Backpacking Gear Reviews

Backpacking is one of our favorite ways to get outside—there is nothing quite like the immersive experience of hiking, eating, and sleeping outdoors. Without the right gear, backpacking can quickly get uncomfortable. Our expert team of backpackers has hiked trails across the globe, and we know all about backpacking packs, hiking boots, ultralight tents, sleeping bags and pads, and other backpacking accessories that make the experience better.

Check out all our favorites, from torture-tested backpacking tents to super comfortable packs. We thoroughly test each piece of gear, so you can feel confident we’re recommending the best backpacking gear on the market.
