Let’s take a moment to celebrate some community highlights from 2024 and share how we’re gearing up for another extraordinary year.
New Activity Surveys: Expanding Testing Opportunities
This year, we partnered with a number of exciting outdoor brands to bring new product testing opportunities to the table. For all our outdoor enthusiasts, we introduced new activity surveys that helped us dive deeper into adventures like:
- Skiing
- Snowboarding
- Mountaineering and alpine climbing
- Ice and mixed climbing
These updates allowed us to offer new testing experiences tailored to the passions of our community. With more specialized opportunities, we were thrilled to welcome new testers and expand the impact of our community within the outdoor realm.
Platform Enhancements Driven by Your Feedback
At MESH01, we know that your experience as testers is vital—not just for the success of the brands we work with but for the growth of our platform and community as well. We’ve been listening! Your user experience and feedback has helped our team shape several key updates we’re excited to bring to life in 2025, including FAQs for testers and brand new app functionality!
Your feedback is invaluable, and it’s shaping the future of MESH01 in ways that directly benefit you.
Early Product Feedback: A Year of Creativity and Collaboration
In 2024, your feedback early in the product creation process played a pivotal role in helping brands select design directions and colorways that not only align with future trends but also resonate deeply with their target audience—you! Thanks to your valuable input, brands were able to make confident design decisions across thousands of products, ensuring their offerings not only perform exceptionally but look amazing too.
This year, we partnered with brands on a variety of concept testing projects, and your insights have had a meaningful impact. Here’s a glimpse at the products you’ve helped shape:
Apparel: Pants, shorts, swim trunks, t-shirts, pullovers, sweatshirts, socks, boxer briefs, undershirts
Footwear: Running shoes, hiking shoes, work boots, non-slip shoes, snowshoes
Gear: Hiking backpacks, school backpacks, fishing waders, sleeping bags, flannel sheets, outdoor stoves, dog beds
And more!
Your creativity and thoughtfulness on these projects have been nothing short of incredible. We can’t thank you enough for the time and effort you’ve put into shaping these designs and ensuring these products meet the needs of their future users.

We love talking about our amazing tester community, and this year, we had plenty of opportunities to do just that! At trade shows and industry events nationwide, we shared the critical role you play in helping brands bring their products to life. Pre-market feedback is vital for innovation, and thanks to you, we had plenty of success stories to highlight.
