We tested men’s running gear for road and trail: a no-bounce belt, socks that hold up, cold-weather tights, calf sleeves, and cheap kit that works.

The running gear we reach for every week: a no-bounce belt, chafe balm that lasts, cushioned socks and cold-weather gloves that earn their place.

We tested rucking vests for secure fit, load comfort, and real-world stability. Here are the ones worth carrying on your next loaded walk.

We tested rubber boots for wet decks, muddy chores, cold hunts, and job sites. Here are the picks that keep feet dry and comfortable.

We tested hard-shell and soft-shell rooftop tents for overlanding and car camping. Here’s what to buy for space, clearance, and off-grid power.

We tested roof bags, boxes and baskets to find the best rooftop cargo carrier, from a 28-cubic-foot bag that needs no crossbars to a lockable hard box.

We packed and rolled eight carry-ons to find the ones that clear the sizer, spare your back and survive the carousel.

We tested inflatable and foam camping mats for packability, warmth and comfort. Here is the pad to buy for your tent, cot or backpack.

We tested rocking camp chairs for campsite comfort, packed size, and easy exits. The GCI Freestyle Rocker is our default, with room for bigger campers.

We tested beginner climbing harnesses for fit, comfort and easy adjustment. The Petzl Corax is the one we tell most new climbers to buy first.
