Torben Lonne

Co-Founder | Gear Tester | Content Creator

I’m Torben—co-founder of Outoria and the guy who puts most of the gear through its paces before we ever recommend it.

If you’ve seen one of our deep-dive reviews or YouTube videos, there’s a good chance I was the one hiking with that backpack, sleeping in that tent, or figuring out if that water bottle really doesn’t leak.

Before Outoria, I helped build DIVEIN.com into one of the biggest diving and watersports magazines online. Now I get to take that same testing approach to gear that’s not just for underwater—but for everyday life and travel, too.

I care about making sure our reviews are clear, honest, and based on real use. No fluff, no tech jargon. Just useful info from someone who actually used the gear—and probably got rained on while doing it.

When I’m not writing or filming, you’ll probably find me hiking with my family, planning the next trip, or nerding out over something with zippers and compartments.

Let’s be honest—life’s just better with the right gear.
