Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-07-12
Affiliate Disclosure (US and UK)
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
This site serves readers in both the United States and the United Kingdom, so we follow the disclosure rules of both. In the US, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to disclose any material connection between us and the products we recommend (16 CFR Part 255). In the UK, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the CAP Code require affiliate content to be obviously identifiable as commercial. We meet both: this means we may earn a commission when you click a product link on this site and make a purchase. Affiliate links on our pages are marked as sponsored in their underlying code.
How We Make Money
MotorcycleGearAdvice.com earns commissions through the Amazon Associates Program.
Amazon Associates Programs (US and UK)
- Amazon US — we participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. US visitors see links to Amazon.com using our US tracking tag.
- Amazon UK — we participate in the Amazon EU Associates Programme. UK visitors see links to Amazon.co.uk using our UK tracking tag.
- In both cases: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases when you use our Amazon links.
When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This commission helps support the operation of this site and allows us to continue providing free content and recommendations.
What This Means For You
You pay the same price whether you use our link or not.
The commission we earn comes from Amazon, not from you. There is no extra cost to you for clicking through our affiliate links. The price you pay is the same as if you went directly to Amazon.
Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations
This affiliate relationship does NOT influence our recommendations.
We only recommend products we believe are genuinely good choices, based on research, community feedback, expert reviews, and (where possible) our own testing.
Our recommendations are based on thorough research and genuine product quality, not on commission rates. We prioritise helping you find the right product for your needs over maximising our earnings.
Quality Over Commission
We could earn more by recommending different products. We don't.
Helping you pick the right product for your needs matters more than maximising our commission. Our recommendations are based on thorough research and rigorous analysis—not on what earns us the most. Your trust matters more than any single transaction.
How We Choose Products
Every product we recommend is thoroughly researched using multiple independent sources, including professional reviews, expert communities, and user feedback. We evaluate products based on quality, performance, value, and real-world reliability.
Commission rates do NOT factor into product selection. We only recommend products that meet our quality standards and genuinely serve our readers' needs.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Operating this site requires time and resources:
- Researching and comparing products
- Writing and updating content
- Maintaining the site and quiz tool
- Monitoring product availability and prices
Affiliate commissions allow us to provide this service for free without intrusive ads, paywalls, or requiring you to create an account.
Non-Affiliate Links
Where possible, we also link to:
- Manufacturer websites (for product specs)
- Community forums (for discussions)
- Educational resources (for learning)
These links are provided purely for your benefit and do not earn us any commission.
Safety Note
Motorcycle gear is protective equipment, and we treat it that way.
We are not certified safety professionals, and nothing on this site is a substitute for checking current certifications and fit yourself. Safety ratings change: helmet, jacket, and armour standards evolve, and individual products get re-rated or withdrawn. Before you buy, verify current ratings on SHARP (UK) or the manufacturer's documentation (US), and confirm the certification on the actual item. Riding involves inherent risk, and no piece of gear removes that.
