pole.

The deets: A patented technology allows the user to exchange parts on this three-section trekking pole. Switching the lower section from a carbon piece to an aluminum one transforms it into a more durable four-season pole in just three minutes. Should a section break, you can just swap that piece out rather than replace the entire pole, reducing landfill waste. Plus, a new handle design offers maximum comfort and grip.

9. MSR Freelite Series 1P Tent ($210)

The promise: It鈥檚 a spacious refuge for the solo camper.

The deets: Even with 20 square feet of livability and 39 inches of peak height, this tent鈥檚 packed weight is one pound five ounces, which is nine ounces lighter than the previous model. The finer details include DAC aluminum poles, cable ports on all the storage pockets, and no-curve door zippers that are easy to open one-handed.

10. Fj盲llr盲ven Abisko Trekking Tights Pro ($150)

The promise: No need to feel constricted in hiking tights.

The deets: The adjustable drawstring waist and polyester fabric allow freedom of movement, while the seat and knee areas are reinforced with Cordura for abrasion resistance. Secure a few items on the go in the envelope-like leg pockets.

11. Jetboil Stash ($130)

The promise: It鈥檚 the lightest Jetboil cooking system ever.

The deets: Jetboil鈥檚 latest portable backcountry cooking system weighs just 7.1 ounces, yet boils water in two minutes 30 seconds. All parts of the stove nest in the .8-liter pot for better packability than the older models.

Top finisher: This item was the #3 国产吃瓜黑料+ member pick聽among all 50 products.

12. Ignik FireCan ($200)

The promise: Enjoy the irresistible glow of a campfire without the danger of a wildfire.

The deets: Most wildfires start with human activity like campfires. With more burn bans in place, this propane-powered steel fire pit makes campfires safer, plus the mesh sides circulate generous heat output. It鈥檚 also the size of a toaster oven and weighs 10 pounds, making it ideal for basecamping. Foldable legs add to the portability.

Top finisher: This item was the #2 retailer pick聽among all 50 products.

13. Therm-A-Rest Parsec 32 ($350)

The promise: Three-season sleeping comfort for just over a pound.

The deets: This bag鈥檚 800-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down makes it warm enough for those 30掳F nights, yet still lightweight at one pound eight ounces. The 100 percent recycled shell and liner are soft to the touch, and anti-snag zippers make ins and outs frustration free.

14. MountainFLOW Bike Lube ($14)

The promise: Use plants, not petroleum, to grease your bike.

The deets: This plant-based lube not only provides long-lasting slickness and reduces friction on bike chains, but it鈥檚 nontoxic and better for the planet.

15. Dynafit Sky DNA Shoe ($180)

The promise: There鈥檚 a new way to lace your shoes.

The deets: A grommet-and-loop lacing system eliminates pinch points and fully supports the entire foot, while still keeping the toebox roomy for speedy descents. And thanks to this shoe鈥檚 four mm drop from heel to toe, trail runners can easily navigate demanding inclines and declines, but with a lower-impact stride.

16. Hibear All-Day 国产吃瓜黑料 Flask ($85)

The promise: It鈥檚 the Swiss Army knife of insulated bottles.

The deets: Serve up the bevvie of your choice by swapping the components of this 32-ounce insulated bottle. A filter lets you infuse your water with cucumbers, a special lid makes pour-over coffee, and a strainer enables cocktails over ice. Each bottle highlights a different artist. The wide mouth means easy cleaning without a bottle brush.

Top finisher: This item was tied for the #3 retailer pick聽among all 50 products.

17. BioLite Basecharge 600 ($699)

The promise: More off-the-grid juice for those modern-day electronics.

The deets: This 600-watt portable power station accommodates an array of devices, including a laptop, with multiple USB ports and DC sockets. Plug it in or attach it to a solar panel (sold separately) for recharging. At 15 pounds, it鈥檚 ideal for a basecamp office. For even more power, upgrade to the 1500-watt version.

