From hikes and yoga to jet-setting and workouts, leggings are a comfortable and functional choice. Despite their apparent simplicity, they’re not all alike, and there’s nothing worse than a pair of ill-fitting leggings. They ride up, squeeze tight, slide down, and need constant adjustment. It’s not only annoying, but it also gets in the way […]
Electronic devices like phones and cameras emit electromagnetic signals that can disrupt avalanche transceivers. And in an emergency, when time and accuracy are essential, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is working against you. It could make the difference between rescuing someone and recovering them. The International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) recently released an updated position statement […]
I conceptualized my idea nearly 3 years before I actually put a paddle in the water. I had speed bumps, hurdles, tragedies, and personal woes all to overcome before actually setting out on what I thought was going to be a 2-month journey. Aside from the monumental physical and mental hurdles in place to paddle […]
It may be only a fraction of the clothes you’re wearing on any given adventure, but finding the right sports bra (for you!) can make a huge difference in your day. It’s easy to overlook because when we nail it, we forget about it. On a particularly chilly fall day in the Tetons, I went […]

I never expected to see blood at a water fight — or collapse from sheer fatigue. My adrenaline had been pumping for nearly an hour and my reserves were flagging. I was exhausted and cold to the bone despite my drysuit. But the smile on my face just kept growing. This was the most pure […]
Over the years, GoPro has become so much more than a camera company. The brand has evolved to embody extreme sports, adventure travel, and jaw-dropping stunts. It sponsors events like the GoPro Mountain Games and sponsors athletes like Jimmy Chin, Chris Davenport, Matthias Girard, and Danny MacAskill. And every year, the videos coming out of […]
I’ve been wearing the Whoop 4.0 for over a year, the unobtrusive wrist strap never leaving my arm. As a personal trainer of almost 30 years and somewhat of a “bio-hacking” fan, the promise of quantified recovery was appealing. I’ve found most self-monitoring products useful initially, but gaining new knowledge ceases since I follow the […]
If you’re waiting to upgrade your ride before you get out there next weekend, stop. You don’t need that next fancy upgrade, and your stock vehicle is much more capable than you think.
