This is not an all-inclusive list, and The Gear Project reserves the right to change this list at any time.
If users publish prohibited items or unclear listings, The Gear Project may:
- Remove the listing
- Ask for edits or clarification
- Suspend accounts
Our goal is to keep The Gear Project safe, trusted, and focused on high-quality outdoor gear.
The Gear Project is family run by a small team, meaning we are limited most by what we can ship. As the platform grows, we hope to be able to move more items to our accepted list!
