Nothing affirms the strength and reliability of a product more than field experience. We recognize that testing is a critical element to the developmental process, but we don't stop there. Base-X® Shelters have met or exceeded every test performance parameter that the US military requires, and then some.
At Base-X we rely heavily on feedback from users to gauge whether or not our systems truly meet the spec. Base-X Expedition Shelters® are the most widely-fielded expeditionary shelters in the world. The feedback we receive is the critical element to our relentless pursuit to build the best there is.
