How Our Experts Curate, & Review
Expert curation. Our review process starts with selection: Whether we are reviewing hiking pants, 35mm cameras, cabin or sauna kits, our expert reviewers use their hard-earned knowledge and experience to sort through hundreds of options to identify the most trustworthy, high-quality, well-designed outdoor gear and lifestyle products.
Form and function above all else. Featured products must meet the following requirements based on our cumulative experience and Dieter Rams' principles of good design:
- useful
- honest
- aesthetic
- functional
- high-quality
- long-lasting
- environmentally friendly
Recommendations you can trust. Our reviewers are professional athletes, award-winning journalists, certified experts, and obsessive enthusiasts with decades of combined experience in hiking & backpacking, camping, running, cycling, and climbing, among other core outdoor activities—not to mention a skilled knowledge of architecture, glamping, saunas, & cabin building. Our experience for your benefit.
All paid content is carefully created & clearly labeled. From time to time we may partner with respected brands on sponsored articles to promote products we ourselves use and trust. All content is marked as such, as transparency is important to us—we do not accept paid placement in editorial gear guides and product roundups. These occasional collaborations help ensure all our rich content remains free and accessible to all and not hidden behind a pay wall.
