Field Tested Explorers
Baffin believes in real-world testing. "Living the Brand®" sums up everything Baffin sets out to do.
Baffin is proud to say that every one of our trips is a success and not just because the product succeeds every time. In May of 2010, Baffin's president Paul Hubner trekked to Machu Picchu wearing a pair of Baffins that, at the time, were still in development. Essentially the product succumbed to the environment and experience, which some may have seen as a failure. Since those shoes failed for Paul, Baffin improved and corrected them so they won't fail for you. This is what Baffin sees as a true success.
