Hot 25: GoWild's Top 25 Hiking & Camping Products in 2020
GoWild™ Releases the Hot 25, a List of Camping & Hiking Products Trending Atop Millions of Searches
Hikers and campers want gear that’s proven on the trails and in camp. GoWild, the social media platform for outdoor enthusiasts, is making that search a little easier with its new Hot 25.
GoWild’s ecommerce feature, Gearbox, has more than 350K products available for social sharing, reviews and purchases. Across the millions of searches and impressions on the platform, GoWild has released the Hot 25, a list of the 25 most popular products hikers and campers are putting to the test in 2020.
The average Gearbox shopper looks at more than 200+ products a month. Beyond searching, GoWild members share the gear that helped them log backcountry miles and setup camp easier or more comfortably. All of this data from hundreds of thousands of hunters, millions of search impressions and a year of social shopping helped GoWild name the top 25 hiking and camping products of the year with the Hot 25.
