Back in mid-January I was sitting around the dining table at the in Colorado after a long day of backcountry skiing with Primaloft and San Juan Mountain Guides聽 and casually brought up the subject of jacket hoods. Never in my life have I created such an instant and intense conversation about outdoor gear. People all around the table immediately chimed in with loud and passionate opinions, advice, preferences, and stories.

Patrick Ormond, the head guide for the who鈥檇 been leading my group of skiers that day, was unequivocal about his stance:

鈥淭he more hoods, the better,鈥� he said. 鈥淒id you see me today? At one point I had five hoods stacked together up on the ridge. When I鈥檓 belaying ice climbers, I鈥檝e had eight hoods all stacked on top of each other.鈥�

For Ormond, who finds himself in sub-zero temps all winter long, hoods equal essential warmth.

Former ski racer Colin Suszynski said his approach to hoods was 鈥淥CD.鈥� If he鈥檚 wearing multiple layers that all have hoods he鈥檒l spend the time to pull them over his head or helmet one at a time and then take them off so that they nest together and can all be pulled up at the same time if need be. He鈥檚 so particular about how the hoods fit together that he鈥檒l often check his shadow while riding the lift to make sure nothing is askew.

The Cozy Beauty of Hoods

I鈥檓 not as particular or familiar with hoods as Suszynski or Ormond, but I too have a deep appreciation for this often overlooked gear feature. In fact, if I were to list the things that make me feel the coziest, I鈥檇 say sitting next to a wood stove, climbing under a down comforter, and pulling up my hood.

Physically, a hood adds warmth by trapping warm air that escapes from your body around your neck and head. Psychologically, a hood makes you feel protected and less susceptible to the wind, snow, and or rain.

All聽 winter, which has been particularly cold this year, I鈥檝e been choosing hooded sweatshirts and jackets over their non-hooded counterparts because I can鈥檛 fathom going outside with the extra protection. The few times I鈥檝e been out in the weather, reached back for a hood and found I wasn鈥檛 wearing one, I鈥檝e felt completely exposed and unprepared鈥攍ike I was walking around in flip flops and shorts, or with my fly down.

Design Details from the Hood Geeks

This talking and thinking about hoods prompted me to learn more about the design and development that goes into the modern hood. My first call was to Dan Abrams, who co-founded 20 years ago, and is known among friends and colleagues as a true hood geek.

Abram says his love for the hood comes from years of storm chasing, which gave him the understanding that when you put up your hood, especially when you鈥檙e skiing on a cold and snowy day, it almost feels like you鈥檙e 鈥減utting on an entire other midlayer.鈥� It adds important warmth that will help keep you on the chairlift and out of the lodge.

When Abrams and his co-founder were designing their original hoods, they realized that smaller jackets鈥攅specially those made for women鈥攃ame with much smaller hoods. This made sense on paper, but the problem is that all helmets are big, so a small hood was never going to cover one, even a small-sized one, much less a medium or large one. To make the Flylow hood functional, the duo figured out the rough dimensions of a hood that would fit the largest helmet but not be so big that it swallowed smaller helmets.

鈥淚 always tell people you need something that鈥檚 about 16 inches tall and 11.5 inches deep,鈥� Abrams says, rattling off the numbers from his memory.

Flylow also puts a lot of emphasis on how their hood adjusts and moves with the user. On their top-end jackets, you鈥檒l always find three points of adjustment: two drawcords by the cheeks and one near the crown. These adjustments ensure a snug fit, and also allow users to cinch down the hood around a ball cap or beanie if they鈥檙e touring instead of downhill skiing.

The hood design also needs to strike a delicate balance in terms of movement. If the hood is too baggy, it stays static, so a skier will turn their head and be staring at the inside of the hood. If the hood is too tight, the skier will feel like they can鈥檛 turn their head without a fight. Abrams says that with the right tailoring, however, the hood never feels restrictive but fits snug.

Flylow pays extra attention to the height of the front collar as well. The height, when zipped, should come over the user鈥檚 lips but sit below their nose. It鈥檚 important to nail that exact spot because it provides warmth for the user鈥檚 face, but doesn鈥檛 cover their nose, which tends to push hot air into a skier鈥檚 googles and cause them to fog.

鈥淭he Foggy Goggle is a great bar in Steven鈥檚 Pass, but you want to stay away from foggy goggles when you鈥檙e skiing,鈥� Abrams says.

Finally, Abrams knows that skiers want their hoods to look good when they鈥檙e not in use, so Flylow spends a lot of time making sure the hoods fall correctly onto the back of the jackets and don鈥檛 look bunched and tangled or skew to one side or the other.

鈥淚t has to sit just right,鈥� Abrams says.

Engineering the One-Hand Pull

Wanting to know more, my next call was to Patagonia, which is also full of great design stories after decades of iterations and thousands of products. Both Corey Simpson, who leads their communications team, and Maggie Elder, a senior designer for technical product, had lots to say.

Simpson said that he鈥檚 watched hundreds and hundreds of hooded product samples come through, and when a hood is designed well, no one notices or talks about it. But when a hood is off, testers and designers notice immediately.

鈥淭he minute that a hood is off even just a little, people absolutely lose it,鈥� he said, laughing.

Elder was the lead designer on Patagonia鈥檚 , one of their top-shelf ski products, and said lots of extra time was spent designing a special hood for that jacket. The hood鈥檚 unique idea came from Elder who loves backcountry skiing and knew that almost every time she crested a ridge she had to pull on her hood to fight off the wind and cold.

On most jackets you have to unzip the collar a bit in order to squeeze the hood over a ski helmet, which takes a while, lets in cold air, and requires two hands. She wanted the process to be easier, so she set out to create a hood that could be pulled up with just one hand, without unzipping the collar.

The solution was to build a little elastic into the front of the hood so that it could squeeze over a helmet but regain its tight shape once it was up. Elder didn鈥檛 want the hood to look scrunched so she designed an elastic hinge on each side of the hood that allows it to expand and contract. She then covered that hinge with a shingle of face fabric. That way, it鈥檚 hidden and the hood didn鈥檛 look like a Pacman eating your helmet.

Elder said she was happy with the design, but then Patagonia had to work extra closely with the manufacturer because it鈥檚 more complicated than you think to build a hinge into a hood and make it 鈥減assive,鈥� a term Patagonia designers use to describe a feature that works seamlessly.

鈥淲e got there with the Untracked jacket but it took a lot of work,鈥� Elder says. I tested an Untracked jacket and confirmed that they indeed got it right: pulling the hood up with just one hand, Elder鈥檚 hinges expanded under their fabric shingles and allowed the hood to easily and smoothly glide over my helmet with minimal effort.

Getting the design right has even higher stakes for Patagonia鈥檚 climbing line because hoods can literally be the line between life and death. A hood needs to provide warmth for climbers who are dangling off the side of a giant wall, but if the hood has too much insulation it could prevent them from hearing instructions from their partner and lead to a mistake.

Plus, climbers are even pickier than skiers.

鈥淪ometimes we鈥檒l get a hooded sample out to two world-class alpinists and one will think it鈥檚 the best thing ever and the other will tell us that the product should never get released to the public,鈥� Simpson says. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 because one person loves the field of view on the hood but the other complains that it lets in too much snow.鈥�

The hood is so important, Simpson says, that it鈥檚 an easy way to tell if a product is more everyday focused or is designed for a bigger and more serious adventure. The serious product always has a hood.

I don鈥檛 have any problem wearing a hoodless jacket around town, but I agree with Simpson that whenever you鈥檙e in an outdoor situation with higher stakes, a hood makes a big difference. The day after our dining room conversation on that Colorado backcountry ski trip found us all standing on a windy ridge at 12,000 feet. There was no way to stay warm without a hood, and everyone automatically pulled theirs up without a second thought. I don鈥檛 know if they noticed how easily the hoods came up and fit just right, but I sure did.

Creating high-quality video content has never been easier. Small action cameras now feature powerful sensors that capture stunning footage day or night, mind-boggling stabilization, and easy integration with quality wireless mics. But remember that your video is only as good as your adventure, so get out and get after it.

Best Overall

Insta360 Ace Pro 2

Sensor Size: 1/1.3″
Weight: 6.3 ounces
Battery Capacity: 1800mAh

Pros and Cons
鈯� Buttery stabilization
鈯� Nice low-light footage
鈯� Great color profile
鈯� No need for 8K video

GoPro and DJI have long dominated the action camera market, but Insta360 takes over this year with the Ace Pro 2. Co-engineered with Leica, the camera shoots ultra high-resolution footage, rich 4K slow-mo, and captures high-quality audio. It also has a laundry list of amazing features, including a dedicated chip to help with low-light shooting, a back screen that flips up for great selfie footage, and industry-leading stabilization.

