“(mission-first hero — environmental campaign imagery with activism CTA)”

When the homepage hero promotes an environmental documentary or activism campaign, the gear buyer arriving from a "best rain jacket" search has to scroll past the mission content to find products. The mission converts brand believers; products convert gear buyers. The homepage serves the first audience and loses the second.

“Dual-entry hero: "Torrentshell — 3-layer waterproof, made with 100% recycled nylon. Built to last, guaranteed forever." Mission and product in one headline — the mission is the product story.”

“(Ironclad Guarantee referenced but not quantified with repair/return data)”

The Ironclad Guarantee is one of the most generous return policies in retail, but the homepage treats it as a footer link rather than a headline-worthy trust signal. Without data (items repaired, years guaranteed), it reads as a standard warranty claim.

“Quantify the guarantee: "We've repaired 130,000+ items this year through Worn Wear. If it breaks, we fix it. If we can't fix it, we replace it. Guaranteed for life."”

“(premium pricing without explicit durability-ROI comparison)”

A $300 rain jacket competes with $80 alternatives from Amazon. Without a cost-per-year or durability argument, the visitor defaults to price comparison rather than value comparison.

“Frame the durability ROI: "Torrentshell lasts 10+ years with our free repair service. That's $30/year for a jacket that never hits a landfill."”
