Choosing the right gear for a Rocky Mountain adventure takes some thought and planning. Our goal at The Outdoor Corps is to provide readers with information on a wide variety of equipment to help you prepare for whatever activity is of interest. Whether its hiking, trail running, camping, climbing, skiing, etc., we feature equipment reviews for all types of outdoor activities. Accordingly, we thoroughly test products and provide unbiased and unfiltered recommendations on what we think of the equipment. In some cases, we also provide equipment reviews based on extensive research to help you decide if it’s worthy of purchase.

In the “Gear” category, you’ll find “best of” recommendations to help guide you through gear available in the marketplace. Furthermore, you’ll find detailed reviews that go in-depth on a particular piece of gear, featuring its pros and cons. With these details, we hope to help you make an informed decision about the equipment. So, have fun out there and never stop exploring!
