The "DB Collection" was created organically through the prototype processes of Thrillside products. Personally I get frustrated when a brand sells products without knowing those products inside and out, it almost feels like the brand is unfaithful to its designs and customers. This mindset is a huge motivator for me to create prototypes myself so I could truly understand the pros and cons of designs and know what effects those details would have on functionality. Once I feel the details are properly finalized, Thrillside seeks customer approval. Mass producing products is no easy task, it involves an incredible amount of preparation and upfront cost. The DB Collection provides the confidence to our design team that we need to take a design to production. It also provides comfort to our customers knowing that our products will be high enough quality for Thrillside adventures. The idea of selling prototypes in order to reveal product demand is the backbone of DB Collection products. "An idiot with a plan, is better than a genius without a plan."]]>

Thrillside Outdoor Design’s journey started back in college when my passion for outdoor adventure got incredibly serious. I found myself in places where very few individuals were willing to go, exploring areas that many people fear. This is when I discovered my addiction to the thrill and adrenaline only the outdoors provide. The Thrillside is not just a physical location; it is a state of mind. Our goal is to push everyone to find their own Thrillside; a place to feel alive and truly let loose. Everyone has a unique Thrillside they strive to, personally mine changes quite frequently. For the serious thrill seekers the location changes with the seasons, Idaho definitely provides a variety of opportunities year round. The state of mind is powerful in that it can be found in the most complex and difficult adventures, and can be found in the simple and easy day trips.]]>

As my own adventures grew more and more intense, I found the majority of my expensive equipment failing. Over the last 4 years, I have been designing and producing my own products for testing and development. Countless prototypes have been created and abused first hand in the Idaho backcountry, this is why in-house prototyping is such a big staple for our design process. Now with multiple notebooks of designs, Thrillside products have never been so close to production. To finalize each design, extensive research provides the most ideal production and operation processes for both Thrillside and our customers. Direct consumer sales with in-house tested products ensures that each customer receives lifetime gear at a friendly cost. We strongly believe that gear should be just as strong as your passion for adventure. ]]>
