Welcome To The New Gear Patrol
See our Letter From The Editor
Welcome (back) to Gear Patrol. In response to the ravenous clamoring of our loyal patrons, Gear Patrol’s own transition team has toiled tirelessly to offer you a web resource unlike any other. The new Gear Patrol is a site for men, by men – and a damn good one at that. Every tweak and improvement has been made with you, our reader, in mind. We know that this latest evolution of Gear Patrol looks better than ever, and now you’ll be able to find the content that suits you with incredible ease.
By way of a tour, we invite you to look around site. Feel free to poke and prod; you can’t hurt anything. We want you to dig right in. The new Gear Patrol is meant to be eaten with your hands, not just admired from afar.
The first thing you’ll likely notice is our featured article, staring your right in the face. Every day, when you come to get your Gear Patrol, we’ll be right up front with the one post you’ve just got to see. To make sure that you don’t miss any of these important digests, we’ll keep a running tally of them just to the right of the daily feature.
As you explore further down the page, you’ll see our veritable table of contents. From here on out, we’re simplifying the filing of our content into ten categories, making it easier than ever to see what we’ve got to say about the things that interest you most.
Just below the content bar, running down the left side of the page, you’ll see a familiar Gear Patrol feature, a chronological listing of our latest articles, regardless of their category, providing you the ease of reading a blog. This is where you’ll come to see the full breadth of GP’s expertise.
You can search any of the 1200+ articles in our comprehensive archives or by publication date and category via a drop down menu at the lower right of the page. This is where you’d go to pull up all of the features penned by your favorite Gear Patrol scribe (hint, hint). As you are consuming any and all of our product related posts, be advised that we’ll always try to provide you with a direct link to purchase the item from a trusted source. We get a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that we can help you find just what you’ve been looking for.
To the right, you’ll see some exciting new features including a weekly poll, drink recommendations, our favorite bits of advice and quotation, quick links to preferred gear, as well as one of our favorite Gear Girls to keep an eye on your browsing. At the bottom of the page, you’ll now find editor’s recommendations for must-see web content found at Gear Patrol and beyond.
We hope that you’ll enjoy the new Gear Patrol as much as we already do. For all of the improvement to the site, one thing hasn’t changed: Gear Patrol still pledges to deliver the best in original, authentic content to you daily authored by real men. We look forward great reviews and editorials considered and authored by our newly expanded crew.
As always, we invite your comments and critique below, so don’t be shy to give us your feedback on the new site, as well as our general awesomeness. Here’s to you and to the newly advanced Gear Patrol.
