The Intex Challenger K2 Inflatable Kayak is a complete package. It comes with front and back grab lines, a removable skeg, inflatable seats and backrests, a cargo net, and two 86-inch collapsible aluminum paddles. You also get a double-action hand pump for quickly inflating or deflating the craft. Just bring your life jacket and start paddling.

When inflated, the Intex Challenger K2 Inflatable Kayak is 11.5-feet long, 2.5-fee wide, and 1.25-feet deep. The K2 meets U.S. Coast Guard regulations and is NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) certified and TUV approved. TUV is an international safety standard. Made of 30-guage PVC vinyl, the Challenger K2 is rated for a maximum of 400 pounds including passengers and gear.

This kayak is small and light enough to stash in your vehicle so you’ll never miss a chance to try out a new lake, river, or stream. Deflated, the K2 Challenger packs down to just 16.25- x 12.50- x 23.13 inches, (LWD). It weighs just over 38 pounds so it’s easy to transport before or after it’s inflated.

This low-profile inflatable kayak is designed to handle rough waters but remains comfortable for just noodling around a lake. You wouldn’t be likely to use the Challenger K2 for long voyages, but it’s appropriate for more casual occasions such as weekend trips or general recreation purposes including fishing.

This is an excellent opportunity to pick up a versatile inflatable kayak that can hold two people. Walmart’s normal price for the Intex Challenger K2 Inflatable Kayak is $340, but you can save $175 if you buy today for $164. Shipping is free but we don’t know how long the sale will last, so don’t hesitate if the Challenger K2’s specifications meet your requirements. This deal is a great chance to get on the water this weekend without spending a lot of money.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style

Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves.

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand

Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.

Austrian motorcycle company KTM’s dirt bikes have a reputation for ripping horsepower and world-title-winning performance. Across the world’s motocross tracks and enduro courses, the brand’s orange bikes win titles and provide the thrill of riding off-road.
