Reviews
Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket
The Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket was designed with “loaded minimalism” in mind, an oxymoron that's actually pretty apt.
Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate Carabiner
The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate carabiner is effective at eliminating cross-loading while belaying, but there are a few quirks to be aware of.
First Look: 2013 Surly Krampus
The 2013 Surly Krampus brings back those good old memories of rallying rigid bikes with canti brakes; but instead of steep angles, long stems, and terrible tires, you're on a sweet modern machine.
DMM Dragon Cams
The DMM Dragon cams bear a striking resemblance to the Black Diamond C4s, but in practice they're different from anything reviewer Dave Alie has used before. (And that's a good thing.)
Follow Up: Atomic Tracker 16 / Salomon Guardian 16 AT binding
Marshal Olson follows up on our initial review of the Atomic Tracker 16 / Salomon Guardian 16 AT binding, and weighs in on AT boot compatibility, stack height, and that climbing guide....
First Look: 2013 Diamondback Scapegoat
The 2013 Diamondback Scapegoat looks impressive, with quite possibly the best off-the-rack build of any Gravity / Park / AM bike on the market. Eric Melson's been putting time on it, check out his initial impressions.
La Sportiva Futura
The La Sportiva Futura has less rubber under your foot, more sensitivity, and...no edge. At all. Time for some very creative—and fun—climbing.
PREVIEW: Epic Planks Crop Duster
With a generous amount of tip and tail rocker, a 122mm waist, and a flat camber profile underfoot, the Epic Planks Crop Duster is made primarily to float and smear. But we're still curious to see how it holds up in variable conditions....
PREVIEW: Epic Planks Ripper
On paper, for an all-mountain, one-ski quiver, everything about the Epic Planks Ripper seems well thought out.
Dalbello Kr Two PRO
The 2013 Dalbello Kr Two Pro boot has been significantly overhauled for 2013, giving the three-piece vs. overlap shell debate an exciting new talking point.
First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 Pants
Generally speaking, the First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 Pants are breathable, warm, stylish, and comfortable. But where do they fall short, and where do they excel?
Sterling Evolution Duetto 9.4 Half Ropes
While switching rope brands might seem unthinkable, for anyone considering making the jump from single ropes to half ropes, the Sterling Evolution Duetto Half Ropes perform beautifully. Might be time to rethink the unthinkable.
Columbia Bugaboo Ranger Backpack
The Columbia Bugaboo Ranger is an exceptional pack for resort, sidecountry, and quick-access backcountry skiing, and one tweak would make it absolutely perfect.
2012-2013 Burton Easy Livin
As Danny Davis’s pro model board, it's no surprise that the Burton Easy Livin performs well in the park. But after summer testing, all signs point toward a one-board quiver.
RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 Shock
The RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 is basically the best air shock that reviewer Kevin Bazar has ever ridden on any trail bike.
Küat NV Rack
The Küat NV is a solid contender among tray-style hitch-mounted bike racks, with a built in, legit repair stand that sets the NV apart.
PREVIEW: 2012 Knolly Chilcotin
After a long wait, reviewer Joe Hanrahan finally got a Knolly Chilcotin. While he continues to put it through its paces, here's a first look at the bike and Joe's early impressions of the ride.
Transition Trail-or-Park
The Transition Trail-or-Park has what you'd expect in a do-it-all jump / park / pump track bike, but it's the ToP's unexpected details that makes this bike stand out.
Mystery Ranch Blackjack Airbag Backpack
The Mystery Ranch Blackjack is an airbag pack where the pack itself doesn't feel like an afterthought. And that fact might be far more important than you think.
