Lab Rat

Over the course of an adventure you discover what works and what doesn't when it comes to gear. And, we want to hear about your experiences! Through our Lab Rat program we give you, the user of OR gear, the opportunity to report back to the people who create our products. Your Lab Rat reports are regularly reviewed by our product development team and your feedback has directly affected individual products as well as entire product lines. Being a Lab Rat is not like becoming a sponsored athlete. But, you can be sure that what you write will be read. This is a no-holds-barred opportunity for you to let us know exactly what you think about our gear.

How do you get involved? Becoming a part of the Lab Rat program is easy. Take your OR gear out for a test. When you’re back from your adventure, visit www.orlabrat.com, fill out a Lab Rat Report to let us know what worked, what didn’t, and how you think it could be improved.

So, dive in and tell us what you think – you and countless other outdoor adventurers will reap the rewards of your input.
