Disclosure & affiliate policy
Affiliate links
Some links on Splits & Seams may be affiliate links. If you buy through one, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked on each review, and they never affect what gets reviewed or what the review says.
Free and loaned products
Sometimes a brand may send me a product for free, lend it to me, or give me a discount. When that happens, the review says so at the top, before any opinion. Brands don't pay for reviews, don't approve reviews before publication, and aren't promised positive coverage. I never accept payment in exchange for a review.
How I got each item
Each review lists one of these: bought it myself, free from the brand, loaner from the brand, or discounted by the brand.
Honest opinions
Reviews reflect my own experience with the product. Your results may differ, especially with fit, fueling and heat tolerance. Nothing on this site is medical advice.
