Bell Helmets took many of the same features from its popular XR Spherical helmet—including its “Deep Road” fit, ample venting, Fidlock buckle, Ionic+ antimicrobial comfort padding—to build the Falcon family of bike helmets that are both utilitarian and economic. Constructed with integrated Mips Evolve technology, these helmets were designed for day, night, dirt, pavement, and any two-wheel adventure you can throw at it. When the Falcons are released in January, they will include the Falcon XRV (with a visor) and Falcon XR (without a visor). The Falcon family’s features and options will perform in all conditions, making these helmets truly a one-and-done solution for your ride. Click here to learn more.
Bushnell recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the advent of the laser rangefinder for hunters. To commemorate that milestone, Bushnell has unveiled the Broadhead Laser Rangefinder, the most precise laser rangefinder of its era. At its core, the Broadhead is tailored around short-range accuracy for archers who need to know exact distances. The Broadhead’s 0.3-yard accuracy has been tested to deliver consistent ranges on any target, such as 3D targets and animal hides, regardless of lighting or reflectivity. And combined with +/- one-degree angle accuracy, it leaves no doubt about a bowhunter’s precise range to target. Click here to learn more.
CamelBak knows you want to spend winter days shredding down the slopes, not worrying about your water supply, personal items, food, and more.

All three packs can carry your helmet and the two larger packs, SnoBlast and Powderhound, also can carry your skis or snowboard. CamelBak’s new SnowShield technology is built into the body of all packs, keeping your pack—and all its contents—clean and dry.

Camp Chef has kicked it up a notch—yet again—with the release of its Woodwind Pro, a new wood pellet grill that speaks to control freaks and carefree cooks alike. If your dream grill includes more smoke and more bold flavor, then you’ll love playing around with the newly invented Smoke Box, which allows you to cook with wood pellets, wood chunks, wood chips, and even charcoal, and use the damper value to tailor your heat output. Try your hand at new methods such as cold smoking using the Fan Only Mode. Want something a little more casual? Simply fill your hopper and fire it up the pellet grill for that signature mild smoke taste. Click here to learn more.

Stone Glacier’s newest tent, the Sky Solus, is an ultralight, four-season, freestanding shelter specialized for the solo alpine hunter.
