All of our reviews are 100% honest evaluations of our real-life experience with gear. This is all stuff we actually use, test, and photograph during hikes we do.
Some of the gear we write about is purchased by us and some of it is sent to us for free. Our commitment is to give you truthful, useful, and practical info on the products we review.
Our readers are our number one priority, not our relationships with brands. In other words, we don’t mind burning bridges to bring you great content.
