Arc’teryx Beta Jacket
New for summer 2022 is the Arc’teryx Beta Jacket which is available in both a men’s and women’s version. The Beta Jacket uses Gore-Tex waterproof/breathable fabric with a Gore C-knit backer which is much quieter and softer than other Gore technologies. While the Beta Jacket is windproof it is also very breathable so it is ideal for those mid-summer downpours. The Beta Jacket is a high-performance premium hiking shell made for a wide variety of activities where mobility is key. With a trim fit it’s ideal for layering and packs down to a very small size so it’s easy to carry along in a pack, just in case! No three-season shell would be complete without a well-designed streamlined hood with single-pull adjustability as well as two backpack/harness-compatible pockets and an internal zippered pocket. Sorry, no pit zips on this version but who really uses them in summer anyways?
Features:- 3-layer Gore-Tex construction

Five Ten Trailcross Clip-in Mountain Bike Shoes
Five Ten is known for its super-tough mountain biking shoes and sticky climbing shoes and now they have created their first clip-in mountain bike shoe specifically created for adventure off the bike as well. Designed from the ground up, The new Trailcross Clip-in shoes combine clip-in pedal efficiency and hike-a-bike utility all with Five Ten’s Stealth Marathon rubber tread which adds high-friction grip on rocky trails. Less stiff than the pro edition, thanks to their mid-sole EVA technology, the Trailcross Clip-in Mountain Bike Shoes have a lightweight, breathable upper and cushioned midsole which maintains a comfortable amount of flexibility that helps with off-bike adventure. An impact-resistant toe box and abrasion-resistant overlays add durability while the hook and loop closure adds to the shoe's security and reduces heel lift. Five Ten also uses recycled content generated from production waste in the creation of the Trailcross Clip- in’s. This includes cutting scraps and post-consumer household waste which helps reduce the shoe's virgin content and also their environmental impact. Now clip-in pedal users no longer need to compromise when planning their next adventure—as Five Ten says, they can “Ride. Hike. Explore.”

Outdoor Research SuperStrand LT Hoodie Jacket
Not all summer days are hot and sunny, especially if you venture into the mountains, which is why you always need to pack along an insulation layer like Outdoor Research’s new SuperStrand LT Hoodie Jacket. This ultralight, packable warm jacket provides the best of both worlds of down and synthetic insulations. The SuperStrand LT Hoodie uses VerticalX SuperStrand Insulation which is where the jacket gets its name from. This 100% polyester insulation is as light, and lofty as 700-800 fill power down and mimics the way down insulates and feels. Synthetic insulation's downfall is often its ability to compress when stowed away in your pack, but the SuperStrand LT Hoodie Jacket is one of the most compressible synthetic down hoodies we’ve seen and packs down super small. The ripstop nylon outer fabric has a unique discontinuous quilting pattern that reduces stitching and looks great. The nylon is abrasion-resistant and protects against wind and light precipitation. This is an ideal outer layer or as a mid-layer under a shell if things turn colder—be sure to check it out.

Tecnica Magma S Mid GTX
Tecnica’s new Magma S Mid GTX is a super comfortable mid-cut hiking boot that delivers incredible grip and protection in a compact lightweight boot. The Magma's upper and footbed are pre-shaped to deliver a great anatomical fit with midfoot support and heel hold right out of the box. Their custom adaptive shape or C.A.S. allows you to specifically adapt to the Magma to your unique foot shape to help reduce the normal break-in time which increases comfort and decreases blistering and lack of precision. The Magma comes with a pre-moulded cushioned EVA footbed that is the secret to their great fit which typically quires no customization. It absorbs hard impacts on steep descents and the ESS shank controls the boot’s torsion in rough terrain. Along with this the boot’s last, midsole toe rocker, and unique rounded toe shape are all designed to enhance the Magma’s responsiveness, grip, fast acceleration, and transition in technical terrain. The multi-traction outsole tread pattern, which was inspired by MTB enduro tires, is made with Vibram Litebase technology and Megagrip compound rubber that optimizes grip on all surfaces whether dry or wet. This sole wraps the upper in high abrasion areas while providing grip, traction and durability on the underside as well as on the toe and sides without adding additional weight or bulk. If you want to take the Magma’s out trail running their 8mm drop is built for that while the Gore-Tex Premium upper materials and Gore-Tex liners provide the waterproofness and breathability over the entire boot.

