At T3, we believe life’s better when you step outside, and May is the perfect time to do it. In honour of National Walking Month and the arrival of sunnier days (hopefully), we’re kicking off Travel and Outdoor Month 2025.
Across four weeks, we’ll bring you everything you need to make the most of the great outdoors, whether hitting the hills, pitching up a tent, jetting off abroad, or just looking for smart ways to pack lighter and travel smarter.
Lucky for us, T3 members are expert travellers, spend a lot of time outdoors and test a ton of related gear. From the best carry-on suitcases and buds that help you retain your sanity to women's walking shoes and camping knives, the magazine is a treasure trove of travel and outdoor content.
