2005 Gear of the Year Outside

The holidays are officially here, which means you need to start thinking
about gifts for all your friends, co-workers, enemies that you wish to “keep closer” and significant others. And while
Gadling will be doing a gift guide for y’all very shortly, I figured in the meantime, as we gather our ideas, I’d
direct you to this fine guide done
by the folks at Outside Magazine. Whether you are looking for tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, a new whitewater kayak,
mountain bike…whatever. If it’s outdoors-related, there is probably a recommendation here. Give it a look, and then
keep your eyes open for the Gadling guide coming soon.
