The Guide Pick™ Difference

We’ve spent a lifetime in the mountains. When it comes to gear we won’t compromise. Leveraging the collective knowledge of the RMI Guide Team, we select and direct you to top mountain gear. Guide Pick™ is outfitting simplified.

 
Step
1

RMI guides work and play on the world’s highest mountains. Their gear is exposed to the most extreme conditions – collectively over 10,000 days of use annually.

With almost 70 opinionated guides giving input, complete agreement rarely happens…but alignment does. Our process allows for the best gear in each category.
