We gave the MTN Trainer Lite Mid a Gear of the Year award in our 2020 Summer Buyer鈥檚 Guide. Testers Berne Broudy and Jakob Schiller praised its versatility. 鈥淲ith true-to-size fit and a lightweight suede and mesh build that requires zero break-in, the MTN Trainer Lite Mid is at home on mellow hikes,鈥 they wrote. 鈥淎t the same time, the supportive cuff 颅and 颅颅semi-stiff sole excel on steep, rocky climbs and descents, with an aggressively lugged outsole that grips everything from kitty-litter scree to wet boulders.鈥

Cotopaxi Allpa Pack 42L ($220)

Contributor Janna Irons crowned the 42-liter Allpa the best travel pack in her Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best luggage. 鈥淚t held enough gear to get through four sweaty days and three cold nights in Joshua Tree National Park, and the clamshell design granted easy access to the four interior zippered compartments, which are great for separating clothes, shoes, and accessories,鈥 she wrote.

Dynafit Feline SL Trail Running Shoes ($130)

What shoe performs best on mountain trails? Buyer鈥檚 Guide testers Cory Smith and Lisa Jhung thought that distinction聽belonged to the Feline SL in 2020. 鈥淭he second iteration of Dynafit鈥檚 bestselling, performance-oriented grip master is perfectly suited to charging hard on short-to-medium-distance runs in alpine terrain,鈥 they wrote. 鈥淥ur wide-footed testers found the last a bit narrow, but everyone loved the aggressive 4.5-millimeter multidirectional lugs, which kept us at ease in rocky no-fall zones.鈥

鈥淎 perfect beanie is the cherry on top of a cute apr猫s look,鈥 wrote senior editor Kelsey Lindsey in her Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best women鈥檚 apre虁s gear of 2021. 鈥淥ur pick is the Vardag, made out of recycled polyester with a throwback logo that adds vintage flair. Despite frequent use during testing, it never lost shape.鈥

Grayl GeoPress Water Purifier ($90)

We featured the GeoPress in our Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best gear for self-supported bike missions. 鈥淭his two-part device purifies 24 ounces of water in seconds (four to five liters per minute) like a French press, while the inner bottle serves as water storage,鈥 explained tester Amy Jurries.

Smith I/O Mag Goggles ($270)

Winter Buyer鈥檚 Guide tester Marc Peruzzi loved the I/O Mag鈥檚 magnetic lens system, which features clips that lock the lenses in place. 鈥淯nlike a lot of ill-designed goggle tech, the clips don鈥檛 require an advanced degree to operate, and we were able to change lenses in just a few seconds,鈥 he wrote. 鈥淏est of all, there was no wind channeling or goofy lens dislocation.鈥
