Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Standards
Updated: 5 days ago
Trust starts with knowing who is paying for what you read. This page explains how MotoGearRater makes money, our relationship with the brands we cover, and how our content is produced. It applies to every article on this site.
How MotoGearRater makes money
MotoGearRater is reader-supported. When you buy gear through links on this site, the sale may benefit us, either through an affiliate commission from an outside retailer or directly when the store is Legendary USA, which has the same owner as MotoGearRater. This never changes the price you pay. Affiliate revenue is how we fund the site.
Our relationship with Legendary USA
MotoGearRater and Legendary USA have the same owner. Legendary USA is an American motorcycle gear store, and it owns the BECK Northeaster Flying Togs brand. Many of our articles link to Legendary USA and BECK products, and those links go to our owner's store, so a purchase benefits our owner directly. Every link to legendaryusa.com on this site is marked as sponsored. We tell you this plainly because you deserve to weigh it when you read our recommendations.
Our editorial policy is that recommendations must follow from the evidence in the article, not from the commercial relationship. When a Legendary USA product is the right pick for a rider, we say so. When a competitor makes the better product for a given use case, we name that competitor. Brands we cover and compare include Legendary USA and its BECK Northeaster Flying Togs line, which share our owner, as well as Fox Creek Leather, Vanson Leathers, Cockpit USA, Held, Dainese, Alpinestars, and others.
How our content is produced
Some articles on this site are drafted with AI assistance and edited and maintained by the MotoGearRater team. Factual claims about materials, construction, and safety certifications (such as EN 1621 armor standards and EN 13594 glove standards) are checked against published standards and manufacturer specifications. We are progressively upgrading older articles to our current editorial standards, including named authors, testing details, and updated dates.
Corrections
If you find an error, factual, technical, or otherwise, we want to know. Use the contact page and we will review and correct the article. We would rather fix a mistake than defend one.
What we will not do
We do not accept payment for positive coverage. We do not let a partner write or approve our verdicts. We do not present sponsored content as independent review without labeling it. If any of these policies ever change, this page will change first.
