RxBars are made of just a handful of natural ingredients, one of which is egg whites for protein. The result is chewy and delicious. This particular flavor has only a hint of caffeine (five milligrams) for when you need a little pick-me-up.

The Gurkhali’s are one of gear editor Will Egensteiner’s favorite pants. They’re made with a blend of Dyneema, cotton, and Lycra, so they provide range of motion and durability. For those reasons, they’re a great fit for the office and the trail. “Pretty soon I’ll have no reason to change out of them,” Will writes.

The Traverse is an all-aluminum touring pole that’s durable enough for any day of backcountry skiing. Black Diamond’s FlickLock system makes adjustability easy and the ergonomically shaped grip and rubber grip extension feel natural when choking up while sidehilling on the skin track.

The Borod works great as a midlayer or light jacket for year-round outings. The gridded fleece interior keeps your skin cool and dry on high-output days, while trapping heat when it’s chilly out.

The Sonic Pro topped our list of the best waders for women. They worked well for testers with a variety of chest sizes; in general, testers found they fit "more like your favorite pair of jeans than the balloon-style waders of yesteryear."

Astral has long been our go-to brand for quality life jackets with bang-up features. The Layla is no exception, with a women-specific fit that allows more room in the chest; its slimmer front profile reduces chafing while you’re out on long paddles.

Showers are great—when you can take them. But it’s not always possible, so make sure you have a pack of these wipes in your kit. They’re extra thick but soft enough to use in the most sensitive places, and aloe vera and vitamin E moisturize as you scrub the grime away.

In 55 years in print, you must have had a  bad day or two. What has been the cause of your greatest frustration? Of course! But as always for me, these disappointments or problems helped me to "bounce back" with more experience. In 1968, the student and worker’s revolution and its consequences killed my first company, so I created a new one (more of this in my book). In 1978, I was a little fed up with the pressure of the management of a company and its constraints. I wanted to do only technical research and R&D, however a large order for art prints happened, that "forced" me to return to screen printing in art first, and then once more in advertising.

We love Topo Designs for their functional, well-designed packs, and the Rover is no exception. Great for both the trail and the commute, the Rover is coated with burly pack cloth and Cordura, and its brightly colored compartments keep your gear easily organized.

Smith’s first idea was to bundle several garments together in a bag, to reduce overall plastic use. As an experiment, she asked Everlane’s Los Angeles–based factory to put 50 T-shirts in a master poly bag. But once that bag reached the company’s warehouse in Pennsylvania, workers struggled to keep the shirts clean as they unpacked, shelved, and then shipped them out to customers. “[The shirts] go in crates and bins; they fall on the floor and the conveyor belts that aren’t super clean,” she says. “If a silk blouse falls on the floor in a distribution center, it’s gone.”
