Marcus Webb is the Senior Gear Reviewer at TheGearEditor, where he leads buying guides on outdoor footwear, pet equipment, and field-ready gear. He focuses on long-term durability testing and real-world use — the kind of feedback that doesn't fit in a 30-second product video. When he's not field-testing trail boots or cycling dog gear through chew tests, Marcus reads spec sheets so you don't have to.
