BLISTER Buyer’s Guide, Pt. 2 + Reviews of Other Buyer’s Guides

In this episode, we answer a bunch of the questions you submitted, then assess some of the product reviews from several of the other ski review publications — and one gear recommendation website.

And fair warning here, we get pretty fired up. Because there are still a lot of fake reviews and extremely misleading product reviews and product recommendation services out there, and this needs to stop.

There is a little bit of strong language in this episode, so please don’t listen if that offends you. But we here at BLISTER are far more offended by the fake and / or misleading reviews and product recommendations in the outdoor sports world that are posing as legitimate consumer product information. Anyway, judge for yourself.

TOPICS & TIMES:

  • Listener questions (4:21)
  • Do we need reviewers of every size? (37:51)
  • curated.com (46:30)
  • Product reviews from other buyer’s guides (53:05)

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
