Ski and snow gear lists
Make skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and winter running more comfortable with this checklist of recommended snow gear for different conditions—for downskill skiers, snowboarders, backcountry skiers, cross country skiers, winter running, and snowshoers of all skill sets and destinations.
Water bottles are vital to keeping us hydrated outdoors- whether it’s for a day hike, a camping trip, or backpacking. We tested wide mouth Nalgenes, collapsible, glass, and vacuum insulated bottles from Yeti, Hydro Flask, and Klean Kanteen and more, comparing 17 bottles side-by-side.
We reviewed 27 men’s ski jackets to find the 7 best hardshells, backcountry, insulated, 3-in-1, sub-$350, and waterproof coats. Here are our top rated winners.
We tested 50 lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight men’s and women’s base layer tops over four years. We put these base layers to work, and came out with the best base layers for warmth, durability, comfort, and ability to wick away sweat and odor over time.
