Outdoors and Camping

The new Hotomobil Atlas Cabin Box is similar to a few concepts and products we've looked over in the past few months, but it ultimately pulls together a full-bodied pickup camper and a rooftop tent in a way we don't recall seeing before.

Ecno Evil takes a swing at the hardcore off-road camper market from different angle. It strips its Unit-1 trailer down to the bare minimum and focuses on exuding the motto "rugged is not a look; it's a test." And it hits a low price point to boot.

The newest take on the performance sports exoskeleton, the Irmo M1 brings a multi-sensor AI system that automatically adjusts output based on the terrain ahead. It's like an adaptive automotive suspension, only for legs instead of wheels.

The new E13 shrinks down Escape Trailer's rock-solid fiberglass camper construction to 2-sleeper+ size, creating a tiny habitat that tows and stows with ease. Escape offers a baker's dozen color options ranging from ultra-bright to 3 shades of grey.

So many rooftop tents on the market weigh well over 100 lb. The all-new Weekend from Groenberg shatters that mold and weighs in at a fraction of those figures. And for a limited time, it also prices in at a fraction of the competition.

After a rather slow 2024, 2025 saw more multitool debuts than we could keep up with. Our favorites included a reimagining of Leatherman's most popular, a skeletal Swiss Army knife, and a Gerber campsite classic that starts fires.

Mammoth is officially launching its pop-top rooftop shelter, but you won't hear it called a "tent." The miniature SKL shelter doesn't have a shred of canvas, relying instead on aluminum walls and integrated battery power to live like a tiny RV pod.

Scamp might not be quite as celebrated as Airstream, but it is a similarly iconic camping trailer brand. The all-new Scamp X is the company's first off-road-specific model in more than 50 years in business, putting a new twist on a classic.

Nike's new Lava Loft Down Jacket uses a rather unconventional solution to solve a common problem, interspersing wide open vents between baffles of ultra-warm down to react to the massive weather shifts a trail runner can experience.

Alphago's stretched, oversized The Cube glamping tent features an air tube frame designed to inflate within minutes at the push of a button. Want to make a cube city? Simply zip multiple tents together into a sprawling air-beam compound.

We've heard of off-grid toilets that macerate, compost, incinerate and electro-wrap. We even stumbled on one that "super-composts." We guess we should have expected one that turns pee into a fine fog ... but we did not. Inspired or insane?

After a couple of successful crowdfunding campaigns over the past year, Hong Kong-based EDC brand Eck Studio is back at it with a versatile little tool that's perfect for outdoorspeople and DIY enthusiasts who need different kinds of blades to hand.
