Advertising and affiliate disclosure
The short version
Fieldnote is reader-supported. When you click a link on this site to an official product store and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the seller, at no added cost to you. That relationship pays for our research; it does not decide what we say in a review, including when we flag a product's own published claims as unverifiable or internally inconsistent.
Which links are affiliate links
Every “See Current Pricing,” “Select the … pack,” and similar button pointing to an official product store on this site is an affiliate link. We mark this clearly at the top of every review and again near each button. Links to research sources, government fact sheets, or our own internal pages are not affiliate links.
Why this does not shape our reviews
Our editorial scores are calculated and locked before any affiliate link is added to a review, using the weighted criteria explained on our investigation process page. This includes cases where our research finds a red flag, such as an internally inconsistent supply-duration claim: we publish that finding even though it may reduce the appeal of the affiliate offer.
What we are not
Fieldnote is not the manufacturer of any product we review, does not operate any official product store, and accepts no payment from brands for coverage, no free product samples in exchange for a guaranteed positive review, and no pre-publication review rights for any manufacturer.
