* As an example of our desire to educate our consumers, ProLite is an authorized licensee of Backpacking Light, the Magazine of Lightweight Hiking and Backpacking, one of the most trusted and recognized sources of comprehensive and fair product review information in the outdoor industry. We are pursuing relationships with other parties to improve our ability to deliver the best possible prosumer education to our customers.

ProLite Gear is a different sort of company. We are committed to supporting "prosumer" education to help you make smart buying decisions.* We will not sell our products based on believing manufacturer catalog copy or relying on mass media hype written by journalists who don't spend a lot of time outdoors. Instead, we bring you products that have been thoroughly tested in extreme conditions and represent the best in their class.

ProLite Gear dedicates a portion of its profits to support consumer product awareness through outdoor education programs, partnerships with professional field testers, and primary product research for the purpose of claims evaluation. Our goal is to make you a more informed consumer - one that is not swayed by the slick marketing lingo and unsubstantiated claims found so commonly in manufacturer catalogs.

ProLite Gear is different because we believe in YOU - the customer - not product marketing, and we want to make sure you leave our shop better informed with the right gear to do the right job on your next outdoor adventure.
