Can the AI make gear recommendations for specific trip types?

Yes. The agent asks about trip type — car camping, weekend backpacking, thru-hiking — group size, season, and budget, then recommends appropriate gear from your catalog. It serves both beginners building their first kit and experienced hikers upgrading specific gear.

How does it handle sleep system temperature questions?

The agent explains temperature rating standards, accounts for the buyer's tendency to sleep cold or warm, and recommends a sleeping bag and pad R-value combination that provides appropriate warmth for their expected conditions.

Can it help with pack fitting?

Yes. The agent walks the buyer through measuring torso length and checking hip bone width, then recommends the correct pack size and frame type from your range.

How does it answer fuel system compatibility questions?

The agent confirms which canister brands and fuel types are compatible with each stove in your catalog and advises on fuel performance in cold temperatures or at altitude.

How does it handle warranty claims on camping gear?

The agent collects photos and a description of the failure, assesses whether it's a manufacturing defect vs. field damage, and initiates your warranty or repair process accordingly.
