HuffPost Shopping says it spent two years handing out awards to products across its coverage, chosen after what it describes as hours of research, expert guidance and personal trial and error. This Labor Day weekend it found several of its own award winners on sale, including quick-drying hiking pants, noise-cancelling earbuds and a posture-correcting sports bra.

The piece functions as both trophy ceremony and storefront: HuffPost may earn a commission on every purchase made through its links, a disclosure printed above the very awards it is promoting. The pants in question are praised for UPF 50+ protection and water resistance reviewers reportedly marveled at, though the 'expert guidance' behind the honor is not detailed beyond the outlet's say-so.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

An outfit that profits from every click has no business also handing out trophies for the thing it is selling, then reporting on its own trophies as news. It is like a fellow judging his own pie at the fair and then setting up a stand to sell slices out back. Call it what it is: an ad with a ribbon stuck on it.
