Gear Testing
When available, some items in development are offered at a discounted price in exchange for feedback.
This helps cover costs and advance the designs much faster than we might otherwise be able to. If any opportunities are available, they will be presented in the individual project pages above.
We also keep some test gear in rotation, passing it from one tester's trip to another.
Preference is usually given to customers and testers who have previously provided constructive feedback. If you're interested in participating in this program, please fill out the form linked below.
