This month's Trends
This month is all about investing in bigger ticket items that will last—and items that will likely see a price increase later in the year. GPS Watches, tents, and good hiking and running shoes.
People are getting gear on sale and at lower prices while they can! Our hiking watch stories are trending and we're seeing a surge in interest in electronics like GPS Satellite Messengers and Personal Locator Beacons.
The new Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire GPS watch is inspiring you to train hard and track your data.
It’s time to get on the water! People are prioritizing water safety by seeing what we recommend in our Best Kids’ Life Jackets and getting it before kids get in the water.
It's all about the small luxuries! Our best women's hiking underwear and best hiking sports bras are inspiring people to do themselves a solid and get a pair of underwear that makes them want to hike.
