From the Alps to LA, These Trail Runners Can Tackle Any Path

When it comes to running shoes, I have an ongoing case of choice paralysis. There are just too many to choose from. We鈥檝e got shoes for everyday runs, shoes for racing, shoes for speed work, shoes for long runs 鈥 and that鈥檚 just for the road. Head to the trail side and you鈥檒l see shoes for every type of off-road path, from endless gravel roads covered in pine straw to near-vertical mountain trails that are way more sharp rock than dirt. It can be difficult to figure out exactly what you need.

Don鈥檛 get me wrong, I鈥檓 not complaining. Having a multitude of options for hitting the trail is good for everyone. But sometimes I just want a shoe that can do a little bit of everything. I don鈥檛 want a dozen specialized pairs of running shoes in my closet, I want a couple options that can take me from the mountains to the local park and maybe even be laced up on race day. But luckily, just as my brain was about to explode with indecision, I found a cure for my overly-stimulated prefrontal cortex: the .

Scott's Winter in Summer Sale Is Bringing the Heat with Deals Up to 60 Percent Off

As I sit writing this, it鈥檚 90 degrees outside, the sun is beating down, and an ever-present layer of sweat glistens on the surface of my skin. Isn鈥檛 summer supposed to be the best season? As a kid, yes鈥攂ut as an adult it鈥檚 hard to get excited about the heat. Instead, I find myself daydreaming about the first bluebird day of a fresh ski season and perusing the internet for snowy inspiration. And what do I find? A on ski and snowboard gear from Scott, just in time to cure my Summertime Blues.

While offers all kinds of outdoor adventure essentials (like gravel bikes and trail running shoes), the Winter in Summer sale is a can鈥檛-miss chance to shop the brand鈥檚 ski gear, which is marked down by up to 60 percent. It鈥檚 summer, the temperature is hot, so why shouldn鈥檛 the deals be hot, too? And even if your quiver is fully stocked, you may still want to grab ski-season must-haves while they鈥檙e deeply discounted, from waterproof shells and Arctic-ready insulation to helmets, goggles, boots, poles, and skis. I scoured every single page of the site and asked our ski-savvy editors for their top picks鈥攈ere’s what we’re shopping at the Scott Winter in Summer sale.

Our Top Picks from the Scott Winter in Summer Sale



Freeguide Carbon Ski Boot

This is easily one of the best deals we found in the sale. The Freeguide Carbon boot is a freetouring boot that鈥檚 ready for serious mountain missions. The BOA fit system liner ensures a dialed-in fit and a carbon shell provides excellent performance for downhill riding. An integrated ski/walk system and a 2-part tongue make these more than suitable for going uphill, too.

LCG Compact Goggle

Using the same engineering from their popular LCG goggle, Scott made the LCG Compact to fit small and medium faces. The goggles have Scott鈥檚 clever lens changing system built in, and all of the features you鈥檇 expect from a quality goggle: 100% UV protection, anti-fog coating, a no-slip strap, and a spare lens.

Vertic GORE-TEX 2-Layer Jacket

Few things are more important when skiing than a quality shell jacket. This 2-layer jacket is made with an impenetrable GORE-TEX membrane, has pit-zips for breathability, and clever features like interior sleeves with thumbholes and a powder skirt to keep snow out.

Symbol 2 Plus Helmet

Don鈥檛 hit the mountain without a helmet. The Symbol 2 is a great value, especially at 50 percent off. It has a WRAS 2 fit system that accommodates all head shapes and is equipped with MIPS to help protect your brain on impact if you do find yourself taking a tumble.

Defined Tech Hybrid Women’s Pull-over

scott hybrid hoodie

Personally recommended by a fellow 国产吃瓜黑料 editor, the Defined Tech Hybrid is a versatile mid-layer that is great for a day on the slopes, but also for hikes, backpacking, climbing, or running. It has warm hand pockets and an offset half-zip that keeps the zipper off your chin. A hybrid construction keeps moisture at bay.

Mitten Explorair Pro GTX

Combine a GORE-TEX outer shell and a sherpa liner and you鈥檝e got some supremely warm mittens on your hands. These are reinforced with heat-resistant DuPont鈩 Kevlar庐 thread on the palms for extra durability and have a carabiner loop to keep them close when you aren鈥檛 wearing them.

