It would be amazing if more real reviews of this depth existed, or where easy to find. Any long reviews are usually just crap ad copy, especially for sporting gear. To find the rare honest review is getting harder and harder.

At least on Reddit people will call out the reviewers BS. I normally search for the item + review + Reddit. I think of it as actually reading what “the people” think of the product instead of the “professionals”.
- tempestn 5y agoI used to do the same thing with 'forum' in the place of reddit, for the same reason.

- gen220 5y agoAndrew Skurka has similarly meticulous “long term reviews”of running/backpacking gear: https://andrewskurka.com https://andrewskurka.com. He runs and backpacks more in one year than many people do in their lifetimes, which means he gets to observe deterioration quickly, and develop + test opinions very rapidly. Through his blog and reviews, he’s changed my mind on a lot of things that I wouldn’t have questioned otherwise. The twin “appeals to authority” of experience and conscientiousness, when plainly genuine, are a deservedly powerful thing.
