![]() ![]() This would include a market that is unwilling to pay the necessary price for an innovative product (trying selling a £800 Arcteryx Alpha SV jacket or an £11,000 carbon fibre road bike in 1983) but which slowly ups the price it's willing to pay for innovation. Sometimes it might be because a product or technology is ahead of its time before the world or technology was ready and perhaps needs to be rediscovered. Sometimes a groundbreaking product is poorly promoted or lacks clout or funds for marketing to the people who need it (all outdoor entrepreneurs should read Peter Thiel's 'Zero to One' to avoid this mistake). The reason why potential marginal and not-so-marginal gains are overlooked comes down to many factors. Both things do the same job they insulate, but when you dig down into how they function, the marginal difference in the structure of the fibres and knit, one gives the user a significant comfort/survival advantage. If you’re throwing either one on at a picnic, the difference would be hard to notice, but if you were working on the deck of a trawler off the coast of Greenland, one would decrease your risk of hypothermia dramatically more than the other (hint, it’s not the trendy one).

I suppose in my own sport, I’ve always been a bit of a marginal gains nerd and have made a career out of looking at things at a granular level in order to squeeze out an advantage. Nevertheless, the concept of multiple marginal gains is a solid one. In the end, it turned out that many such gains in the sport of pro cycling were not from rounder wheels or weighing your urine but from harder-to-detect performance-enhancing drugs. He believed that if they could make small improvements in multiple areas, such as equipment, training, nutrition, recovery, and even personal habits, the cumulative effect would lead to significant performance improvements.
