HEST ‘Cozies’ into the Season, Introducing the Nest Blanket and Sleep Goggles

Dreamy new gear from HEST welcomes comfort season

HEST Outdoors, known for premium sleep systems built for adventure, unveils its all-new HEST Nest blanket and HEST Sleep Goggles.

The HEST Nest blanket ($99) offers warmth whether you’re setting up camp or settling in around the campfire, in the backyard, or at the ballgame. Available in hydrophobic down for $149 (Nest Down Blanket) or 100% recycled synthetic Nest blanket, it keeps you comfortable wherever you sit (like the HEST Foamy Camp Chair).

A cinch footbox keeps your feet and lower body insulated, while a front hand-warmer pocket over the chest keeps your hands tucked in. The Nest blanket also includes a wrap-and-snap closure option for an alternate poncho-style fit that covers the shoulders for hands-free coverage. This style enables movability around the campsite.

When it’s time to pack up, the Nest conveniently stuffs into an integrated zippered pocket with no stuff sack required.

Alongside the Nest blanket, the all-new HEST Sleep Goggles ($39) join the lineup and will help outdoor enthusiasts and travelers sleep more comfortably wherever they go. Equipped with HEST’s proprietary Frame Fit Technology, the ultra-soft foam naturally wraps around the face for light-blocking with less pressure and material, creating more space around the eyes to promote airflow and temperature regulation. With an adjustable custom strap, they support deeper, restorative sleep. For those on the go, the Sleep Goggles pair exceptionally well with HEST’s existing Airline Travel Pack.

A secure twist-on lid ensures worry-free transport, while the flexible silicone handle offers comfortable carrying on the go. Whether it’s soup, snacks, or a hot lunch, this stackable, portable set delivers convenience, durability, and thermal performance in one compact solution. Ready when you are.

This insulated, portable container is designed to keep food and drinks at the perfect temperature—hot or cold—for hours. Ideal for meals on the go, it’s perfect for carrying soups, snacks, or beverages in durable, leak-proof containers. When not used for food storage, it can also hold two 12-oz cans and keep them ice cold, making it a versatile solution for both workdays and weekend adventures.

Features

• Designed to keep multiple beverages cold without lugging around a heavy cooler and ice.
• Double-insulated can cooler holds two 12-oz cans of your favorite liquid

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.

Muc-Off Launch AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max – Maximum Power, Minimal Effort

Muc-Off has expanded its electric pump range with the launch of the new AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max.

Building on the success of the AirMach Electric Mini Inflator Pro, the Pro Max takes performance to the next level with a larger battery, increased inflation capacity, and broader compatibility across bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and cars. Whether it’s fine-tuning tire pressures before a race, preparing a fleet of bikes, or topping up a motorcycle tire before an adventure, it’s built to get the job done quickly, accurately, and effortlessly.

The headline upgrade is a significantly larger battery, enabling the AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max to tackle everything from individual bike setups to workshop fleets, motorcycle tires, and beyond. The AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max can inflate up to eight bicycle road tires (700c x 25c, 0-70 psi / 0-4.8 bar), seven gravel bike tires (700c x 40c, 0-40 psi / 0-2.8 bar) or six MTB tires (29”, 0-30 psi / 0-2.1 bar) on a single charge. For motorcyclists, it can inflate up to two 150/80 16 tires or 140/70 17 tires from 0-30 psi / 0-2.1 bar from a single charge.*

Powered by next-generation brushless motor technology, the AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max delivers inflation pressures of up to 120 psi / 8.2 bar while maintaining precision down to 0.5 PSI increments. Featuring an integrated LED display with real-time pressure and battery level readouts, riders can set their desired pressure, press the inflate button, and let the unit automatically stop once the target pressure is reached. A built-in memory function retains previous pressure settings for faster setup, and the starting pressure can be calibrated to match ambient air pressure, ensuring accuracy at any altitude.

