I will subscribe forever no more

bySeuss Jul 17, 2000

Pros Nice photography, occasional great articles
Cons Fashion sections. Camping is not a competitive sport.
Recommended it? No

I have been a subscriber to Outside for more than 20 years - nearly from issue 1. I have finally decided that enough is enough and I will not be renewing my subscription when it expires this fall. Just one special fashion section too many, I guess. The magazine which gave me so much enjoyment over... Read full review »

Pros Great articles, excellent photos
Cons the darn subscription tear-outs!
Recommended it? Yes

Several years ago, I was visiting a friend in Colorado and waiting for him to primp and preen before we went out for the night (me, I had on teva's and baseball hat). So, while sitting sipping a beer, I picked up a magazine sitting on the coffee table, Outside Magazine. I read the list of articles... Read full review »

Pros Great Writing, Interesting Stories, Impressive Photography, Gets it all Outside

Recommended it? Yes

Longing to go trekking in Nepal, or sea kayaking along the coast of some far away land? Outside Magazine helps you see what you're missing and gives you some ideas on how to get there.

While some of the feature articles are reviews of areas that most mere mortals will never go, such as... Read full review »

Should have stuck with Backpacker

byJavelina Apr 17, 2001
28 Helpfuls 29 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks appealing, nice pictures, some great articles
Cons Too many ads, too many booze ads, too little OUTSIDE, too much expense & ritz
Recommended it? No

Outside is the "Vogue" of outdoor magazines. It represents what is trendy, and is sometimes more fun than truly functional. When I began subscribing to Outdoor, I had acutally never seen or read the magazine. I was surprised when I looked through it. I was expecting something similar to Backpacker... Read full review »

Live the Active Life -- Does Outside Magazine Deliver?

Pros related website, occasional compelling article
Cons no wow factor in the photography, magazine lacks focus
Recommended it? No

I had high hopes when I saw issues of Outside Magazine.  The covers had vivid photography, and the blurbs for the inside articles sounded interesting.  All I can say is thank goodness I had taken the time to read issues before making the leap to a subscription.

To get outside, get Outside first.

byandrooos Jan 17, 2002
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great writing, good range of articles, great (but concise) gear reviews
Cons Pretty fashion-oriented, not enough gear reviews, website is hard to navigate
Recommended it? Yes

OK, I admit it. I am a closet outdoorsy-type. I don't know why I'm just discovering it, but oh well. I wanted to get some good trail running gear and a new sleeping bag this winter, so I bought Outside's annual Buyer's Guide. They had some great (albeit short) reviews of a good range of products. I... Read full review »

Fueling My Dreams...

Pros Great Articles and Gear Reviews
Cons Sometimes too Yuppie Oriented
Recommended it? Yes

When I first pickup a copy of Outside, it was back in '91 or '92 and the article that caught my eye was road-tripping across the US. I don't remember a whole lot about the article, but it had recommended places to check out, things to do along the way, and toys to bring. It also had an infectious... Read full review »

I first picked up an issue of Outside magazine in 1995 and have not missed an... Read full review »

Pros Bikes, Some Excitement, Some Pics, Accurate Product Reviews
Cons Most gear/Trips too costly for most, Boring articles, Some iffy photos, Lacks passion
Recommended it? No

As someone who truly loves the outdoors, and abhors every moment of office time, I'm looking forward to retirement. It's some 20+ years away, but its not too early to dream about constant skiing, fishing, hiking, biking, camping, and hunting. Lately I've been tied up with work assignments, and...
