Gone are the days of just buying and hoping for the best. We have spent hundreds of hours testing and reviewing the best brands, and items, in the biz, everything from down jackets to hiking pants, and for all types of activities: rain jackets, ski jackets and base layers. Not wanting to spend half a paycheck on a new jacket? We understand. This is why we have a slew of budget reviews—budget pants, budget fleece jackets, and so on. Our team of testers wore every item they wrote about, often for months at a time, analyzing each pocket, zipper, and thread.