The total package makes it nearly impossible to shoot bad footage. No matter what we were doing鈥攕kiing, cycling, overlanding, etc.鈥攖he Ace Pro 2 produced video that we were always excited to edit and share. Shooters with more experience will find it easy to dial in custom settings, but the camera鈥檚 user interface was also easy to navigate for testers who had less experience.

Insta360鈥檚 accessory ecosystem is not as big as GoPro鈥檚, but there is still plenty to choose from, including chest and handle-bar mounts, tripods, fast-charge battery packs, and ND filter sets. The company is not pushing integration with wireless mics, but it鈥檚 easy to pair a mic from a company like DJI to improve the quality of interviews or narration.

We were hard-pressed to come up with any critiques of the Ace Pro 2. Just one comment: No one really needs 8K footage on an action cam. That kind of resolution is overkill for social media (even YouTube), which is where most action-cam footage ultimately ends up.

Best GoPro Update

Hero13 Black

Sensor Size: 1/1.9″
Weight: 5.6 ounces
Battery Capacity: 1900mAh

Pros and Cons
鈯� Better battery life than previous model
鈯� Class-leading accessories
鈯� Great color profile
鈯� No upgrade to the sensor

The new Hero13 comes with two big upgrades. First, it includes a higher capacity 1900mAh battery that lasts up to 2.5 hours (depending on settings) and is now the standard for all of GoPros flagship cameras (we can hear videographers cheering from here). And second, GoPro has expanded its already robust accessories ecosystem by adding a suite of lenses you can slap on the new camera.

Related: Is the GoPro Hero13 Black Better Than the GoPro Hero?

These include an ultra-wide lens ($100) to increase the field of view, making it 36 percent wider and 48 percent taller, and a macro lens ($130) that lets you get up close and personal with small things like tiny animals or flowers. GoPro also just released its new Anamorphic lens ($130), which allows shooters to capture pro-level cinematic-quality footage. When you affix any of these lenses, the GoPro automatically recognizes it and adjusts its settings accordingly.

We鈥檙e fans of accessory lenses because they provide different perspectives: a new way of seeing and of capturing content. These days, all action cameras offer amazing resolution and stabilization; if you want to capture unique footage, different lenses open up new avenues for creativity. We hope that other action camera companies follow GoPros lead in this department.

GoPro plopped the same sensor from the Hero12 into the Hero13, so there鈥檚 no bump in resolution or low-light video quality. GoPro has been criticized for this, butit doesn鈥檛 bother us much because the lens integration is what you鈥檙e buying with the Hero13.

The biggest downside to the Hero13 is that the new lenses have to be purchased separate from the camera and its included standard lens. As a bundle, all three lenses cost $360. But we think that鈥檚 a smart, long-term investment since these lenses will likely be used with, and outlive, the 13, 14, and other GoPros to come.

Best for Beginners

DJI Osmo Pocket 3

Sensor Size: 1″
Weight: 6.3 ounces
Battery Capacity: 1300 mAh

Pros and Cons
鈯� Easy to use
鈯� Great stabilization
鈯� Best for social
鈯� Lower quality footage

It鈥檚 not lost on us that the most expensive action cam on this list is one we recommend for beginners. It would be cheaper to get a GoPro, but we think this camera鈥檚 user-friendly design makes it a worthwhile investment for novices.

Most action cams are designed to be attached to accessories like tripods, monopods, and various grips to capture footage on the go. The Osmo Pocket 3, on the other hand, is an all-in-one unit with an easy-grip handle and built-in three-axis stabilizer, which allows you to grab the camera at a moment鈥檚 notice, hit the power switch, and start recording silky smooth 4K footage almost immediately. We also love the two-inch screen that you can flip vertically to record social footage and keep horizontal to record wide-angle footage that鈥檚 great for YouTube.

DJI makes the best wireless mics on the market and they seamlessly plug and play with the Osmo Pocket 3 so you can record interviews or film yourself with high-quality sound. If you鈥檙e vlogging, you can also set the camera down and tell it to lock onto your face so you stay in focus while walking around within the frame.

While this camera isn鈥檛 designed to be strapped to a mountain bike (the built-in handle gets in the way), we have reliably used it to capture decent action footage while skiing. It can鈥檛 compete with the likes of GoPro or Insta360 in this department, but it鈥檚 a great option for traveling and hiking.

One note: the Osmo 3 has been around for a while. While it鈥檚 still available for sale, we鈥檇 be willing to bet that DJI is working on an update.

How to Choose an Action Camera

Purchasing an action cam is just like buying a bike or a set of skis in that you need to think first and foremost about how you will use it. Invest in a GoPro if you want a huge ecosystem of accessories, go for the Insta360 if quality footage is what matters most, and we suggest the Osmo Pocket 3 if social is where most of your videos will land.

You鈥檒l need to look elsewhere if you plan to produce full-length documentaries. Action cams are best for gathering shorter videos that go on social platforms or that get spliced into longer edits. Take Cody Townsend鈥檚 鈥淭he Fifty鈥� for example: He had a full-time videographer, , who used pro cameras to capture most of the footage. Townsend was also filming with a GoPro so that we could see his first-person perspective, but the editors would only include his footage when it made sense.

Storing and Editing Video Footage

It鈥檚 easy to shoot fun footy, but without proper organization and equipment, it can be a pain in the ass to store and edit. Make sure you have a hard drive that鈥檚 big enough to store video footage (we suggest you start with something that鈥檚 at least 10 or 12 terabyes), and use a naming convention that鈥檚 easy to search so you can go back and find the footage you shot last month, or last year.

On the editing side, there are lots of apps such as that will help you splice your best clips together to create a short Instagram reel, but they can鈥檛 help you produce a thoughtful three-minute mini documentary. If you want to create something longer, you鈥檒l need to learn how to use video editing software such as Adobe Premier Pro.

Battery Life

Always invest in extra batteries. Companies say their batteries will last hours, but they never do, so it鈥檚 important to have at least two extra batteries on hand if you鈥檙e on an all-day adventure.

How We Test

• Number of Testers: 5
• Number of Products Tested: 10
• Hours of footage captured: 20+
• Number of times we jokingly said 鈥渇ooty鈥� and 鈥済nar鈥�: 100+
• Highest elevation while testing: 10,500
• Coldest temp while testing: 0掳贵

Camera geeks are the best testers because they鈥檙e geeks. While most people just want to start shooting, the geeks also want to dig into the minutia and spend hours debating the merits of one camera versus the other. Thankfully our camera geeks have gotten good at digging into the details but then backing out and putting themselves in the shoes of the regular consumer so they can make recommendations based on general use.

For this year鈥檚 test we sent cameras on a wide variety of adventures and told testers to push the limits to find out where they failed. One tester took his camera on a full-moon skin to see how well the low-light option worked. While you could make out what was happening, the footage was not pretty to look at, letting us know that while action cams have come a long way, they鈥檙e still not as good as a bigger pro-level camera.

The post The 3 Best Action Cameras of 2025 appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

The Outdoor Media Alliance show hosts gear journalists twice annually in a converted warehouse in Denver, where we hear about upcoming products from dozens of top-shelf brands. After two days at OMA, I curated a list of six new products that got me excited for the upcoming camping, trail running, and skiing seasons.

Helinox String Trees Game

Any time I camp with kids, my first directive on arrival is to tell them to bugger off and go explore. I don鈥檛 worry if they鈥檙e gone for hours and don鈥檛 care what they do as long no one comes back bleeding. However, at some point their games of tag in the forest wear off and they start complaining about boredom. The next time that happens I鈥檓 breaking out this game, which I know will entertain for hours.

String Trees is loosely based on shuffleboard and consists of a rope that you string horizontally between two trees, pillars on a shade structure, or the like, and a series of rings that can be slid across the rope. Both players stand at one side of the rope and take turns trying to shove one ring at a time down the rope so that it lands in one of several color-coded sections that represent various points. The farthest section of color equals the highest number of points. But because players alternate shoving rings from the same side, they can push each other鈥檚 rings past the color-coded sections into the black, which erases previous points. The person with the highest number of points wins.

