Founded in 2009, onX emerged as a pioneer in digital outdoor navigation when accurate GPS mapping for remote areas was still nascent technology. What began as a tool for hunters has evolved into the most trusted navigation platform for outdoor recreationists, with specialized apps serving hunters (onX Hunt), off-road enthusiasts (onX Offroad), and backcountry travelers (onX Backcountry). The company’s success stems from its deep understanding of off-the-beaten-path experiences and its commitment to both technological innovation and conservation advocacy.

Unlike generic mapping services that treat wilderness as empty space between roads, onX builds products specifically for people who venture beyond pavement. The platform provides detailed property boundaries, land ownership information, and activity-specific features that mainstream apps cannot match. This specialization has earned onX the trust of millions of users who depend on accurate navigation in remote areas where cell service disappears and wrong turns can have serious consequences.

onX’s influence extends beyond software development into public land advocacy. Since 2018, the company has contributed to securing and improving public land access through direct funding and legislative support, working with various partners to support key legislation with data analysis and research. This dual commitment to technology and conservation positions onX uniquely to address challenges like dispersed camping overcrowding—problems that require both innovative tools and deep understanding of outdoor recreation dynamics.

According to The Dyrt’s 2025 Camping Report, 81.1 million Americans camped in 2024—including 5.8 million first-timers—while 56.1% struggled to book sites due to full campgrounds, and more than half prefer vehicle-based camping with three out of four having camped in or next to their vehicles.

onX’s newly launched Dispersed Camping Layer represents the first comprehensive attempt to solve this problem through technology rather than restrictions. Launched May 19, 2025, this industry-first motorized dispersed camping feature maps nearly 140,000 miles of roads and trails across the US National Forest System where the practice is legally permitted, transforming how outdoor enthusiasts find and access remote camping opportunities while potentially alleviating pressure on the most popular sites.

The innovation addresses a fundamental information gap that has plagued dispersed camping for decades. Previously, campers faced two imperfect options: navigating bureaucratic Forest Service PDFs that list regulations without geographic context, or relying on user-generated apps that mark individual sites with questionable accuracy. Neither approach provided the comprehensive view necessary for informed decision-making, creating a system where campers often arrived at destinations without understanding legal boundaries or alternative options.

“Before this layer, campers would cobble together information without a clear picture of what was actually allowed or accessible, leading to overcrowding, environmental strain, and even closures in some cases,” explains Chris Cordes, onX’s Offroad Content Manager. The company developed the feature in consultation with land managers who specifically requested tools to help distribute camping pressure more evenly across available areas.

The technology’s approach differs significantly from existing solutions. Rather than pinpointing specific campsites—which tends to concentrate impact—the layer highlights entire road and trail corridors where camping is permitted. When toggled on, the layer displays these areas in bright yellow on users’ maps, and clicking on any road or trail reveals specific regulations for that area. This methodology encourages exploration of lesser-known areas while ensuring compliance with local rules that can vary dramatically between forest districts.

At launch, the Dispersed Camping Layer covers eleven western states: Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. onX plans nationwide expansion later this summer and eventual inclusion of other federal lands beyond the Forest Service system. The feature is available to onX Offroad Premium and Elite subscribers, integrating dispersed camping information directly into the navigation tools these users already employ for off-road adventures.

The timing coincides with dispersed camping’s surge in popularity over the past five years. The practice appeals to campers seeking alternatives to crowded, reservation-required campgrounds, offering privacy, flexibility, and often spectacular settings. However, this growth has created management challenges as popular sites become overused while thousands of legal alternatives remain unknown to most recreationists.

The dispersed camping phenomenon reflects broader shifts in outdoor recreation preferences. Modern campers increasingly value authentic wilderness experiences over amenity-rich campgrounds, driving demand for remote locations that traditional reservation systems cannot accommodate. Simultaneously, social media has amplified awareness of specific “secret” spots, creating concentrated impact that contradicts dispersed camping’s original low-impact philosophy.

The Dispersed Camping Layer’s success will ultimately depend on user adoption and behavioral change. If campers embrace the tool’s comprehensive approach and explore the highlighted corridors rather than concentrating on previously known sites, it could significantly reduce environmental impact while expanding access to quality camping experiences. The technology provides land managers with a mechanism to communicate regulations clearly while encouraging responsible use of available resources.

