Our Gear of Choice

We bought our gear. We put it through the wringer. If it hasn’t failed us, its on the list.

Most of the links from this page are to the manufacturer’s websites. If we feel that better information is available about the gear elsewhere, the link takes you elsewhere too. We spent months on this. Maybe you wont have to.
