The Run Safe Philosophy

At RunSafeGear.com, our mission is to help you “Run Safe and Be Safe” through intentional preparation and the right gear. To keep our high-level technical research, field-testing, and safety resources free for the running community, we participate in several affiliate marketing programs.

Our Professional Associations

RunSafeGear.com is owned and operated by LevelUpESP LLC. We are a participant in the following affiliate programs:

  • CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction): We partner with various premium outdoor and safety brands through the CJ network.
  • Amazon Services LLC Associates Program: An affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
  • Direct Brand Partnerships: We may also partner directly with safety-focused manufacturers (e.g., RUSEEN, UltrAspire) to provide direct links to foundational gear.

How This Impacts You

When you click on a link on this site that leads to a product and you subsequently make a purchase, LevelUpESP LLC may receive a small commission from the retailer.

  • Zero Extra Cost: Using these links does not change the price you pay.
  • Privacy First: We do not collect or store your financial or medical data during these transactions. All purchases are completed on the secure third-party retailer’s site.

Our Commitment to Integrity

My 20+ years in IT leadership and 15+ years in ultra-running are built on a foundation of integrity. My recommendations are governed by the following rules:

  1. Performance Over Profit: A product only receives a 5-star rating or a place in “The Review Vault” if it has survived real-world field testing.
  2. Unbiased Reporting: We do not accept payment for positive reviews. If a piece of gear fails—whether it’s a leaking flask cap or a dimming headlamp—we will report it so you can plan for that “outage” before it happens.
  3. Vetted Gear: I only recommend gear that fits the “Run Safe” philosophy: reliable, functional, and foundational.
