BLISTER

Blister originated from a love for mountain adventures and a desire for reliable information about the gear we rely on for our activities. Our goal is to provide honest, thorough, and practical reviews of outdoor sports equipment. Since outdoor gear can be pricey, making the wrong choice can lead to wasted money or equipment breakdowns at crucial moments. We aim to help you make informed decisions so you can enjoy your outdoor pursuits without worry.