“Our AirMach Electric Mini Inflators changed the game for riders looking for a fast, compact, effortless alternative to traditional pumps, but we quickly saw demand for something with more power, more battery capacity, and greater versatility. The AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max is equally at home in a race pit, workshop, garage, or as part of a rider’s bikepacking loadout. It’s our most advanced electric inflator yet.”
Alex Trimnell, Owner, CEO, and Founding Family Member at Muc-Off.

The AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max features a premium aluminum construction and a protective silicone heat shield sleeve. Also included is an extended air hose designed to enable easy access to motorbike and car wheels, as well as harder-to-reach bicycle valves, including TPU tubes and smaller bicycle wheels.

Like all Muc-Off inflators, the AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max is compatible with Big Bore, Presta, and Schrader valves. It also includes an inflatable toy nozzle and a ball inflation needle.

The AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max joins Muc-Off’s growing inflation range, sitting alongside the AirMach Electric Mini Inflator Pro and AirMach Electric Mini Inflator, as well as the brand’s wider collection of hand pumps, CO2 inflators, and emergency puncture repair solutions – whatever the ride, Muc-Off offers an inflation solution to keep riders moving.

The AirMach Electric Inflator Pro Max is priced at £135 / €150 / $180 and is available now globally through the Muc-Off dealer network, selected e-retailers, and direct from www.muc-off.com.

FOR THE WHOLE BIKE

Most bikepacking kits are stitched together from multiple brands that share nothing in common. EVOC’s new bikepacking collection is a modular system of waterproof, PFAS-free bags that all share the same straps and mounts, so they link together to your frame’s mounts or to a rack.

The set contains everything from an insulated food pouch to rear panniers. The collection was developed in partnership with Jana Kesenheimer, winner of the women’s Transcontinental Race, the self-supported ride across Europe.

The collection is split into two segments: Ultra are the minimalist race-level models that Jana relies on for competition, while Explorer is the everyday range with more features and options for touring, bikepacking, and commuting.

Both lines share the same straps and mounts, so you can mix and match between sets to best suit your needs. Straps come in three lengths to fit almost any frame and feature soft TPU rubber under the buckles to prevent scratches.

The new collection focuses on minimalist color options, so you don’t have to worry about clashing. All bags are available in black, and some are available in sand. If purple is your thing, check out the Seat Bag and Seat Bag Ultra models for the Violet colorway.

HANDLEBAR PACKS

Handlebar bags can be hard to mount and pack. EVOC’s new 5L uses a tool-free BOA dial and strap system that eliminates the need for a heavy aftermarket mount. The side-loading roll-top bag is perfect for packing bulky items that compress, like a sleeping bag, and can be easily removed if you need to head inside for the night. An exterior elastic cord holds a rain jacket or anything that requires quick, easy access.

Our favorite bag might be the Handlebar Pack WP 1.5. This is the bag that stays on the bike year-round. Big enough for a small jacket and the things you reach for on every ride, and fully waterproof, so your gear stays dry when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Run it alone or stack it with the larger bags if you need more room up front.

• MSRP: $150 (5l), $75 (1.5l)
• Weight: 330g (5l), 120g (1.5l)
• Dimensions: 35×17×15 cm (5l), 24.5×10×10 cm (1.5l)

TOP TUBE PACKS

The top tube pack comes in 1l and 2l. Both are easy to open one-handed, feature a pass-through charging port for handlebar-mounted electronics, and offer enough room for your phone. The interiors feature side mesh pockets for small essentials that you may need to access quickly. Both top tube bags can be lashed together with the frame packs via the shared strap system, or you can use common frame top tube mounts for strap-free installation.

Smaller frame sizes don’t leave much room inside the front triangle, so EVOC developed the 2L with Jana. The aerodynamic design minimizes drag, allowing her to carry additional gear while still accessing two water bottles.