Original Fleece Pants

If your closet is lacking a cozy pair of sweats for apr猫s ski, the Original Fleece Pants are an easy pick up. The loose fit is going to be a huge relief after a long day in multiple layers and the little details are all there, from the adjustable belt to hand-warming pockets and a not-too-tight hem at the ankle.

burton snowboard on white background

Burton Family Tree 3D Deep Daze Flat Top Snowboard

One of our favorite snowboards for 2025, this is an ideal choice for powderhounds that are always the first ones down the mountain after a big storm. The board provides constant energy and float, and was much more versatile on the mountain than we expected it to be. But the real reason it stands out is its innovative channel technology. The unique 3D base wowed our testers, with one of them claiming that the 3D Deep Daze 鈥減umped, bounced, and buttered through powder like a peyote-popping porpoise on a vision quest.鈥

Burton [ak] Hover GORE鈥慣EX 3L Stretch Jacket

GORE-TEX isn鈥檛 the only waterproof tech on the mountain, but it has certainly become the go-to for boarders who are keen on staying dry all day long. The Hover jacket is a light, packable, waterproof shell made for conquering the backcountry. It stows small when you鈥檙e following the skin track up the hill and keeps the conditions at bay on the way back down.

Anon M4S Goggles (Toric) + Bonus Lens + MFI庐 Face Mask

This bundle has everything you need to protect your eyes and face on the mountain. The M4S goggles use cylindrical lenses for a wide field of view and come with a bonus lens you can swap out on the go thanks to Anon鈥檚 Magna-Tech magnetic lens interface. The bundle also includes a magnetic face mask to keep you warm on the coldest days. The M4S frames are designed for folks with medium-sized faces and聽 come with a microfiber goggle bag to keep them protected when you鈥檙e not wearing them.

 

Burton [ak] Kalausi GORE-TEX C-KNIT 3L Bib Pants

If you鈥檙e a splitboarder that needs their pants to be equal parts stormproof and breathable, the Kalausi bib pants are a treat. The three-layer GORE-TEX material is fully waterproof while still allowing for hot air to move away from your skin on tough climbs. Once you reach the summit and prepare to turn back down the hill, the impenetrable outer membrane will keep you completely dry and comfortable.

burton vest

Burton Futuretrust Insulator Vest

When the cold really starts to hit, your mid-layers make all the difference. The Futuretrust Insulator Vest, one of Burton鈥檚 many gender-neutral offerings, is a low-bulk option that packs a huge punch warmth-wise. A lightweight Pertex shell is paired with 200g ThermacoreEco fill to keep you warm without making you feel like a marshmallow. Bonus points for the zippered side vents that let your torso breathe when you work up a sweat.

Mosquitos Nearly Ruined My Eastern Sierra Backpacking Trip鈥擝ut This $11 Lotion Saved the Weekend

A few weeks ago, I ventured up to the Eastern Sierra for a quick backpacking trip. I鈥檓 no backpacking expert 鈥 I鈥檝e only been on a couple trips in my life 鈥 but I am a gear nerd, so my packing list was comprehensive. I packed spare trash bags to keep things dry in case of rain and I had a few extra plastic sandwich bags for trash and toiletries. I had a tent, a sleeping bag, an ultralight sleeping pad, and a merino wool t-shirt I could wear each day, plus all of the other things you need for two nights in the backcountry.

The most important thing I packed, though, was actually an afterthought. Right before I locked my front door and drove north, I grabbed the that had been sitting unopened in my gear closet for the last few months. This last-minute addition to my pack turned out to be the savior of my trip when our group was met by a relentless wave of mosquitoes.

Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent Lotion ($11)

From the moment I got out of my car until I returned to it two days later, the mosquitos were rampant. Save for a few hours in the middle of the day, we were absolutely beat down by mosquitos for the entire trip. The only line of defense between me and a veritable galaxy of painful mosquito bites was the humble $11 bug repellent I almost left at home.

I lathered up in the mornings and the evenings, covering as much of my body in the stuff as possible 鈥 I even put the lotion on before I donned my long sleeve shirt聽to keep the bloody bugs from nipping me through the fabric. Once I was fully covered, the swarms of bugs that followed finally gave up on biting. Sadly, the lotion couldn鈥檛 prevent their constant buzzing and swarming and nagging; but at least I was blessedly protected from their attacks.

