Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 17 May 2026

HikeHeaven is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. This is at no extra cost to you.

The programmes we participate in

  • HikeHeaven is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
  • We may also participate in other affiliate programmes from time to time. These will be disclosed in the article where they appear.

Our editorial approach

  • We only recommend gear we've used or that we believe meets the standard described in the article.
  • Commission rates have no bearing on which products we feature or how we rank them.
  • If we haven't tested a product first-hand, we say so plainly.
  • Negative findings stay in the review. We don't soften criticism because a product is part of an affiliate programme.

Why we use affiliate links

The commissions help cover hosting costs, content production, and the time it takes to research and write detailed reviews. They keep the site free to read, with no paywalls and no intrusive ads.
