How we review & disclosure

Two kinds of reviews

Research-based reviews are compiled from manufacturer specs and published expert and owner reviews. They are not hands-on tested by Lone Star Adventures, and every one says so at the top. Each pro or con links to the source it came from.

Gear Brandon uses pages cover gear he actually runs. Until he writes his own notes, those pages show only maker facts and a "Brandon's take: coming soon" box.

Ratings

We do not make up scores. A product gets a rating only after real use, or when we quote a published average and cite where and when we saw it.

Prices

Prices change constantly. Every price shows the date we checked it. Check the seller before you buy.

Affiliate disclosure
