We love 'em. They allow us to get outside and blaze trails all winter long, no matter how much white powder covers the route. Indeed, we're convinced they're an essential piece of gear every outdoorist should keep in their closet. But with so many options to choose from (and so many price points!), how can one possibly be convinced they're getting the best snowshoes for the money? We recently tested two pairs of snowshoes from MSR and will help you map out the differences, plus answer some of your burning questions, like what snowshoes to buy, if expensive snowshoes are worth it, or which MSR snowshoes are the best of the best. Read on.

And we've spent enough time exploring Europe now to definitely have our favorite spots for outdoor adventure. So if you're headed to (or located in) mainland Europe, definitely check out these routes, which might just be some of the best hiking trails in Europe (they're at least some of our faves so far).

And as such, we've explored nearly every corner of the wide and wonderful landscape known as the U.S. Along the way, we've found some magical trails (including paddle trails) from coast to coast (including in Hawaii and Alaska). Naturally, there are millions of trails around this massive country, and we obviously haven't hiked even close to all of them. We haven't even hiked in every state (though we've been to almost every state)! But of the places we have laced up our vegan hiking boots, these are some of our favorite hikes in the USA!

And there may be no more impactful piece of gear than the (not so humble) daypack. After all, it accompanies you on all your hiking–maybe even biking or travel–adventures, holds your 10 essentials, and gets carted onto mountain, desert, and coastal trails. It will probably be with you for years if not decades (if you're taking care of it and repairing it, of course), and gets caked with not only dirt, but memories. So choosing the right one–and one that's kinder to the planet–is an important decision. Fortunately, we've tested a whole bunch and these are the best daypacks in our opinion (that are also highly sustainable).

So allow me to introduce you to the Suunto Vertical, our favorite new GPS watch.

Like, a lot. So it takes quite a bit to impress us these days. But when we got ahold of one of the new Peak Design Outdoor Bags and Outdoor Slings that just launched on Kickstarter this month, to say we were impressed might have been a bit of an understatement. Check out what we thought of them and whether we think you should back them.

Which might lead one to believe it should be avoided at all costs for any and every outdoor adventure. But is that really the case? Should you truly avoid it at all costs, or can it sometimes be the right choice for hiking, biking, or other outdoor activities? We'll dive into the pros and cons of hiking in plant-based fibers like cotton, bamboo, and hemp so you can make the right (and the safe) decision.

It's far more sustainable to own one item that can do five things well than five items that each do one thing well (also, it makes more room in our closet to store luggage...). So when we learned about the Vivobarefoot Magna Lite WR SG, a minimalist barefoot hiking boot billed as sustainable, lightweight, water-resistant, ultra-flexible, and hyper-versatile, we were intrigued. So we tested them out to see if they lived up to the hype.
