Welcome to Switchback Travel’s Gear Closet, a collection of outdoor gear articles and recommendations from our team of experienced professionals. Our climbing writer Chris Kalman, for example, is a sponsored climber who spends three months each year in Patagonia (he climbs and guides throughout the rest of the year as well). Our skiing writer, Jamey Voss, has lived the ski industry for over a decade while working for publications like Powder Magazine, The Ski Journal, and ESPN.com. So when you need trustworthy outdoor gear advice, you know right where to find us.
Below are the outdoor activities we cover (more are on the way), and inside each are a number of specific gear articles. You can support our work by shopping through the links on our pages, visiting our Support Us page, or by using our handy Outdoor Gear Finder to search for the lowest real-time prices. Enjoy!
