About Swagboat

Who we are

Swagboat is an independent product review site run by Thomas Whitfield, a private individual based in Manchester, United Kingdom. The site publishes honest, experience-based reviews of motoring accessories, driving aids, and consumer products — with a particular focus on equipment that makes driving safer and more comfortable.

Swagboat is not affiliated with any manufacturer, retailer, or automotive brand unless explicitly stated in an individual article. Where an article is sponsored or contains affiliate links, this is clearly disclosed at the top of the page.

Editorial approach

Every product reviewed on Swagboat is assessed on the basis of personal use over a meaningful period of time. We do not publish reviews based on press releases or manufacturer briefings alone. Our goal is to give you the honest, practical information you need to decide whether a product is worth your money — including when it isn't.

Where content is sponsored or advertorial in nature, it is clearly labelled as such from the first line. We believe transparency about commercial relationships is non-negotiable.

Affiliate relationships

Some pages on Swagboat contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These commercial relationships do not influence our editorial assessments. We will always say when we think something isn't worth buying, even if we have a commercial relationship with the retailer.