• MSRP: $55 (1l), $80 (2l Ultra)
• Weight: 125g (1l), 140g (2l Ultra)
• Dimensions: 5×23×10 cm (1l), 5×45×10 cm (2l Ultra)

FRAME PACKS

Available in 1.5l and 3l, the frame packs give you the most room while still clearing two water bottles in the front triangle. They feature smooth one-handed zip access to a large main compartment, as well as slim exterior pockets for smaller items like cash or drink mixes. Inside, an adjustable divider and mesh pockets keep your gear neatly separated and easily accessible.

• MSRP: $95 (1.5l), $115 (3l)
• Weight: 125g (1.5l), 200g (3l)
• Dimensions: 5×30×11 cm (1.5l), 5×47×12 cm (3l)

MULTI PACKS

The multipack is our most versatile pack. Mount it almost anywhere: under the top tube of your full-suspension mountain bike, the seat tube of your hardtail, or underneath the down tube of a fully loaded gravel bike. It’s available in either 0.7l or 1.2l.

• MSRP: $55 (1l), $80 (2l Ultra)
• Weight: 125g (1l), 140g (2l Ultra)
• Dimensions: 5×23×10 cm (1l), 5×45×10 cm (2l Ultra)

SEAT PACKS

When fully loaded, seat bags frequently suffer from the dreaded bag wag. EVOC uses a small wedge that shoehorns around the seat post. This unique design is paired with straps that run underneath the saddle. This combination firmly affixes the bag at two points, which prevents side-to-side motion. The more you load it, the more the weight pushes down towards the wedge, locking the bag down even tighter.

EVOC offers two versions. Both seat packs are compatible with dropper posts. They feature an adjustable waterproof roll-top, reflective strips, a rear light strap, and elastic loops for gear that doesn’t fit inside.

The Ultra version is designed for racing. It uses buckles to shave weight and is available in both 4L and 7L capacities. If the Ultra is a rally car, the BOA line is for those who enjoy the small luxuries. It delivers similar performance at a small weight penalty, but the quick dials make it easier to load and unload.

EVOC has also added reinforced side panels to the seat packs, helping hold the bag’s shape and reducing the potential for bag wag. BOA straps also better stabilize loads as weights get heavier, allowing EVOC to offer them in larger sizes: 9L, 12L, and 15L.

• MSRP: $150 (Ultra 4l), $175 (Ultra 7l), $175 (BOA 9l), $200 (BOA 12l), $215 (BOA 15l)
• Weight: 290g (Ultra 4l), 360g (Ultra 7l), 530g (BOA 9l), 570g (BOA 12l), 600g (BOA 15l)
• Dimensions: 17×30×15 cm (Ultra 4l), 17×42×15 cm (Ultra 7l), 19×45×15 cm (BOA 9l), 20×50×17 cm (BOA 12l), 21×56×17 cm (BOA 15l)

SEAT BAGS

To match the durability of the bikepacking collection, EVOC developed the new Seat Bag Tour from the same waterproof fabric, with a water-repellent zipper and a Hypalon panel to protect the seat post from abrasion. It comes in M and L. For shorter days out, the Seat Bag Ultra keeps it simple. Clean, rail-mounted, and available in the ever-fashionable Violet.

• MSRP: $30 (Ultra), $35 (Tour M), $40 (Tour L)
• Weight:38g (Ultra), 97g (Tour M), 97g (Tour L)
• Dimensions: 7×13×5 cm (Ultra), 9.5×15×8.5 cm (Tour M), 11.5×17×10 cm (Tour L)

ACCESSORY POUCHES

EVOC’s new food pouch, known internally as the “burrito bag,” is stem-mounted and insulated. It’s the perfect size for keeping the aforementioned burrito warm on the way to camp or keeping that tall can cold. It also features an outside mesh pocket for stashing wrappers. Remember, leave no trace. EVOC also designed a down tube pack, which is a waterproof anything bag. It’s the perfect place to keep spare tubes, tools, and the like. This location often gets covered in crud, making it a poor spot for a zipper. Instead, a roll-top makes it easy to access your things while maximizing water (mud/dust/grit/ bug) proofness.

