Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $11.99 Great for: Home gyms and exercising at home. The good: The neoprene is very soft and won't bang up any floors or furniture if dropped. The bad: There is nothing that sets this dumbbell apart from any other dumbbell. Rating Variety/Appearance: 6/10. They come in a few sizes (although they don't get very heavy) and a few colors. Otherwise they seem very standard and undistinguishable from other neoprene weights. The only way you can actually tell who it is by is from the little C9 above their weight. Functionality: 10/10. Dumbbells are easily my favorite piece of work out equipment. Any upper body muscle group can easily be targeted with a little knowledge and a dumbbell which makes this an awesome tool for any work out enthusiast. Quality/Durability: 10/10. I've seen no noticeable depreciation. With proper care these weights are going to last a very long time. Value: 7/10. These are pretty much in the middle of the pack, nothing too bad or too good and an average price. Other: 5/10. I'm actually kind of let down with this product, I just wish there was something, literally anything, that makes people gravitate towards it but there just isn't. Overall: 38/50. Verdict: I could not recommend having a home gym or some free weights enough and dumbbells are a crucial part of that, but as for any reason to pick Champion over any other brand I have nothing.

About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
