Highlights:

• Thrilling two-up sprint with Matthew Wilson sees Keegan Swenson ride to his sixth straight win at the Race Across the Sky
• Melisa Rollins bounces back from injury at the start of the season to take first place in the women’s race
• Swenson extends his Life Time Grand Prix Series overall lead by 19 points.
• Sofía Gómez Villafañe retains her Series lead, just three points ahead of Cecily Decke

Leadville, CO (August 15, 2026): Keegan Swenson and Melisa Rollins triumph in the 2026 edition of the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik. Swenson storms to sixth-straight win while Rollins is crowned Queen of Leadville for the second time in her career.

Keegan Swenson beat Matthew Wilson to the line in a close two-up sprint after a tactical masterclass. Though Swenson held the lead at mile 42 approaching the Columbine climb, Wilson stayed close with the chase and caught him. After the descent, a seven-rider lead group formed, including John Gaston (who is not part of the Life Time Grand Prix Series), Bradyn Lange, Cole Paton, Simon Pellaud, Andreas Seewald, Swenson, and Wilson.

Gaston and Swenson went clear of the group at mile 86, establishing a one-minute, 48-second gap, but were ultimately brought back by Lange and Wilson, who joined the now-leading group of four riders.

Wilson put in the final attack of the day, taking Swenson clear of the group and going to the line with the six-time champion. Behind them, Lange edged Gaston to the line for third and fourth, respectively, with Andreas Seewald crossing the line shortly after to take fifth place.

In the women’s race, Cecily Decker showcased her strength early on, taking the lead alongside Sarah Lange over Carter Summit. Behind her, a chasing group featuring Hayley Preen, Lauren Stephens, and Alexis Skarda chased a one-minute gap. Melisa Rollins led the chase after fighting back from a crash in the opening miles.

Rollins dug deep, eventually closing the distance and catching Decker after the Columbine descent to set up a head-to-head battle for the lead. However, just as the battle for the lead intensified, Decker suffered a heartbreaking puncture, which allowed Rollins to solo to her second Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB success. Lauren Stephens secured third place, followed by Sarah Lange in fourth, with Hayley Preen rounding out the top five.

Women’s results:

1. Melisa Rollins (5hr 58min 43sec)
2. Cecily Decker (6hr 3min 30sec)
3. Lauren Stephens (6hr 10min 14sec)
4. Sarah Lange (6hr 10min 41sec)
5. Hayley Preen (6hr 21min 51sec)

Men’s results:

1. Keegan Swenson (5hr 20min 26sec)
2. Matthew Wilson (5hr 20min 26sec)
3. Bradyn Lange (5hr 20min 50sec)
4. John Gaston (5hr 20min 51sec) (not part of the LTGP)
5. Andreas Seewald (5hr 21min 45sec)

Men’s race winner, Keegan Swenson, said:

“It was a hard race today, particularly toward the end when we were ripping. The course changed how I raced, as we only had St. Kevin’s and Columbine climbs; it made for a very tactical race, but I was mentally ready.

“I had a small gap on Columbine, so I thought it would be best to wait for the other guys, roll with them and figure it out at the finish. It was a good day and fun to have a different race, and after the fire, I was stoked to be here.”

Women’s race winner, Melisa Rollins, said:

“I’ve had a lot of practice at resilience this year; this race is so special for me and my family, so I was never going to give in. The fact that we even got to have a race, so I felt it was my duty to really put it out there for all the people who could put the race on.”

What Is a Zenbivy Bed?

A quilt. A sheet. A mattress. Maybe a pillow. That’s it. Zenbivy delivers warmth and comfort in a setup as simple and familiar as the bed you left at home. They sell a variety of systems, from Ultralight, Light, Core, Overland, and even Double Beds.

Overland Beds

Our Most Luxurious Beds

The ultimate car camping beds. Made entirely from our legendary soft, home-like 50D Pongee fabric, the Overland beds deliver unmatched comfort for car camping.

50D Pongee – Overland Beds are built entirely out of our legendary 50D Pongee fabric. It’s luxuriously soft and has a similar feel to a sheet you would use at home, bringing a familiar kind of comfort to camp.

650+ FP Down – Our premium 650+ FP down is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) compliant and provides the best bang for your buck.

Synthetic – Built for warmer nights, tighter budgets, and personal preferences, we’ve used a polyester synthetic blend that’s as soft as it gets. So soft, in fact, you’ll swear it’s down.

Ultralight Bed

Ultralight. Supremely Comfortable.

The Zenbivy Ultralight Bed is the most comfortable and full-featured legitimately ultralight backpacking sleep system out there. With soft featherlight fabrics and patented comfort features that are inherently light, it turns out ultralight can be ultra-comfortable.

