WE TEST TO THE LIMITS BECAUSE LIFE TESTS TO THE LIMITS

Season after season. Peak after peak. Mile after mile. We know that you love every twist, turn, and tumble that life throws at you. That’s why we test. And test. And test some more. Our lab tests are as rigorous as it gets. And then our experts and athletes—and you—test gear made with our technologies where it really matters: out there in the world.

HOW ARE PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME PUT TO THE TEST?
Tamara Lunger - Mountaineering
Just 230 ft from making history...
Greg Hill - SKI MOUNTAINEERING
Almost paying the ultimate price to learn the ultimate lesson.
Jennifer Bin - URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY
One chance to snap the spectacular, no matter the conditions.
Robert Jasper - MOUNTAINEERING
30 days in the wild, completely alone, to climb the unclimbable.
Dani Jung - TRAIL RUNNING
A 12 day trail, attempted in 2. Pushed to extremes.
Hirotaka Takeuchi - MOUNTAINEERING
17 years of pushing through, always “looking forwards” to make history.
Jennifer Bin - TRAVEL BLOGGING
Capturing the beauty of an urban jungle while battling the weather.
JUST HOW INTENSE IS OUR TESTING?
We soak, we centrifuge, we stretch. We storm, we dunk, we flex. We twist, we steam, we deluge. We do all this—and lots more—because we know what challenges you may face.