La Sportiva Prodigio Pro Running Shoes

I鈥檝e skied in La Sportiva boots and spent many miles on the trail in their hikers but had never once run in their shoes because they were so darn stiff. The company designed聽 shoes for mountain runners who wanted burly soles and tons of stability, but I grew up in the Hoka generation and wanted a little more squish. Then I got my hands on the Prodigio Pro at the OMA show and became a La Sportiva running shoe convert.

Thanks to a much more forgiving midsole, these shoes ate up chunk on trails, padded my feet when I came screaming down steep sections, and delivered lots of bounce-back when I was striding out on the flats. Like all Sportiva shoes, the last is fairly narrow, and the clever, reinforced mesh upper completely swallowed my foot for a conforming and protective fit with zero movement. I loved the knit collar around my ankle that kept all debris out, and chunky lugs gripped at all times, even in loose kitty litter that sometimes leaves me on my ass.

For more details on the Prodigo Pro read from our RUN editors.

Pelican AVP-D ModPak AV Double Pouch

Sometimes I want to bring a mirrorless camera on my trip but don鈥檛 want to carry around a camera bag. I don鈥檛, however, want my camera and lenses just floating around in a regular pack with no protection. Now I can get that protection without the bulk thanks to this Pelican pouch, which is just big enough to hold a mirrorless camera and two lenses.

The protection comes from a smart internal design that keeps everything snuggly in place, combined with a rigid EVA and Cordura outer that prevents pricey gear from getting smashed. A giant zipper opens the entire front of the pouch for easy access, and molly straps on the back let you attach the pouch to your backpack, as long as it鈥檚 equipped with a molly system.

Nite Ize CamJam SlideLock Rope Tightener

At this point in history, you鈥檇 think we would have thought of every possible clever way to tie something down. But no, the nerdy and very smart engineers over at Nite Ize are still putting in long hours and finding new ways to help us secure whatever it is we need to stay in place. One of their newest inventions is the SlideLock.

Up top, the SlideLock is a carabiner, but at the bottom there鈥檚 a device that you can feed a medium-size rope through. You then keep pulling the rope until you鈥檝e adjusted it to whatever length you want, at which point聽 teeth in the device bite onto the rope to keep it from slipping back out. The uses are endless, but I plan on using mine to help me string up camping tarps (the carabiner will go through the tarp holes and the rope around a tree) or help me tie down junk in the back of my truck.

Deuter Freerider Pro 32 +10 Backcountry Pack

[Available Fall 2025]

Backcountry ski packs have always presented a goldilocks gear problem. You need several types because you don鈥檛 want a huge pack on single-day adventures, but smaller packs aren鈥檛 big enough for weekend hut trips. Deuter aims to solve that conundrum with the Freerider Pro, which holds 32 liters when packed down but grows to 42 liters if you expand the roll-top closure. Some people will say that 32 liters might be too big for one-day trips but I think it鈥檚 actually perfect because there鈥檚 enough room for extra gloves, a puffy jacket, or extra food. And while 42 liters isn鈥檛 enough for a week-long hut trip, it will store enough gear to get you through a couple days out in the woods.

As you would expect, the bag carries both snowboards and skis in multiple configurations. It comes with a dedicated avalanche gear pocket, and a hefty waist belt helps deal with the heft when it鈥檚 loaded down. You can access your gear through the top, but there鈥檚 also a zipper around the backpad that flays open the entire bag for easy access to everything inside.

Fjallraven Bergtagen Mountain Cap

[Available Fall 2025]

Every brimmed hat with ear flaps I鈥檝e ever come across was made exclusively for winter wear, with both the hat and the flaps insulated, making them way too hot for spring or summer. Thanks to some out-of-the-box thinking, however, Fjallraven has now created an all-season hat with ear flaps that I can鈥檛 wait to test. I鈥檓 calling it 鈥渁ll season鈥� because the hat itself is made from a polyester/wool/cotton blend that breathes well enough for use during high-output activities throughout the year, and the ear flap is made from a light wool/polyester blend that will cut the chill when backcountry skiing but not make me overheat if I want to use the flap for sun protection in the summer. The ear flap is also thin enough that it nearly disappears when tucked into the hat, adding to the cap鈥檚 all-season prowess.

Nowadays there鈥檚 no such thing as a bad digital camera. The iPhone you have in your pocket takes stunning images and every single mirrorless or DSLR being released by the major brands is capable of capturing images that could land on the cover of 国产吃瓜黑料.

But with great choices come hard decisions. The camera market is so crowded you鈥檒l have to do some research to find the model that includes the specific features you want鈥攂e that amazing autofocus, enormous file size, or an affordable price. We鈥檝e put together a list of the new mirrorless cameras that stood out during our testing to provide a starting point.

Updated March 2025: We’ve added a new top pick from Canon and a splurge pick from Leica. Prices and info have been updated for 2025.

Best Overall

Canon EOS R5 Mark II

Weight: 1.3 lbs (body only)
Size: 5.45鈥� x 3.87鈥� x 3.48″
Sensor: 45 megapixel full-frame stacked BSI CMOS sensor

Pros and Cons
鈯� Ultra-fast frame rate
鈯� Great autofocus
鈯� Compact body
鈯� Not the prettiest

It鈥檚 been a decade since Canon launched a camera as game-changing as their 2005 compact, affordable, yet fully-featured 5D DSLR, but the new R5 Mark II promises to have a similar impact in the mirrorless category. Thanks to a smart balance of size and specs, the R5 Mark II is bound to have a longer-than-normal shelf life with pro and amateur photographers alike.

The R5 Mark II鈥檚 appeal centers on three main things: a compact and easy-to-carry camera body, a 45MP full-frame stacked BSI CMOS sensor that allows the camera to capture up to 30 frames per second (fps), and high-powered autofocus.

The croissant-sized camera body weighs just 20.7 ounces, making it a great choice for those who prioritize moving lightly on outdoor adventures. In the frames-per-second game, 30 is 10 more than you get with similar cameras like the Nikon Z8, and more than enough to capture a skier streaking past in a high-g turn or a cyclist ripping down a descent. And with an 眉ber-smart autofocus that uses machine learning to help shooters easily lock on and track a variety of different subjects, I was almost guaranteed to nail the shot every single time

The R5 Mark II doesn鈥檛 produce the same image quality as the Sony A7RV (the most resolution-packed mirrorless camera on the market). But the Sony files are a pain to store because they take up so much hard drive space, making them too big for 90 percent of shooters, even the pros. Canon opted for a more reasonable file size, that can still produce images that are high-quality enough to grace magazine covers and gallery walls.

One niggle is that the Canon camera body, compared to those from Nikon and Sony, is not as pretty to look at. But in the end, who cares when it produces beautiful photos?

Best Value

Sony A7CII

Weight: 15.1 oz (body only)
Size: 4.9鈥� x 2.8鈥� x 2.5鈥�
Sensor: 33-megapixel full-frame Exmor R BSI

Pros and Cons
鈯� Small
鈯� Full-frame sensor
鈯� Fair price
鈯� No auto-focus joystick
鈯� Not ergonomic with Sony鈥檚 largest zoom lenses

The Sony A7CII is our top pick because it鈥檚 small but mighty and the best option for those of us who like to adventure. At just over a pound and about as thick as three iPhones stacked together, it鈥檚 travel friendly and comes with a giant full-frame sensor that captures 33-megapixel images, advanced auto-focus, and interchangeable lenses. In short, it鈥檚 a pro-level camera that鈥檚 significantly better than any current phone camera (or any phone camera we鈥檒l likely see in the next five years).

The interchangeable lenses you can use on the A7CII add bulk and weight, but Sony makes two that are the perfect add-on. Less than three inches long and about the diameter of a paper-towel tube, they鈥檙e much smaller than most standard lenses but fast enough to capture great photos in low light, wide enough for landscapes yet not too wide for portraits, and built with high-quality glass so it produces tack-sharp images

This camera is best for those who primarily want to shoot photos; but if you want to shoot video, you get beautiful 4K footage and incredible image stabilization for handheld shooting.

The A7CII costs $2,198 and the 35 millimeter f1.8 lens adds another $748, which brings the total to just shy of $3,000 for the basic setup. That may seem high, but it鈥檚 in the ballpark for a pro-level, full-frame camera that has the chops to shoot everything from action to landscapes.

