This year, instead of somewhat randomly picking gear we think your loved ones might like this holiday season, we put together various lists of essential gear over the past couple of months. Grouped by sport, the Essentials include hundreds of items that we have tested and continue to use ourselves. We are still in the process of creating more lists and reviews, so keep checking back in the coming weeks (for example, more outdoor, ice climbing, cold weather running, and hiking still to come). You can also find all of our Essentials posts under the Series>Essentials tab on the top menu.
