For hiking and camping gear brands

Get your gear on the bench.

WorldHike is where serious buyers decide what to order: rankings, brand reviews, and a matching tool that routes thousands of decisions. If you make gear worth carrying, we want to test it.

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 Top Picks page, the surface that turns rankings 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 weight and the trail time, nothing else
  • • Edit rights: we don't send drafts, and affiliate deals never reorder rankings
  • • An exception to the house rule: every ounce earns its place
