Salomon Bonatti Pro WP Jacket

July 30, 2017July 30, 2017 by Jed Doane
We were impressed by Salomon’s Bonatti jacket last year, and there are some key improvements to the new Bonatti Pro WP that make it even better.

Dave Alie reviews the Boreal Mutant for Blister Gear Review

Boreal Mutant

July 29, 2017July 28, 2017 by Dave Alie
The Mutant is yet another shoe that is said to "excel in all areas," but where does it really shine, and how does it compare to the competition?

Luke Koppa reviews the Strafe Recon Jacket and Pants for Blister Gear Review

Strafe Recon Jacket and Pants

July 15, 2018July 27, 2017 by Luke Koppa
The Recon Jacket and Pants are Strafe’s first foray into 4-season softshells, and we’ve been impressed by their performance.

Sam Shaheen reviews the Mammut Zephir Altitude harness for Blister Gear Review.

Mammut Zephir Altitude Harness

July 26, 2017July 26, 2017 by Sam Shaheen
The Mammut Zephir Altitude Harness is a very light and packable harness that's great on glaciers or easy alpine climbs.

Brian Lindahl reviews the Head Kore 93 for Blister Gear Review

2018-2019 HEAD Kore 93

November 27, 2018July 25, 2017 by Brian Lindahl
The HEAD Kore 93 is the lightest inbounds ski we’ve ever seen, and it punches well above its weight class in terms of stability. Check out our full review.

Paul Forward reviews the Salomon S-Lab X-Alp for Blister Gear Review.

2019-2020 Salomon S/Lab X-Alp Boot

February 10, 2020July 23, 2017 by Paul Forward
The new Salomon S/Lab X-Alp builds on the success of the Arc’teryx Procline with a more ski-focused design.

Noah Bodman reviews the Rockshox Reverb 1x lever for Blister Gear review.

Rockshox Reverb 1x Remote

July 21, 2017July 21, 2017 by Noah Bodman
The Rockshox Reverb is one of the most ubiquitous dropper posts on the market, but it’s always had one major shortcoming: the remote. The new 1x Remote sets out to fix that.

Sam Shaheen reviews the G3 SENDr 112 for Blister Gear Review

2019-2020 G3 SENDr 112

February 3, 2020July 20, 2017 by Sam Shaheen
The G3 SENDr 112 is supposed to be a hard-charging, backcountry ski. So how serious of a ski is it, and where does it truly excel?

Noah Bodman reviews the Yeti SB5 for Blister Gear Review

2017 Yeti SB5

July 18, 2017July 18, 2017 by Noah Bodman
If you’re looking for a mellow cruiser, the Yeti SB5 wouldn’t be our first recommendation. But if you want a versatile bike that can be rallied hard, it should be on your short list.

Tom Collier reviews the Fox 36 RC2 for Blister Gear Review.

2017 Fox 36 RC2 Float Fork

July 19, 2017July 16, 2017 by Tom Collier
The Fox 36 RC2 Float might be the stiffest 27.5" single crown fork we've ridden, but how does it stack up to forks like the RockShox Pike?

Tom Collier reviews the Fox Transfer Dropper for Blister Gear Review.

Fox Transfer Dropper Post

July 16, 2017 by Tom Collier
Fox's Transfer dropper post works well, and has some design features that should help it avoid the durability issues that plague many droppers.

Noah Bodman reviews the Devinci Django 29 for Blister Gear Review.

2016 Devinci Django Carbon 29 GX

July 14, 2017 by Noah Bodman
While there are better purpose-built bikes out there, for an all-around, one bike quiver, it’s pretty tough to top the Devinci Django 29.

Cy Whitling reviews the Kelty TN2 Tent for Blister Gear Review.

Kelty TN2 Tent

August 23, 2018July 13, 2017 by Cy Whitling
The Kelty TN2 is a pretty packable, affordable option for anyone looking for a roomy two-person tent.

November 28, 2018July 10, 2017 by Paul Forward
The Dynafit TLT7 is the latest AT boot in one of the most distinguished product lines in ski touring, and it’s a radical departure from its predecessors. Check out our review.

Luke Koppa reviews the Black Diamond Helio 105 Carbon for Blister Gear Review

2019-2020 Black Diamond Helio 105 Carbon

February 3, 2020July 9, 2017 by Luke Koppa
Black Diamond says the Helio 105 Carbon “balances playful, soft-snow performance with technical precision,” which sounds a bit contradictory, so how playful or precise is this ski? Could it be both?

Dave Alie reviews the MSR Flylite for Blister Gear Review

MSR Flylite 2-Person Trekking Pole Shelter

July 8, 2017 by Dave Alie
There are a lot of options on the minimalist end of the backcountry-shelter spectrum, and the MSR Flylite is one of the best we've used in terms of weight, interior space, and price.

2017-2018 G3 Scala LT Skins

September 29, 2019July 4, 2017 by Sam Shaheen

Kuat NV Base 2.0 Bike Rack

July 3, 2017 by Ron Brandt
Kuat has updated their NV series of racks with the NV Base 2.0, so how does it perform, and how does it compare to the old NV 1.0?