Helly Hansen Rapide Lifaloft Air Jacket
Helly Hansen’s new Rapide Lifaloft Air Jacket comes out just in time for summer and is a highly durable jacket with innovative insulation that’s designed for those that play hard in the outdoors. Helly Hansen’s proprietary LIFALOFT™ Air 75g insulation is lighter and warmer than traditional polyester insulation because it features more air pockets and an open structure which increases moisture transfer away from the skin and maximum breathability during high output activity. And because it’s made with Helly Hansen’s Lifaloft technology it has an everlasting DWR which is infused into the 20 denier Nylon face fabric. This is the first time that Helly Hansen has woven their PFC-free water-repellent substances into the yarn instead of applying it as an after-coating. This means that there is no chance that the DWR will wash off or wear off — that means the Rapide Lifaloft Air Jacket will never require reproofing which saves even more water in addition to the chemicals and energy required during production. The Rapide Lifaloft Air Jacket is designed to take on any mountain adventures where you need a warm, breathable layer with unrestricted movement. The light and warm LIFALOFT insulation is covered in an extremely durable outer fabric that is water-repellent yet breathable. An under-the-helmet compatible hood, chin guard, hand pockets, and stash pockets, plus an adjustable bottom hem with a drawcord all make the Rapide Lifaloft Air a full features Jacket for him or her.

Arc’teryx Bora 75 Backpack
Far from the average bag, the Arc’teryx Bora 75 Backpack is new for Summer 2022 and is loaded with features and some pretty cool tech. Designed for load stability and energy-efficient carrying, the Bora 75 uses an innovative RotoGlide system which allows the hip belt to rotate independently of the backpack. This means the pack can move with you, and not against you, as you hike and climb which results in better balance and more efficient strides. You can also lock out the RotoGlide system for those times when you don’t want the pack load to sway or shift. At 75L the Bora 75 is the largest pack in the Arc’teryx line and thanks to its high-tenacity Cordura fabric, durability is second to none. With easy access to the pack’s main compartment either through the top or side and multiple external pockets and lash points for trekking poles or an ice axe, it is easy to keep your gear well organized. Arc'teryx calls the Bora 75’s lid the 'Weather Vault' due to its waterproofing, so you can confidently stow your important electronics and valuables. On the fit side, the GridLock harness, thermoformed Tegris frame sheet and aluminum stays provide all the adjustability and support you require for a custom fit. With impressive balance and carry comfort. The Arc’teryx Bora 75 Backpack is ideal for technical hiking and trekking.
Features:- Tegris back panel
- RotoGlide hip belt mechanism to stabilize loads
- Elastic hook clips for trekking pole/mountaineering axe
- Top Pocket extension for larger loads

Solo Stove Lite
Last spring we featured the Solo Stove Bonfire in our Best Summer Gear of 2021 piece here and this time around, for summer 2022, we are including the Solo Stove Lite, which is a much smaller and more portable version of its bigger brother, the Bonfire. The Lite is the original super-efficient, ultralight Solo Stove for those who want to keep things simple as they roam the mountains or enjoy car camping.

After leaving the stove’s upper vent holes, the heated air ignites creating a secondary burn that is hotter, more efficient and with significantly less smoke!

Gregory Baltoro 75 Pack
For Sumer 2022, Gregory has updated the design of their popular Baltoro backpack line and we got to take a closer look at the 75L version. At the heart of the Baltoro Packs and the Deva Packs for women is Gregory’s FreeFloat A3 system which allows the pack’s hip belt, shoulder harnesses, and lower back panel to adapt and conform to your body's unique shape. A patented FreeFloat hip belt system and auto-rotating shoulder harnesses move and flex with your body's natural walking movements, which make the pack more stable and comfortable to wear—even with heavier loads. In addition to this, all Baltoro and Deva packs have a ventilated AirCushion back panel that uses an odour-fighting mesh to help keep things fresh and dry on long hot backcountry adventures. The pack's body fabric is made from 40% Recycled Nylon & 420D High Density 45% Recycled Nylon, so not only are they durable but they are also less harmful to the environment. The Baltoro 75 Pack comes with all the features you’d expect, such as oversized zippered hip belt pockets, sideWinder bottle holster, a floating top pocket with a large zippered compartment, an internal hydration sleeve, and of course Gregory’s innovative QuickStow Sunglasses System on the shoulder harness which provides quick, secure and scratch-free access to your shades. One of the best features of the Baltoro and Deva Packs is their Front U-Zip access which provides unobstructed accessories to the main body of the packs. Unlike traditional top-loading packs, this allows you to find anything you need quickly and efficiently. The Baltoro comes in a 75L and smaller 65L version while the women’s Deva Pack is available in a 60 and 70L version. If you are planning a big hiking adventure this summer and need a new pack then be sure to consider the updated Baltoro and Deva.

