The fuzzy hookstraps are all held in by a very weak single stitching and have been coming out recently. The strap adjusts pretty good though. Its a cheap made in china hat, you get what you pay for. I do not suggest buying this unless you are willing to repair it.

Honest reviews on Condor Tactical Cap

When I received this hat, I was a little disappointed in that it did not come with a US Flag patch, as other reviewers has stated that they did receive one. The hat overall is okay... the buckle that holds the hat to your head size is not really good. It will loosen up on your head. I do like the concept of the hat though, fully able to put any patch of your liking. Mine is the Khaki color and so far has not discolored around the headband from sweat. I live in New Mexico and shoot IDPA outside in the scorching heat, not sweat rings on it yet... Overall okay hat. Wish it was made in the USA also.

As the description shows, I ordered a Condor brand cap, but I received a Rothco brand cap. Never would have ordered it if I knew that was coming.

Pearl Izumi Men's Attack Long Sleeve Jersey Reviews

Pearl Izumi Men's Attack Long Sleeve Jersey, Red, Medium
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
When I bought this I really wished there was a review of it and yet there was not, so I checked with some other pearl izumi jerseys and hoped the sizing and everything would be ok. Other izumi jersey reviews noted that it tends to run small and that is true. I am a slim 5'9 and the fits me perfectly (shoulder width correct and right length/width). It would not have taken much for it to be too small though. As American brands have moved sizes up over the years I used to wear a medium, but most often now wear small shirts. I would say this runs around 1 to 1.5 smaller than average 'American' style clothing (which is to say loose and american clothes that are small seem to fit more like a full medium). The pictures are accurate for the color/look. There are open pockets in the back and the logo is discreet. The jersey I bought is a MEDIUM.

In choosing this jersey I wanted a long sleeve jersey so it protect my arms from the sun and prevent skin damage. Most jerseys are short sleeve so your arms are exposed to the sun the whole time. I still wear sunblock everyday (recommended) even under this. Another reason for choosing this is that it is upf 50 rated, meaning it is well-suited to protecting skin under sun. It also wicks sweat and breathes well, allowing good airflow. This is certainly acceptable for sunny weather and mid 70s and 80s because of the good breathing and it has so little weight. With that said, this is not one for cooler zones or the winter.

My main concern is that is very thin and does not seem particularly durable. One fall on this and I think it would rip right through. In a fall or even scratching bushes or plants, I think it would not provide any level of protection. It may have been nicer if the sides were reinforced with a vent or maybe the elbows were slightly thicker.

Summary: If you want a long sleeve jersey to protect your skin in the sun that breathes well and light enough to wear in the sun, this is perfect. That was what I wanted in a jersey and this does its job well.

I will update this review on its durability.

I was looking for a jersey to wear in the warmer weather (>50*F) for sun protection. I'd rather put on a good wicking long-sleeved shirt rather than lather on the sunscreen on my arms. This Attack longsleeve fit the bill. It is a thin polyester. What you are paying for is the design, fitment and fabrication. Totally great! Pockets in back. Long sleeves. form fitting shirt--even a t-shirt underneath felt unnatural. I did find the arms rather tight, especially the biceps. Thankfully (or maybe not) I do not have big guns so that isn't a problem. Should fit reasonably average, fit man quite well. I am 6'0", 185#. Large was perfect. Fitment across the line is why I stick with Pearl Izumi products.

NOTE: The review above is for the orginal Attack longsleeve jersey which is based on the short sleeve. It looks like the short sleeve but with sleeve extenders. The new Attack looks like it was designed for longsleeve from the get-go. It has different fabric along the shoulders that swoop down and around. The important thing about about the new Attack is that it is a much looser jersy and not as tight--more in line with other Pearl Izumi sizes and maybe even larger. I would not recommend a size up if you are buying the new style. With the old style, if you are thinner or athletic (without being too muscular), the same size is fine--everyone else should size up. At half price, the old Attack longsleeve jersey is a great buy!

I am 6'2" 208 lbs and the XXL fits... kind of... I have 16" biceps/46" chest and the arms are pretty tight, sleeves are long enough but overall tight in the upper body (chest/shoulders). Which would be fine, but it is very baggy from there down (waist/hips). Luckily I scored it for $29.00, I would definitely send it back if I paid full retail. Appearance and quality are top notch, it's just obviously cut for someone not very muscular on top. XL would have no chance of fitting me ;-)

Honest reviews on Pearl Izumi Men's Attack Long Sleeve Jersey

Good quality, I ordered a size medium which fits snugly but I still can get a tee shirt on beneath. I am 5'11" and weigh 166 lbs. The sleeves are long enough to cover my wrists which I like as I am susceptible to skin cancer so I need to keep covered up in summer weather. Great for long bike trips.

