Cost - Everyone knows you get what you pay for. Take it a step further and to truly meet Overland Rated status a product has to be outrageously overpriced, the more it costs the better. Human
itarian - In the true spirit of overland, a product or service company should have impressive philanthropic activities. Even better is giving the impression of philanthropy while raking in millions to enjoy world travels. American - Anything made in 'Murica is simply the best. End of discussion. Reputation - Having the right reputation within the overland community can automatically qualify any product as Overland Rated. Better yet is having Fanboys and Fangirls. Material - If its good enough for NASA it may be good enough for overland use. Materials such as titanium and carbon fiber are a good start. An Overland Rated product should only be made of the absolute best material available. Disclaimer: Overland Rated is satire. A place where the overland community can come to relax and poke a little fun at themselves. Please do not take anything too seriously.
