PRODUCT TESTING

More Terms and Conditions

Thank you for your interest in our Field Testing!

Our program engages athletes in the product development process. Feedback from field testing is shared with Product Development and Management teams and can impact the final design and construction of today’s products and the products of the future.

Why we test…

· To ensure that every product provided to us stand up to our Universal Guarantee of Performance.

Who can test…

· Our testers are recruited based on several criteria, including activity/sport experience, size, and location. We look for athletes who will put our product through aggressive testing and provide honest, constructive feedback.

· Testers should be perceptive, curious about the product, and eager to share thoughts about the product.

What else do you need to know…

· We have more testers than product and no guarantees how often testers will receive product to test.

· Test periods are typically 1-2 months and testers are required to provide feedback (good and bad) on Fit, Comfort, Performance, and Durability.

· At the conclusion of the test, the product may need to be returned (postage paid) or, if the product is not required for return, test product may continue to be used to gain additional wear and tear feedback.

· Feedback can be gathered several ways including online surveys, onsite interviews, photographs, video, and phone/email communication.

Milestones or touch-points

Final product evaluation

· Testers are encouraged to keep in contact throughout the test period, especially if anything significant happens.

· Please note: due to testing the product in advance of being available in stores, it is important that testers do not share anything about the product they are testing through social media or any public platform. All feedback and imagery should only be shared with the FIELDTALK employee coordinating the test.
