Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: February 2026

Hill Country Gear, a brand of Harder Labs LLC, is a participant in affiliate programs with outdoor gear retailers and travel booking services. This means that when you click on certain product links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

How It Works

Throughout our site, you'll see products with buttons like "Buy at REI" or "Buy at YETI." These are affiliate links. If you click one and purchase the product, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Our Promise

We only recommend products we genuinely believe in. Our editorial content and gear recommendations are based on quality, value, and relevance to Hill Country adventures — not on which products pay the highest commission. We will always disclose when a link is an affiliate link.
