On The Water Gear is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
What This Means for You
When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase on Amazon, On The Water Gear may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
How It Affects Our Reviews
It does not. Every product reviewed on this site has been selected based on quality and relevance to our readers — not based on commission rates. We have recommended lower-commission products over higher-commission ones when they were genuinely better. We have also recommended against products even when doing so meant losing a commission.
Our Commitment
Ryan Calloway tests every product personally before recommending it. We do not accept free products in exchange for positive reviews. We do not accept payment from manufacturers to feature their products. Affiliate commissions are the only form of monetization on this site, and they are earned only when our recommendations genuinely help readers make good purchasing decisions.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines, we disclose that this site contains affiliate links. This disclosure applies to all product links throughout the site including review articles, comparison articles, buying guides, and all other content.
