MyPublicScores exists to help readers make better choices about sports and outdoor gear. This page explains how we research and write our content, and the standards we hold ourselves to.
How We Research
Every guide, review, and comparison on this site starts with research. We read manufacturer specifications, check safety standards where they apply, look at independent sources, and read real feedback from people who use the gear. We compare several options in each category so readers can see the differences, not just one favourite.
We write in plain, simple language. If a topic is technical, we explain it the way we would explain it to a friend — clearly, and without jargon.
How We Choose Products
We choose products based on what matters to the person using them: build quality, comfort and fit, durability, ease of use, and value for money. We ask whether a product does its job well, who it is right for, and whether a cheaper option would do just as well.
We do not choose products because a brand asked us to, or because a product pays a higher commission. Our recommendations are based on research, not on business relationships.
Independence From Brands
MyPublicScores is independent. We are not affiliated with any brand, and no brand can pay for a review, a recommendation, or a better rating. We do not publish sponsored reviews.
We may earn a small commission when a reader buys through an affiliate link on our site. That commission never affects what we write — if a product is not worth your money, we say so. You can read the full details on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
No Paid Reviews
We never accept payment in exchange for a positive review. If a manufacturer sends us a product to look at, we will say so in the article, and it will not change our opinion.
Honesty and Corrections
We aim to get everything right, but mistakes can happen. Product specifications change, and sometimes we get a detail wrong. If you spot an error, please tell us at admin@mypublicscores.com. We will check it, fix it as soon as we can, and note the correction where it matters.
We do not quietly rewrite a review to change its conclusion. If new information changes our opinion about a product, we update the article and say what changed.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
We are writers and researchers, not coaches, trainers, doctors, or physiotherapists. Our content is general information, not professional advice. For training plans, injuries, medical questions, or safety advice about a specific activity, please talk to a qualified professional.
Our Promise
We write the kind of guides we would want to read ourselves: honest, practical, and easy to understand. If a product is great, we’ll tell you why. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
