Outdoor Prolink Gear Discounts
Financial constraints can be a major barrier that ECRs face for participation in polar research. A large part of the financial cost for polar research is related to personal gear requirements to safely and comfortably participate in fieldwork, as these costs are often not supported by research grants and institutions.
We are therefore excited to announce that APECS Canada members are now eligible for discounts on outdoor gear through Outdoor Prolink! All APECS Canada members are pre-approved for this program and can sign up by completing the form linked below.
Program Notes
To be eligible for this program, you must be an APECS Canada member. Learn how to join.
This program gives you access to incredible discounts (30-60%) on outdoor gear from a variety of retailers. These discounts are provided to you as an individual, which means you may purchase gear only for yourself - you may not use these discounts to purchase gifts for others or shared equipment for your lab.
Outdoor Prolink accounts will expire each year on March 1. APECS Canada will send you reminders to renew your account, which you can do by completing this form again.
Please note that we will confirm your APECS membership by requesting that you provide the most recent APECS Canada Newsletter. For members who do not have access to the e-mail newsletter (for example, new members), we will verify your membership manually (this process may take 1-2 weeks). Your application will not be processed until your membership is confirmed.
Note that all sales are final (no returns) and orders may take 7-14 business days to ship (see shipping FAQ), so make sure you plan ahead for upcoming fieldwork.
By enrolling in this program, you agree to follow the Outdoor Prolink Code of Conduct. Abuse of this program will result in termination of your account.
