6 TECH GUIDE 2017 MEN’S HEALTH


Big Agnes Krumholtz


UL2 mtnGLO


BEST FOR


High-voltage camping trips


Not everyone goes hiking to


disconnect. When Big Agnes


collaborated with solar luminary


Goal Zero to create a high-tech


tent, the result was the two-


person Krumholtz: LED lights


are stitched into the seams,


an interior fan keeps you cool


on summer nights, and a solar


panel can charge up any of your


USB-enabled devices. So go


ahead, Instagram that sunset.

Feed Your Lust for Adventure


Yeti Hopper
Flip 12
BEST FOR
Nature tailgaters

When you and your
old man are headed
out to the lake for an
afternoon with a pair
of six-packs, the Flip
is the perfect third
wheel. It’s remarkably
rugged and plenty
efficient at keeping
your brews frosty. The
leakproof cube can
keep ice from melting
for an entire weekend!
$280, yeti.com

Altra Lone Peak
3.0 Neoshell Mid
BEST FOR
Fast hikers

The running shoe
innovator Altra
earned its trail cred
with wide-toebox,
zero-drop shoes for
efficient runners.
This is the company’s
SUV: It’s still zero-
drop, but the upper
is constructed from
a new waterproof,
breathable fabric. It’s
ideal for fast-paced
hiking. $160, altra.com

Eddie Bauer
Flying Squirrel
BEST FOR
Old-school campers

We love the zipperless
design on this sleep-
ing bag, which Eddie
Bauer designed as a
lightweight, compact
option for its guides.
The button closure
proved so popular
that the company put
it into wide release.
Ideal for nights when
the mercury won’t fall
below 40ºF. $240,

JetBoil
Genesis System
BEST FOR
Backcountry feasts

You may never set
foot out of base-
camp if you’re cook-
ing on this incredibly
efficient dual-burner
stove. The set includes
a ceramic coated
nonstick frying pan
and a 5-liter pot that’s
designed for quick
heating. Everything
nests compactly for
easy transportation.
$350, jetboil.com

The 29-square-foot
floor is right in
the sweet spot for
two-person tents;
the 39-inch ceiling
is higher than most
tents in its class.

The 7-watt solar
panel clips on top
of the tent where it
can capture a full
charge in three
hours. The cord
snakes in through a
waterproof port.
