The thinner the mountain bike pedal, the lighter and less bulky it will be. Canadian company Outlier MTB has taken this concept to the extreme, with pedals that sport a platform which is completely open in the middle.Calgary-based Outlier is offering two models of its unique pedals – the Void and the Pendulum. Both feature a very short axle that only goes through the crank-side edge of the pedal, leaving the middle wide open. They’re essentially just outlines of traditional platform pedals.Not only does this almost-axle-less design allow the pedals to be thinner than their conventional counterparts, it also reportedly…

Based in British Columbia, Durston builds some of the lightest high-performance backpacking gear on the market, putting it through the absolute wringer of the Canadian Rockies during R&D. Its latest launch packs on a few ounces compared to some of its older shelters but unfurls into a roomier, more convenient freestanding double-wall dome that promises superior storm-readiness. The X-Dome series looks like it could be the ultimate compromise between on-ground camping comfort and low, back-saving weight. We first came across Durston in 2023 when it launched the X-Mid Pro 1, a Dyneema-bodied version of its original X-Mid 1 ultralight A-frame…
If you live in a larger body, sometimes it feels like you can’t win. If you don’t lose weight, people will criticize you for being “lazy,” “unhealthy,” or “lacking willpower.” But if you take medication to help you, you’ll be criticized for “cheating” or “taking the easy way out,” even if you’ve tried for decades to manage your weight through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes (sometimes extreme ones).
