This might be something to build an awesome community around. Giving users way to add more than just comments: stuff like a way for the public to do more than suggest products - add them to a pool of incumbents that others can talk about immediately, a way to discuss personal experiences, ratings, photographic examples of products after x years of use - examples of failures after x time stuff like that.

I'd love to see a 100 year old Lodge pan or a pair of those keen sandals after 3 years :) Obviously clothes and cast iron posts have significantly different lives.

A lot of these Amazon referral link sites have popped up. Most do a good job of curating products but it does bring up the question of conflict of interest.

I'd love to see small write-ups or justifications as to why these particular products were selected. Also, I'm having some issue with the infinite scrolling.

Work gloves, work boots, work pants...? Regardless of quality, those will hardly last a few years, assuming you do any actual work with them...
