At Skyblue Overland, we’re always testing gear to take your adventures to the next level. That includes everything from the best new adventure gear like a trailer hitch mounted adventure grill, gear to keep you organized on road trips, or the most comfortable rooftop tents.  We’re always looking out for new gear to make your adventures fun and enjoyable.

Skyblue Overland was founded to inspire explorers and adventurers, empower lives and build community.  We enjoy our connection with the outdoors and love beautiful, functional products infused with mountain soul. We draw inspiration from our everyday immersion in life here in Colorado mountain towns like BoulderCrested Butte, and Durango: We spend our days on local trails and scrambling up nearby summits.

We’ve discovered what fuels our fire most: an adventurous life that inspires us to create and share, striving to capture the beauty of the natural world.  This time of year, our adventures are focusing on high-elevation hikes and scrambles and trail runs, and dreaming about our future cross country ski and snowshoe treks, and backcountry ski trips.

Below we list our favorite gear picks and accessories for your next fall adventure.


BRANDBLACK Sansinin Nylon Mesh/Suede

A performance trail runner/hiker hybrid built to stand out from the pack. Photo by Huckberry.

After 20 years of working his way up through the sneaker world with stints at global heavyweights, David Raysse decided to start keeping his best ideas for himself. Brandblack sits squarely at the intersection of performance and high fashion, drawing elements from both worlds to create entirely fresh and uncompromising silhouettes. The Sansin exemplifies this design ethos—a style-forward crossover between a hiker and a trail runner, these kicks fuse trail-ready performance with a city-ready aesthetic that’s equally at home in the backcountry or back in town.


Roofnest Meadowlark Car Roof Top Tent

Roofnest’s new Meadowlark is a compact take on the classic rooftop tent. The Meadowlark is a new, lightweight, compact 2-person rooftop tent designed to be deployed quickly and easily. Roofnest is known for its capable and well-designed rooftop tents.

Wide crossbars have enough room to also carry a bike (or another toy). Photo by Roofnest.

The Meadowlark is the lightest tent from Roofnest yet. The tent has no poles or guy lines and relies on its fabric shell to provide its structural integrity. As a result, the Meadowlark is much lighter than it other wise would be and can be set up in seconds. Meadowlark sets up in seconds: just pull off the cover, use the telescoping ladder to fold the tent out, extend the integrated interior U-bar, and camp is set.

The Meadowlark is available on pre-sale now for $1,395 — $200 below its $1,595 retail price — and is expected to ship in October 2022.

TREK’s updated Fuel EX is better than ever. Its longer, 140mm of rear suspension and 150mm of front suspension lets you take on single track with confidence, while a patented single pivot system lets you fine tune the ride feel to your preferences.

RELWEN Windzip Popover in Maize

Photo by Huckberry.

It’s a jacket, it’s a sweatshirt, it’s the ultimate go-to pullover

Brands like Relwen are the reason I get excited about heritage gear. Each careful stitch is made with the goal of creating something useful, something that lasts, and something with classic style. That way, when you open your closet five, ten, twenty years from now, you’ll have a lineup of reliable clothes that look damn good and are with you for the long haul. To live up to that tradition, Relwen makes pieces like the Windzip Popover—a kind of jacket/sweatshirt hybrid that puts the best of both worlds into one killer pullover. Relwen designed it to keep out the wind chill during a backyard bonfire but still look stylish enough to wear out on the town, and we think they nailed it.

Available in 3 colorways, including Dark Grey, Maize (shown above), and Wet Cement w/ Spruce Split