Simplest

Fujifilm X100VI

Weight: 1.15 lbs
Size: 5鈥� x 2.9鈥� x 2.2″
Sensor: 40.2-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR

Pros and Cons
鈯� Easy to transport
鈯� Simple to use
鈯� Rich photos
鈯� No interchangeable lenses
鈯� Not a full-frame sensor

The X110VI won a spot on this list for three reasons: it鈥檚 small, relatively simple, and captures gorgeous images. About the size of three iPhones stacked together, the camera weighs just 1.1 pounds so backpackers, bikepackers, hikers, skiers, or anyone who鈥檚 moving fast won鈥檛 feel weighed down. You won鈥檛 want to pack it in a running vest, but the camera is certainly small enough to fit in your daypack, or even the chest pocket of your ski shell.

Some photographers will chafe at the idea of not having interchangeable lenses, but we love the simplicity of this camera. With just one, high-quality 23mm f/2 (35mm equivalent) lens to work with, you鈥檙e forced to be a more creative photographer. If you want to zoom in, you鈥檒l need to walk closer. Need to capture a landscape? Back up or climb a hill. The 35mm focal length isn鈥檛 perfect for portraits, but it doesn鈥檛 distort the subject and can be made to work if you鈥檙e careful about your framing.

Why not just pack your iPhone 15 Pro (or newer) since it鈥檚 also portable and actually has three lenses? Because the X100VI is a camera (versus a phone with a built-in camera), Fujifilm is able to pack in a significantly bigger sensor (40.2 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR) compared to what you get with an iPhone. That bigger sensor drinks in more light and therefore creates more detailed photos and also does better in low-light situations.

The X100V isn鈥檛 as powerful as a full-frame Sony or Canon camera, but it鈥檚 the perfect travel-sized option that captures better quality photos than an iPhone.

Splurge

Leica Q3 43

Weight: 1.5 lbs (body only)
Size: 5.12鈥� 脳 3.15鈥� 脳 3.62鈥�
Sensor: 60.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS

Pros and Cons
鈯� Sleek
鈯� Ultra-sharp glass
鈯� Indestructible
鈯� Expensive
鈯� Limited in its uses

I let out a guffaw when I first heard the price for this camera. For $7,000, you can buy two Sony A7CIIs and several high-quality Sony lenses or one Canon R5 Mark II and a suite of their top-shelf lenses. So why the hell would you throw down $7,000 for one camera and one fixed lens? Because it鈥檚 a Leica.

Despite the outrageous price tag, Leica has a strong hold on me for two main reasons.

First, the brand has an incredibly storied past. Photographers toting Leicas have shot many of the world鈥檚 most important photos like the shot of the young girl fleeing a napalm attack in Vietnam, the iconic portrait of Che Guevara that鈥檚 on T-shirts and pins worldwide, and that rainy day photo of James Dean walking through Times Square. This history gives Leica more street cred than any other camera company and makes photographers want to use one in hopes that they, too, can one day shoot a photo that counts.

Second, Leica makes a damn nice and beautifully simple camera. It starts with the ultra-sharp glass, making the photos produced by the f/2 43mm lens on the Q3 crisper than those shot by a Nikon, Canon, or Sony. A fixed 43mm lens might be a little long for people who are used to fixed 28mm or 35mm lenses, but it鈥檚 great for portraits and street photography and still wide enough to capture a crowd or a landscape.

The Q3鈥檚 lens is matched to an ultra-high-res 60-megapixel full-frame sensor that shines in low light and produces rich images that look as good on Instagram as they do on your wall. Instead of a host of buttons and dials on the top of the camera, the Q3 controls are paired down and the camera features far fewer custom options. This is intentional because the camera is not designed for shooting Premier League soccer, but instead is meant to be toted along on your trek through the Alps or into the streets of New York City.

Many photographers have film Leicas that are decades old and still work great because of their unmatched build quality. The Q3 is no different thanks to an all-metal outer that will put up with drops, scrapes, bumps, and anything else you can throw at it during your adventures.

The Q3 might be compared to other pieces of high-end outdoor equipment like a carbon-plated running shoe, an ultra-light camping tent, or a set of all-terrain tires. These pieces of gear are not for everyone, should not be used in every instance, and cost a lot more money than other options. But for people who use these specialty pieces of gear for their intended purpose, they make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What鈥檚 the Difference Between DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras?

A DSLR has a mirror inside the camera body that reflects the light coming through the lens and shoots it up to the viewfinder. When the shutter button is pressed, the mirror moves out of the way to let the light from the lens hit the digital sensor.

In a mirrorless camera there is no mirror, so the image you see through the viewfinder is electronically generated and the light goes straight from the lens to the sensor.

Which Is Better鈥擠SLR or Mirrorless?

You could spend a week combing through threads about whether DSLRs or mirrorless cameras are better, but the short answer is this: mirrorless cameras are the future and that鈥檚 where you should spend your money.

Some people like that the viewfinder on a DSLR is optical, not digital, but the digital viewfinders these days are so good that you鈥檒l never have any problems. Some people like the larger form factor of DSLRs when handling big lenses, but it鈥檚 easy to add an extra grip to a mirrorless that makes these smaller cameras just as easy to handle.

The advantages of the mirrorless camera, on the other hand, are numerous and growing. They鈥檙e smaller to start because there is no mirror, and therefore easier to transport on adventures. You can also shoot silently, since there鈥檚 no mirror moving around, which is an advantage in situations where you鈥檙e capturing wildlife or other sensitive scenes.

There used to be more lenses for DSLR cameras, but all the major companies now have a full line of high-quality mirrorless lenses, and the prices have also come down so you can easily find affordable but high-quality mirrorless cameras these days

How Much Does a Decent Camera Cost?

You should plan on spending at least $2,000 for the body. That gets you a pro-level camera that uses interchangeable lenses and comes with all the best features, like a full-frame sensor and high-quality autofocus. If you can make the jump to $3,000, you get even better resolution and all the new autofocus features that make shooting sports a breeze.

What Are Key Features to Look For?

If you鈥檙e going to invest in a mirrorless camera, get a full-frame sensor. These large sensors have incredible resolution and great low-light performance. From there you鈥檒l need to decide what kind of photographs you want to make.

Shooting sports? Go for a mirrorless camera that has a really high frame rate and all the newest autofocus technology. More focused on landscapes and portraiture? Go for a camera that shoots high-resolution or high-megapixel images.

How We Test

• Number of cameras tested: 10
• Number of testers: 5
• Number of pictures taken: 70,000 +
• Hours spent figuring out each camera: Over 50 hours total

You鈥檝e probably heard the term 鈥渃amera geek.鈥� I bring this up because our tester pool was full of digital nerds. All the testers are former or working photojournalists who鈥檝e followed camera development for the past 20 years and love to geek out on new specs and features. They spend hours debating which camera is the best overall, which is the best for sports, which is the best for portraits, and love to argue about where the technology is going next.

All this enthusiasm made our job easy because we just had to distribute the cameras and let them go crazy. For this test, the cameras traveled all over the United States and Europe and captured everything from bike races to beach vacations.

What made a camera rise to the top of our test was a blend of performance and usability. Our testers looked for cameras that performed, whether that was accurate autofocus or great low light captures, and then also gave notes on how easy it was to get the camera to do what you asked. Were the dials in a convenient place? Was it easy to hold the cameras with a larger lenses? Did the camera bog you down on longer adventures? To be honest, the final decisions were quite hard but these were our clear favorites.

If you asked me to name the best bike brand, it would be impossible. Dozens of brands make top-shelf bikes that are an absolute pleasure to ride and full of creative technologies. However, naming the best bike rack brand is easy: 1UP. Several other brands make totally competent racks, but none are as unique, well made, thoroughly designed, or beautiful as what 1UP constantly pumps out.

Case in point is 1UP鈥檚 new Super Duty bike rack. I鈥檝e been testing it for the past several months on the back of my 2024 Toyota Tundra and there is not one thing I can find wrong with the design.

1UP racks have long had a cult-like following because they鈥檙e the best rack out there for safely transporting your expensive bike. Their design uses two arms that secure your wheels by reaching over them and putting downward pressure on your tires to keep the bike locked in place on a metal tray. By locking on the tires, the arms never touch your frame and therefore won鈥檛 rub the paint or damage the bike, while still keeping it completely planted and safe.

This design also has the added benefit of a super clean aesthetic. The two arms sit nicely on the wheels, creating a symmetrical design, and everything is made from polished or simple black aluminum. When folded up and not in use, all the 1UP bike racks tuck against the back of your car more cleanly and efficiently than any other rack out there, almost blending into the car or the tailgate.

