Spring is officially here– and for some that might mean blooming flowers or warmer weather, however, in my mind, spring triggers one thing – the kick-off to thru-hiking season! I’m Alexa, a Director at Verde, I embarked on my 2013 Appalachian Trail hike in the snow on March 30 from Georgia, and my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike in 90-degree temperatures from Mexico on May 5, 2017. With two thru-hikes under my belt, and now working in the outdoor industry, I love talking gear, and thinking about all of the products that I would bring on a future thru-hike.

As campsites begin to book up, now is a great time for journalists and media outlets to discuss camping trends and the gear and brands that go along with it. Don’t get left behind - reach these camping planners early in the season while they are planning for trips and purchasing gear. 

Few voices in the outdoors and active lifestyle world have a voice as powerful as Outside Magazine. Long trusted by outdoor enthusiasts, the annual Outside Buyers Guides are some of the most prestigious picks for outdoor gear - especially the coveted Editors Choice. We’re honored to represent such a wide array of brands that continue to produce innovative gear year after year. For this winter, our clients gear was named some of the best of the best.

Leaves are changing, temps are dropping - fall is falling. It’s that time when we reach for our collective beanies, don those comfy leggings, and hit the pumpkin patch. As much as we at Verde, and the brands we represent, love to head deep into an adventure, we’re still human - meaning you can catch us leaf peeping or picking out that perfect pumpkin. With this in mind, we decided to get in touch with our #basic side this fall and share our best recommendation for you and your readers. BYOPSL - bring your own pumpkin spice latte.

Sure, travel may still be closed off in many places, but we’re returning to normal, and that means there is a boatload of built-up demand. So despite the damper on big trips, we’re still seeing more interest in travel and the outdoors than ever. So, how do you write a holiday gift guide to reach these folks and their loved ones?

We’re not only going to share our favorite gifts for skiers but also help you identify the hottest trends and most-searched-for topics in skiing. This means that you can not only have a great gift guide, but you can optimize it to stand out in this competitive landscape.

Warm weather is upon us (or will be soon)! With this, we have a host of new gear and trends to share. First up, we have a whole new sport in winging, or wing surfing, then we’ll cover some trends that will help keep folks protected and comfortable as they head into the outdoors. These latter trends may seem small, but as the number of people that are venturing out has exploded, its small steps forward in comfort, like these, that will keep those people coming back for years to come.

Earth Day is one of our favorite holidays and we want to help you celebrate with some earth-friendly gear from some of our favorite clients.

Even though winter is just kicking into high gear, we wanted to share some new gear coming down the pipeline from a few of our favorite brands. These are some of the best new pieces for anyone’s outdoor wardrobe.