18. Deuter Speed Lite 21 ($80)

The promise: Fast and light does not mean featureless.

The deets: This 21-liter pack weighs only 15 ounces, yet it鈥檚 full of surprises. The waist belt is detachable for lighter loads, there are multiple stretch and zippered pockets, and the pack is hydration compatible.

19. Deep Apparel Eco Series Men’s Marlin Sunshirt ($48)

The promise: This shirt protects you and Mother Earth.

The deets: This layer may have started as 16 plastic bottles, but we think it鈥檚 current form鈥攁 quick-drying, antimicrobial polyester long- sleeved shirt with UPF 50 sun protection鈥攊s a major improvement.

20. Mammut Aenergy Windbreaker ($159)

The promise: Weaving two layers into one creates a comfortable microclimate.

The deets: This lightweight jacket repels wind and water with its outer Pertex Equilibrium nylon fabric layer, while the inner layer uses finer yarns to create a denier gradient that mechanically moves moisture away from the body. Thanks to elasticized fabric inserts on the forearms, a cinchable hem, and a helmet-compatible hood, the fit is optimal.

21. Opinel No. 12 Explore Tick Remover ($49)

The promise: This knife is made for tick territory.

The deets: Opinel鈥檚 No. 12 Explore contains a four-inch steel blade that makes quick work of most camp chores, but this new version includes a tick remover. A plastic, wider-than-normal tweezer pulls out from the handle to pluck out ticks. There are three extra tools, including a whistle.

22. Osprey Unltd Anti-Gravity 64 ($700)

The promise: This could be the most comfortable pack ever.

The deets: Osprey has partnered with 3D-printing firm Carbon to bring a brand-new technology to backpacks. A lattice-work of elastomeric polyurethane creates a springy-yet-grippy lumbar pad that conforms to any lower back shape. Not only does it promise a more precise fit, but an updated adjustment system allows the user to fine-tune the harness and shoulder straps on the fly. But ouch: the price.

23. Outdoor Research Helium AscentShell Jacket ($400)

The promise: A new fabric combination delivers a more breathable and waterproof shell.

The deets: The update to the Helium Ascent comes from an exclusive collaboration with Pertex. The three-layer Pertex fabric has a 30-denier face and diamond-shaped filaments that lock together, increasing tear strength and abrasion resistance. The shell also has a very high waterproof rating of 15K. Even with the added durability, the jacket only weighs 11.5 ounces.

24. Rumpl National Parks Original Puffy Blanket ($129)

The promise: Wrap yourself in your favorite national park.

The deets: Made of recycled polyester, this blanket blurs the lines between indoor style and outdoor performance. The exterior has a DWR finish for stain and water resistance to protect the pretty designs that spotlight iconic national parks, such as Glacier, Denali, Grand Teton, and Olympic.

25. Mustang Survival MIT 150 Convertible PFD ($189)

The promise: This is the least bulky personal floatation device you ever did see.

The deets: Pull the tab to auto-inflate this life vest or or just blow into the mouthpiece. Alternatively, water will trigger automatic inflation if you are unable to pull the tab for whatever reason. The minimalist membrane-inflatable technology separates the film from the nylon shell fabric for more comfort, and the inflation provides 38 pounds of buoyancy鈥攎ore than three times what an average adult needs to float.

26. Hydro Flask Tandem Cooler Cup ($35)

The promise: Have your second drink ready to go with this tandem cooler.

The deets: Keep two 12-ounce cans ice-cold and locked in place with this two-story, double-wall stainless steel cooler cup. Finish your first drink, then open the next one without even getting up from your camp chair. The flexible collar seals in the cold and keeps cans from jiggling.

27. Kahtoola Renagaiter ($50)

The promise: This gaiter鈥檚 durable strap has a thousand-mile guarantee.

