Where the facts come from

Every measurement on a product page comes from the spec sheet of that bag: the size, the volume in liters where we give one, the tumbler sizes it is cut for and the mat thickness it holds. Prices come from our scheduled catalog update.

Comparisons with other brands

Where we compare our bags with bags of other brands, every figure for the other brand comes from that brand's own product page, opened and read on the date printed with the table. A price there can change after that date.

Public sources

Our guides lean on public agencies and professional bodies on carrying loads, hydration and court play. Every source is opened and read before a sentence cites it, and the date we read it is printed with it. We say what a source says and nothing more.

Ratings, reviews and photos

The star rating and the number of ratings on a product come from shoppers at our retail partner, as of our last update. The colors of one bag share a pool of ratings, and we count each pool once.

Product photos and the clips in our film come from our own product photography and videos.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, write to carry@sportsnew.org. We fix facts first and note the change in the next catalog update.
