For outdoor gear I definitely check outdoor gear lab as a data point before buying anything... (https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/ https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/). I've found their assessments mostly inline with my own for a lot of things I have used or purchased in the past. For reference, I'd classify myself as a recovering outdoor gear addict of 10+ years.
