For hiking and camping gear brands
Get your gear on the bench.
WorldHike is where serious hikers decide what rides in their pack: rankings and brand reviews that route real buying decisions. If you build packs, footwear, shelters, sleep systems, water treatment, apparel, or trail accessories worth carrying, we want to test them.
What a submission gets you
- • A spot in the testing queue for our category and price rankings and a standalone brand review
- • Your gear's real performance measured and shown to buyers who care about exactly that
- • Eligibility for our ranked top-picks guides, the pages that turn readers into orders
- • A fair re-test whenever you revise the gear or ship a new model
What it doesn't get you
- • A guaranteed review: a test unit earns consideration, not coverage
- • A good score: verdicts follow the scale and the trail, nothing else
- • Edit rights: we don't send drafts, and affiliate deals never reorder rankings
- • An exception to the house rule: every ounce has to earn its place

Real weight on our scale next to your listed one, real miles on real trails, listed specs verified, and a verdict on whether every ounce earns its place. Ranked where the performance lands it, and re-tested when you revise the design.

Submit the form first so we know what's coming; gear from brands we've never heard from goes to the back of the bench. Prefer a press loan or local pickup? Note it on the form.
With the unit
- ✓ A retail-spec unit, exactly as customers receive it (plus any bundled accessories)
- ✓ The spec sheet: listed weight, capacity, materials, ratings
- ✓ MSRP + where it's sold, so the value math is fair
- ✓ Any variants (sizes, wide fits, women's versions) you want tested
