About this Event
Not all outdoor gear is created equal — and knowing how and why guides choose their gear can make a big difference in comfort, safety, and performance outdoors.
Join Colorado Wilderness Rides & Guides at Limelight Boulder for a relaxed, fireside conversation focused on how professional guides think about gear selection across seasons and activities. This free, in-person event is designed for outdoor enthusiasts looking to make more informed choices before their next adventure.
Every attendee will receive a discount to Limelight’s signature bar and grill, plus exclusive discounts on guided adventures and educational programs with Colorado Wilderness Rides & Guides.
Through real-world examples and open discussion, our guides will walk through how they approach layering systems, footwear, packs, and essential tools — and how to adapt gear choices to changing conditions in Colorado.
What We’ll Cover
- How guides choose gear for safety, efficiency, and comfort
- Layering systems for Colorado’s variable weather
- Footwear, packs, and essentials across seasons
- Common gear mistakes — and how to avoid them
- How to match gear choices to your goals and experience level
Who Should Attend
- Hikers, backpackers, and snowshoers
- New or aspiring outdoor adventurers
- Experienced recreationists refining their gear systems
- Anyone curious how professional guides think about gear
No technical background or prior experience required. This is an educational, conversational event — not a gear demo or sales pitch.
