Outside Magazine Unveils Redesigned Summer Issue

May 20, 2025

BOULDER, Colo. – May 20, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – With a cover story featuring celebrated scientist, explorer and TV host Albert Lin, the Summer 2025 issue of Outside Magazine, on newsstands today, is packed with over 120 pages of captivating adventure stories, engrossing profiles, helpful how-to guides, gear reviews, and more. The new issue marks the debut of Outside’s reimagined print edition, now released quarterly, with an elevated coffee table book format, premium paper stock, and a renewed commitment to best-in-class journalism and bold storytelling.

The evolution of the magazine reflects Outside’s move toward creating a lasting, collectible experience for readers who value in-depth, print journalism that celebrates the spirit of exploration, and signals a broader strategy to invest in longform print storytelling while continuing to grow Outside‘s digital, podcast, and video platforms.

“In a world of short-form digital content and fleeting attention, we wanted to create something new and enduring,” said Kevin Sintumuang, Editorial Director of Outside Magazine. “This refreshed format allows us to better reflect the beauty of the stories we tell and continue to position Outside Magazine as a leading voice in adventure storytelling.”

Alongside Lin’s cover story, the May 2025 issue includes a feature by Will Grant about a US team’s ambitious entry into the World Nomad Games in Kazakhstan, where they compete in the wild sport kok boru, a Mad Max-meets-rodeo game on horseback. Also in the new issue, Gloria Liu examines the importance of outdoor communities and forming lifelong friendships through shared activities, Tom Vanderbilt asks the experts what makes for an ideal adventure buddy, and Frederick Dreier interviews legendary travel expert Rick Steves.

The new issue is available, starting today, at retailers and bookstores nationwide.
