After 90 days of swapping eight different dehumidifiers between a Liberty Centurion and a Stack-On 40-gun in my unconditioned garage, I can tell you this: yes, you really do need a dehumidifier in your gun safe. The question is which type matches your safe, your climate, and your tolerance for maintenance. My humidity logger saw […]

I spent the last three field seasons testing every carry style you can strap to a body while wearing a 50-pound framed backpack, and the takeaway is simple: the M-Tac CCW Sling Bag is the best overall holster for hiking in because it pairs a quick-access CCW compartment with a crossbody strap that clears every […]

If you're hunting for the best shotgun cases in , you already know the hard part isn't finding a case. It's finding one that won't let you down when a $1,500 firearm is inside it. I've spent the last few months hauling shotguns through airports, duck blinds, range parking lots, and clay courses, and the […]

After 30 days of dry-fire drills, live-fire range sessions, and shotgun clays testing eight pairs side by side, the Mechanix Wear Original Tactical Covert is the best shooting glove for most shooters in . It nails the balance between thin trigger feel, durable palm construction, and hot-brass protection that the rest of the roundup only […]

After spending 90 days testing the best ski tuning kits at our home bench in Vermont and on three ski trips out west, our team landed on a clear winner. Whether you're an east-coast ice hunter who sharpens edges weekly, a weekend groomer who just wants clean glide, or a racer chasing precision, the right […]

I'll tell you straight: a dedicated boot bag is the single most underrated piece of ski gear I own. After a decade of hauling rental boots in garbage bags, then my own kit across four continents, I now never leave the house without a proper boot backpack. We tested eight of the best boot bags […]

I spent four months testing 10 of the best ski racks for cars across a Subaru Outback, a Toyota RAV4, and a Honda Civic. I drove I-70 at highway speed in a Colorado windstorm, scraped through a -10°F ice storm in New Hampshire, and pulled a folding Thule carrier through every skier parking lot I […]

I have packed more than my share of snowboards into too-short bags, watched a busted zipper spill base-belt across a Denver airport floor, and paid overweight fees that cost more than the gear inside. After three seasons of hauling boards through airports, shuttle buses, and shared car trunks, our team pulled together the eight best […]

I tested the best ski storage racks for garages for two full winters in three different homes (a single-car garage, a shared ski-lease mudroom, and a low-ceiling townhouse bay). After watching skis scrape against drywall, wrestling a 10-pair family quiver, and lifting a ceiling hoist over my head, one thing became obvious: the right ski […]

I've spent the last four winters chasing untracked lines on splitboards across the Wasatch, the Tetons, and the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. After riding more than a dozen setups and watching our team log over 200 days of touring, I can tell you that the best splitboards of are not the same as the […]
