Figuring out what backpacking gear is worth getting can be overwhelming. It's hard to know what's worth spending money on. I get to use a ton of backpacking gear, so I am well versed in what is truly standout gear. This is my list of gear that I've used in the last year (although not necessarily that it's brand new gear for 2024) that has truly stood out as the best gear available.
