Best Hydration Packs
If you’re on the hunt for a new hydration pack and you’re overwhelmed by the number of products available, we’ve got your back. Our team of outdoor gear experts has analyzed the market and done extensive field-testing to narrow down this list of the very best hydration backpacks and reservoirs out there.

Black Diamond Spot 350
Headlamp Review
The Black Diamond Spot 350 is one of our favorite headlamps for backpacking because it’s bright, has a long burn time, and it’s full of convenient features. And at only $40, the Spot is a steal for such a powerful and durable headlamp. We named the Spot 350 the best value on our Best Headlamps list.

10 Tips for Hiking & Backpacking
in the Rain
There’s no doubt that rainy and cold conditions add an element of challenge to getting outside. But, don’t let a drizzly forecast stop you from being active and getting out in nature. The right mindset and quality rain gear make all the difference. Whether you’re day hiking or backpacking for multiple days, the following tips will help ensure your experience is safe and enjoyable.

A Short Guide to
Vermont's Long Trail
The Long Trail (LT) was the first long-distance trail ever established in America, and it’s also one of the most rugged with steep ascents and long spells of wet weather. The LT traverses the entire state of Vermont - from the border of Massachusetts to the border of Canada - and hits many of the major peaks.

Gossamer Gear LT5
Trekking Poles Review
If you’re looking for a pair of trekking poles with a great balance of strength and low weight, you can’t go wrong with the Gossamer Gear LT5s. These carbon fiber trekking poles have quickly become our go-tos for 3-season backpacking, and we’ve put them through hundreds of miles of hard use over the years.

Snow Peak Litemax
Stove Review
The Snow Peak Litemax is one of the lightest and most compact backpacking stoves on the market. This tiny powerhouse can boil a liter of water in just under five minutes, and then it folds away nicely to fit into pretty much any cookpot when you’re done. Because of how lightweight and compact the Litemax is, it's one of the top picks on our Best Backpacking Stoves list.

GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

REI Stormhenge Jacket

The REI Stormhenge is a unique waterproof down jacket that's perfectly suited to the unpredictable conditions of fall and winter. The 850-fill-power down provides efficient lightweight warmth, while the 2-layer membrane keeps rain and snow out. The Stormhenge is one of the few down jackets on the market that has pit zips to dump excess heat, so it's our go-to for chilly, but active days on the mountain. It's already an excellent value for the price, but the Stormhenge is 30% off right now at REI.

We named the Stormhenge the best waterproof down jacket on our Best Down Jackets guide and it's also featured on our lists of the Best Winter Coats for Men and Women.
