If you get properly into any action sport you are likely to become a bit of a gear geek. Most of us like talking about the equipment almost as much as we like using it! So us AWE365 gear geeks decided an outdoor activity equipment blog that is full of adventure sports gear articles needed to be written.
A big part of this is reviews of gear we use. Now we don’t feel that a shallow ‘it was great, here are the features’ review really suffices. So an AWE365 gear review is detailed after lots of testing, so you can really find out how well the action sport equipment works.
There are also outdoor activity gear tips. Such as how to look after particular equipment or what to take away with you on a holiday. This is all from personal experience so expect some useful advice along with a bit of geeky waffle…
Finally everyone loves a top 10. So when one of us knows enough about a particular type of equipment we will write adventure sports gear article to let you know what we think is best.
Being up front we are not huge on gear news. This outdoor activity equipment blog is more about detailed personal experience. That said sometimes a bit of news grabs our fancy and we will feel the need to write about it.
We hope you find the adventure sports gear articles interesting and informative.
