Section Hikers Backpacking Blog Hiking and Backpacking for Beginners and Experts
SectionHiker.com raffles most of the review gear we receive from manufacturers back to our readers because we think it’s wrong to profit from gear samples and because it raises ethical and impartiality issues. You can read more about our gear review and gear redistribution policy here: A Note on SectionHiker’s Product Reviews, Gear Raffles and Reader Polls.