Testing the 1UP Super Duty

The version I tested is an upgrade over the standard 1UP rack in several important ways. The biggest talking point is that each tray can now hold up to 100 pounds (compared to 50 pounds per tray on their standard rack), and each tray and lock-down arm is wider so you can now safely carry the heaviest e-bikes or even a wide-tired electric dirt bike like those made by Super 73.

The electric dirt bike capability is a big deal because lots of overlanders are buying these adventure bikes as add-ons for their rigs. They鈥檒l find a remote camping spot, set up their truck with all its accessories, and then jump on their Super 73 to explore, or even run back into town for groceries. Without something like the 1UP rack, overlanders have had to stuff their adventure bikes into vans and truck beds, or build custom racks.

Additionally, the Super Duty is compatible with what 1UP calls a wheel chock, a v-shaped device that slots into the tray and holds the front wheel of your bike as a third point of contact. I loved this because during my testing I carried expensive carbon bikes up a series of gnarly, off-grid roads that had my truck bouncing around to the point where my family threatened to get out and walk. The normal arms kept my bikes in place, but the wheel chock was a nice piece of insurance. I like knowing that no matter how much time I spend bouncing on a dirt road, it鈥檚 almost impossible for my bike to fall off.

Another smaller but important update is the one-handed arm adjustment feature. Other 1UP racks require two hands to open the arms on the tray, but the Super Duty allows you to open the arms one handed so you can keep your other hand on your bike.

Like all 1UP bike racks, the Super Duty was effortless to install. It slid into my two-inch hitch, I decided how far I wanted it to sit from my tailgate, and I tightened it down with a couple of twists of the included wrench. Over several thousand miles of driving, including several hundred miles of dirt roads, the hitch is still as secure as when I installed it and there isn鈥檛 a milliliter of wobble. I鈥檝e tested many other bike racks from big-name brands, and all of them have eventually come loose, so it鈥檚 an absolute pleasure to not ever have to worry about the 1UP.

As you might guess, the Super Duty is not cheap. My double trays cost a hearty $900, and the single comes in at $600. But the saying 鈥渂uy once, cry once鈥� is as true as it comes here because this will be the last bike rack you鈥檒l need for years, if not decades, and will only become obsolete if bikes change in some crazy way. Knowing how good the Super Duty is at protecting your bike also takes the pain away as you drive around confident that your $4,000鈥攐r $14,000鈥攚hip is totally locked down and safe.

When we put together a pool of reviewers, we want people who adventure big but also live normal lives鈥攂ecause that鈥檚 our true audience (very few readers are running 100-mile races or summiting Everest). Enter lead watch tester Meg Healy. There鈥檚 no one better suited to deliver real-world reviews of a watch that can track all of your workouts while integrating into your 9-5. As a runner, dancer, cyclist, and world traveler, she鈥檚 as active as you can get without being sponsored, but she also lives in the real world as a mom, PTA volunteer, and soccer coach.

Healy has tested a batch of watches for 国产吃瓜黑料 over the past several years and says that the , at the moment, is her clear favorite. She鈥檚 now lived with it on her wrist nearly 24/7 for six months and found that, for her, the watch strikes the perfect balance of training coach and everyday companion.

Suunto Race

Testing Stats

• Test Locations:
  • New Mexico and Brazil
• Six months of continuous testing in a wide variety of activities:
  • 450+ miles of running and hiking with more than 40,000 feet of elevation gain
  • 100+ hours of yoga
  • 60+ hours of martial arts training
  • Hours of rollerblading, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, horseback riding, swimming, and more

Suunto Race Training Tracking Performance

Healy said the Race became her favorite workout companion for a number of reasons. First, the watch, which works with all the major satellite systems鈥擥PS, GLONASS, GALILEO, QZSS, BEIDOU, and on both L1 and L5 GPS frequencies鈥攇rabs a GPS signal faster than any watch she鈥檚 tested. That was important for Healy who’s always busy and wants her workout to start as soon as possible.

鈥淎s you can imagine, people like me who like to run don鈥檛 like to wait,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a pain to be waiting around on your doorstep, or at a trailhead in the wilderness of the Brazilian jungle before you can head out. But I never had that problem with the Race.鈥�

She also loved the watch鈥檚 ability to track a wide range of activities. With other watches, Healy couldn鈥檛 always find the appropriate activity tracker for what she was doing, given her interests are as diverse as horseback riding, yoga, and martial arts. But the Race, which tracks nearly 100 activities, never left her hanging. Plus, on a day when she might do three or four different workouts, or a month where she does eight or 10 different activities, the watch kept up and, via the Suunto app, succinctly reported her overall fitness and provided useful feedback.

鈥淚 loved seeing that no matter what I was doing, there was clearly a time during my day when I felt best and had the best pace, no matter what,鈥� she said.

Most of the time Healy knew where she was going on her runs, but she still appreciated the Race鈥檚 ability to download offline topo maps specific to where she was adventuring. Using the app, you can set a route that the watch will follow on screen and offer turn-by-turn instructions. If you get lost, the watch will point you back to wherever you started.

The battery on the Race is so good that Healy pretty much forgot about it. She estimates that she only charged it once every 10 days. According to official stats, Suunto says the watch will last up to 26 days if just used as a regular watch and give you up to 40 hours of continuous use with every tracking metric turned on. Or you can go for five days in 鈥淭our鈥� mode in which the GPS is tracking with lower accuracy.

Healy wore the watch at all times (except for the rare occasions when it was charging). She used the watch to track her sleep and said integrating that data into her overall fitness picture proved to be useful, helping her identify which days she was ready for a bigger and more taxing workout. (She did, however, say that the sleep tracking was not as accurate as some other watches she鈥檚 used, noting that the data occasionally said she was awake during times when she knew she was asleep.)

The only other problem Healy ran into with the watch was when she tried to track her blood oxygen. It鈥檚 not a metric she regularly monitors, but her dad had to check his for medical reasons so she decided to try the feature on the Race. Too often, however, an error code popped up saying it couldn鈥檛 provide any info.

Suunto Race Everyday Performance

Healy is 5 foot, 5 inches tall, and fit, so the 1.43-inch high-definition AMOLED screen sat a little big on her wrist (she might be more comfortable with the 鈥淪鈥� version that has a smaller face). Nonetheless, she was glad to have all that real estate to display useful stats she鈥檇 check while working out. And over time she got used to the size and said it never got in the way when she was moving.

At night, Healy, who is light sensitive, liked that the watch could be set accordingly. When she raised her wrist to look at the screen, just a dim display of the time appeared rather than the full, bright screen. She also enjoyed using the watch as an alarm so that she didn鈥檛 have to sleep with her phone next to her bed, and found the flashlight feature helpful to navigate around the house in the dark.

Healy had nothing but praise for the watch鈥檚 durability. After months of using the watch hard without a care, she said it still looked almost new. 鈥淎fter looking this thing over I can鈥檛 see a single scratch on the face or a single mark on the body,鈥� she said. One minor complaint: Healy prefers lighter colors, so she wished the titanium version she tested came in a white instead of just a metallic or purple colorway. Suunto does, however, offer a number of bright wristbands to liven things up.

Finally, she appreciated the Suunto Race鈥檚 price point. The titanium version Healy tested costs $549, significantly less than the $839 you鈥檒l pay for the titanium and solar-charging top-of-the-line Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar or other comparable watches. For that extra money, the Vertical gets you a better battery life (up to 85 hours of continuous GPS use with solar recharging) and it鈥檚 made in Finland instead of China. Those differences are important, and will matter to some folks, but for many other everyday users, including Healy, they鈥檙e not worth the extra $300.

鈥淭he Race was everything I needed and it鈥檚 been an incredible training partner no matter where I鈥檝e been,鈥� Healy said.

It鈥檚 easy to be swayed by the sex appeal of a shell jacket. Waterproof, expensive, colorful. I constantly find myself lusting after the new Gore-Tex whatever. But then I kit up for any high-output winter activity鈥� backcountry skiing, running, hiking, cycling, etc鈥攁nd am reminded that midlayers are the backbone of winter layering, get triple the use of other pieces, and warrant a bigger investment.

That鈥檚 because unless it鈥檚 pissing rain, dumping snow, or freezing cold, my shell stays in my bag. A shell, even the most breathable, is just a plastic bag and will not vent your heat, whereas a breathable midlayer creates just the right amount of warmth but sheds excess heat while you slog down pavement or up a mountain. Midlayers also get extra use on warmer winter days when worn by themselves without a base layer underneath.