Luno Air Mattress 2.0
Luno is a company that specializes in building products to make car camping more comfortable and convenient. Their products are custom designed to work in over 1,800 different vehicle types and provide a good night's sleep no matter what vehicle you own. Their Luno Air Mattress 2.0 is made for all sorts of cars, truck beds, and even the front cab of camper vans. The mattress comes with its own 12-volt air pump so set up is easy and fast. Built from durable 300-denier fabric the mattress is tough enough to withstand pets, pine needles, and everything in between and yet is super comfortable and can accommodate two people up to 6’2” in height. The Air Mattress 2.0 even comes with Base Extenders™ to fill the footwells behind the front seats of your car. This provides you with an extra 12 inches of sleeping area that other mattresses don’t provide. If you are travelling solo you can inflate just one side of the mattress or inflate both sides for two people. Adjusting the firmness of the mattress is also easy and independent so each person can choose their level of comfort for a good night's sleep.
Luno also makes a form Fitted Mattress Sheet that fits the Air Mattress 2.0 perfectly. This soft, technical fabric adds a layer of protection from abrasion and stains and is machine washable and easy to clean. It’s the perfect accessory to help protect the Air Mattress 2.0 and also provide a more comfortable night’s sleep. The Fitted Mattress Sheet retails for $89.99CAN / $69.99US and is a nice addition to the mattress.
Aside from mattresses, Luno also makes other car camping accessories to make life on the road easier. Their Car Window Screens are fabric window covers that allow airflow while keeping bugs out on hot summer nights. They also block UV rays and minimize direct sunlight so your vehicle will stay cooler over the day. Because the Car Window Screens are semi-opaque they also add an increased level of privacy while sleeping in your car. They retail for $64.99CAN / $49.99US for a set of two. The other car camping problem that Luno solves is where to put your shoes at night. Inside the car, your shoes bring in dirt and take up space, outside they can get wet—so Luno designed the Shoe Storage Bag. The Shoe Storage Bag fits all shoes including hiking boots, tennis shoes, and sandals and affixes to the exterior of your car with powerful magnets that are covered in a soft material so as to not scratch the paint. The Shoe Storage Bag keeps your shoes within arm's reach just outside the vehicle so they are handy when you have to go for that mid-night bathroom break. The Bag’s mesh bottom lets your shoes dry, drain, and air out overnight and keeps them up off the ground and away from critters. The Shoe Storage Bag retails for $64.99CAN / $49.99US and is so handy you’ll wonder how you lived without it.
Having been a car camper for the last 30 years I’m glad to see a company like Luno making durable products to make car camping easier and more comfortable. Gone are the days of retrofitting your camping mats to fit your car and suffering through a sub-par night's sleep because of it. Each of the Luno products above makes life on the road so much easier and pays for themselves after just a few uses given the high price of hotel rooms and campgrounds these days.

