Common questions
- Is titanium always best for outdoor gear?
- No. Titanium is light and corrosion resistant, but aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel can be better choices depending on heat transfer, stiffness, cost, repair, and the intended load.
- How should I compare outdoor metal products?
- Compare complete system weight, packed size, load rating, field usability, corrosion exposure, spare parts, and the consequences of a component failing.
