What People Say

“Trail and Field's gear reviews are the most brutally honest in the outdoor space. They called out two pairs of "flagship" trail shoes as overbuilt for most runners. Saved me $300.”

Matt Collins

Matt Collins

Ultra Runner

“The national park day hike guides are extraordinary. I have done six hikes from their recommendations and every single one was exactly as described — including the parking warnings.”

Dana Walsh

Dana Walsh

Weekend Hiker

“I use their cycling training plans with my beginner group riders. The progression is smart and the gear recommendations are honest about when cheap is fine and when you should invest.”

Our FAQs

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Do outdoor brands pay for reviews?
No. We field-test all gear on real terrain. Brands provide press samples sometimes, which we always disclose. No payment buys a positive review or suppresses a negative one.
Are training plans for beginners or experienced athletes?
Both. Every training plan specifies the entry requirement clearly. We have plans from "first time exercising" through ultramarathon and multi-day alpine climb preparation.
Do you recommend gear for specific body types or fitness levels?
Yes. Our guides specify weight range considerations for pack fit, wide-foot options in shoe reviews, and fitness level requirements in adventure guides.
How current are your adventure guides?
All national park and trail guides are verified annually for permit requirement changes, trail closures, and permit lottery updates. We flag seasonal restrictions throughout.
