Affiliate Disclosure

GearHound is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com. When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission.

We also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers, including Chewy, REI, Backcountry, and manufacturer direct programs. These relationships do not influence our editorial content.

Editorial Independence

Our reviews and recommendations are based on research, product specifications, and field testing where possible. We do not receive payment for positive reviews, and affiliate relationships do not influence our product rankings or recommendations. If a product is bad, we say so.

We may receive free products from manufacturers for review purposes. When this occurs, we disclose it in the review. Receipt of a free product does not guarantee a positive review.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, GearHound earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). All affiliate links on this site are clearly identified as such.
