If you've ever wondered what it would be like to swim through little caves and run around on the ocean floor, look no further. What's more, its filmed entirely on a Go Pro, further proving that you don't need a $5000 camera to make an awesome video.

An active lifestyle requires gear that can keep up. Many lightweight jackets fall short during active use due to a lack of breathability or poor insulation. Marmot’s Isotherm jacket available this fall features the new Polartec™ Alpha™ insulation, a lightweight knit synthetic fill designed for active use.

If the Scouts taught us anything it’s that the most important part any outdoor endeavor is preparation. Hit the trails with confidence this summer knowing our testers ran, skipped and jumped in all of this gear to find the best of the best. Here are some of our top picks for trails from our 2013 Running Gear Guide

Shane McConkey was a total legend. There have been many tributes to his memory, but none quite as nuts as this. Eric Roner (who you may know as a member of the Nitro Circus cast), a good friend of Shane's, decided he needed to upgrade his snowmobile game, but couldn't bring himself to just let his old one (which he bought from McConkey back in the day) collect dust or sell it to a random person.

So you’ve trained for months, even years, for your big race. And you may have changed your lifestyle, your body and even your mind in the process. But all that hard work and planning could be in jeopardy if you don’t have your last and possibly most important detail down- what you eat the night before.

Kiteboarding may not have too long of a history, but Sam Light is certainly leaving his mark. A pioneer of the sport, he's got it down both on the lake and in the ocean. Watch him catch massive air and through huge trick combinations.

These days, minimalist running shoes are all the rage. But when you’re out on the trail, feeling every rock, root and bump isn’t ideal and can be downright uncomfortable.

Luckily, Merrell designed the Women’s Proterra Vim Sport lightweight hiking shoe to provide a close-to-the-ground feel without compromising the stability and durability heftier options offer.
