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: $29.98 Great for: Yoga or meditation. The good: Gaiam has some really awesome designs and styles which really sets them apart from other brands. The bad: You can find mats for half the price. Rating Variety/Appearance: 10/10. Hands down my favorite thing about Gaiam Yoga Mats is their appearances. They are always really eye catching and stimulating while remaining simple enough to really let you focus in on your yoga/meditation. Feel/Comfort: 10/10. It feels a little softer than most other yoga mats and it offers some friction that is enough to keep you from sliding off the mat but not enough to get in the way of your movements. Quality/Durability: 9/10. These mats last for quite a bit of time with proper care and storage. Some weird indentations may arise but they are usually the result of poor storage decisions not the quality. Value: 7/10. These are some really awesome mats that are attractive and durable, however, you can get mats that will last just as long for much less. Essentially you are paying extra for the brand and image on the mat. Other: 10/10. At 68 inches long by 24 inches wide this mat is big enough for even the biggest and lankiest of individuals. Overall: 46/50. Verdict: This is a fantastic purchase that will really make you stick out. In my opinion the only reason to pick another brand is price. Comments are closed.

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.
