VERDICT

Should I use Globetrotter?

EINEGRÜNEREWAHL - globetrotter.de

Depends. Worth using if you're in Germany/DACH and value expert advice and hands-on gear testing over price. Skip it if you're a bargain hunter or if you expected a software product — this is a specialty outdoor-gear retailer.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~40 public sources; most 'Globetrotter' results were unrelated (RVs, Harlem Globetrotters, luggage). About 6 sources were relevant to globetrotter.de.