• 10D Pertex® Quantum – Other backpacking quilts use thin fabrics that cling to you like plastic wrap in damp or warm conditions. To maximize comfort, Zenbivy Ultralight Beds use premium “full-dull” 10D Pertex® Quantum. Feather-light and soft to the touch, it’s fabric that feels like fabric, not a trash bag.
• Lightweight Clip Attachments – Our color-coded clip closures are nearly weightless, proven draft-free, and practically disappear when you’re using the quilt on its own.
• Half-Length Sheet – The Ultralight Bed features a minimal half-length sheet to cut maximum weight while still delivering the draft-free, constriction-free night of sleep you expect from Zenbivy.
• Adjustable Fit – Zenbivy sheets are designed to fit most standard-size mattresses on the market, including rectangular and tapered styles.

Portions of the system pack down quite a bit.

The newly redesigned 2026 SoftTop Pillow features a patent-pending catenary cutout that lets you easily load a soft topper of your choice and quickly fine-tune bladder height, all while cutting weight. Comfort has never been this easy—or this light.

B.Y.O.P. (Bring Your Own Pillow) Pillowcase

Impressions

The Glacier Insulated Travel Stack is a modular, vacuum-insulated system. It includes a powder-coated stainless steel insulated sleeve, an 11 oz leak-proof food container, two 5 oz leak-proof containers, and a flexible silicone carry handle. The system allows you to configure it for hot meals, snacks, or cold drinks. You can skip the food containers and place two chilled 12-oz beverage cans in the insulated sleeve, which will keep them cold for the better part of a day. I really like the system’s adaptability: you can tightly nest the internal jars or remove them to fit two 12-oz cans. The plastic food containers or jars have silicone sealing rings for a secure, leakproof closure. The rings have integrated pull-tabs for easy removal, thorough cleaning, and mold prevention. I mostly used the Glacier Insulated Travel Stack to carry snacks to outdoor festivals and, occasionally, to keep soda cold if I wasn’t bringing a cooler. The jars work perfectly for nuts, gummies, fruit, chips, etc., and they prevent their contents from getting damaged. With a 3.5″ x 3.4″ x 10.8″ size and 20.5 oz weight, it was quite portable and easy to toss into a pack, vehicle, or wagon.

Combining Legacy DZR Heritage with Waterproof Protection and Effortless Style

Following the successful return of the brand earlier this year and the recent launch of their first model, the ARC, a full-grain leather SPD-compatible mountain bike shoe, DRIFT is proud to announce its latest innovation in cycling footwear: the Minna. This new mountain bike shoe delivers an agile feel without sacrificing the total waterproof protection that defines the DRIFT lineup.

A direct nod to the brand’s core heritage, the Minna carries over the name of one of DZR’s most popular legacy silhouettes. The new Minna strikes a deliberate balance between a relaxed, comfortable fit and a sleek, slimmed-down profile.

Developed and athlete-tested in the demanding, wet-weather terrain of British Columbia, the Minna is purpose-built for riders who refuse to let the elements dictate their day. It is the ideal companion for tackling wet trail conditions, splashing through puddles, navigating an unexpected outdoor sprinkle, or walking and riding through steady rain.

As most foot wetness comes from the ground up, the Minna features the finest waterproof construction integrated with a lightweight textile and suede upper to stop ground moisture in its tracks. Beneath the surface, an embedded shank ensures maximum power transfer to the pedals, while a high-traction gum rubber outsole provides reliable grip when stepping off the bike.

“We wanted to design something that feels effortless the moment you put it on, and doesn’t result in swamp foot if you ride in the rain-sprinkled forests,” said Shane Rattazzi, DRIFT Co-founder and CEO.

“The Minna respects our heritage in the SPD-compatible sneaker category with modern textile and suede blends to offer a more relaxed, versatile fit for everyday progression on and off the mountain.”

Core Specifications & Features:

• Total Waterproof Protection: Specialized construction keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
• Finest Textile & Suede Upper: Offers a lighter, breathable feel with classic street styling.
• Streamlined Fit: Combines a relaxed internal fit with a slim, low-profile silhouette.
• Heavy-Duty Power Shank: Engineered for rigidity and high-performance power transfer on the bike.
• Gum Rubber Outsole: Optimized for high traction on slick trails, pump tracks, and city streets.
• Recessed SPD Compatibility: Seamlessly transitions from clipping into pedals to stopping for a drink at the local pub.
• Versatile Colorways: Available in White, Navy, Army Green, and Black with a classic Gum Rubber bottom.
• MSRP: $189 USD.

MSR introduces the FreeLite Stash Tent for spring 2027

A versatile, light, packable, semi-freestanding backpacking tent that doesn’t compromise on livability, comfort, or storm protection.

Mountain Safety Research® (MSR®), a global leader in high-performance outdoor equipment, announces the launch of the FreeLite Stash tent for spring 2027. The updated FreeLite sets a new standard in its class, delivering an unmatched combination of packability, weight, comfort, performance, and value. MSR is also breaking new ground by bringing a compact pole set — previously seen on MSR’s bikepacking-specific tents— to a wider outdoor audience, making premium packability more accessible than ever.

