Affiliate Disclosure.

Some links on Ordealist, mainly on gear pages, the deals page, and gear-focused stories, are affiliate links. Click one and buy something, and the retailer pays us a small commission. You don't pay anything extra for it.

What that commission doesn't buy

Retailers and manufacturers don't see our coverage before it publishes, and they don't get a say in what we recommend. A product earns a spot in a gear roundup or our catalog because we think it's worth your money, not because the commission is bigger than the next brand's. If something's mediocre, we'll say so.

The programs we use

As an Amazon Associate, Ordealist earns from qualifying purchases. We also work with other retailer and manufacturer affiliate programs, including AvantLink, Impact, and Commission Junction. The same rule applies across all of them.

Why we bother telling you

Readers who've spent hours researching a route or a rig can tell when a site is leaning on their trust without saying so. We'd rather be straight about how the lights stay on.
