Built from recycled 2.5-layer Pertex® Revolve fabric with a fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment, this is Rab’s first ever mono-polymer waterproof jacket. This means it has a polyester outer and membrane, so in addition to being 100% recycled, it also has the future potential to be fully recycled at the end of its life.

Adjustable hem and cuffs and a pair of deep-venting pit zips enable you to tweak the fit and ventilation as conditions demand. The hood with polymer peak is two-way adjustable for reliable visibility and the zipped handwarmer pockets are large enough for a map.

RED VOYAGER MSL PADDLEBOARD 12’6″

Photo: Red Paddleboard

The RED VOYAGER MSL PADDLEBOARD 12’6″ is a board that gives extra stability and rigidity. This beauty is ideal for longer outings or taller, larger paddlers. The extra size also offers the opportunity to toss a dog or small child on the nose or load up the extra cargo areas for camping gear. RED’s patented RSS system makes the board stiffer at lower pressures, which you’ll appreciate when it’s loaded up. escaperoute.ca

By cleverly tapering the cut of the drop stitch, the new displacement V-shaped hull on the nose of the Voyager, breaks the surface tension of the water and keeps you gliding through your paddle stroke.

New for 2021: The Twin Fin. Red has introduced a twin fin set up on their Voyager board range, improving tracking and glide. By having two shorter fins rather than one longer fin, you’ll be able to get into much shallower waters, opening up a wider variety of paddling. Another benefit is that you can load your board with all of your gear and it will remain super stable.

The self-closing, flat bungee straps are now larger, creating more tension to keep all your gear topside. All boards come with three bungee straps on the nose, setting you up perfectly for adventures to come. Meanwhile, ergonomic tubular handles on all boards give you a cushioned, comfy grip when handling your board.

Who’s having a multi-sport day?! 😆 @timemmett probably is.
Bruce County is much more than the Bruce Peninsula. We’re here to let you in on a secret: a thriving community nestled in Bruce County’s interior region, just waiting to be discovered. The village of Paisley offers something for everyone, and isn’t overrun by summer crowds.
The mere thought of a cougar or any other apex predator in our midst can turn a backcountry adventure into a psychological test of mind over matter. Luckily, our fears are mostly in our heads and few have experienced a negative wildlife encounter. But, for ultramarathoner @samuel.dickie, it got real. #Linkinbio to read more!
MAG DROP! 🤩
Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day (today and every day)!
Together with our partners we’ve picked our favourite summer trail shoes, in alpha order, for your crush-it summer. #linkinbio
Happy Father’s Day to all the RAD DADS out there!! 🙌
Join the Climb for Climate Challenge on @fatmap_official! Whether you’re gaining your vert on the climbing wall, the dirt trail, or the pavement, hashtag #ClimbForClimate in the title of your adventure, and @mountainhardwear will donate $1 to @protectourwinterscanada for every 20m vertical up to $5,000–100,000m. Signing up enters you to win: a 1-month membership to FATMAP premium and a $500 MHW gift card. (Challenge runs June 16-26.)
GIVEAWAY TIME! We've teamed up with @hydroflask.ca to give you a chance to WIN an epic prize pack! The perfect pairing for a SUP expedition or an adventure in the mountains! Prize pack includes:
“With almost 50 years of riding bicycles under my belt (and 40 years of mountain biking) I can safely say when I just hop on and start givin’r it feels much like an ‘autopilot’ or ‘cruise control’ of stoke. But…I recently had a moment that hit my turbo fun button and kicked my stoke into another gear.