Backed by MSR’s trusted reputation for quality and performance, the FreeLite Stash provides true livable space thanks to its rectangular footprint, added shoulder space, a gear loft, and clothes lines. It is constructed with recycled materials and features a compact (shorter) pole set for greater convenience and packability, fitting on a bike frame, kayak hull, moto pannier, or backpack.

“We’ve heard from the outdoor community that it’s not only bike packers who are dealing with limited pack space,” said Miles Hubbard, MSR Tents Product Line Manager. “The FreeLite Stash delivers an ultra-compact packed design for all users while still keeping weight low, optimizing livability, and improving storm protection.”

The FreeLite Stash also introduces all-new BeyondLite DAC aluminum poles, a totally new pole set with increased wall thickness, diameter and ferrule lengths, which are optimized for shorter, packable pole sections. Made with 15D nylon ripstop fabric, the new Stash also has added rainfly coverage and greater breathability.

The new MSR Freelite Stash will come in an Olive Night color and in three size options:

• MSR Freelite Stash 1-person (MSRP: $439.95 USD, $559.95 CAN) – Min. Weight: 1 lbs. 14 oz.
• MSR Freelite Stash 2-person (MSRP: $499.95 USD, $599.95 CAN) – Min. Weight: 2 lbs. 6 oz.
• MSR Freelite Stash 3-person (MSRP: $569.95 USD, $699.95 CAN) – Min. Weight: 2 lbs 13 oz.

The MSR Freelite Stash tent series will be available at select retailers and on the MSR website starting January 2027. For more information about MSR and its full collection of tents and products, please visit msrgear.com.

MSR introduces new coffee accessories for spring 2027

Two new cookware products will be introduced for caffeine-loving adventurers: the Titan Pour Over and French Press.

Mountain Safety Research® (MSR®), a global leader in high-performance outdoor equipment, announces two new coffee accessories for spring 2027: the Titan Pour Over, designed as a premium option for the weight-conscious backpacker, and the French Press, for the coffee-loving System Stove owner.

The ultralight Titan Pour Over (MSRP: $49.95 USD, $59.95 CAN) weighs just 1.73 oz, is easy to assemble, plastic-free, and ultracompact, making it a premium addition to MSR’s titanium cookware lineup. It is designed to offer a high-quality coffee experience outside, even when weight and packability are top priorities. To use, simply connect its three identical sides, which fit together perfectly for quick, easy assembly. Sit it securely on top of your preferred coffee mug (fits a range of cup sizes) and use with a #3 V60 conical filter. When not in use, the Pour Over lies completely flat for easy storage.

The French Press comes in 1.0L (MSRP: $34.95 USD, $44.95 CAN) and 1.8L (MSRP: $39.95 USD, $49.95 CAN) versions, designed to be a plastic-free option for the coffee-loving System Stove owner, compatible with the WindBurner Personal and Duo and the Switch Stove pots. Its new aluminum and stainless steel design eliminates microplastics, and its simple design allows for easy cleaning and storage. The 1.0L weighs just 1.7 oz and the 1.8L weighs 2.1 oz.

“The Titan Pour Over is the lightest weight solution for real coffee in the backcountry. Perfect for the coffee-loving, gram-counting backpacker,” said Nate Kuder, Director of Product Management. “To complement our Switch and WindBurner stoves, our new French Press offers plastic-free coffee production integrated into its 1L and 1.8L system pots. When finished, the press packs up neatly and stores alongside the fuel bottle and stove inside the pot. A perfect solution for fresh coffee in the backcountry.”

Both of these cookware products will be available starting January 2027. For more information about MSR and its full collection of cookware, please visit msrgear.com.

Developed in response to growing demand for a synthetic alternative to the original Boost 650, the new Boost SN 32F/0C delivers the series’ signature spacious comfort and adaptable warmth with 85% recycled polyester insulation.

“When Boost 650 launched in 2025, Therm-a-Rest set a new standard for spacious comfort and versatility in down sleeping bags,” said Chris Davis, Therm-a-Rest Product Line Manager. “We quickly heard strong demand from campers and backpackers looking for those same benefits in a synthetic option, particularly for wetter climates and variable conditions. Boost SN builds on the success of the original design by pairing our expandable WarmZip system with recycled hollow-fiber insulation in a surprisingly packable and affordable package, helping more people stay comfortable and sleep better outdoors regardless of the forecast.”

The original Boost 650 returns for Spring 2027 in a new Spruce colorway while retaining the same comfort-first design and performance features that helped establish the series.

Together, the additions to the Boost collection reflect Therm-a-Rest’s ongoing commitment to creating more adaptable, comfortable, and environmentally conscious sleep systems for campers and backpackers.
