We’re outdoor adventurers from across the country who believe that less time researching means more time spent outdoors.

Using our own experience, field-testing, and a meta-review process that takes into account expert opinions and everyday users, we seek to bring you gear review with perspective.

Our goal is to give you recommendations for gear you will love.

Our mission is to reduce the impact on the planet by helping you buy right the first time.