Over my 10-plus years at 国产吃瓜黑料 I鈥檝e tested well over 100 midlayers, out of which I鈥檝e found a few favorites for each of my winter sports.

If you buy through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission. This supports our mission to get more people active and outside. Learn more.

Best for Backcountry Skiing and Hiking

Black Diamond First Light Stretch Hoody

This has become my number one skiing and hiking midlayer because it鈥檚 light鈥攋ust 14.2 ounces鈥攁nd provides the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. A medium-thick layer of migration-resistant Primaloft Gold Active insulation keeps me warm even when temps hover around 10 degrees, but is also capable of dumping heat faster than anything I鈥檝e ever tested. On the outside, there鈥檚 a 20-denier nylon ripstop face fabric that鈥檚 tough enough to resist a tree branch but allows plenty of hot air to escape. Even if I鈥檓 absolutely pinned, with a heart rate above 160, I never feel the need to throw off the jacket on a cold day. The synthetic materials will also dry in minutes if I get sweaty.

Those who prefer wool to synthetic materials will love the , which has a similar warmth/breathability ratio, an amazing high-collar hood, and, like all wool, stays warm when wet and resists odors.

Best For Running

Path Projects Lomond Hoodie

I recently joined the Dukes Track Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the group run I love the most starts at 6 a.m. on Friday mornings. Temps are usually around 25 degrees, so I need more than a long-sleeve shirt but nothing so heavy it will gather heat and slow me down. My go-to has become this hoodie. The secret to the hoodie鈥檚 versatility is in the 180 gsm (grams per square meter) grid fleece that鈥檚 heavy enough to add warmth in sub-freezing temps, but comes with lots of perforations (thus the grid moniker) that are designed to let all the heat and sweat generated on the run find an immediate way off my skin and into the air. I usually use the hood at the beginning of my runs but then it comes off and just serves as a neck warmer.

Those who live where it鈥檚 really cold should look at the that has a wind-resistant face fabric layered over 40 gsm Coreloft insulation around the shoulders and chest. The insulation is light, but combined with the fully wind-resistant outer and paired with a medium-thick long-sleeve base layer, it has been enough to keep me warm even when temps were below 10 degrees.

Best for Cycling

Velocio Alpha Long Sleeve

The first few minutes of a cold bike ride are the worst because you鈥檙e not producing heat yet but are moving at speed so the cold wind has more bite than when you鈥檙e running or standing. To fight back I wear a windproof cycling vest matched with this cozy midlayer that鈥檚 a high-loft Polartec Alpha fleece up front and a heavy-ish 210-gsm merino wool on the sides and back. The extra cozy Alpha keeps my core temp from dropping, while the arms and backs breathe enough that I鈥檓 not dripping sweat once I鈥檓 working hard. If I get too warm, it鈥檚 easy to shed the vest and unzip the collar of the jersey for more airflow. If my ride has a long descent, I also bring a full windproof jacket because the Alpha allows so much airflow I can get chilled.

When we started tallying up how many miles our group covered while testing watches, we ended somewhere around 4,000 miles. That鈥檚 like running and cycling from New York to San Francisco, then turning around and making it back to Nebraska. Throughout all those miles, a diverse group of testers鈥攆rom everyday moms and dads to former Olympic Trials athletes鈥攐bsessed over the features of a big batch of watches to find the very best.

Best Overall

Garmin Enduro 3

Weight: 2.2 oz with elastic nylon strap
Face Diameter: 51 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� Big but light
鈯� Phenomenal battery life
鈯� Feature rich
鈯� Strap is the most comfortable on the market
鈯� Pricey

After months of running and skiing, the Garmin Enduro 3 rose to the top of the test group and is possibly the best sports watch we鈥檝e ever tested, thanks to the feature-rich setup and a huge 51-millimeter screen.

The screen isn鈥檛 AMOLED, but while bright AMOLED screens beam workout info at you in ultra high-def, over years of testing we鈥檝e come to love non-AMOLED screens both for their less-glaring brightness and because they have a much smaller energy draw and allow for mind-boggling battery life.

Case in point: The Enduro 3 allows for up to 36 days of smartwatch use (where you鈥檙e just using the watch for notifications and other non-workout features) and up to 120 hours of GPS use. Throw in some solar charging and the watch will keep ticking for a reported 90 days of general smartwatch use (up from 46 days for the Enduro 2), and a staggering 320 hours (that鈥檚 13+ days) of GPS tracking. One tester said he went over a month between charges (longer during the abundant summer sun) with 24/7 daily use and about an hour of activity tracking per day.

In addition to tracking nearly every sport or exercise imaginable (as diverse as wakesurfing and rugby), the Enduro 3 also comes with plenty of space for downloaded maps plus turn-by-turn directions so backcountry skiers or trail runners will never get lost. I have several hundred songs downloaded, which has helped me stay motivated on long, grueling road runs. Plus, the elastic nylon strap is the most comfortable we鈥檝e ever used; not once did testers get a rash and they raved that the adjustability created the perfect fit.

A 10 percent reduction in weight between the Enduro 2 and Enduro 3鈥攐r about seven grams鈥攄oes not seem like a lot. But damn if I didn鈥檛 notice that it was the lightest 51-millimeter watch I鈥檝e ever worn, which made a big difference, even if just mentally, when covering a lot of miles.

Like other top-end Garmin watches, the Enduro 3 comes with an ultra-bright flashlight that was equally helpful when peeing at night as it was one evening when I had to navigate a dark section of trail and didn鈥檛 have a headlamp.

Garmin鈥檚 software interface is not as good as Apple鈥檚鈥攁nd likely never will be鈥攂ut it鈥檚 way better than what we鈥檝e seen from other competitors. Tester Jonathan Beverly found the mobile app鈥檚 daily dashboard that tracked both fitness progress and training readiness to be intuitive, accurate, and valuable. 鈥淲henever I ignored its recommendations to rest, I鈥檇 pay for it on subsequent days,鈥� he said.

Best for Runners

Coros Pace Pro

Weight: 1.7 oz with silicone band, 1.3 oz with nylon band
Face Diameter: 33 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� Small but mighty
鈯� The screen is beautiful
鈯� Fairly priced
鈯� Ultra-quick GPS location
鈯� Wake time isn鈥檛 immediate with arm rise

Back in college, Jesse Armijo ran the USA Olympic Marathon Trials. More recently he had a streak of winning the Duke City Half Marathon four times in a row. He鈥檚 currently training for the Black Canyon 100k Ultra in Arizona, and he organizes a youth running club for kids in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In other words, he鈥檚 a talented and dedicated runner and was the perfect tester for the Pace Pro, which bills itself as the smart choice for serious athletes (especially those who pound the pavement or trails).

Jesse put hundreds of running miles on the watch and found that it was an excellent training partner during every one of them. It picked up a GPS signal almost as soon as he stepped out of his house so that he could get up and go, and he liked the small 1.3-inch face that gave him all the info he needed鈥攊n a bright, beautiful AMOLED display鈥� without looking ostentatious (he鈥檚 a humble guy).

In high-quality GPS mode, the watch lasts up to 38 hours, which Jesse said was more than plenty, even for an athlete of his caliber who鈥檚 often out training 10 or 20 hours per week. He found the software reasonably easy to navigate and liked built-in features like the effort-pace screen. This feature allowed him to see an adjusted pace that factored in hills and compared how hard he was working to his historical performances with similar conditions and terrain.

Jesse is a new dad, so affordability is important, and at just half the price of the Enduro 3, the Pace Pro is something he鈥檚 happy to invest in. Our only niggle: Jesse wished the watch lit up its screen more quickly when he raised his wrist.

Best for Weekend Warriors

Apple Watch Ultra 2

Weight: 2.2 oz
Face Diameter: 49 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� The best interface on the market
鈯� Intuitive lifestyle functions
鈯� Lousy battery life

Category manager Jakob Schiller is not as hardcore an athlete as the other testers in this year鈥檚 group and found that the Ultra 2 was perfect for a weekend warrior like him. He loved how the watch integrated into his everyday life, allowing him to quickly answer texts with Siri, easily control his AirPods, and answer a call on the watch just by double-tapping his pointer finger and thumb. But he was also impressed with the bright screen, detailed stats for every activity from skiing to swimming, and the well-designed watch faces that presented data and info in smart, easy-to-read displays. 鈥淭he watch faces that launched with the Ultra 2 are not only a pleasure to look at but are also damn good at presenting both everyday and workout information鈥攑lus they鈥檙e easily customizable,鈥� he said.