I love this shirt. I HATE shirts that have shorter long sleeves, you know....the ones you are constantly pulled down at the cuffs...and these are the opposite. I have some extra material at the cuff. It practically hugs my arms. I like my shirts big and this one is big but the sleeves are great.

It is high quality cotton and a great color (not that nasty ash color that some t shirt makers have).

I plan on buying more colors when I can.

Review of NeoSport Wetsuits Infant/Toddler Premium Neoprene 2mm Youth's Swim

NeoSport Wetsuits Infant/Toddler Premium Neoprene 2mm Youth's Swim Suit,Royal Blue with Navy Blue,3
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
We bought wetsuits for all of us for an upcoming snorkeling trip to the Caribbean in January, but started using them at the indoor pool for swim lessons because my kids keep turning blue and shivering after just 10 minutes in the water. I liked this one for our toddler because it zips in the front and opens up alot more than the styles made for adults and older kids. That feature makes it so much easier to get her into it. However, it does not keep her very warm. The description says its 2mm neoprene just like the style I bought for my older kids (also made by Neosport), but it is thinner and she still turns blue, just not as fast.

I bought this infant/toddler wetsuit partly for the front zipper, but mostly because I thought it was the only one that came in a small enough size for my 2 year old. After we got it and used it, I realized I could have bought the same size from the same company in the other style that I got for my older kids. I wish I'd known before purchasing as I would have bought the other style so she could be warm longer in the water. When she outgrows it, I am switching her to the other style. NeoSport Wetsuits Youth Premium Neoprene 2mm Youth'S Shorty

The sizing for this product does seem to run true to the company's size chart. The Neosport website lists Size 1 as fitting 20-25 lbs. My daughter is 23 lbs so we bought her the size 1. It is maybe a tad loose, but not excessively. Maybe this is why she isn't staying warm longer? But it really does feel thinner than my other kids' 2mm wetsuits. I just bought a swim shirt for her to wear under it in hopes that it helps her retain more body heat.

I've now used these in three different sizes for my now 4-year-old. They are fabulous.

They are not for really cold-water, but they help keep little bodies warm enough on normal days, and also protect against too much sun.

The shoulders are lycra, and the torso is lightweight neoprene. So these suits are flexible and allow free movement -while being a close fit -without chafing. (Some of the heavier-weight wetsuits by other manufacturers might chafe around the legs or neck.

I could go on, but, keeping it short, these suits are excellent -great design and durability.

I am only sorry they don't make these in even larger sizes -we will soon have to move up to other kinds of larger-sized suits of thicker neoprene that will not allow as much freedom of movement with as close a fit.

Highest marks.

I have mixed thoughts about this item. First of all, I had really hard time finding the right size. According to the online chart, my son was supposed to wear size 2. After a few purchases and returns, we settled on Size 1, and even that is still big! The suit does not fit my son like a second skin, allowing water get under it, so 5 minutes into his playtime, he begins shivering as bad as before. The suit did help with chlorine rashes though. The fabric seems to be good quality but the sleeves are just way too short and are made of a thinner material. It is very easy to put on and take off, even when wet. I will have to wait and see if this thing becomes more functional as my son grows up and fits in it perfectly.

Honest reviews on NeoSport Wetsuits Infant/Toddler Premium Neoprene 2mm Youth's Swim

I purchased this suit for 3yr 4mo daughter who is an average-sized toddler to wear during her swim classes. I like the suit design with the zipper in the front and the flexible shoulders/sleeves. However, the suit is a bit large for her in general and does not zip up right to the neck as in the picture, so cooler water continuous gets into the suit. It does not fit as snug as a wetsuit should. Overall I do think it still helps, but the sizing could be improved.

Got this for my 15 month old daughter who was shaking and turning purple in her swim class at the local community rec center. The water is a little on the cool side, and she was crying and not having any fun. The instructor suggested I get a swimsuit with more coverage, so I went all in and got this wet suit. So glad I did! She is so much happier and actually enjoying the water now. I got the size 1 which is perfect with a little room to grow. She is just over 20 lbs. Quality seems very good. Highly recommend!

I've actually owned a one these for about 6 years + and fell in love with it. I'd like to add that I hated wearing beanies, but after I got this mask and folded it, I use it as a beanie all the time. I used it in the fire service and it never let me down. I had been looking for another one, just in case I lost my first beanie. Since I had the dark blue, I went ahead in getting the black one. Both are excellent choices in color and the beanie/mask keeps you super warm even though it is thinner that most beanies. Over time, the fabric gets even thinner and softer, which makes the mask even better. Highly recommend it! I used to use it under my fire helmet as well. If you're thinking about getting it, GET IT!