For camping enthusiasts, the layer promises to restore some of dispersed camping’s original appeal—the possibility of finding solitude in spectacular settings without advance planning or fees. Rather than competing for limited spots at well-known locations, campers can explore entire networks of legal camping corridors, potentially discovering new favorite destinations while reducing their impact on overused areas.

The broader implications extend beyond camping convenience. As outdoor recreation continues growing and public lands face increasing pressure, technological solutions that improve information accessibility and encourage responsible use become essential tools for land management. onX’s approach suggests that private sector innovation, developed in partnership with government agencies, can address conservation challenges while enhancing user experiences.

Whether this technology can meaningfully reduce overcrowding at popular dispersed camping sites remains to be seen. Success will require not just accurate mapping but also cultural shifts among campers willing to venture beyond established favorites. If the layer achieves its intended effect, it could serve as a model for managing recreational pressure across other public land activities, from hiking trails to fishing access points.

The Dispersed Camping Layer represents more than technological advancement—it embodies a philosophy that better information leads to better outdoor experiences and environmental stewardship. As summer camping season approaches, this tool offers both seasoned dispersed campers and newcomers the opportunity to explore responsibly while potentially preserving the solitude that makes this type of camping valuable in the first place.

The company has announced two new thermoplastic carbon fiber wheelsets: the F+B 30 EM 29”, an enduro MTB wheel ($2,599 MSRP), and the F+B 25 GR 700c gravel wheel ($2,599 MSRP). You can find the items on their website and in select retailers this spring.

“At FORGE+BOND, we’re not just creating the best-performing wheels on the planet, we’re also reimagining the way the world rides,” said Joe Wheadon, FORGE+BOND VP of Sales and Marketing. “From automated cutting and layup processes to delivering finished wheels, the production process is designed to save energy and eliminate waste at every step.”

In the outdoor gear world, innovation and sustainability are driving forces. FORGE+BOND leverages an advanced thermoplastic composite material called FUSIONFIBER, a proprietary material made with long-chain polymers. FORGE+BOND’s nylon-based thermoplastic material means the material can literally be made and remade forever, and the net goal is to waste nothing.

FORGE+Bond is aiming to transform the cycling space through its responsibility-first approach. “Our ultimate goal is to inspire others to join us in creating a world where nothing is wasted–not only in materials but also in resources and time,” said Wheadon. Everything from raw materials to final products is built in the USA, ensuring performance, durability, reliability, and sustainability. Even the production process is designed to eliminate waste.

Since FORGE+BOND doesn’t use any epoxies or resins (which need to be burned off before recycling and are typical of other carbon fiber bicycle component manufacturers), FORGE+BOND avoids an otherwise energy-intensive and toxic process that other companies must endure. Additionally, unlike epoxy-based thermoset carbon fiber typically used by other cycling companies, FUSIONFIBER® waste from FORGE+BOND bike rims and other finished products is 100% recyclable. Excess materials can be chopped, trimmed, and compressed into new high-quality, high value and high-performance products, like tire levers. Little, if anything, is wasted.

Additionally, FORGE+BOND’s unique material and manufacturing process keeps the rider’s experience at the forefront. Rims made with FUSIONFIBER offer a smoother, faster, confidence-inspiring ride, and much higher impact resistance without additional weight. The long-chain nylon polymers used in the FUSIONFIBER material,  makes it possible to absorb impacts through microscopic flexing in the fibers that radially dissipate shock throughout the rim. FORGE+BOND rims have been tested to withstand a minimum of 275 percent of the UCI standard for impact resistance.

The microscopic flexing allowed by the nylon material in FUSIONFIBER also provides a 50 percent or greater increase in damping while maintaining lateral stability.

“With FUSIONFIBER, we don’t have to sacrifice stiffness to improve ride quality,” said Global Marketing Director Travis Tomczak. “We target the stiffness we want for maximum control and performance and the thermoplastic matrix acts as a damper to the entire system. By constantly iterating and gathering feedback from our testing team and athletes, we’ve created a wheel that gives riders the ability to charge through any terrain with confidence and control.”

Although we know that helmets are beneficial to head safety, the latest Bicycle Safety report by Swedish insurance company Folksam makes the case that helmet absorption efficiency could still be greatly improved, especially when collisions occur with a vehicle at speeds above 12 mph.

To that end Swedish brands POC and Autoliv (a leader in automotive safety systems) have been working together to assess the potential of using airbag technology in helmets. After conducting a pre-study, the conclusion from the Autoliv research team is that a cycling helmet with an integrated airbag can significantly improve protection and reduce the consequences of impacts to cyclists.

