Affiliate & Editorial Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-04-23

Affiliate links

Some of the outbound links in our journal articles and pillar guides are affiliate links. If you click through one of those links and buy something, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is how the content side of the business pays its bills.

Who we're affiliated with

Active affiliate programs, as of 2026-04-23:

• Amazon Associates (US)

What we won't take

• No paid placement in journal articles.
• No brand sponsorship that alters editorial opinion.
• No free products in exchange for positive coverage. We buy the gear we review with our own money except where a maker sends a sample for a review, in which case the review discloses it inline.
• No undisclosed "partner posts" dressed up as editorial.

FTC compliance

Per 16 CFR Part 255 (the FTC's Endorsement Guides), every article that contains at least one affiliate link displays a clear disclosure above the fold. Product recommendations are based on our own experience with the gear or verifiable third-party reporting, and we say so when we haven't personally used something.

Editorial independence

We never earn affiliate commission on our own products. Affiliate links are strictly for gear we don't carry. If an item is in the shop, the link to it is not an affiliate link.
