As independent and corporate store retailers continue to drive the outdoor market, products themselves are becoming feature/function specific, and technologically advanced in design to remain competitive and attractive to consumers in the market place. In many cases superior products are a result of this advancement, on the other hand, some products that make the sale rack were better left on the drawing board. Instead, succumbing to competitive pressure, they are rushed through production to meet such demand. It is our mission to address this exact concern. Unlike a retailer, we are not physically selling anything, and have no profit incentives to lead you to a specific product. Our goal is to expose the positive, and in some cases the negative attributes of products introduced to our great outdoors, purely for our readers benefit. Please enjoy the information we have accumulated for you, the consumer, and check back frequently as our data is constantly updated.