This version of the Ultra is also carbon-neutral, and Apple is sharing the environmentally-friendly manufacturing technology it developed to help other companies build better products. Jakob, like everyone else, was disappointed, however, with the 36-hour battery life (with regular use, up to 72 hours in low power mode) but says he鈥檚 rarely away from a charger for that long, so it isn鈥檛 a deal-breaker.

Best for Small Wrists

Suunto Race S Titanium Courtney

Weight: 1.87 oz with silicone band
Face Diameter: 33.5 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� Versatile functionality
鈯� Tough as nails
鈯� Perfect for small wrists
鈯� Heart rate takes time to settle in

We鈥檒l be honest: Wearing a pro-model watch from Courtney Dauwalter is its own form of motivation. Just like wearing a pair of Jordans and being inspired by the GOAT himself, wearing Dauwalter鈥檚 watch always gave us a little extra motivation, channeling the strength that she used to become the first person, man or woman, to win the Western States 100, Hardrock 100, and the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc trail running races all in the same year.

Meg Healy was the principal tester, and as an ultra-fit woman who鈥檚 just about five-feet tall, she said the 45 millimeter form factor was perfect for her smaller wrists but never once lacked info thanks to the 1.32-inch screen that broadcast all the info she needed, no matter the workout. Healy, who loves to pack in multiple sports every day, said she also appreciated the wide variety of activity trackers built into the software that allowed her to keep track of everything from running to martial arts to horseback riding.

Healy鈥檚 favorite part, however, was that the watch restarted her workout when she resumed after a pause, even if she didn鈥檛 remember to manually do it herself. 鈥淭his saved me from not tracking large chunks of many bike rides, hikes, and runs after I’d stopped for traffic or to pick up after the dog,鈥� she said. The battery on the Race S is respectable, lasting up to 30 hours when talking to multiple satellites. You can get a less expensive steel Race S, but we loved the feathery weight of the nearly indestructible titanium.

One potential ding: Healy noticed that the heart rate monitor wasn鈥檛 accurate at times and had trouble settling in, especially at the beginning of a workout. I didn鈥檛 put as many miles in with the Race S as Healy, but had much better luck and found the heart rate to be as accurate as those of other watches.

Best for Everyday Use

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Weight: 2.1 oz for just the watch
Face Diameter: 37.3 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� Battery lasts multiple days
鈯� Delivers tons of information
鈯� Pretty on the eye
鈯� Just for Android users
鈯� Watch strap is sub-par

Ever since Apple and Samsung launched beefed up sports watches we鈥檝e been waiting for these companies to put other sports watch manufacturers out of business. It hasn鈥檛 happened because both Apple and Samsung have focused more on ultra bright screens, phone connectivity, and information delivery and less on battery life. That means everyone who鈥檚 running ultras or exploring for multiple days at a time is still very loyal to the likes of Garmin, Suunto, and Coros.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra, however, gives us a glimpse of what could be coming because it鈥檚 a big, flashy, daily watch that lets you track your workouts (from running and cycling to table tennis and orienteering), play music, control your thermostat鈥攁nd its battery actually lasts a couple days. Tester Andy Dean, who used the watch for over 1,000 miles, said he could track his bike commute to work in the morning, his run at lunch, and his bike commute home for two days without running out of battery. Samsung鈥檚 Galaxy Watch 7 couldn鈥檛 do that, nor could the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which didn鈥檛 get an update this year).

Those of you who can handle information displayed in your face all day will love the Ultra鈥檚 sharp 37.3-millimeter AMOLED screen with 480 x 480 resolution that beams your calendar appointments, bank info, and a wide array of workouts at you in high-def.

We recommend buyinga third-party watch band for the Ultra because the one that comes with the watch is, frankly, junk. Dean found it to be highly uncomfortable when it was synched down, even just slightly to get accurate heart-rate readings. The band鈥檚 silicone material also irritated his skin so much it forced him to leave the watch off for hours at a time, sometimes a full day.

Best for a Budget

Garmin Forerunner 165 Music

Weight: 1.4 oz with the silicone band
Face Diameter: 30.4 mm

Pros and Cons
鈯� Feature-rich for the price
鈯� Large music storage capacity
鈯� Bright, easy-to-read screen
鈯� Small and light
鈯� Battery life limited

For those of us who need a playlist to keep ourselves going when things stretch past 30 minutes, and can attest that Run the Jewels and Avicii sound great at the 45-minute mark, the Forerunner 165 Music stands out as a top training companion. Lower on the price spectrum at $300, it still comes with 4GB of music storage so we can jam for an entire workout. For that price you also get a bright AMOLED screen, accurate GPS and multi-band connection, great phone connectivity, and a comfy strap that didn鈥檛 chafe.

Meg Healy used the watch for multiple sports every day, putting in well over 1,000 miles. For her, the running metrics and coaching suggestions that Garmin provided were especially useful. Information about vertical ratio, stride length, and ground contact time helped her monitor her running form, and as a busybody she liked that the watch was not shy about recommending recovery days. 鈥淭his watch is like having an opinionated but indulgent nanny who thinks you are very talented and dedicated but always working too hard. Honestly, it feels kind of nice to have that support and feedback as an adult.鈥�

Garmin says the watch should give users 19 hours of GPS use, and Healy said she was able to get several days of use at a time before charging. But on one multi-day backpacking trip, she said the watch died, leaving her without metrics, and firming up her opinion that the watch is designed for everyday runners and cyclists and not multi-day adventurers. She also wished the activity menu included recreational sports like soccer.

How to Choose a Sports Watch

When buying a sports watch you need to decide who you really are. That sounds like some kind of spiritual question you鈥檇 ponder at a retreat, but it鈥檚 absolutely the best way to sort out what you need. Can you admit to yourself that you鈥檙e a weekend warrior because you have a job and family? Or are you totally in and going to the top as an athlete? Maybe you disappear into the backcountry for a week whenever you get the chance.

It鈥檚 necessary to categorize yourself because this will help you pick the watch that meets your goals. If your workouts are squeezed into lunch-hour work breaks, you don鈥檛 need a watch that lasts for weeks on end without charging. If you鈥檙e dedicated to really improving in your chosen sport, a higher-end watch with complex training options can be a real aid in achieving your goal. If you dabble in a variety of sports, you鈥檒l need a watch with a robust workout menu. And if you鈥檙e an adventurer who regularly returns from trips with torn apparel and broken equipment, you need to prioritize a bullet-proof build.

Next, make sure you play with the watch you think you want鈥攁t a local retailer, if possible, or borrow one from a friend鈥攂efore making a purchase. Spend time pressing buttons, and see how much effort it takes to find features and customize the watch to your preferences. All the top-end sports watches have menus that are fairly well organized, but each one is different. Little tweaks in how a watch allows you to access a workout or track data can be big motivators鈥攐r frustrations鈥攚hen you鈥檙e using the thing all day every day. Note: The menus used across a specific watch brand鈥檚 line tend to be similar, so even if you don鈥檛 find the exact model you want at your local retailer, you can still get a sense of how a brand organizes its software by playing with a different watch.

How We Test

• Number of Testers: 9
• Number of Products Tested: 12
• Number of Miles: 4,000+

Over the years we鈥檝e discovered that the best sports watch testers are adventurers who are absolutely obsessed with being outside, but come at their chosen sport without much of an ego. They love sport for sport and aren鈥檛 trying to prove anything. This balance is important because mild-mannered testers are great at digging into the features of a watch and providing in-depth feedback, but also know how to keep an everyday user in mind. There鈥檚 no mansplaining, or sportsplaining, in our tester group.

In terms of breadth, the watches we tested for this round traveled the country and saw the tops of peaks, spent hot days in the desert, and were with us during the day as our testers did everything from training troops and teaching kids to counting fish and coaching sports.

Meet Our Lead Testers

Category manager Jakob Schiller was a gear editor at 国产吃瓜黑料 and is now a columnist. The father of four kids and two dogs, he鈥檚 a bit pinned down but still manages to run, ski, or bike every day and loves a good weekend-long adventure in the woods chasing elk, peak tops, or fresh turns.

One of the routes Jakob used when testing sports watches:

Jesse Armijo is a PE coach and also founded the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Dukes Track Club, an all-ages organization that coaches kids and organizes a variety of races. He鈥檚 the most unassuming runner you鈥檒l ever meet and is more than happy to sit in the group but can put everyone in the ground if he turns on the burners.

