No 560 - Outdoor Gear Coach

Advice is easy to come by when it comes to outdoors clothing and gear. But is it the ‘right’ advice? All you need to do is post a simple question on any of the social platforms and you’ll get endless replies, some of which may be from experienced professionals and others could be enthusiastic hobbyists, who are well meaning but limited in their product awareness. Just like asking Dr Google about your medical ailments, you need to read any replies with a certain amount of question. Who is giving you this advice, what experience do they have, do they understand the technicalities of the fabrics and product manufacture of the item concerned and do they have any particular bias towards a brand for any reason.
