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, we may earn an affiliate commission from the retailer. This never changes the price you pay. Affiliate revenue is how we fund the site.
Our relationship with Legendary USA
MotoGearRater has a commercial partnership with Legendary USA, an American motorcycle gear retailer. Many of our articles link to Legendary USA products, and we earn commissions on purchases made through those links. 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 Fox Creek Leather, Vanson Leathers, BECK Northeaster Flying Togs, 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.