MSR LowDown Remote Stove Adapter
MSR’s new LowDown Remote Stove Adapter is a super handy upgrade for your canister stove that adds stability and security. It transforms your ultralight canister-mounted stove into a stand-alone non-tippy camp stove by getting the stove off and away from the canister. Your stove mounts on a low, wide and strong base that lowers its height for more stability on uneven ground. The foldout legs create a wide, stable base so your small stove can now support larger pots and pans with ease. The LowDown Remote Stove Adapter also has a remote valve and fuel line so the flame control is moved away from the stove and pot. This facilitates easier flame adjustments as you no longer have to stick your hand under a full hot pot and makes everything much safer as well. Made of strong, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the LowDown Remote Stove Adapter folds up nice and compact for easy stowing when not in use and only weighs 176g (6.2 oz). The LowDown Remote Stove Adapter is the perfect companion to MSR’s PocketRocket Deluxe Stove Kit. This is an ultralight/premium lightweight cook kit for 1-2 people featuring the PocketRocket Deluxe micro stove, 1.2 L hard-anodized aluminum pot with insulated grip, 28 oz bowl, Strainer lid, Mini LiteLifter pot handle, stuff sack, and room to nest a 4 or 8oz MSR IsoPro fuel canister (sold separately). Ideal for ultralight backpackers and minimalist bike packers, the PocketRocket Deluxe Stove Kit has a push-start ignition and a broad burner for more versatile cooking and simmering and consistently fast boil times. The included 1.2 L pot is the ideal size for boiling water or making coffee for two, while the included bowl allows a second person to eat/drink with you.

Sea To Summit Telos TR2 Tent
Sea To Summit has always been one of our favourite gear brands and for good reason, they always produce game-changing gear that is built to last and of the highest quality. The new Sea To Summit Telos TR2 Tent is no exception as it’s a very well-thought-out design and is loaded with features. Sea To Summit took what everyone knows a two-person freestanding tent to be and then brought that to the next level. The Telos TR2 Tent is an ultralight backpacking tent weighing in at just 1.67kg / 3lb 11oz but can be reduced to a scant 1.2kg / 2lb 10.3oz if you ditch just the rain fly and footprint; or even lighter still with just the fly in what Sea To Summit calls the “Hangout mode”. This creates a semi-open sun shelter ideal for taking respite from the sun and uses two ordinary trekking poles and the Telos TR2 fly and pole set. The Telos TR2 Tent was also engineered to have the most available interior space to accommodate two people sitting up. Thanks to the Tension Ridge Architecture which uses upward sweeping poles to increase overall head and shoulder room, as well as higher doors, easier access and more usable vestibule space. In order to keep interior moisture at bay, the Telos TR2 Tent uses Sea To Summit’s Apex / Baseline Venting system. This is a high-mounted vent at the tent’s apex to allow warm, moist air to escape while channelling fresh air into the tent. The Baseline Vent allows you to control humidity in wet conditions by opening or closing the lower portion of the door. Splitting the Telos TR2 Tent’s weight amongst those in your party is easy thanks to Sea To Summit’s Fair-Share Storage system. The tent packs up into three individual stuff sacks to allow you to split the load easily with two stuff sacks transforming into gear storage pockets and the pole stuff sack which has a translucent diffuser becomes a Lightbar with the addition of a headlamp. This helps effectively illuminate the inside of the tent without adding any additional weight. With two large D-shaped doors and two spacious vestibules, the Sea To Summit Telos TR2 Tent is easy to get in and out of, store your gear and has plenty of livable interior space. Its versatile design offers plenty of configuration options depending upon the weather and your adventure and you’ll always have plenty of airflow thanks to the Apex/Baseline vents. The Sea To Summit Telos TR2 Tent is also available in a 1 and 3-person configuration with the Alto TR1 and Telos TR3 Tents, so there's a size no matter your needs.
Features:- Tension Ridge Architecture - The poles of the Tension Ridge™ are swept upwards like the dihedral wing of an airplane – not angled downwards as is common in tents. This raises the tent’s shape, providing significantly more head and shoulder room, higher doors, easier access and more usable vestibule space
- Quick-Connect Pole Feet - Typical of Sea to Summit’s commitment to refining details to make gear frictionless and more functional, these machined aluminum clips make setting up the rainfly (either with the inner tent, or with a footprint in ultralight configuration) quick and easy. And they are far more durable than plastic buckles
- Fair-Share Storage / LightBar - Every Sea to Summit tent packs up into three stuff sacks to allow you to split the load easily. During setup, two stuff sacks transform into gear storage pockets, while the pole stuff sack (with a translucent diffuser) becomes a Lightbar™. Add a headlamp or two for soft illumination throughout the tent
- Apex Vent / Baseline Vent - Mounted at the highest point, Apex Vents allow warm moist air to escape and channel fresh air into the tent. The vent can easily be zipped shut from inside the tent and does not require mesh to retain its shape, significantly improving airflow. Baseline Vent allows you to control humidity in wet conditions by opening or closing lower portion of the door while maintaining vestibule function and rain protection for your gear

GSI Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove
GSI’s highly anticipated Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove is changing the boundaries of what a camp stove can be thanks to its rugged, compact and modern design. GSI spent 4 years designing the new Pinnacle Pro Stove to give us the thinnest, high-performance dual-burner stove on the market.

