How we track

We only use official sources. For every item we open the brand's own public product page, not a marketplace or reseller. Many cottage brands run on Shopify or WooCommerce, which publish the same price and stock data the page shows in a public, machine-readable form. We read that.

Every item shows “Last checked”. Times are in UTC with US Pacific time next to them. If our last check is old, trust the brand's page, not us.

We don't guess. If a page doesn't say whether something is in stock, we mark it “Stock unknown”. Prices are copied as listed, in the store's own currency. “On sale” means the store itself shows a lower price next to a crossed-out regular price.

“In stock” can mean some options only. Gear comes in sizes, colors and temperature ratings. If at least one option can be bought, we say In stock and show how many options were available, for example “12 of 18 options”.

We're polite. We follow each site's robots.txt, wait several seconds between requests (longer where a site asks for it), fetch each page once per check, and never go behind a login. If a site blocks scripted visits, we don't work around it. We read that page by hand, and we say so on the brand page.

Restock history starts now. The first check ran on 2026-11-12. From the next check on, we'll record when items come back and how long they stayed in stock.

Links. “Check it on …” buttons go through /go/… to the official page so we can count clicks. They may become affiliate links later; we'll say so when that happens.

Brand by brand

Not on the list: Superior Wilderness Designs makes packs to order under a monthly order quota, so there is no in-stock or sold-out state to track yet.
