Adrienne Donica's Picks
The Expert: I've tested hiking, camping, and other adventure gear as Popular Mechanics' outdoors editor, before going on to edit gear reviews for Popular Mechanics, Runner's World, and Bicycling as Expert Reviews editor.
Kevin Cortez's Picks
The Expert: I've been testing products for three years, including a lot of gear and outdoorsy items that I bring along on my weekend hiking club meets. Based on my hands-on tinkering, I swear by these practical outdoor products.
Will Egensteiner's Picks
The Expert: I've been reviewing outdoor products for almost a decade now, first as Outside magazine's gear editor and now as director of product content for Popular Mechanics, Runner's World, Bicycling, and Best Products. I dig into my prodigious gear stash whenever I head out rock or ice climbing, car camping, hiking, or running.
Zoë Hannah's Picks
The Expert: I'm a lifelong camping and hiking obsessive with the gear to show for it. I prefer to get as much use as I can out of my gear before moving on to something new. I'm still using my first REI Co-Op hiking pack, despite its broken buckles and well-worn hip belt. I always look for new gear that’ll last as long as possible, and only add truly crucial, multifunctional items to my kit.
Danny Perez's Picks
The Expert: I grew up taking trips to west Texas for hiking and camping trips and have always been obsessed with figuring out what makes a product good. Now I test gear for Popular Mechanics, Runner's World, and Bicycling.