The airbag would act as the initial energy absorber while the underlying helmet would be the following energy absorber. Autoliv and POC developed the initial concepts by advanced simulation tools and conducted correlated physical crash tests.

The combination of both absorbing technologies enables a reduction of the peak linear head acceleration and significantly reduced head injury risk in impact tests. The study also showed that the protection improvements could be reached without compromising the design, weight, or comfort of a helmet designed with integrated airbag technology.

“Autoliv is committed to the vision of Saving More Lives and to providing world class life-saving solutions for mobility and society. The safety of vulnerable road users, such as bicyclists and e-bike riders, is high on our agenda. Therefore, it was natural to collaborate on this initiative with POC, a leader in bicyclist safety, to explore how to improve helmet protection in current standard testing and more challenging scenarios, such as higher impact speeds.” says Dr. Cecilia Sunnevång, Vice President Research, Autoliv.

The pre-study showed that the addition of airbag technology on top of the helmet can significantly contribute to enhanced safety performance, especially in linear impacts. It is estimated that the risk for a cyclist to sustain moderate (e.g. mild concussion) to fatal head injuries is reduced from 80% to 30% in a 12 mph impact.

“Our safety mission drives everything we do, and we always challenge conventional thinking in order to improve protection. Helmets are tested and certified in a laboratory setting and can never fully address all the real-world variables of bike crashes. Together with Autoliv, who are world-renowned and have some of the most advanced testing and research facilities in the field, we have embarked on a development journey with airbag technology, asking ourselves what could be done to excel in current test scenarios and push the envelope towards even more shock absorbing capacity” says Oscar Huss, Chief Product Officer, POC.

Boosted by increased environmental consciousness and the growth of e-bike commuting, the number of bicycle riders worldwide is increasing rapidly. This growth needs to be supported by an improved helmet protection, says POC, especially at higher speeds enabled by e-biking, in order to prevent a higher rate of head injuries. The successful outcome of the pre-study will now lead to further testing and refinement with the objective of developing the concept further and potentially bringing a product to the market.

Autoliv has formed Mobility Safety Solutions (MSS) to extend its business into new market areas beyond light vehicles and occupant safety. By combining core competence and industry experience, MSS develops and manufactures mobility safety solutions such as pedestrian protection, battery cut-off switches, connected safety services, and safety solutions for riders of powered two-wheelers.

For athletes training in individual sports like cycling and running, pandemic protections have instilled the expectation to go solo more often than not. While the independent nature of these activities has made it easier to keep a healthy distance than in collaborative sports, the isolation still puts a cap on potential by limiting essential learning opportunities via social connection.

In response to these detrimental impacts that are just now really starting to sink in after two years stuck in the same routines, PEARL iZUMi has launched a social platform help restore connections throughout the women’s cycling community. Female athletes know that there’s a special sense of empowerment that only comes from training with other women, because the female experience of sport takes its own course on everything from physical responses to mental perceptions to emotional attitudes.

“PEARL iZUMi has been at the forefront of providing the highest quality of innovation for women’s apparel for years. What we have seen is that when women get together, good things happen for the community and the connections made through riding are incredibly meaningful. It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or professional,” said Abi Youcha, PEARL iZUMi Brand Marketing Specialist. “We truly believe in the power of connecting and riding together. We are thrilled to launch a program that links it all together.”

The online platform goes by the fitting name of “WeWe” as PEARL iZUMi works to put a new spin on building camaraderie. The program offers a ride locator and events calendar to help connect female cyclists with other women nearby. The We blog then features stories on current events, athlete spotlights, race reports, and topics of conversation relevant to female riders written by members of the PEARL iZUMi CREW ambassador team. can also access exclusive information on releases and designs from the We Collection, the latest line of women’s cycling apparel from the brand.

Every aspect of the We initiative builds off of the core concept that, in such a strange day and age, “We have nothing to prove and everything to gain. We’re moving for change and loving the ride.” Resources, connections, and lessons come together on this platform for women, by women, and with women’s needs at center stage.

But playing that kind of game means putting expertise to the test with lives on the line. The best equipment is the kind that people will actually use and use well, which requires the perfect combination of features for functionality, reliability, clarity, and style. Even the best technology won’t make a difference if it’s not simple to deploy, easy to carry, and – admittedly – attractive to wear.

