why central exists

Outdoor catalogs aren't built on titles and prices.

They're built on the numbers buyers compare side-by-side. Fill power and fill weight, waterproof rating in mm, breathability (RET), weight in grams, season / temperature rating, recycled content, Fair Trade, bluesign.

Your supplier row has title, GTIN, brand, and a color. Every technical column is empty, vague, or sourced from a marketing bullet that drops the unit.

six jobs central does for sports & outdoor

The work your team stops doing manually.

Each job ships a verified output, not a draft. Sources attached, confidence per fact, marketing hype refused.

01

Fill power + fill weight pinned to a temperature claim

Stop publishing "warm down jacket". Central pins fill power (du) and fill weight (g) to the verified use range — down or synthetic, sleeping bag EN 13537 / ISO 23537 rating, jacket comfort window.

02

Waterproof rating (mm) sourced — not "water-resistant"

"Waterproof" isn't a field. 20,000 mm hydrostatic head is. Central distinguishes a true membrane rating from a DWR-only finish, with the test standard cited.

03

Weight in grams + packed size, verified

Outdoor buyers compare gram-for-gram. Central reads the brand spec sheet, supplier sheet, and product page — then reconciles them into one verified weight per size, with packed dimensions attached.

Sustainability claims verified against the cert

Fair Trade Certified. bluesign approved. RDS. 100% recycled. Central matches each claim to the issuer's certificate number — or marks it for review when the source is only a marketing page.

Season / temperature rating attached to a standard

Sleeping bags EN 13537 / ISO 23537. Ski bindings FIS. Tents 3-season / 4-season. Central attaches the standard, the comfort / limit values, and the test report — not a vibes-based "warm".

"Ultralight." "Ultra-warm." "Bombproof waterproof." "All-mountain." Held, narrowed, or removed until the record can prove them with a gram, a millimeter, or a test standard.

Frequently asked

How does Central verify fill power and fill weight?

+

Central treats the brand's published spec as the anchor (0.99+ when the brand states it), then cross-checks against retailer pages, RDS certificate data, and product reviews. A 2-source agreement at the same du and g grade gives a publishable confidence; a 5-source agreement gives 0.97+. If sources disagree, the value is held until a merchant decision lands — not averaged into a marketing number.

What about sleeping bag EN 13537 / ISO 23537 ratings?

+

Sleeping bags get the comfort, limit, and extreme values from the standard attached to the verified record — with the test report year and issuing lab when available. Central does not publish a generic "−5°C bag"; it publishes EN 13537 · 2012 · comfort −5°C · limit −12°C and lets the channel decide how to render that.

What about sustainability claims and greenwashing risk?

+

Fair Trade, bluesign, RDS, Global Traceable Down, recycled content percentages, and PFC-free DWR are matched to the issuer's certificate or the brand's audited material declaration. Marketing language like "eco-friendly" or "sustainably made" stays held until a specific cert or percentage is sourced — never published as a standalone claim.

What about size charts and regional sizing?

+

Central reads the brand's size chart, supplier sheet, and historical returns data to produce one canonical size table per product with EU / US / UK / Japan equivalents, chest / waist / hip / inseam measurements, and a fit note (slim · regular · relaxed). Helmet-compatible hoods and gender-specific lasts are tagged where the brand supports them.

Which channel outputs are supported?

+

Native: Google Merchant Center, Bing Merchant Center, ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity Shopping. Any other destination (Amazon, Bergfreunde, REI, Snow+Rock, Sport-Tiedje, Shopify metafields) is custom-feed-ready — the verified record adapts into CSV, XML, or JSON with channel-specific field shapes and character limits.
