PhD in meteorology. 1000+ tornado intercepts. 50+ hurricane intercepts. Inventor of the Dominator armored research vehicles. I've driven inside tornadoes and I'm still here. This is the gear that makes it possible.
The gear is not the point. The experience the gear enables is the point.
You can watch a supercell on your phone. Or you can drive six hours into Kansas, park on a dirt road south of a mesocyclone, and feel the pressure drop in your chest. The difference between those two things is preparation.
This is the gear that gets you there. From the weather radio your grandma should have on the kitchen counter to the handheld weather station that reads barometric pressure in real time, we sorted everything into three tiers. Entry point for everyone. Rabbit hole for the obsessed.
Tees and patches designed in the studio. Small runs, no restocks. Printed for chasers, sold here only.
Stuff that should live in your car permanently. Not because you chase storms. Because storms chase you.
You have RadarScope on your phone. You've driven toward at least one storm on purpose. Time to build the real kit.
Named after Reed Timmer's armored research vehicles. This is the gear for the person who drives into the polygon. Or photographs lightning at 1/1000th of a second.
Three things. You're not a storm chaser without them.
Hardware is half of it. These are the apps running on every chaser's phone.
See the gear in action. These are some of the most intense intercepts.