To make sure that the next big piece of avalanche safety gear on the market would check all those boxes, Arc’teryx and ORTOVOX, two of the most acclaimed brands in the field of mountain adventure, have come together to create the LiTRIC airbag avalanche backpack.

The LiTRIC pack, launching this coming fall of 2022, represents the next iteration of the Arc’teryx Voltair made more practical and effective in collaboration with ORTOVOX. “The key to making significant progress in avalanche safety lies in collaboration,” said Gord Rose, Senior Industrial Designer, Arc’teryx. “From our first meeting with the ORTOVOX team in the Austrian Alps, the enthusiasm about the potential of working together was palpable. Our shared passion for backcountry skiing, the mountains, safety, and the obsession to build the best equipment possible transcended any other considerations.”

The airbag weighs in at a mere 2.4 lbs, eliminating any excuse for leaving it behind for the sake of minimalism, and boasts a Lithium-Ion battery that lasts for upwards of 60 straight hours. Ultracapacitor battery technology ensures utmost speed and power upon activation for quick deployment in dire circumstances. Plus, the airbag can withstand at least two inflations on the same charge so there’s no need to hold back on a test run before the drop. Expect the airbag to handle 50 activations over the course of its life.

The pack itself will come in three sizes: 16L, 32L, and 42L. A separate avy tool pocket and external helmet, diagonal ski, and vertical snowbird attachment systems keep the inside as organized as you’d expect from clean-cut Arc’teryx designs. The pack even considers the need for keeping your skin and circulation safe from the elements too, with easy-access pockets and large zipper pulls that don’t require the kind of dexterity you’d have to remove your gloves for.

This January, the collaboration effort won an ISPO Award for exceptional innovation in the pursuit of a transformative approach to mountain safety.

“It’s been such a unique process to partner with a great brand and competitor like Arc’teryx to rethink avalanche airbag safety for a greater cause. The LiTRIC airbag system is the product of two companies that are maniacally obsessed with building the highest quality equipment and ORTOVOX’s new collection establishes another milestone in mountain safety,” says Stefan Krause, Head of Product, at ORTOVOX.

Here’s a crazy thought: what if we focused less on influencer driven marketing campaigns, and more on doing what scientists and doctors keep telling us to do?

If you’re looking for some magical snake oil to turn you into the guy from Limitless, this post isn’t for you. If you want to heighten cognitive function through a healthy blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, you may want to consider supplementing your daily diet with TruBrain.

What’s TruBrain?

TruBrain is like coffee, but better. It’s a daily nutritional supplement, suited to the needs of the modern workforce. Instead of getting you jacked up on absurd amounts of caffeine, like coffee and hype-brand energy drinks, TruBrain utilizes a balanced blend of natural ingredients to increase mental performance, without making you feel anxious and jittery.

TruBrain was designed by UCLA graduates Dr. Andrew Hill and Dr. Aida Attar, who have spent their lives studying the brainwaves of high achievers, and identifying the chemicals which best accelerate cognitive performance. Hill and Attar recognized the inherent flaws of a society who uses daily stimulants just to function. So they set out to create a superior morning beverage.

TruBrain’s unique blend of ingredients improves brain plasticity, by optimizing the flow of oxygen and glucose to your body’s control center. It combines active nootropics like L-Theanine, Uridine, Centrophenoxine, Noopept, with vital nutrients like Magnesium and Citicoline. Though their biochemical nomenclature may sound intimidating, these ingredients occur naturally in superfoods like asparagus, avocado, cane sugar, and green tea leaves.

How does it work?

TruBrain uses active nootropics and essential nutrients to supercharge cognitive function. Nootropics are an exciting new breed of dietary supplement, that are taking the world by storm. Active nootropics increase brain cell metabolism, and improve overall brain plasticity. Nootropics also heighten communication between neurons, by modulating your brain’s acetylcholine receptors.

In addition to the use of powerful nootropics, TruBrain includes a number of essential minerals and amino acids that are essential to the normal function of your brain, but deficient in most people’s diets. Magnesium and tyrosine further improve neurotransmission, while Carnitine helps neurons break down fatty acids, and Citicoline acts as a precursor to acetylcholine.

Is it safe?

TruBrain is 100% safe for use as directed. In fact, it actually has less toxicity than table salt or vitamin C.

How does it taste?

Tart and slightly fruity.

At Vanish, we love TruBrain’s rich, fruity taste almost as much as we love the heightened alertness we get from it’s morning use. TruBrain has become a staple for our office, and we can’t wait to see what they create next!
