There’s something we have to admit: we love outdoor gear. We love buying gear, using gear, tasting gear, and most importantly: we love reviewing outdoor gear.
That’s why all of the gear that we review is purchased at full price, tested, photographed, and delivered to you via the magic carpet that is the internet. We hand test every piece of gear, subjecting it to all sorts of conditions both real and imagined.
Our hope is that you can find the right piece of gear for your favorite outdoor adventure, be it hiking, backpacking, or rock climbing.
