About Us

Have you ever wanted to buy an outdoor product and been stumped about which product is best? Or, worse, bought a product only to learn later that you didn't buy the right one for your needs? I have, and that is why I started GearLab.
The GearLab mission is simple: to create world's best outdoor gear reviews.
We believe the world's best gear reviews are the ones that help you select the right products for your specific needs, budget, and interests.
Our secret sauce is side-by-side comparative reviews.
Here's how it works:
  1. We select the top products in each category.
  1. We buy the products we review ourselves, at retail just like you, to help assure complete objectivity and independence in our ratings. We will not accept free evaluation units from manufacturers.
  1. Our Review Editors put the products through detailed side-by-side tests, both in the lab and in the field, and carefully assess performance, ease of use, and reliability.
  1. We rank the products, explain why, and give awards to the best.
  1. After our testing and reviews are finished, we sell reviewed products on eBay at big discounts. Check it out at: https://www.ebay.com/usr/outdoorgearlab-store

We are reader-supported. When you click on links to buy products we may earn money to support our work.
Our review process starts with selection: we look at hundreds of products to determine the top contenders in each category. We then buy the top contenders for detailed hands-on testing.
To provide a fair basis for scoring, we develop a set of objective lab tests for each category that will help us quantify important differences between competing products.

Eva s First Elk Pursuit Colorado s Jurassic Park

“Shh!” hissed my dad. “Tigers?!” My whisper grew more audible.  “SHHH!” “Elephants? Chimpanzees? Gorillas? Sasquatch??!” “Elk,” my dad replied. “Those are elk?” I asked.  “Yes, those are elk. It’s called bugling.”  “Bugling?” There are better words to describe the wild tones echoing around us. These elk shrieks, squeal and roar at the exact pitch and tone that sends chills down my spine and triggers my flight vs fight response. Or at least triggers the flight part. Find a happy place. Find a happy place.  Growing up in British Columbia, I spent my fair share of time in the mountains. The Shockey freezer was always full of deer, moose and caribou, but not elk. My dad hunted black bears every spring without fail, headed to the Yukon every fall, Saskatchewan in the winter but only once did “Colorado” ever grace his calendar, and seldom did an elk grace our kitchen table.  Up until last year, the only elk I’d seen was one Roosevelt elk mou...
