The nostalgia is strong with this one. Star Wars fans may love to complain about Disney’s direction of the sci-fi franchise, but a new gear collection from Columbia proves that this fandom still gets the coolest stuff. Columbia has been putting out limited-edition Star Wars capsules for several years. It would be easy for the brand to just slap some Rebel Alliance logos on a jacket and call it a day. Instead, Columbia’s designers have tried to channel their own force powers and make something creative each year. They’ve put out ski gear inspired by Rogue Squadron jumpsuits, Darth Vader…

The Jack Wolf Knives train has once again pulled into Collaboration Station for a new fixed blade member of their J.W. Kollab series. The Fixedc is a user-first fixed blade designed by outdoorswoman, Naked and Afraid competitor, and media personality Melissa “Backwoods” Miller. Jack Wolf is a shop focused on pieces that can be carried and used on a daily basis, whether that piece be a locking folder, a modern slipjoint, or a good ol’ fashioned (and by “ol’ fashioned” we mean “rendered in thoroughly current materials”) fixie. When it releases later this month, the Fixedc will not be the…

There’s a parallel between an artist at an easel and a skier on a mountain slope. It’s where they express themselves and find new ways to be creative. Whether it’s a flourish of a brush, or a perfectly carved line, the end result isn’t so different. That’s the whole concept behind Blizzard’s 2025/26 Canvas collection of freeride skis. They were designed collaboratively by the entire roster of Blizzard athletes to be the perfect paintbrush with which to shred their artwork on the slopes. With monoprint topsheet designs created by Japanese–Australian artist Penelope Misa, these new skis aren’t just a way…

DeSantis Gunhide is releasing a variety of holsters designed to work with the new Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP .380 micro-compact pistol. The Hellcat OSP .380 is chambered for the popular and easy-shooting .380 ACP round, and this new version of Springfield Armory’s popular striker-fired pistol is designed to be an easy-to-shoot, optics-compatible micro-compact that blends defensive performance with easy concealment. The Slim-Tuck is a minimal ambidextrous IWB holster fashioned from Kydex. A unique feature about this IWB (inside-the-waistband) holster is that it uses a tuckable 360 C-Clip, which affords the wearer unlimited mounting options. The hardware can easily be reversed…

No wonder DECKED, the makers of workman-inspired truck bed drawer systems, liked him enough to sponsor him. “I do dumb stuff on my bike and get paid to do it,” Storch shrugs nonchalantly. This “dumb stuff” includes jumping out of perfectly good helicopters for cameras and ending up with a broken collarbone for his efforts. Or faceplanting after (kind of) landing massive jumps.  His injuries paid off, because he also earned his…

One of my favorite shows when I was growing up was MacGyver. Even as a teenager busy with school, work, and chasing girls, I made time for that show every week. Over the course of seven seasons, he used several different Swiss Army knife models, including the Spartan and the Tinker. I’d already had a Swiss Army knife for a few years before that TV show started, but it was because of MacGyver’s adventures that I started seeking out more of them. The Tinker was a particular favorite. It worked well enough when we were building forts and whittling sticks.…