This is one of my favorite pieces of cold weather gear. The warmth to weight ratio is great. I like it a lot better than wearing a hood because it moves with my head. It is easy to carry in a pocket when it is not needed. I use it running and bicycling and it works great by its self down to a few degrees below zero Fahrenheit. If the temperature drops to around 20 below or the wind really picks up, a stocking cap on top or pulling up a sweat shirt hood over it keeps my head nice and warm. For extended everyday use, it is nice to own more than one. Since my nose tends to run a lot when the weather is cold, the Wigwam mask soaks up a lot of stuff that will in turn start to leave an odor directly under my nose. Having a couple of the masks allow me to be able to pull out a fresh one if the well used one has not made it through the wash cycle. This simple product will allow you to maintain a comfortable body temperature in cold weather with a fairly light jacket. I have accumulated quite a pile of cold weather head gear since moving to South Dakota over 30 years ago. The Wigwam Thermax caps and Wigwam Thermax masks by far get the most use. I can't think of another winter garment that will provide as much warmth in such a small package for a low price. I would give it a few more stars if they were available in the rating system.

picked this cap about five years back and it was my favorite winter cap, as it is the most versatile and confortable one I had ever worn, it keeps you warm when it should and it does not get too warm at other times, also dries fast when it gets wet. couple of years back my nephew came to visit from Florida and borrowed it while he was here in the north east. I guess he loved it too as I never saw it again tryed to get another at the store but they no longer carry it there, just found it here on line and I'm buying two. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!

ExOfficio Savvy Dia 3/4 Sleeve Shirt Review

List Price: $60.00
Sale Price: Price Unavailable

I purchased this top after buying and loving a pair of ExOfficio Savvy capri pants a few months ago. I knew I liked the fabric and thought it would work equally well for a top.

The fabric is puckered, like seersucker, but in a modern blend. This isn't marketed as "quick dry" for travel, but it launders pretty well and is light enough in weight to air dry in a moderate amount of time or machine dry quickly.

I bought this top a size up from my measurements because ExOfficio often cuts pieces narrower through the hips, and I need extra room there. Because the top is cut with shape (narrower at the waist with subtle elasticized smocking in an ~3-inch band), it still lends a lady-like appearance, but the extra room at the neck/shoulders on me makes it appear more casual than it might if more closely fitted. (I.e., I could be wearing a bathing suit cover-up as opposed to a proper blouse.)

The white is translucent. I am fairly modest in my dress, mainly with regards to covering my arms and torso, but I do not find this top too sheer. The neckline is a slightly open vee, which does display a bit of skin. This is definitely tunic-length on me, and I could easily and comfortably wear this with leggings, but I am short (5' 3.5") and I did go up a size.

My biggest complaint is that I hoped for a secret pocket like my ExOfficio Savvy pants have hidden under the waistband. One of the primary reasons I purchase travel-specific clothing is to get those small, preferably-secure (zip/velcro) hidden pockets. I expected to find one in the side seam, but there is no pocket on this. I'm considering sewing in a tiny big of velcro to create my own pocket, however, as the crossover bodice does have a double-layer of fabric and it is open (like a sideways triangle) on the inside. If I make it secure, I could easily hide something thin/flexible in there!

I approached this purchase hesitantly. I have lived life as a 6' 8" tall man for some time, and I've learned the hard way that many items that advertise "long" or "tall" are not quite either. These SKINS are indeed medium-long. Truly, the best, most true fit I've found in any athletic gear. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for quality athletic tights. These are great for running and general work-outs. They retain heat, but are not thermal ... I would recommend them for use in temperatures of approx 30-60 degrees Fht. I would not recommend bike riding more than 5 miles unless you opt for a size up and wear riding shorts underneath. However, they do not seem best suited for that.

I bought these for jogging. I ocassionally jog but over the last few years I have developed a severe calf pain that comes and goes. When talking to my doctor he mentioned the supporting the calf muscle would help. A bit skeptical I decided to buy these. While they seemed expensive they are quite comfortable. I think I will try them on long lights to prevent swelling. Wearing them they are quite cool feeling. So far I have run for two weeks and I have had no calf pain. Ok they look like leotards so when the weather gets warm I may not be able to use them right now I wear them under sweat pants.

Amazon had a good price and shipping was ultra fast.

Hood is a little on the tighter side (not very roomy).

Got this top for a great deal on Amazon and I love it! It's lightweight and breathable but great for outdoor activities as a layer in fall or spring weather that's a little cooler. The fabric is soft and comfy and the color options are great! My only gripe is that I wish the body and sleeves were a few inches longer, but I am 5'11" so I am sure this would fit just right on someone of more average height. Also, this is on the slimmer-fitting side so if you prefer something a little looser-fitting or to accommodate a layer or two underneath, order a size up! But I found it just right for wearing a lighter-weight, slim-fitting tee underneath.
