outdoorgearlab.com ? you must be kidding me, in their reviews, they leave out ~50% of competition, and their sorting of best product in category is apparently a bidding game, shifted just right to make the results believable. I do spent lots of time on researching outdoor products for my own needs, and outdoorgearlab.com is a joke



OGL used to be great. They didn't get to where they are because of scumminess. However, the quality has dropped in the last few years, and they do seem to be more influenced by affiliate marketing these days.


There's big money in affiliate marketing and very little in reviews so this gradual erosion is unfortunately universal in review sites.


So, basically just like car & driver?


Where are the best places to find good information if not outdoorgearlab?
