Trailspace is dedicated to helping hikers, climbers, and backpackers of all abilities—from trail novices to confirmed gearheads—find dependable outdoor gear that lets them enjoy the outdoors. We publish independent reviews and information about thousands of products, and give users the opportunity to share their own experiences to help other outdoor enthusiasts choose the right gear for themselves and their next adventure.
The Trailspace forums are open to anyone who wants to discuss hiking, backpacking, camping, mountaineering, or climbing. For those wondering what to do with that still-usable gear they just replaced or desperately looking for a discontinued product, our classifieds section provides a spot for users to buy, sell, or swap used gear.
Staff
Trailspace is produced and published by MacLeay Interactive Design. When they're not too busy working on this site, founders Dave and Alicia MacLeay like to get outside and use their own gear.
Dave MacLeay
Publisher
In addition to designing and building web sites, Dave likes to hike, mountain bike, downhill and backcountry ski, and climb steep ice. His most well-worn gear includes his EMS MM 20 sleeping bag, CamelBak M.U.L.E. hydration pack, and Liberty daypack from The North Face. Dave is the founder of MacLeay Interactive Design and formerly the lead web designer and developer at Digital Frontier. He'd rather be sitting on top of a mountain than in front of his computer.
Alicia MacLeay
Editor in Chief
Alicia likes to hike and backpack, trail run, cross-country ski, bag the New England 100 highest peaks, and climb not-so-steep ice. Her favorite gear includes her Sierra Designs Shut Eye sleeping bag, L.L. Bean Gore-Tex Cresta Hikers, Mountain Hardwear Phantom Vest, and decade-old Kelty daypack. Previously Alicia was the Associate Director of Communications at Colby College and an account executive at HMC Advertising.
