La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 2, 2008

Howdy. These shoes look like a very good pair of shoes, however after having received them, trying them on, relative to the Salomon XA PRO 3D Ultra, they were narrow... but, they were good looking, nice sole, and sexy.

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 2, 2008

i have a pair of Salomons before, and i went with these shoes again... good times... good support, may have a thinner sole than some, but i'm a fan of this, so... yeah, chose these over the La Sportiva Fireblade (think that was the name (?)), being as the Salomons were wider (and i've had good experiences with them)... ok, peace out, monkeys - N

Gift, Dent

Laken Hit Bottle - 1L

Laken Hit Bottle - 1L

Rating for this product: 3 September 2, 2008

I gave this as a gift to a friend, and when he called to tell me thanks, i asked him about it, and he said "i was washing it, and it tipped over, hit the edge of the sink, and dented"... we joked that he was violent and just dealing with PTSD, but remembered he was a dentist, and has a delicate touch... anyhow, i spoke with the Laken rep at O.R., she told me the inside was mailable, and won't chip off, so aside from ascetics, it was fine... so... that's two cents. (he commented that it doesn't insulate as well as the Klean Kanteen, which, to note, is that much more durable)

Gave this as a gift... he likes it, says it keeps stuff cold really well (he lives in Vegas, but he likely isn't hiking around with this too.)... ummmm... he also said he's dropped it one, and it was fine..... i'll probably get one for myself, that is all - IPv

Pearl Izumi Phase Running Short - Men's

Pearl Izumi Phase Running Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 August 4, 2008

I really like these shorts. They breathe well, good fit, and I'm considering buying another pair or two... In regards to other posts, there is a tiny pocket that fits my key just fine (it's in the inside rear)... as for snugness, though I'm not a very big gent (5'9", 145lbs), I haven't had any troubles with them being too snug (better than the other direction it could go (too loose)).

Seemed to work... being as I keep a bald-look I used it on my head during a run-race... and.... POOOF.... no burn. Damn it was hot out though... Kinesys now needs to make a cooling-lotion, wouldn't that be somethin'? ... I'm just rambling now... Buy it, it will treat you as well as other (if not better).

I bought this bag to utilize when riding around town on my bicycle... i feel that it is, in fact, cooler than a non-airscape bag... it's light, functional, and flashy... and seems to be good quality... size-wise, i can fit my 17" laptop in its case in (barely)... so... yeah... enjoy - IPvirus

Darn Tough In-Country Merino Wool Micro Crew Socks

Darn Tough In-Country Merino Wool Micro Crew Socks

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2007

i wanted to touch base here on this post, as i bought the 1/4 sock before, and it's essentially the same sock, but this one can be worn with a suit (to adhere to GQ standards of showing no skin in a dress pant)... i said the following on the 1/4, and it stands true with these too:

As an avid flip-flop sandal wearer, i expected this sock to be like any other sock... uncomfortable... but in purchasing these socks i'm taken aback at the comfort, breathability, smell (lack there of), and pure style of these socks... i am planning on buying a pair for every day of the week, and i'm not kidding. Jumping back to smell, you can wear these things like five times without washing (i thought i'd try it due to the nature of wool (less washing the better)) Enjoy!... Ciao. -N
