5 Easy Steps To The Site
1
In Depth Product Reviews
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.

Next one is mine. I’m calling dibs ahead of time.
I was trying to hack the atmospheric noise such that the random number would come out in my favor… but I guess it didn’t work. Rock it Kelly! Congrats.
Great contest Ray, thanks! And congrats to Kelly :)
Congratulations Kelly! Thanks for the contest!

Congrats to Kelly!!
felicidades¡
This is lucky Kelly!
Congrats, just got my email confirming that my fēnix 3 Saphire order will be shipped this week. Used my DCR discount code and am super excited to receive my fēnix 2 replacement.
Must say though, gonna keep my f2 for the rough stuff as I’ve been on vacation this week as it happens and it’s served me well. Plenty of waves and sand and not even a scratch. I also see a few adventure races in my future and I don’t wanna kill the swanky metal strap.
Thanks Ray, your site is awesome and CT is also the bomb for keeping us in the loop and sponsoring some super cool giveaways!
Thanks as usual Ray for the giveaway. Congrats to Kelly.
Its cool that Ray worries enough to use a true random number, yeah science as Jesse Pinkman would say.
+1…….you took the words out of my mouth…
btw, Congrats to Kelly!! looking forward to other getaways..
Congratulations Kelly.
I genuinely accidently added another comment as I couldn’t see my first, so it appear both were removed?
When it finds duplicates comments by the same individual, it removes all but one of them. So one is kept.
Your ‘kept’ comment is here: link to dcrainmaker.com
Hi DC, OK cool thanks for confirming. As someone on a very tight budget I always dream of winning one of your very generous giveaways. I really think one day I will.
