- Be prepared for honest feedback, including product weaknesses
What I look for:
- Products that solve real problems for runners, cyclists, or outdoor enthusiasts
- Innovation in design, materials, or approach
- Value propositions at various price points
- Gear suited for Colorado’s demanding conditions

Perfect for testing in elevation, variable weather, and diverse terrain. Not great for beach gear reviews.