The deets: One of the biggest failure points of a gaiter is the instep strap. That鈥檚 why this one鈥攎ade from TPU鈥攖ucks into the lugs of any shoe or boot, and is rounded to deflect rather than get caught on terrain features. The DWR-coated nylon/polyurethane gaiter zips up over hiking shoes (it comes in two sizes) and seals out dirt, debris, and precipitation thanks to a drawcord, toggle lock, and lace hook.

28: Hoka One One Zinal ($160)

The promise: Travel like a gecko: fast, light, and nimble.

The deets: At 8.5 ounces per shoe (m鈥檚), this sneaker is featherlight. Not only does the Vibram outsole have maximum traction, but EVA foam layers in the midsole create durable, responsive cushioning.

29. SheFly Apparel Women’s Summer Hiking Pant ($128)

The promise: These pants make bathroom breaks easier for women on the go.

The deets: No more dropping trou and exposing yourself to the elements. These pants unzip at the crotch for quick and easy pee breaks. The pants also feature four-way-stretch, anti-pilling, anti-snagging material with UPF sun protection and five pockets. Roll them up into capris and secure with snaps.

30. Omina Stovetop Oven ($67)

The promise: Vanlifers and car campers now have a portable oven option.

The deets: New to the U.S. market, the Omnia is a lightweight (one pound one ounce) cooking system that works with any burner or heat source to make bread, baked ziti, or chocolate chip cookies. The stainless steel base directs heat upward, while the lid sends it back to create a cocoon of heat.

31. Helly Hansen Odin Pro Shield Jacket ($220)

The promise: This fleece crosses over into the waterproof category.

The deets: Designed for shifting mountain conditions, this layer pairs DWR-treated nylon with a gridded interior fleece to create a watertight fabric with breathability, stretch, and abrasion resistance. Zippered pockets, elastic sleeves, and an adjustable hood make this fleece even more versatile.

32. Norrona Paclite Gore-Tex Pants ($279)

The promise: You鈥檒l opt for these svelte shell pants even when it鈥檚 not raining.

The deets: Gore-Tex fabric guarantees complete wind- and waterproofness while dots on the interior lining create higher friction and keep the fabric off the skin. The bottom leg portion is three-layer Gore-Tex with a 30-denier face fabric for increased durability. Other elements include side zippers for ventilation and a bootlace hook.

33. Costa Santiago ($219)

The post The Hottest New Gear Dropping in Spring/Summer 2022 appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

After all but losing spring 2020 to the pandemic, retailers and consumers alike are looking for gear to get excited about in 2021. So excited, in fact, that we decided to add their votes to our ranking of next season鈥檚 top products. Together, we鈥檝e pored over, narrowed down, and rated this year鈥檚 submissions to bring you the 50 most coveted products, ranked.

With all the supply chain disruptions and bleak sales during the pandemic, many brands and retailers are focused on selling through what鈥檚 currently in stock. So we opened up our TV50 nominations to select in-line products as well. They are indicated below with the label “Available Now.”

Breaking Down the Votes

How did we come up with this list? We received 359 submissions from 159 brands. Prices ranged from $2 (for a packet of energy gel) to $4,799 (for a kayak). We culled the list to the most interesting 65 products, then put these finalists out for a vote among three different user groups: our internal editorial team, a panel of retail shop owners, and consumers drawn from a group of superfans of BACKPACKER, our sister publication. Everyone voted on each product, assigning a rating from one (not interested) to ten (very interested).

Here are the top picks of each voter group.

a massive dent in carbon emissions.

THE DEETS: Patagonia鈥檚 Nano Puff will be the first jacket to feature the lightweight and highly compressible PrimaLoft Gold P.U.R.E.

$170

THE PROMISE: These boots actually make hiking easier.

THE DEETS: KEEN says that the pliable TPU inserts at key flex points (across the forefoot and at the Achilles heel) in this midweight hiker require 60 percent less energy to bend.
