Why trust the RW Score

I do not run a materials lab. I run the gear.

Every product in a category gets weighed and measured by me, put in the same units, and re-checked against my own field notes before anything publishes.

Full methodology ›

01Sweep the categoryEvery current product with a verifiable spec sheet goes into the sheet, not just the popular ones.
02Normalize the numbersWeight per liter of capacity and cost per year of use, so listings stop being able to hide behind marketing photos.
03Check the ratingsWaterproof, load, and temperature ratings are noted where published, and flagged where they are not verified.
04Re-check before it shipsI go back through every weight, durability, and safety claim against my own field notes before publication.
