Robinson Outdoors Wins Two Coveted Gold Medals in Bowhunt America’s “Gear of the Year” Reader Survey Contest

   12.20.12

Robinson Outdoor Products proudly took home two Gold Medals recently in Bowhunt America’s annual “Gear of the Year” contest. Bowhunt America, a popular bowhunting magazine with a strong online presence, annually surveys their readers and asks for their opinion as to which gear bowhunter’s loyally use and value. Robinson Outdoor Products won gold in two very competitive categories; Bowhunting Clothing and Treestand Safety Vests/Harnesses. I spoke to Mike Swan, marketing Director at Robinson Outdoor products about the company’s reaction to such a prestigious honor. “Innovation has been at the core of our business model for the last 30 years. We hunt, and we listen. Robinson Outdoors consistently makes our decisions based on what our consumers need. We are proud of these awards, and plan to continue to bring home the gold!”

It sounds obvious, but behind the scenes of every technical product at Robinson Outdoor Products LLC is a history of exhaustive use, abuse and in lab testing. We start with an idea, a need, and then seek out the finest fabrics, materials and formulas and start exploring design solutions to meet the need. Our advanced product lab tests materials, compatibility, performance levels and effectiveness scores with crucial data, but the final step is most crucial. We head into the field, because real world hunting needs can’t be solved in the lab alone. Such full-on testing often exposes details that might otherwise be overlooked. For example, designing hood or headcovers on a mannequin in the office is one thing. Until you climb up a high placed treestand and pull it over your head and try to draw a bow and shoot that you realize your vision and draw is compromised when that chance of a lifetime walks out. From this in-depth field-testing we have developed some of the most unique details and benefits that go into our products. Offset main zippers for clean shooting, diamond crotch gusset for a resistant free climb into a treestand, Silent Wrist Ratchet Body Lock for on stand adjustment, Gearpendent Technology for minimal movement while reaching for gear, Zip-off removable arm guard for non-restrictive shooting, tree harness slit for integrated attachment, perfect fit, function and the list goes on. Honestly, it's an evolution of understanding more than anything else. It's years of experience and many days, weeks and months of sitting in the tree stand, on the stalk, in the bottomlands, on top of the mountains shivering, sweating and soggy moments figuring out what something really does and why and what we can do to make it hunt better.
