I’m looking for a site that reviews camping/hiking/outdoor equipment..?
……by the people who use it. I dont want another “outfitter” promoting their products, but a site where people who have actually used the products comment on their durability effctiveness and even the trails and areas they have explored.
Any one know of a site like this?
No thanx to dragonflyboy for stating the obvious (and not at all helpful) google search option, which I’ve already spent hours looking on for this very thing.
Thanx to NikkiC, but i used to subscribe to Backpacker and even have last years gearguide. No their site doesn’t have their most recent gear reviews, just older ones. Although their site does have some great videos of people testing gear, I still find any company that could possibly receive monitary funding for backing certain products, a bit dubious.
google.com is your friend
Backpacker Magazine just came out with their 2008 gear review guide.. i don’t know if it’s online or not, but their reviews are always amazing… they employ people to use certain gear thru the year and then rate items (like boots, tents, packs, sleeping bags, etc) on their performance, cost and eco-friendliness…
google sites.. and if you cannot find what you want, spend the 5 bucks to buy Backpacker….
peace
Try Backpacker magazine’s site and Outside magazine’s site. Outside’s website actually has some pretty good reviews (better than what are usually in the magazine, which seem kinda glitzy).