To aid in cleaning these supports rotate out of the way and the integrated non-stick coated drip pan catches any boil-overs or messes that may occur. Be sure to check out the new GSI Pinnacle Pro Stove when it’s available this spring as it will take your camp cooking experience to new heights.The GSI Pinnacle Pro Carrying Bag is a must-have accessory for the Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove as it protects it well when in transport and for storage.

Garmin fēnix 7X Solar
Less than two years ago we profiled the Garmin fēnix 6X Solar and now Garmin has released their latest multisport GPS watch—the Garmin fēnix 7X Solar. Available in three sizes, the Fenix 7S (for small) has a 42mm diameter screen, the Fenix 7 is larger at 47mm and finally the Fenix 7X at 51mm. For each of these versions, there are also three editions: standard, solar, and sapphire solar which results in 16 possible combinations ranging in price from $899.99CAN / $699.99US to $1,129.99CAN / $999.99US. The Fenix 7 offers the latest in Garmin wearable technology with the sapphire edition being the most feature-rich, including not just the more durable sapphire glass but also multi bang GPS and more storage. We got to test out the Garmin fēnix 7X Solar which has a long list of upgrades (listed below) over the Fenix 6X. The most impressive new features have to be the touchscreen display which allows you to swipe and tap options directly on the screen but this can also be turned off if you prefer the typical Garmin five-button navigation system. In addition to this, there is now a flashlight built into the front edge of the fēnix 7X Solar which has white and red led lights that can be set to pulse or shine at different intensities. There is also a new and improved Gen 4 Elevate Optical heart rate sensor, Multi-band GPS, and improved battery life thanks to the larger more efficient solar panel located on the screens bevel. The Fenix 7X also now has access to all world maps for free and a new Ski View that shows ski resorts and run names across the world. If you want to customize your Fenix 7X you can now configure the Fenix 7X watch directly from the smartphone app and you can also download apps from the Garmin Connect IQ Store directly on the watch, no need to do this from the smartphone app any longer. The Fenix 6X was a very impressive multisport GPS watch and Garmin has only improved upon this in the latest Fenix 7X version. Now easier to use with more features and options the Fenix 7X just keeps getting better and better. This is why it’s been our watch of choice for backcountry skiing and summer adventure and it should be yours too.

Costa Reefton PRO Sunglasses
Costa’s updated Reefton PRO Sunglasses use the seeds of the castor plant to create an oil which is used as a bio-based plastic resin instead of more traditional petroleum-based resins. By using this castor bio-resin in all of their plastic sunglass frames, and when combined with other technologies, this helps Costa reduce their overall carbon footprint and emissions. Durability and function are not compromised, however, and the Reefton PRO Sunglasses have superior clarity and scratch-resistance and stand up to long days on the water or in the mountain, where ever you chose to play. Their larger polarized and colour-enhancing 580 glass lenses provide an increased field of view and protection from the elements while providing superior clarity and definition. Built-in sweat channels and eyewire drains are designed to move sweat and water away from your eyes on hotter days while Hydrolite grip on the nose pad and earpiece along with the metal keeper slots in the arms help keep them on your face. The fully-adjustable, vented nose pad provides a customizable fit and helps reduce fogging while top hooding and side shields on the frame keep light from getting in your eyes. Named after an iconic New Zealand fishing town, Costa's classic Reefton Sunglasses are now the Reefton PRO Sunglasses and better than ever.

