Corrections are the most useful thing you can send us. This page explains how to reach Camp Gear Data, what we can help with, and what to include so a report can actually be acted on.

1. How to Reach Us

Email editorial@campgeardata.com. It is the only contact channel, and it is read by the people who write the pages rather than by a support desk.

We aim to reply within a few working days. Corrections are prioritised over everything else.

2. Reporting an Error

This is the correspondence we most want to receive. A site built from other people’s specification data will contain errors, and readers who know a product well spot them faster than we do.

To make a report actionable, include:

• The page — the URL where you saw the figure.
• The product — the exact model, since manufacturers reuse names across generations and sizes.
• What is wrong — the figure we published and what it should be.
• Where the correct figure comes from, if you have it — a manufacturer page or the specification on the box is ideal.

Two categories of error are especially worth flagging. The first is a figure that describes a different size of the product than the one named — a known problem with multi-size listings, explained in the methodology. The second is a number that is simply implausible; if a figure looks obviously wrong to someone who knows the category, it usually is, and it usually indicates a unit conversion fault on our side.

3. Questions About Gear

We are glad to point you to the most relevant comparison or explain how a ranking was computed. What we cannot do is tell you how a product performs in the field, because we have not used it. If your question is whether a particular bag will keep you warm on a specific trip, the honest answer is that no specification can settle that, and a reviewer who has slept in it is a better source.

Questions we can answer well include how a ranking rule works, why a product is absent from a comparison, what a specification actually means, and how much confidence a published figure deserves.

4. Manufacturers and Brands

If you represent a brand and a specification we have published is incorrect or out of date, please send the correct figure with a source and we will update it. This is welcome and is handled the same way as any other correction.

To set expectations clearly on everything else: we do not accept sponsored content, paid placement, paid reviews, or brand-supplied copy, and we do not accept product samples. Since we do not conduct hands-on testing, a sample cannot contribute anything to our analysis except an obligation. Placement in a comparison is determined by published specifications and a stated ranking rule, and there is no mechanism by which it can be purchased.

Requests to be added to a comparison are unnecessary — categories are built from products actually selling in them, so a product with adequate published specification data will be picked up when the category is next refreshed.

5. Press and Data Use

If you want to cite figures from this site, please attribute them to Camp Gear Data and link to the page you took them from. Baselines are snapshots of what was on sale at the time of computation, and every page carries its date — quoting a figure without that context can misrepresent it.

For questions about how a particular dataset was assembled, the methodology page covers collection, normalisation, coverage thresholds, and known failure modes in the source data.

6. Privacy and Data Requests

To ask what personal data we hold, or to request correction or deletion, email the same address. In practice we hold very little that identifies individual readers — usually nothing beyond correspondence you started. Full detail is in the privacy policy.

7. What We Cannot Help With

• Orders, shipping, returns and warranties. We are not a retailer and have no access to any order. Contact the shop you bought from, or the manufacturer for a warranty claim.
• Product support. We cannot help with a faulty stove or a broken zip. The manufacturer’s support team can.
• Personal recommendations for a specific trip. We can tell you where a product sits in its category. Whether it suits your trip, your body and your tolerance for cold is beyond what specifications can answer.
• Link exchanges and guest posts. We do not publish guest content or trade links.
