The KÜHL Kontour Field Jacket earns its place in the overland kit through solid construction, smart layered pocket storage, and a true-to-size fit with just-right sleeve length. A full front zip with snap draft flap adds weatherproof versatility. The only drawback: no interior pocket for a phone or wallet. Otherwise, our tester found very little not to like in this durable, road-ready layer.
Jeep’s 2027 Wrangler JL-2A marks the penultimate drop in the brand’s Twelve 4 Twelve series, paying tribute to the 1945 Willys CJ-2A that launched the civilian off-road era. Built on the Rubicon platform, it pairs proven trail hardware with retro Joose-orange wheels, Heritage Tan Nappa leather, and heritage-inspired graphics. Orders open October 2026, priced at $4,995 over base Rubicon — a compelling blend of history and capability.
HEST has extended its Rivian collaboration with a dog bed built from the same memory foam used in its human sleep systems. Featuring a waterproof liner, washable cover, and a compact roll design with an integrated compression harness, it’s engineered for dogs who log as many trail miles as their owners. Available in two sizes, from $209, backed by a 5-year warranty.
My Medic’s Everyday Carry Kit strips first aid down to what actually saves lives in the field: a RATS tourniquet, vented chest seals, a QuikClot dressing, and a compression bandage, all in an 8.5-ounce, MOLLE-compatible pouch. Built from abrasion-resistant Hypalon with a grab-and-go bi-fold layout, it’s designed to ride in the cab rather than buried in cargo—complementing a larger vehicle med kit rather than replacing it.
