About

We rank gear on data, not on what pays best.

Methodology

Every recommendation goes through three checks:

1. Is the demand real? Twelve months of weekly Google Trends data — not just the level but the slope. Categories with falling demand get rejected, however good they look on paper.
2. How entrenched is the competition? Review counts on the top listings. A category where the leaders hold 20,000 reviews at 4.8 stars is one where buyers are already well served, and we say so.
3. What do people actually complain about? Reddit threads and low-star reviews, where people describe in their own words what broke, what didn't fit, and what they returned.

What we don't do

• Recommend a product the data argues against, however good the commission is.
• Make medical claims. If you're in pain or injured, see a doctor or physiotherapist.
• Recommend supplements.
