Brittney's experience with Kate
I was nervous about selecting some of my first backpacking gear - mainly the pack, the tent, and water filtration - since I am not yet familiar with the brands or quality and did not want to purchase something I will have to replace by next season. Kate was delightful to work with and very responsive whenever I had a question or asked for her own personal recommendations. She spent time over several days helping me find just what I needed and was always quick to offer additional options if an item didn’t meet all the requirements I was looking for. I’m very thankful for all the knowledge and look forward to having Kate’s help when I need more gear in the future!

"Kate was great"= understatement!
First family backpacking trip so I had a lot of questions and Kate was a dynamo with the answers. She made me feel like I was her only customer. She even apologized about spotty internet service when I interrupted HER hike! 😂 She is on it! And she was always looking for deals for me and my fam. Need a curator? I recommend Kate Wilson.

a patient expert who helped us so much
We were preparing for a climb later this year and needed some new gear specialized for the trek (and training) we have ahead. Kate helped us put together a list of exactly what we needed over the course of a few weeks, and was patient when work and life interrupted our research and search for the right gear. Thanks so much to Kate for her help!

Kate is awesome!
Kate knows the Osprey line and seems more interested in fitting with the right pack at the right time, rather than sales. If she's a salesperson of any kind, I wouldn't know it. This experience feels like having a personal expert guiding me in a life purchase, which I appreciate very much.

Customer Service With Care
Kate did a great job of meeting me where I was at as far as my lack of knowledge in hiking gear. Despite the fact that I love hiking, I hadn't really researched beyond the gear I already own so I had a lot of questions. Anything Kate didn't know she made sure to look up and update me. She also scouted for the best deals on the site, while even updating prices as she found better deals.

Kate listened to my needs
I’m so grateful I stumbled upon Curated and was paired with Kate. She’s from the same region as me and asked follow-up questions to make the best recommendation for me and my growing, soon to be giant dog. I’m so excited for the adventures ahead!

Kate is so helpful!
Kate is so thoughtful, made the perfect Christmas card for my gift. She sent me multiple options on what I wanted to buy, all in my price range she requested from me. Was able to explain the features and differences between the products, and ultimately which one seemed the best fit for my needs. This company does a great job, it’s so helpful for those who have limited knowledge.

Very nice
I contacted her at 11:00 and night and we talked for about 50 minuets to help me find the best tent for me. She was very kind and very knowledgeable and helped me with everything I needed. Wonderful experience 10/10
