Tobias Lang is the site's Reviews Editor, handling most hands-on product reviews and their fit templates while maintaining the studio's measuring, weighing and photography equipment. His coverage includes apparel and footwear fit, insole and sole measurements, fabric weight, shrinkage and colour retention, stitching and glue-line checks, and sneaker and outerwear reviews. Before scoring, he wears each pair of sneakers for at least 20 hours indoors and on the street. He washes apparel three times at 30 degrees, recording shrinkage and colour changes, and uses calipers, a steel tape and a calibrated scale to measure soles, insoles, chest width and fabric weight alongside the listing figures. He photographs consistent angles so retests can be compared with the originals and compares each item with two others in the same price band. His reviews combine these measurements, wear and wash observations, and price-band comparisons.

So prüfe ich

He wears each pair of sneakers for at least 20 hours across indoor and street use before scoring, and washes apparel 3 times at 30 degrees to observe shrinkage and colour retention. He uses calipers, a steel tape and a calibrated scale to measure soles, insoles, chest width and fabric weight, recording the measurements alongside listing figures. He compares each item with two others in the same price band and uses consistent camera angles so later retests can be compared with the original records.
