“Waterproof” is a loose term in outdoor product marketing. All too often equipment that touts this label proves to be “water resistant” at best in the field. For a rugged, built-to-last piece of equipment that truly lives up to the waterproof claim, we’ve found no better option than the Taku Waterproof Jacket by Mustang Survival. The Taku’s hard-working design stems from Mustang Survival’s long heritage as a military outfitter of drysuits and PFDs....

THERE IS only one sure thing in this spring’s NBA playoffs, and, despite everything you’ve read, it’s not a Golden State Warriors three-peat.

The only true take-it-to-the-bank guarantee in these playoffs: It will be a brick-fest the likes of which pro basketball has never seen....

Jeff Bridges just hung up on me. We’re in the middle of a conversation about his past and future projects, including his iconic role in The Big Lebowski—released 20 years ago this year (“It had such ramifications.”)—when we accidentally get disconnected.

One California mayoral candidate feels his constituents should be able to pop magic mushrooms because of how much the Trump presidency is stressing them out. According to Newsweek, Kevin Saunders, who’s in the running to lead the city of Marina, said he feels getting his fellow residents legal access to a little psilocybin could bring on serious change.

Gritty Gyms, Punching Bags, and ‘Moving Tons of Weight’: How Milo Ventimiglia St…...

Those huge locker room mouthwash dispensers should be banished, a U.K. study, published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, finds. That minty swish hinders fitness gains. It has to do with nitric oxide, a naturally occurring substance in blood vessels, which increases during exercise to bring more oxygen to muscles. The vessels use nitric oxide as a signal, like sounding a bullhorn to the soft muscle tissue of the body, ordering it to loosen up and enable bloodflow—which makes nitric oxide irreplaceable when it comes to endurance training, hourlong runs, or any other long form of exercise....

But a lot has changed at Skechers since the late ’90s, and even in just the past few years. If you haven’t been paying attention to the brand’s resurgence as a serious contender in the running shoe world, you’re missing out. Skechers makes some great kicks, and the new GOrun 7+ Hyper, which goes on sale Feb....

Crank more turns like this. Photo: Aaron Black-Schmidt Beginner Series | Benefits of Smaller Board My first board was a clunker. Plain and simple. It was an 11-foot hand-me-down from the early days of our sport. It wasn’t fast, it didn’t turn easily and it was very heavy. Nevertheless, it was perfect for mastering the basics like cruising around a harbor, surfing small waves and perhaps most importantly, learning how to pivot turn....
