We’re big fans of Sierra Designs at GearGuide. The company has been around for more than 40 years and continues to produce some of the best outdoor gear around. Perfect example – the Gnar Hoody we reviewed earlier this year. In the company’s just-announced Year of Adventure Sweepstakes, you’ll get a chance to win some of their great gear along with trips to some outstanding locations.
