@LeakyValve, first off welcome to the forums. Always needing new input and sharing of experiences. Great question. It depends on the item being reviewed and if the review is by the mfgr or by someone on the forums. All of your points would or should be looked at and addressed. But the common golfer wouldn't generally have access to some of the technological methods used. Cost for sure, size is a big one for me. Being a tad bit rotundo many of the apparel items are out of my grasp as they don't make sizes above XL. Does the product really work? Looking forward to seeing what you are proposing. Again, welcome aboard.
