The jury for the OutDoor Industry Award 2014 came together for two days at the Messe Friedrichshafen to decide on the most outstanding products submitted for the award. Over 360 entries were appraised during these two days by the jury members. All products were tested, examined, tried on, prodded, and analyzed before the jury came to a decision. Not an easy choice for them since they found many entries to be worthy of further consideration. The submissions spanned from garments over backpacks to tools, lines, hooks, and crampons, tents, sleeping bags, shoes, etc., all for making outdoor adventures more remarkable than ever. The DDC helped with their expertise ensure a fair and correct competition.
The jury did reach their final decisions and you will be able to see for yourself all the products that were given an award during the Outdoor Fair at the Messe Friedrichshafen.
The award ceremony will be held on July 10th, 2014, at the Outdoor Fair at the Messe Friedrichshafen.
