welcome to duuude!

Black background with white bold text that reads 'du ude.'

We are a crew of guys/dudes/men who specializes in finding and reviewing the best in gear, apparel, grub, grooming, goods, and tech gadgets in the world. We search high and low to bring you only the best of the best so you can focus on only grabbing Only The Good Stuff (hence our catchy tagline). Like many of us, we want to spend our money wisely, get the best gear, and trust that what it says on the packaging matches what it is like in real, day-to-day use. Whether it's hiking boots that will take you to new heights or a jacket that will keep you warm all winter long, duuude has your back. Our mission is to help you find the perfect piece of gear for every adventure, the best outfit for a night in or a date night out, and a deal or two to help the ole’ wallet.

Only the Good Stuff.

Who we are.

How we started.

In 2019 we had this novel idea: do a review website and review ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. “It will be fun”, they said. “It will be easy”, they said. Bunch of liar-pants. We started reviewing brands we loved and we also reviewed brands we were not so pumped on. We quickly realized we needed a direction and re-focus. In 2020, we shifted gears and started only sharing the, well, good stuff. We didn’t want to waste your time reading a review to find out we would not recommend the product.

How it’s going.

Now, in our 3rd year since launching duuude, we have reviewed over 500 brands, posted around 1700+ reviews/articles, and given out alllllooottt of stars (more on that later). Our crew still seeks out brands, products, trends, and latest finds across the globe in search of the coolest stuff out there. We test each product in house, review it, and post to the site. If it is anything less than 4 stars, we do not post it. Simple as that.

Where we are headed…

We have some big plans. We plan on expanding our team of writers, expanding the number of reviews we share, and finding more duuude deals to offer our readers. We love widening our reach by offering guest posts, sponsored articles (gotta pay the bills ya know?), and showcasing brands that deserve a spot in the sunshine. We are only getting there with readers like you, who engage, share, follow, and if you are up to it- buy a product through our affiliate links (did we mention we have bills?)….

How we work.

Our process.

  • We start by finding products in the range of categories we feature on the site. Our team searches online, on socials, and Google trends, for new launches, top sought after goods, and what guys might want in general.

  • We then work with brands to obtain product(s) for testing. We collaborate most of the time with a gifted product in exchange for a full, honest, review. We let brands know upfront that we don’t post unless it is a 4+ star.

  • The fun begins. Our crew (spread across the USA) gives each product a full test. We review it based of several factors in each category to ensure it is the same standard each time.

  • We then wordsmith the crap out of each post, generate original content, grab images, and let our readers know the down and dirty about the product. We then post links, deals (if we have them), and information on how you can nab it, if you want it.
