Gear is perhaps the most important part of any trip you can make in NH. Not only will the right gear make your trip more comfortable, but it can also save your life in an emergency. Here we will offer our opinions on the gear that we've found to be helpful, not necessary, essential, and just plain old BAD. You may agree, you may not. But all of the products we cover here have been battle tested in the White Mountains.

Keep an eye out for our next gear review, the Black Diamond Strap Crampon!
