Field-Tested Wisdom from the OGE Crew.

Think of this section as an extension of our shop floor—a place where you can get honest answers from experienced folks who genuinely love what they do.

The Outdoor Gear Exchange Knowledge section is unique because it is 100% staff-written. Our guides on skiing, snowboarding, climbing, hiking, biking, and paddling come directly from our team of experts who are out there doing these activities every chance they get. They’ve made the mistakes, mastered the skills, and field-tested the gear so you don't have to guess.

We’re sharing this first-hand expertise to help you make informed decisions, whether you're choosing your first sleeping pad or dialing in your AT bindings. We want to bridge the gap between knowing what gear you need and understanding why you need it.

Step into our virtual schoolhouse, tap into our collective experience, and build the confidence for your next great adventure.