• MSRP: $50 (Food Pouch), $70 (Downtube Pack)
• Weight:90g (Food Pouch), 70g (Downtube Pack)
• Dimensions: 9.5×17×9.5 cm (Food Pouch), 7×30×8 cm (Downtube Pack)

FRONT AND REAR PANNIERS

When EVOC set out to build panniers, the team looked for the best mounting system available and even considered designing one in-house. They landed on KlickFix, fellow Germans, known as leading bicycle bracket developers, whose mechanical latches click on and off with ease. The collection includes a 4.5L fork pannier and a 25L rear pannier. The rear hides a padded laptop sleeve and mesh pockets, so you can race on Sunday and sell on Monday. It also gets reflective trim and removable shoulder straps.

• MSRP: $100 (Fork Pannier 4.5l), $110 (Rear Pannier 25l)
• Weight: 260g (Fork Pannier 4.5l), 690g (Rear Pannier 25l)
• Dimensions: 15×12.5×30 cm (Fork Pannier 4.5l), 30×46×16 cm (Rear Pannier 25l)

Whether you’re the fastest woman across the continent or planning your first overnighter, the EVOC collection is built to work together however you mount it.

The EVOC bikepacking collection is available beginning June 11th through quality retailers. HLC is the exclusive North American distributor for EVOC.

Tailwind Nutrition Partners with The Conservation Alliance for Trail, Land, and Open Space Access

Philanthropic donations transcend Earth Week with a prolonged giveback program

Tailwind Nutrition, the leading provider of simple and complete nutrition products, has partnered with The Conservation Alliance to support the mission of protecting North America’s wild places. Tailwind Nutrition will donate ten percent of sales of its new Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel to the Conservation Alliance.

Tailwind Nutrition has historically provided philanthropic donations to organizations that support access to the outdoors, including the American Hiking Society, Durango Devo, Durango Trails, and Silver Stallion Bicycle & Coffee Works. As a member of The Conservation Alliance’s Business Advocacy Network, Tailwind Nutrition recently donated 5% of net sales during Earth Week, April 19-25, 2026, to the organization. With the launch of Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel, Tailwind will extend its giveback program beyond Earth Week to further The Conservation Alliance’s goals.

“When we think about why Tailwind Nutrition exists, the answer always starts in the same place: the outdoors,” explains Jenny Vierling, co-founder of Tailwind Nutrition. “Every product Tailwind produces is intended for people who feel most alive outside, whether on a trail, a gravel road, or a mountain top. We are proud to support the work of The Conservation Alliance to protect wild places across North America and preserve access for all recreational users.”

The Conservation Alliance is busier than ever fighting against proposals to sell off public lands and new threats that face communities across the country. Partnering with brands like Tailwind Nutrition that share a value of preserving nature is critical for the Alliance’s movement.

“Partnerships like this with Tailwind Nutrition show how businesses can play a meaningful role in protecting the places we all depend on,” explains Paul Hendricks, Executive Director of The Conservation Alliance. “The Conservation Alliance brings companies together to support on-the-ground conservation and advocate for policies that protect our lands and waters. Since 1989, that work has helped protect more than 125 million acres and nearly 5,000 river miles. Collaborations like the Mango Yuzu release help turn everyday choices into real and lasting impact.”

Every scoop of Mango Yuzu Endurance Fuel helps power not only an athlete’s performance on the trail, but also the ongoing efforts to conserve and defend the outdoor spaces we rely on. It’s a small choice that contributes to a much bigger mission—keeping our landscapes wild, accessible, and thriving for generations to come.

3 Ingredients For Going The Distance.

• ELECTROLYTES – Tailwind’s Endurance Fuel formula contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to speed the absorption of fuel and replace what you sweat out.
• WATER – Tailwind Endurance Fuel maximizes your water absorption, more than drinking water alone.
• CALORIES – Tailwind Endurance Fuel uses dextrose and sucrose, which your body is designed to absorb, so they enter your bloodstream quickly without challenging your digestive system or causing stomach issues.

