Welcome to Alpine Edge Gear!

I’m Rahm Kohistani, the founder of this site and your guide in the world of outdoor equipment. If you’re anything like me, you believe the right gear isn’t just a purchase—it’s an investment in your adventure, your safety, and your passion for the great outdoors.

My journey into the heart of gear testing started over 15 years ago. Growing up with the majestic Rockies as my playground, I learned early on that reliable equipment can be the difference between an unforgettable experience and a tough lesson learned. From dusty trails and serene waters to snowy peaks and winding cycling paths, I’ve spent countless hours putting gear through its paces.

Here at Alpine Edge Gear, my mission is straightforward: to provide you with honest, in-depth, and practical reviews and recommendations. I cut through the marketing jargon and get straight to what matters: how gear performs in real-world conditions. Whether you’re searching for the perfect pair of running pants, the most reliable cycling helmet, a durable backpack for your travels, or the best goggles for your next water adventure, I aim to give you the insights you need.

This site is for every American adventurer – from the weekend warrior looking to try something new, to the seasoned pro gearing up for their next big expedition. I understand that your time and resources are valuable, and I’m committed to helping you make informed decisions so you can spend less time worrying about your gear and more time enjoying the experiences it enables.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope Alpine Edge Gear becomes your trusted resource for all things outdoor.

Adventure awaits,

Rahm Kohistani
