WHAT IS THE HEADWEAR TESTING PROGRAM

The Headwear Product Testing Group is responsible for validating the fit, feel, performance of our headwear. 

 

TEST SUBJECTS

Outdoor Cap Company testing group recruits test subjects through a variety of avenues – website, publications, social media, and trade shows.  Being a part of the testing program is VOLUNTARY.

 

WHAT AND WHEN

We test various types of headwear throughout the year.  Our focus is to test our products with the right consumer for intended activity and performance level. 

 

When a test is generated, we always invite a few more testers than we have samples to ensure that we can fill the test as soon as possible.  So, when you receive an invitation to test, the sooner you respond with your preference (Accept/Decline), the better chance you have of being included in the test.  Declining a test does not negatively impact your chances for future testing.

 

HOW

Once you are received into a test, you will be provided with samples and brief information regarding the samples.  We will then ask you to complete an online survey at https://www.getfeedback.com/r/UqoomYzY  for each item testing.  One item per survey.

 

TIMELINES

Getting information back in time is crucial to the testing process.   Tests are run on a timeline and it is critical that testers answer surveys completely and promptly.  We would like to have results back within 2 weeks after receiving samples if possible.  Please let us know if it will be longer than that and we will determine if we can accommodate for the results.

 

FEEDBACK

We want insightful observations on how the product fits, how it performs, and if it is durable for your activity.  We are also looking for information and ideas on how the product can be improved.

 

RETURN OF PRODUCTS

The product we ask you to test does not have to be returned to us. 

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

During your application process, you are required to Read & Accept Outdoor Cap Company’s Product Testing Agreement form.  Please make sure you read this agreement and always follow its guidelines.   Once you have read the agreement, we recommend you print it and keep it as a reference.  Failure to follow the guidelines outlined in the agreement may result in dismissal from the testing program.

 

WHAT IF?

If at any time during the test, you experience irritation or discomfort caused by the headwear or you can’t meet the testing commitment, please contact us immediately.

 

HOW TO APPLY?

The application process may take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
