GEAR OF THE YEAR 2023-2024

In selecting our ‘Gear of the Year’ winners for each season, we are looking for things with a little special sauce. Gear that stood out and made for better days in the mountains. Though we were pretty happy with most of the stuff we tested, our winners for this past year were exceptional in their design and materials. Stay tuned for the springtime when we’ll add another batch after this season winds down.