Hydro Flask 20L Carry Out Soft Cooler
Why lug around a heavy hard cooler when a soft cooler provides impressive cold retention for a fraction of the weight. Hydro Flask’s new 20L Carry Out Soft Cooler uses a lightweight cold-retaining technology that has thicker insulation in the base of the cooler where cold dissipates faster. The fact that the Carry Out Soft Cooler keeps things cold for up to 24 hours and weighs only 1.14lb / 2.52lb is a testament to Hydro Flask’s motto for the cooler: “Colder. Longer. Lighter.”. At 20L in size, the Carry Out Soft Cooler is perfect for a car camping outing or a day at the beach (since it can carry 38 cans without ice), if you find that you don’t need this much room, however, the Carry Out Soft Cooler also comes in a 12L version with all the same features, just in a smaller volume size. The cooler’s top zips wide open for easy access and quick cleaning while the exterior stash pocket is ideal for smaller items like a bottle opener, phone and car keys. The durable design uses a 600 denier fabric that is durable and water-resistant, while a compression moulded lid and base provide added stability and toughness. Sturdy carry straps and a removable cross-body strap provide a few easy carry options so that the Hydro Flask 20L Carry Out Soft Cooler is easy to take along anywhere. Reasonably priced at just $99.95CAN / $89.95US, the Carry Out Soft Cooler won’t break the bank like those other brands and will provide a well-built and fashionable addition to your summer food and beverage plans.

Rudy Project Protera+ Bike Helmet
Rudy Project’s new Protera+ Bike Helmet is chock full of technology starting with the ability to cast the external polycarbonate outer shell directly during the injection stage of the expandable polystyrene (EPS) impact-absorbing foam.

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar
Like the Fenix 7X that we’ve also included on this list, Garmin’s newly updated Instinct 2 is a multisport GPS watch that gets a battery boot thanks to the solar integration. The Instinct 2 comes in two versions the Instinct 2 which is 45mm in diameter and the smaller Instinct 2S version which is 40mm in size. There is also a standard and solar edition for each of these, the solar will cost you an additional $130CAN / $100US if you choose to go that route but it also comes with Garmin Pay, which the Standard edition does not. In total there are over 240 bezel and band design combinations for the new Instinct 2. The software update on the new Instinct 2 watch is substantial and now offers most of the features that the much more expensive Fenix 7X offers—except of course for the colour touch screen display and music storage and playback. The Instinct 2 Solar’s biggest feature is its ability to have virtually unlimited battery life in smartwatch mode with a few hours of sun each day thanks to the integration of increased battery and solar capacity and efficiencies. There is also a huge increase in sports profiles available on this new version of the Instinct as well as the addition of Connect IQ so you can now download watch faces, data field, and widgets directly from the watch. This is made possible by the Instinct 2’simproved screen resolution which is now 176 x176 pixels, up from 126 x 126. There is also new compatibility with 3rd party sensors and a new and improved Elevate Gen 4 Heart Rate Sensor with increased accuracy and features just like the one found on the more expensive Fenix 7 Watch. And like the Fenix 7 you can now configure most settings on your phone and wirelessly update them via Bluetooth and the Garmin Phone App to the Instinct 2 Watch. Like the Fenix 7 watch the new Instinct 2 is an impressive upgrade to an already tech-heavy watch, so if you are looking for one of the best multisport GPS watches on the market and don’t want to break the bank then take a look at the new Garmin Instinct 2 Solar.

ZEAL Red Cliff Sunglasses
Zeal’s Red Cliff Sunglasses are large wrap polarized sunglasses that use a plant-based frame material called Z-Resin. Derived from castor plants, this bio-plastic is a durable lightweight alternative to plastic which means that the Red Cliff Sunglasses are petroleum-free and have a reduced carbon footprint. They also use Ellume bio-based high-purity polarized lenses which use a plant-based polymer and provide crisper, clearer vision. Beyond their innovative materials, the Red Cliff Sunglasses have hidden spring hinges and oversized ProFlex nose pads to keep them in place all day long. The triple-injected frames add subtle pops of colour and fun to these fashionable yet functional shades. If you are looking for a pair of equally good shades that provide the benefit of photochromic lenses then you should consider the Zeal Morrison Sunglasses. With a little more subtle style and less of a full wrap, the Morrison shades are equally as functional and fashionable but the lenses change as the lighting conditions do. Thanks to Zeal’s Auto-Sun technology you get a single lens that is both photochromic and photochromic which means you can ride from forest to sunshine and paddle the lake all with this single lens. With a medium fit in Burnt Whiskey, Conifer, and Matte Brick colours the Morrisons will set you back $269.00CAN / $229.00US.