Meghan Healy does data management for the publishing industry and is also one of New Mexico鈥檚 most high-energy athletes. She runs races, is passionate about martial arts, rides horses, cycles around town with her kids, helps coach soccer, and is the true definition of someone who benefits from a trusted, function-rich sports watch.

Next time you drive anywhere鈥攖o work, school, your local ski area鈥攃heck the tires on the vehicles around you and more than likely you鈥檒l see a set of BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrains (ATs) rolling by. Long loved for their performance and looks, the KO2 is the most ubiquitous all-terrain tire on the market, and for good reason.

Made to perform well in all conditions the KO2 has helped thousands of drivers plow through snow, mud, and sand on the way to their next adventures. Here at 国产吃瓜黑料 we鈥檝e hammered home many times that a quality tire is the most important upgrade you can make for off-road performance, and we鈥檝e always rated the KO2 as a good investment.

After 10 years of KO2 popularity, BFG , which moves the tire forward in several ways. I鈥檝e been testing the tires for months on my 2024 Tundra in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and also had the chance to drive them during an off-road adventure in Alaska. I鈥檝e been impressed with the performance over thousands of miles of pavement and every off-road condition imaginable. Whether tearing up muddy roads, crawling up high-clearance 4×4 routes, trying to park my car in deep snow banks, or cruising freeways at 75 mph, the KO3 has always felt like a good choice.

To learn how the BFG engineers took an already top-performing tire like the KO2 and made it even better, I sat down with two people who were instrumental in the design and launch of the BFGoodrich KO3鈥擝randon Sturgis, BFG鈥檚 global product manager, and Jon Jewell, one of the company鈥檚 product design and industrialization engineers. Sturgis and Jewell started the conversation by listing all the spots where they wanted to see improvement: wear, road noise, and performance on gravel, snow, mud, and wet spots.

Improved Durability

Better wear was a key focus for two reasons. First, the BFGoodrich KO3s are expensive so buyers want their investment to last. Second, KO3 buyers use the tires hard and don鈥檛 want them to fail because of uneven or fast wear. BFG made the KO3 15 percent more durable than the KO2 by using a new rubber compound and packing the lugs closer together to create a denser contact patch where they meet the road. The rubber compound is formulated for supposed to be better at absorbing the contact from the road, which creates less wear, and the denser contact patch reduces the stress on the individual lugs.

The KO3 comes with the same 50,000-mile warranty as the KO2, but thanks to the more durable build, the KO3 is rated for today鈥檚 increasingly powerful trucks and SUVs that put extra wear on tires鈥攍ike my Tundra.

With the explosion of overlanding in the U.S. and across the world, BFG saw that the KO2s were spending increased time on rough dirt roads. For the KO3s they wanted to cut down on what鈥檚 called 鈥渃hip and tear,鈥� where parts of the lugs get sliced by the gravel and eventually tear away, reducing the tire鈥檚 effectiveness and longevity. BFG鈥檚 new KO3 rubber compound allows for increased elastic deformation in the lugs so that they can conform to gravel in the road instead of getting shredded. The lug pattern is also designed so that no one individual lug takes a particular beating鈥攁ll the grouped lugs on each section of the tire work together to absorb the impact.

Sidewall durability is important on an all-terrain tire because sidewall punctures are pretty much impossible to repair. To ensure drivers don鈥檛 get stranded with the KO3, BFG built an extra-burly sidewall into the tire that uses technology from their Baja T/A KR line of tires that are used on high-powered, off-road race vehicles.

More Versatile Performance

Those of us who love to ski, or just enjoy exploring in winter, will be happy to hear that the KO3 improves snow traction thanks to a new sipe design. Sipes are the slits in the lugs that open as the tire makes contact with the ground, allowing the lug to bite into the snow. The sipes on the KO3 go the full depth of the lug, creating a large bite. Inside the sipe there鈥檚 an egg carton-like structure that keeps the two sides of the lug from deforming when it hits the road, enabling a better bite and more even wear that allows the lugs to last longer.

鈥淲e wanted to make sure we created a tire that performed just as well in the Texas summer as it does in the Canadian winter,鈥� Jewell said.

BFG makes a tire called the KM3 that鈥檚 designed specifically to excel in mud, but the multiple-use KO3 does amazingly well鈥攕omething I saw as we powered through puddles in Alaska. That鈥檚 thanks to a more aggressive lug pattern on the side of the tire and mud-phobic bars between the lugs that help release the suction that builds up when mud gets pushed in between the lugs so that it can fall out and the lugs can go back to biting into new mud down the road.

To ensure the KO3s stay planted on wet pavement, the lug pattern was designed to push water out of the way when the rubber meets the road. The new rubber compound, along with the sipes, also help create grip so that you can cruise down the freeway safely, rain or shine.

Reduced Road Noise

Since most drivers spend the majority of their time on pavement and don鈥檛 want to listen to a constant hum, BFG engineers created a pattern where not all the lugs hit at the same time, designed lugs that give off variable pitches, which creates a less ferocious noise, and tuned some lugs to cancel each other鈥檚 noise out. In my testing, I found the tires are louder than a regular street tire, but not by much.

All of this engineering takes time, of course, and Sturgis said BFG first started developing the KO3 back in 2015. The KO03 also builds on the 10-year run of the KO2, and the 15 year run of the original KO before that.

BFG tested the KO3 for years before launching. The ultimate test comes when they sling their tires on buggies and trucks running the Score Baja 500 and the Baja 1000鈥攖wo of the world鈥檚 most famous off-road races. They鈥檝e had a lot of success: Over the years BFG-equipped vehicles have won 35 Baja 500s and 343 Baja 1000s. The KO3s were used on the Baja Challenge 1000-winning buggies that won the 2022 San Felipe 250 and the 2023 Baja 1000. 2021, 2022, and 2023 Baja 1000 races.

I didn鈥檛 get to ask Jewell and Sturgis about when BFG plans to launch the KO4, or whatever iteration of the all-terrain tire they have up their sleeves next. They both, however, hinted that, as product people, they鈥檙e always watching how the current product is performing, then weighing that with the development of vehicles and how people want to adventure.

鈥淚 can tell you that ideation never stops, and at BFG we think there is no reason to not apply what we鈥檝e learned as soon as we can,鈥� Jewell said.

How We Tested Our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide

• Number of Testers: 6
• Number of Products Tested: 125
• Number of States Tested in: 7
• Tester Age Range: 30-75
• Highest Elevation Reached While Testing: 14,006 ft.

The best holiday gifts often fit in two main categories. The first category is: 鈥淎 gift that makes my everyday routine that much better. 鈥� The second goes something like: 鈥淭his is a gift I鈥檇 never splurge on, so it鈥檚 amazing that I received it from someone else.鈥� With those parameters in mind, we reached out far and wide to find gifts both big and small, expensive and affordable, and obvious and unexpected. A team of six testers put well over 100 products through their paces, and after weeks of testing and comparing, we came up with the final list.

For example, one of the products that made the cut under the 鈥渆veryday routine鈥� category was the Suunto Race S watch in our fitness category. Running tester Meg Healy loved how it was the perfect training watch that kept her motivated and updated all week long, no matter the length of her workout. Lead tester Jakob Schiller flew all over the country (Alaska, California, Seattle) with the Mystery Ranch Mission Rover 45 pack and was always impressed with how it was perfectly sized for a three-day trip, easily fit in an overhead compartment, and was comfortable to wear while schlepping through airports.

Presents that fell into the 鈥淚鈥檇 never buy this myself category鈥� included things like Sonos Ace headphones and Howl propane campfire in the tech category. The headphones, which are as much as a car payment, seem excessive, but you understand the appeal once you hear how they truly enrich every piece of music, from John Coltrane to Taylor Swift to Cypress Hill. A $1,300 gas campfire seems absolutely ridiculous until you stand next to one on a chilly fall night and realize that this new piece of technology is actually as warm as a campfire (if not warmer) and does a great job setting the vibe after dark.

Jakob Schiller

Over the past decade as an 国产吃瓜黑料 editor and then columnist, Jakob Schiller has gotten to know many UPS drivers by name thanks to the frequent stops at his house for gear drop-offs. He’s opened so many cardboard boxes he could start his own recycling facility, and his garage, as you might suspect, is a mess. But thanks to all that gear, Jakob and his family of six (plus two dogs) have been able to adventure around the world and visit many of the globe’s most beautiful spots. When he and his family are not on the road, they call Albuquerque, New Mexico home.