But that鈥檚 why I swear by the Sawyer picaridin repellent. It’s not so hardcore that you鈥檙e afraid to really cover yourself in it; you don鈥檛 have to worry about the harmful effects of DEET or permethrin, two toxic bug repellents that you can鈥檛 always put directly on your actual skin. The lotion acts as a barrier, allowing you to leave your skin uncovered on hot days rather than layer up in repellent-treated clothing and gear. I had the lotion with me, but Sawyer also makes a , which doesn鈥檛 last as long but is easier to apply in a pinch, since you can just spray it directly onto your clothes and your body at the same time. From now on, I will be taking both the Sawyer picaridin spray and lotion on any backpacking trip 鈥斅燼nd I can guarantee they鈥檒l be the first things I pack.

Our 6 Favorite Deals from Topo Designs' Summer Sale

Prime Day may have ended yesterday, but the summer deals haven鈥檛 stalled just yet. (Check here to see if you can score any last-minute Amazon deals.) is throwing its own sale event through July 14, giving you this entire weekend to shop deals on day packs, apparel, luggage, bike bags, and just about everything else the brand makes. Items are up to 40 percent off, with extra savings if you go big on travel kits and accessories.

We’re big fans of the Topo Designs鈥檚 , a hybrid backpack/duffel that gives maximum flexibility when traveling (we schlepped it to Europe and loved how organized it kept us). Right now, you can get that bag in five different colors for just $169, down from its standard price of $229. You can also save on the , which we love for summer hiking, or the , the perfect blend of retro and modern outdoor apparel. That鈥檚 just a preview of what鈥檚 on sale. Read on to find a few of our favorites or head straight to to check out the entire sale at once.

Topo Designs Bag and Accessory Deals

Global Travel Bag 40L ($229)

We mentioned taking this bag across the pond, but we think it鈥檚 a great choice for any adventure, near or far. The convertible bag can be comfortably carried as a backpack thanks to padded shoulder straps, a sternum strap, and hip strap. If you鈥檇 prefer to carry it over your shoulder, you can stow the backpack straps and pull out the shoulder strap. The bag is loaded with pockets, including zip pockets, stash pockets inside, and a couple of big compartments for your clothes and bigger items. Don鈥檛 need 40 liters? The is on sale, too.

Rover Pack Classic ($99)

Perhaps Topo Designs鈥檚 most recognizable pack, the Rover Pack Classic might become your new favorite daily bag. We love the vintage-inspired design, which is utilitarian while also casual enough for daily use at school or work. Like all of the bags Topo Designs makes, this one is loaded with useful pockets and attachment points for all of your gear.

Bike Bag Mini ($39)

This bag may be diminutive but its usefulness is enormous. Whether you鈥檙e carrying gels and salt tabs on an all-day century ride or smuggling a tall boy of Pabst home from the corner store, this bag will make every ride you go on just a bit more enjoyable. Thoughtful details like water-resistant fabric on the outside and a waterproof liner make this more than just a canvas sack that attaches to your handlebars鈥攊t鈥檚 an indispensable accessory.

Apex Global Briefcase ($179)

If you鈥檙e not ready to pivot to a Mad Men-era hard-sided briefcase but don鈥檛 want to keep lugging a backpack around, the Apex Global Briefcase is the ideal compromise. It鈥檚 stylish and sophisticated, but, as with all Topo bags, it is designed with an outdoor sensibility. It comes with a shoulder strap, but it also has integrated backpack straps so you can carry it like a backpack if you need to start moving more quickly. Our favorite detail is the luggage pass through, which makes schlepping through the airport so much more enjoyable.

Topo Designs Apparel Deals

Retro River Shirt SS ($89)

Once you start wearing this shirt, you might not ever take it off. Quick-drying, breathable, and breezy, this shirt is the ideal all-day summer shirt. Wear it to float the river or take the boat out in the morning, then head straight to the local brewery for an IPA without changing your duds. What makes this more than a simple button down, though, is the hidden sunglass wipe at the hem and the nearly invisible zippered side seam pocket.

Retro River Shorts ($89)

We can鈥檛 gush about the River Shirt without talking about the River Shorts. Made for hikes, climbs, and impromptu dips in the river, these are ideal for just about anything summer throws at you. The integrated nylon belt and buckle pair with the mesh front pockets to give the shorts their namesake retro vibe, and a zippered rear pocket ensures you don鈥檛 lose your keys or wallet when you take that leap into the swimming hole.

