    Enlightened Equipment Seeking Product Testers!!!

    Hello hammock campers!

    Enlightened Equipment is working to expand our product offerings strongly into the hammock camping market. We are working on multiple hammock types, hammock tarps, updated underquilt designs and specific top quilt designs optimized for hammock use. We are looking to add to our current pool of product testers a handful of experienced hammock users who can test our preproduction products and help us refine the designs to offer the best products we can. We will have multiple products to test throughout the next year but right now are looking for testers who can put a lot of nights on a couple new hammock designs in the next 6-8 weeks. We are getting close to a launch meeting for these designs and want to get them out in tester's hands to be 100% sure we have the great products we think we do. Testers often get to keep the products they test, though occasionally this will not be the case depending on how many units we have for testing and if we need to send a single unit to multiple testers.

    If this is of interest to you please fill out the form here to apply https://goo.gl/forms/YQhI3UE3qb6bKARs2 All forms will be considered, but obviously we can only provide this opportunity to a limited number of people. We are expecting a lot of submission for this and plan to choose about 6 people. If you are selected we will be in contact with you to coordinate testing, explain our expectations and confidentiality requirements. If you are not selected we want to thank you ahead of time for your willingness to help us develop new products to serve this community but please know we will not be contacting everyone who submits a form to inform you that you were not chosen. If you do not hear from us within 2 weeks it is very likely that you were not selected. We will post back here, and remove the link once we have all the testers we need.

    Thank you so much for the support this community provides and we looking forward to working with many of you to provide high quality products to the hammocking community.

    Have you considered making an TQ insert sleeve for a sit pad that is specifically for 3/4 Under Quilt Hammock campers?

    Or maybe having it as a configurable option.

    I'm one stubborn, critical SOB...so I won't even attempt this. But look forward to seeing what happens and hope the reviewers are 100% honest in their assessment. Good luck!!

    Great idea for real user testing and experience. Often new products are brought to market when companies develop products in their own bubble and miss the mark or the opportunity to learn from their customers.
    I am sure you will find good candidates and launch better products (to add to the great products you already have) because of your willingness to learn as much as possible before hand.
    Good Luck!

    From the looks of your questions, I'm getting that your looking for someone who's popular on social media, right? I have no social media presence, unless you count this place.

    I'm curious what your new uq's will be like. I'm sorta ready to sell the two I just got from you, every time I set them up all of the down is clumped up and almost half of the quilt is empty.

    Thank you to all that participated. We have more than enough help and are shutting this down so we can get on with the testing.

    I'm not responding to specifics about product design as we keep that stuff under wraps until it goes live.
