What Treeline Readers Loved: November 2024
14 most popular gear items of the season among the Treeline fans
December 5th, 2024
As the winter and holiday season is upon us, it's fun to see what other Treeline Review readers are reading and buying. Cold weather means time to switch to base layers, down jackets, and winter boots. Days get shorter and nights get longer and that trusty headlamp is essential for walks around the neighborhood, training runs, and epic hikes. Snow is falling and skiers and snowboarders are getting their stoke on.
As temperatures dip, we see more people picking gifts of gloves, jackets, base layers, and boots for extreme cold. People are grabbing gear to stay warm and cozy, whether for themselves or their loved ones.
This month, treeline readers are buying for others (and themselves):
Everyone knows you can't go wrong gifting a pair of warm socks
People are excited about the just released Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED watch.
You all are are getting ready for travel season by getting their ski and snowboard travel bags
