We are back with another edition of: Overrated?! Underrated?! Or Properly Rated?!

Four-wheel drive, satellite messaging and electric coolers take center stage in this episode of Gear and Beer, where our gear expert and cicerone, Justin Houseman, determines FOR ALL TIME whether these items are overrated, underrated, or properly rated!

Today on the show we welcome our new women's Gear & Beer correspondents Emily Holland and Angie Marie from Wild Poppy Creative and the Shiny Objects Podcast to discuss two innovative women's outdoor apparel brands, BRANWYN and Seniq.

The conversation dives into the challenges of finding functional, stylish clothing that caters specifically to women's needs in outdoor activities.

Emily and Angie share their experiences testing various products from BRANWYN, who specializes in merino wool underwear and activewear and Seniq a new women's outdoor apparel brand that just launched earlier this year.

And for today's beer pairing our hosts and guests highlight several breweries known for the women who run them.

Live from Missoula, MT... it's GEAR & BEER!

Today Colin & Justin dive offer their highlights of the Outdoor Media Summit 'gear speed dating' event. The duo share their top 5 favorite items for the event, including products from Old Town, Passenger, Patagonia, Nemo, and Lowa.

And after bribing the guy at the hotel bar, they were able to pair all of this gear with a couple of Big Sky IPA's from Big Sky Brewing. Because even if they sky didn't look at that much larger outside the hotel window, the boys were still in Montana!

(This episode was produced on location in Missoula, MT. Any weird audio echoes you may here is a result of the haunted hotel room it was recorded in.)
