ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 is the first real off-grid AC and it’s discounted right now

Zero Breeze Mark 2 real off-grid AC being carried
Zero Breeze

Last summer, and most of last year, really, was one of the hottest on record. This year looks to be just as hot, so you’ll need a reliable way to cool down. The problem with that is that air conditioners are expensive. They’re expensive to install and run, and if you’re living off-grid, you can pretty much forget about AC at all — until now, anyway. ZERO BREEZE has introduced the first truly off-grid air conditioner that’s ultra-portable — at only 16.5 pounds — and battery-powered. The 24-volt battery can last up to eight hours in sleep mode, perfect for extended off-grid use or van-living. You can even connect solar panels or plug it into DC or AC outlets to boost battery life, if and when available. The handheld and lightweight design works exceptionally well for easy transportation and travel, so you can bring the Mark 2 wherever your adventures take you. Use code SPRING15 at checkout through ZERO BREEZE for a limited time to get 15% off your purchase — good from March 15 to March 21.

What can the ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 do for you?

Zero Breeze Mark 2 real off-grid AC in use in tent
Zero Breeze

Summer can be hot and clammy, and it can even get miserably wet if you live in a humid climate.  One of the trade-offs of staying off-grid is that you’re living more efficiently, which also means you’re interested in cutting down on power usage and comparable utilities. Even if that’s not your goal, and you’re just out for an adventure, you’ll have to make the same concessions. The wilderness is, well, the wilderness. But with the Mark 2, a portable, battery-powered AC unit, you can cool off anytime, anywhere.

There is no more wasting gas in your van or wearing down its battery, no more hot and suffocating tents or cabins, and no more overheating. You can simply cool down with the Mark 2 when you need to. The micro twin-cylinder compressor achieves an ideal balance between weight and performance, mainly because it’s the size of a soda can. It ensures efficient, reliable cooling without compromising portability. Indeed, the Mark 2 is portable at just 16.5 pounds, with a built-in carrying handle, convenient power options, and rapid cooling — it can lower the air outlet temperature by 30 degrees in just 10 minutes (2,300 BTUs).

Think about how hot and miserable it can get inside a tent or temporary living quarters at night, never mind during the daytime. The Mark 2 can make it comfortable in a matter of minutes. It can quickly go from being one of the most uncomfortable adventures you’ve ever had to one of the most memorable. And if you’re trying to cut back on fossil fuel energy usage, the solar option is a huge bonus.

From March 15 until March 21, you can get the Mark 2 at a reduced price of 15% off when you use code SPRING15 at checkout. Even without that incredible offer, now’s the best time to buy before it gets swelteringly hot. Do yourself a favor if you plan to spend any time outside exploring this summer: grab a Mark 2 and secure your comfort.

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.
