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: $49.99 Great for: Hikes, runs and working out. The good: This shirt will not pick up a smell, no matter how much you try. The bad: The Merino wool can be itchy to people with sensitive skin. Rating Variety/Appearance: 7/10. A nice, clean (but standard) design. There's nothing flashy about it, and not much variation but what it does it does well. Feel/Comfort: 8/10. This shirt fits like a glove, but the Merino wool can get a bit itchy compared to other shirts. Quality/Durability: 9/10. The merino wool stands up to the test of time. It remains smell and stretch free after many uses and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. However, it's sometimes itchy feel could be improved upon. Value:10/10.Having the baa code to know your shirt is ethically made matched with the extremely durable design makes this an excellent value for your hard earned dollar. Other: 9/10. The ice breaker line makes for easy layering and adjusting, giving the shirt a wider range of uses than standard light weight shirts. Overall:43/50. Verdict: This is a great shirt that anyone should be able to get use out of. The price, while up there, is easily justified. 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.
