10 spring gear picks

Get Out There Magazine has published a 10-item spring gear roundup aimed at three shoulder-season users at once: trail runners, hikers and campers. (x.com) The outlet is a Canada-based outdoor publication that covers running, trail running, camping and other recreation categories across the country. Its gear coverage sits alongside race calendars, event guides and product features on its main site. (getouttheremag.com) That mix helps explain the list’s audience. Spring is the point in the outdoor calendar when runners swap winter traction for lighter kits, hikers prepare for wet trails and variable temperatures, and campers rebuild systems for rain, mud and colder nights. (getouttheremag.com 1) (getouttheremag.com 2) Get Out There has been leaning harder into gear packages and seasonal buying guides over the past few years, including branded giveaways and product spotlights tied to spring and summer use. In June 2025, for example, it featured YETI’s 35-litre Cayo backpack as an all-weather option for bikepacking, hiking and camp carry. (getouttheremag.com) Its older gear coverage shows the same format: a list of products, a short use case and a recommendation aimed at getting readers outside quickly rather than comparing lab-test scores. A June 2023 roundup paired products like a wheeled cooler and dive watch with brief endorsements from the site’s gear contributor. (getouttheremag.com) That puts this new spring list closer to a seasonal refresh than a formal “best gear” test. The framing is practical: update the kit you already own, plug the gaps that matter in spring conditions, and match purchases to activity instead of buying one setup for everything. (x.com) (getouttheremag.com) The timing also fits the publication’s broader spring push. Get Out There has recently published spring race guides, beginner trail-running explainers and camping-start articles that all point readers toward early-season outdoor use.
