This is the Life

July 21, 2010

Ah, the life of a gear tester. It’s pretty good. Everything I do outdoors usually involves some sort of new gear to test which goes hand in hand with composing new reviews in my head as I try to enjoy myself. Try not to feel too sorry for me.

Now, if you know anything about the gear testing gig, you know it’s pretty simple in a lot of ways. You take the gear, you use it like you normally would, you see what you think of it. Sometimes you get gear to test that isn’t what you usually wouldn’t think to use, though. Case in point: the shoes in the pic below. Crossover water shoe things…eh…I had to make myself try them. I would never have thought to buy such a thing. Usually I wear water sandals, so water shoes were kind of a new thing for me. And now I love them. And I have the side benefit of having a fun time at the lake and getting these great pics taken.

So my new favorite product to test is water shoes, because testing them gives us days like this one. In a few months I’m sure I’ll be back to liking skis the best, because of the days I get to have while trying them out.
