Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

Every article on our site goes through a rigorous editorial process. The writers on our team have extensive real-world travel experience, and are committed to providing factual and valuable information, reviews, and recommendations.

When doing research, we only depend on reliable primary sources of information for our articles. Wherever possible we seek out information from academic research and government databases. We tell you where we source our information—both to give credit where credit is due and to provide transparency.

We periodically review, fact-check, and edit every article on our site to ensure the information we are providing is accurate, relevant, and up-to-date.

If you make a purchase through the links on our website, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our recommendations are not swayed by financial incentive. We earn a commission no matter what, so it doesn’t actually matter to us which product(s) you choose to buy. We only recommend gear that we actually love.

Of course, we have personal preferences, and we always disclose those alongside our objective reviews.

We are currently reviewing gear with what we believe is the world’s most comprehensive and detailed rating system. We use dozens of specific, objective metrics to evaluate every product on the site.

Internally, we have a database of hundreds of products that we’ve personally tested. Containing more than 10,000 data points, we regularly run analyses on this database to objectively inform our recommendations.

Our aim is to build the gold standard for what a brand and its products should strive to be. By setting the bar high, we hope to raise the travel industry to new levels.
