What Hikers Say About Our Gear
I’ve hiked over 500 miles in my Gander Mountain boots. They’re still comfortable and waterproof. The traction is excellent on wet rocks and the support keeps my ankles stable on uneven trails. Best investment I’ve made for hiking.
My Gander Mountain daypack has been on every weekend hike for three years. The hip belt actually distributes weight well, the pockets are perfectly placed, and nothing has broken or torn. It’s exactly what I needed without costing a fortune.
I recommend Gander Mountain gear to all my hiking students. It’s affordable for beginners but quality enough that they won’t need to replace it. Nobody should skip hiking because gear is too expensive.
