SPY is owned by Penske Media Corporation and staffed by reporters and editors in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

The SPY team tests products in-house whenever possible to provide in-depth first-person feedback and reviews. For articles where product testing is still in progress or impractical, we rely on careful research and reach out to experts in the field, who can speak to first-hand experiences with a wide variety of products in a category. For our shopping guides, our editors and freelance contributors spend hours researching consumer trends and talking to forecasters and informants in the field to ensure the products selected are compelling and represent where the market is going, not where it has been most compelling new products.

Yes. SPY has a team of product testers who use and review featured products based on criteria set by experts. SPY works hard verify the sometimes outrageous claims made by brands. When evaluating a product, SPY considers “performance” broadly; performance can mean functionality, durability, efficiency, comfort, vibes, or any combination of those factors. And, yes, all of these things can be tested.  If you are curious how, please read more about our testing process. SPY does not promote brands or products that our experts, testers, and our editors do not stand behind.

SPY does not guarantee coverage, but will consider any product relevant to our audience. SPY is specifically focused on testing products related to men’s grooming, style, and health as well as home technologies and home goods. For consideration, please contact SPY’s Deputy Editor, Avery Stone.

SPY makes affiliate commissions from select products and retailers. SPY frequently promotes products on which the brand receives no commission at all. SPY works hard to operate in the best interests of its readers.

Content decisions are made by an independent editorial team. SPY does, however, offer sponsored content opportunities, which are created by our editors but are always clearly labeled as “Sponsored” to differentiate from our standard editorial coverage.

We are constantly creating new content and updating older stories to ensure our recommendations remain strong and products are in stock.