13 Deals from Patagonia's Freshly Stocked Web Specials Section

If you鈥檝e been online this week, you鈥檝e probably been hit over the head with Prime Day coverage. While there are dozens of noteworthy deals over at Amazon (including huge savings on and , among others), there are some great savings to be aware of elsewhere. , for example, has caught our eye with its expansive . Most of the year, the brand鈥檚 sale section has plenty on offer but virtually no size options. However, right now you can snag some of Patagonia’s best deals in a range of sizes.

Take the , one of our longtime favorites, which is on sale in full size runs for men and women. Not in the market for a puffy jacket? You can also save on performance fleece, fuzzy sherpa jackets, vests, sleeping bags, packs, and more. Whether you鈥檙e shopping for a summer adventure or stocking up on winter gear while it’s on sale, now is a great time to save on some of Patagonia鈥檚 best gear.

Patagonia Deals on Insulation

Nano Puff Jacket ($230)

The Nano Puff is a perennial favorite here at 国产吃瓜黑料. It ticks all the boxes for a lightweight puffer: it鈥檚 water-resistant, windproof, and has the right amount of warmth to be a great option on cool summer nights in the mountains or a dynamic layer on cold winter days.

Nano Puff Vest ($189)

All of the features we love about the Nano Puff jacket, but in vest form. At just 8 ounces, it鈥檚 a minimalist鈥檚 dream layer for all seasons.

Cotton Down Jacket ($349)

If you want a puffer made entirely from natural materials, this should be your pick. The body fabric and torso/hood lining fabric are made with 100 percent cotton and the fill is 100 percent duck and goose down that was reclaimed from other down products. The jacket is more than just its responsible materials, though鈥攊t has raglan sleeves for a wide range of movement, two hand-warmer pockets, and an internal pocket for valuables.

Patagonia Deals on Fleece

R1 Air Zip-Neck ($129)

The R1 Air Zip-Neck technical fleece is ideal for high-output adventures. It uses moisture-wicking fleece to keep you comfortable when your internal temperature rises and is made with a slim fit to allow for optimal layering. The half-zip design allows you to choose your own amount of ventilation, and offset shoulder seams prevent a pack from rubbing your skin raw.

Natural Blend Retro Cardigan ($349)

Another classic reimagined with natural fibers, this fuzzy fleece is made from a blend of recycled polyester and recycled wool. It has cozy hand-warming pockets, a zippered chest pocket, and Y-joint sleeves for comfort and ease of movement.

Classic Retro-X Fleece Vest ($159)

The Classic Retro-X might be one of Patagonia鈥檚 most recognizable silhouettes. The high-pile fleece keeps you insulated while the windproof backing prevents cold air from darting straight through the vest to your body.

Patagonia Deals on Apparel

Lightweight Waxed Cotton Jacket ($369)

Waxed cotton is the original waterproof material, so it makes sense that Patagonia chose it as another natural fiber option. The waxed cotton will only get better the more you wear it, and the 55 percent hemp/45 percent organic cotton muslin lining provides a soft touch underneath the crinkly outer fabric.

wind jacket

Women鈥檚 Wind Shield Jacket ($199)

Nothing can derail a good adventure faster than the wind whipping up. If you鈥檙e not prepared, you鈥檒l freeze through in mere moments. The Wind Shield jacket is your protector in these situations, blocking wind and resisting rain while also allowing your body to breathe thanks to strategically placed ventilation panels.

Women鈥檚 Fjord Flannel Shirt ($119)

Not every day calls for something technical. For trips to the local brewery or coffee dates on a Friday morning, nothing beats a quality flannel. This one is made from soft, hard-wearing 100 percent organic cotton, has two chest pockets, and a versatile tail that looks good tucked or untucked.

wind jacket

Women鈥檚 Houdini Stash Half-Zip Pullover ($139)

For long runs or hikes where the weather can pick up at any moment, a lightweight, packable wind layer is a must-have. The Houdini Stash half-zip pullover only weighs 3.3 ounces and can easily be stuffed in a pocket or running pack.

Patagonia Deals on Gear

Fieldsmith Lid Pack 28L ($139)

This top-loading pack is a great option for folks who want a day pack that excels on the trails and at the office. It can hold up to 28L of hiking gear, or a 15-inch laptop and an extra change of clothes for your post-office trip to the gym.

Fieldsmith Hip Pack 5L ($59)

Don鈥檛 sleep on the fanny pack. With 5L of easily accessible space, this pack can easily hold a phone, keys, wallet, an extra layer, and maybe even some water. We love the small details, like a breathable mesh back to keep you from sweating too much and daisy chain webbing to attach extra gear.

