OUR POINT OF VIEW
Better understanding. Better decisions outside.
Gear Up With Mo is an independent podcast and editorial project for people who want to know more about the equipment they use.
WHY GEAR UP WITH MO?
A little less mystery.
A lot more curiosity.
Outdoor products come with impressive specifications and proprietary technologies. Understanding what those claims actually mean can be harder than it should be.
Gear Up With Mo investigates the technology, materials, design and history behind outdoor gear — and explains it in a way you can take with you.
We explore more than whether a product is “good” or “bad.” We ask:
- Why was it designed this way?
- How does the material work?
- Where did the technology come from?
- What problem was it trying to solve?
- What are the trade-offs?
Understanding the gear behind the adventure.
Whether you’re choosing your first shell or exploring the details of equipment you’ve used for years, there’s room for you here. Education comes first. Buying more is never the goal.
