Ultralight Backpacking Basics
We love hiking with an ultralight kit because it allows us to spend less time worrying about aches and pains and more time enjoying side trails and the beautiful scenery around us. Whether you’re new to backpacking or you’re a traditional backpacker looking to lighten your load, we’ll break down everything you need to know about getting started with ultralight backpacking.
Best Water Bottles
Best Water Bottles
Water bottles. We all use them, but many of us don’t really put much thought into it. We just use whatever vessel is laying around. If you’re still sipping from that banged up old bottle you've had for a decade, it’s probably time for an upgrade. We spent countless hours getting our hydration on to bring you this list of the very best water bottles on the market.
Best Base Layers
Thermoregulation is a key part of staying safe and comfortable in the backcountry. We consider base layers to be some of the most important items in an outdoor clothing system, and getting the right one for the conditions makes a big difference. We put dozens of base layers to the test to make it easy to find the best ones for your lifestyle.
8 Iconic Pacific Northwest Backpacking Trips

That’s why we put together this list of some of the most iconic and spectacular trails the PNW has to offer, so dust off your pack and add one of these gems to your summer adventure list.
GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

Coleman Xtreme 70 Quart Cooler


It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to get a great cooler.TheColeman Xtreme 70 Quartis very effective at keeping things cold for multiple days and it’s a great value. Of all the coolers we've acquired for testing, the Xtreme is the one we tend to use the most because it's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and has lots of interior space. It may not be as rugged as some of the fancy rotomolded coolers out there, but it covers our needs for most trips without being overkill. We love that the Xtreme is available in a black color now too, which hides dirt well and looks pretty snazzy. The Xtreme is super affordable and it gave the more expensive coolers a real run for their money in our performance tests. Because of this, the Coleman Xtreme is one of the top picks from our Best Coolers guide
