At Ohio Outside, although we use affiliate programs, we pride ourselves on publishing independent gear and product reviews that put our readers first, and high-quality content will always be our first priority. Every product featured in our editorial gear coverage has been picked—and in many tested for extended periods of time— by either our editors or our team of freelance testers. We are never paid to cover the gear we write about.  

That said, when you purchase a product through a link on our website, we on occasion earn an affiliate commission from affiliate programs. This is now a common media practice used by many notable sites, including Men’s Journal, Outside Magazine, Gear Patrol, and Wired.

Here’s how it works: When you click a link on one of our pages that goes to an affiliate programs partner / affiliate retailer, the URL automatically notes that you came from Ohio Outside. If you purchase that product, we may earn a small commission that helps pay for our work. (It doesn’t cost you more—the price is the same as if you went directly to the site.) This amount is usually 6% to 10%.

Our editors carefully choose both the products we link to and the retailers that sell them (trusted companies like REI and Backcountry) to offer you competitive prices and a smooth shopping experience. We also encourage you to shop local as well. Affiliate links do not factor into our editorial coverage other than to make it easier for you, our readers, to get the gear you want at a great price (although we cannot guarantee it will always be the best deal available).

If a manufacturer or retailer has paid for any editorial placement on our website, it is noted clearly with a Sponsored Content tag.

Our reputation with our readers is the most valuable asset we possess. We will continue to review and discuss products honestly and independently with one simple goal: to help you find the best gear possible for the activities you love to do outdoors.

If you have any questions about our affiliate programs or links, please send an email to info@ohiooutside.com.