Thoughts => This is absolutely my favorite flavor they have ever released. It has a wonderful fruitiness and isn’t overly sweet or salty. The excellent combination of tropical mango and citrusy yuzu offers a blend of tart lemon, bitter grapefruit, and sweet mandarin. Immensely quenchable!

Trail tested and protein-packed, the leader in the freeze-dried food industry introduces Cajun Style Jambalaya and Breakfast Fried Rice

ALBANY, Ore. – April 6, 2026 – Mountain House today added two new high-protein entrees to its line of freeze-dried offerings: Cajun Style Jambalaya and Breakfast Fried Rice. Packed with 32g of protein per pouch, these meals are cooked in small batches and freeze-dried on-site in Albany, Oregon, delivering consistent flavor backed by Mountain House’s 30-Year Taste Guarantee. Jambalaya delivers a kick of spice after a long day on the trail while the Breakfast Fried Rice is ideal for dawn patrol starts.

Developed by Mountain House Associate Food Scientist and Louisiana native Amy Nguyen, Jambalaya features light, fluffy long grain rice, smoky and savory andouille sausage and a vibrant Cajun spice blend built around the classic holy trinity of onions, bell peppers and celery. The new recipe brings the heat with a spicy kick when you need it most.

“My main goal for this recipe was for it to feel like home,” said Nguyen. “Jambalaya is the ultimate comfort dish; it’s about gathering together, whether at a tailgate or a remote basecamp.”

Originally developed for the U.S. military, Breakfast Fried Rice is now available to consumers for the first time. This lightweight breakfast is the perfect morning kick start, featuring ingredients like savory turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, and crisp vegetables, with hints of ginger and soy sauce.

“We wanted to capture the scrappy, satisfying tradition of throwing together what’s left from camp dinners, usually rice, with breakfast staples to create a delicious, convenient meal,” said Director of Research and Development Drew Huebsch. “Crafted from high-quality ingredients, our Breakfast Fried Rice is perfect for any situation where a quick, hearty meal is needed.”

The new entrees are available at an MSRP of $12.49 at outdoor specialty and major retailers nationwide, as well as online at mountainhouse.com.

New 4-bike rack builds on the success of the SuperClamp 2-bike rack with enhanced capacity for group adventures

Saris, manufacturer of world-class bike racks, trainers, storage, and bicycle parking products, today announced the launch of the SuperClamp 4-Bike Rack (MSRP $1,299.99), the newest addition to the SuperClamp family of racks. Building on the speed, security, and zero-frame-contact design of the SuperClamp 2-Bike, the new four-bike model delivers increased capacity without compromising ease of use, making it an ideal solution for families, group rides, and e-bike owners.

“The SuperClamp 2-Bike quickly became a favorite for riders who value speed and simplicity,” said Kellen Pagel, Product Manager at Saris. “With the SuperClamp 4-Bike, we’ve taken that same intuitive design and expanded it for riders who want to bring more bikes along, without adding complexity. It’s built for real-world use, from family trail days to group adventures.”

Designed for riders who need more carrying capability with the same trusted performance, the SuperClamp 4-Bike features Saris’ signature fixed-position, spring-loaded arms to secure bikes by the tires, eliminating frame contact and reducing setup guesswork. The result is a fast-loading, bike-friendly system that protects a wide range of bikes, including those with fenders.

Additional features of the SuperClamp 4-Bike include:

• Carries up to four bikes – Supports 60 lbs. per bike in the trays closest to the vehicle and 35 lbs. per bike on the outer trays
• Tool-free anti-wobble system – Ensures a fast, stable installation with no tools required
• Integrated locking system – Secures both bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle for added peace of mind
• Tilting and folding design – Allows rear vehicle access even when loaded and reduces footprint when not in use
• Wide compatibility – Fits 2” receivers and accommodates wheel sizes from 20” to 29”, including bikes with fenders