Fitz Roy Down Sleeping Bag 30掳 ($429)

Patagonia鈥檚 sleeping bags don鈥檛 get a lot of attention, but they鈥檙e packed with innovative designs and features. The Fitz Roy has a sculpted foot box, a 3D-engineered hood for maximum warmth, and an internal zipper pocket. Plus, it鈥檚 filled with warm, lightweight 800-fill-power Advanced Global Traceable Down.

Evo鈥檚 Fourth of July Sale Is Here

We may still be a few days out from the holiday itself, but the Fourth of July deals have kicked into high gear. To start the party, has launched its big summer sale and loaded it with savings of up to 50 percent on bikes, ski and snowboard gear, apparel, and more.

We love a good sale, especially one that offers steep discounts on expensive hardgoods. Evo鈥檚 includes markdowns on complete Santa Cruz bicycles, Atomic skis, Lib Tech snowboards, Smith sunglasses, and more of our favorite (but pricey) gear. If you play your cards right, you could save up to $1,000 on a single item.

To save you some time, we handpicked a dozen editor-approved items that are great bang for the buck.

If you buy through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission. This supports our mission to get more people active and outside. Learn more.

Ironically, summer is often the best time to buy winter gear (as you鈥檒l continue to see throughout this list of products). At more than $100 off, the Swift Stretch Jacket is a smart summer buy. You might not need it until the first snow flies, but you鈥檒l be glad to have this jacket in your closet when it鈥檚 time to hit the slopes.

If your mountain bike is your vehicle for adventure, the Five Ten Trailcross XT is the shoe for you. Unlike most bike shoes, these are actually designed for walking, scrambling, and hiking (along with mountain biking, of course). So if you find yourself making frequent pit stops along the trail to take some photos or hunt for some mushrooms, this is your shoe.

A discounted Patagonia jacket that is still available in sizes S-XL is a unicorn. Now鈥檚 the time to buy without hesitation鈥攜ou won鈥檛 find a better fleece, especially at a discount. The Retro Pile is a great midlayer聽 for winter, but it鈥檚 more versatile than that: it鈥檚 perfect for crisp summer evenings in the mountains and will be a shoulder season workhorse come fall.

We鈥檝e lost track whether fannys are in or not these days, but let鈥檚 be honest鈥攅veryone needs a good hip pack. An adjustable waist, ample and generous pockets, and breathable mesh backpanel make this more than your mom鈥檚 fanny pack from the 90s.

Smith is one of the most trusted brands in eyewear, and for good reason. Their lens quality and frame designs are usually a step above the competition. The Attack MAG is made specifically for mountain biking, featuring vents to maximize airflow and an oversized lens to protect the eyes from dust and debris. Plus, the magnetic lens swapping system lets you change out your lenses in a jiffy.

We鈥檙e big fans of Smith goggles too, though their price tags can be hard to swallow. But if you can score them on sale, we say go for it. The 4D MAG uses the brand鈥檚 signature ChromaPop lens technology to boost clarity and contrast in varying light conditions. And if conditions change drastically on the hill, you can use the slick magnetic lens system to swap out lenses on the fly.

The Salomon Dialogue Dual BOA is a workhorse of a snowboard boot that can do everything on the mountain. The BOA system makes dialing in your fit a cinch鈥攅specially once you鈥檝e had the heat-moldable liner customized to your foot鈥攁nd the Dialogue-exclusive heel cage prevents heel lift.

Keeping the noggin protected is a priority, and the Ambush 2 mountain bike helmet is up to the task. It features MIPS technology to help protect the brain against impact forces in the case of a crash, and purpose-built ventilation that allows for ample airflow when the climbs get sweaty.

Much like when biking, a helmet is non-negotiable when skiing or snowboarding. The Smith Vantage has MIPS tech built in, uses a BOA system for dialing in fit, and adjustable ventilation that you can tailor to your needs.

The Hawx Ultra 100 GW is a great choice for beginner and intermediate skiers looking to take their skills to the next level on the mountain. The boots have moderate 100-flex for all-mountain comfort and performance, and a heat-moldable liner that ensures the perfect fit.

Designed to tackle everything from powder days to park sessions, the T.Rice Orca has all of the little details dialed in. The nose is long and floaty for deep days, and the tail has more than enough pop to make resort riding fun even on low tide days.

These skis have a cult-like following for a reason. They’re some of the more playful planks on the market and are versatile enough to tackle all-mountain conditions as well as big pow days.
