Cheap Abu Garcia Revo Fishing Reel (SX, Line Weight- 12/140)

Purchased the "lefty" version of this reel and I am totally satisfied with the quality and function of this reel. This was my first baitcaster and I wanted quality. The Abu Garcia Revo reels are professional grade fishing tools and are as good or better than anything out their. Amazon and its partner offer good prices for these items as well. High points for this reel are the easy brake adjustments, the super powerful drag, they are reasonably light, and, oh yeah, they catch fish. I have since bought more Abu baitcasters including another couple SX's. They are an excellent value.

My husband is very pleased with this gift, he said It is the best casting reel he ever had...

Honest reviews on Abu Garcia Revo Fishing Reel (SX, Line Weight- 12/140)

To begin, my experience prior with casting reels was all on a older Curado Bantam. I lost it in a lake when I was on a kayak and didn't notice that it and my three week old rod had fallen into the water as I paddled out. I purchased this reel after some research and because I had a Abu Garcia spinning reel that I liked. Skip forward. I got the reel and like my Curado I oiled the bearings because it looked a little dry. That was my first mistake. The Revo uses a different system for the cast control which required it to not be oiled much. After some research on forums I took out the pieces and cleaned off excess oil and it worked again. Skip forward. Casting on this reel is super nice. To be fair my Curado was five to six years old and the technology may have been a bit dated. That said the Revo casted nice and smooth and the braking system worked beautifully. There was no overrun and no birds nest even in 10 mph winds. The Revo also is silky smooth when reeling. The Curado always felt a little rough, not bad just not silky smooth. I have also purchased a new Curado 51E and that has the same feel as my previous Curado. It is not bad just a different feel. Abu Garcia seems to have a way of making the reel retrieve silky smooth. My Abu spinning reel is also really smooth which is why I decided to go with a Abu Garcia casting reel. Now that I think about it, the Abu Garcia reels feel like there is a little more weight behind it. Kind of like a flywheel on a car effect. The weight keeps things moving smoothly but without increasing fatigue, maybe reducing it since it takes less effort to crank. That last part is speculation since that just came to me. Overall great reel, I am already thinking about getting a Revo STX since this one is working out so well.

I bought the RH, 6.4:1 model, fulfilled by Shelton's Clothing, who shipped it on time and in good packaging.

This was my first baitcasting reel, although I have used baitcasters a few times. The SX falls in between the STX and the S in the Revo low-profile baitcasters from Abu Garcia. For my needs (primarily pond/lake Largemouth Bass fishing), the SX has the best balance of features/performance vs price. Based on the product image that Amazon is using, I expected a new but older model of the reel. When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually the current model (red drag cover, red accented spool, handles and star drag arms bent in towards spool, etc.).

Before using the reel, I carefully disassembled it and checked all the grease and oil points for lubrication. Everything appeared to have been properly lubed at the factory, but I added a few small drops of Quantum Hot Sauce oil to the mechanical brake and the spool bearings, per the manual.

I paired it up with a Abu Garcia Vendetta 6'6" M rod that I purchased elsewhere, and spooled the reel with 12# Trilene Sensation (green).

I've only had the opportunity to cast it about a dozen times so far. After being careful to get the mechanical and magnetic brakes dialed in for the weight of the spinnerbait I was using, it worked great -I was able to cast about 30 yards (not trying to really heave it out there) and using a bit of thumb pressure when needed, I didn't create any "professional overruns". The spinnerbait was pretty heavy, though, so the real test will come when I try casting lures and rigs that are on the lighter side.

Retrieve was smooth, fast, and quiet -the reel feels really solid.

I'll try to post an update after using the reel for a few months, but my first impressions are very positive and I would recommend the Revo SX.

We have bought this coat for our son and daughter now for the second time. We bought for my son a little big and he wore for 2 winters then bought again in a bigger size. Best coat. Soft and warm. Not stiff. The fleece is great. The boys fleece is a lot more dense than the girls. Girls fleece is soft and furry while boys is thick. Great coat can't say anything bad about it. Well the only thing is after several washes the word Marmot on the front has begun to peel. I do not wash on the gentle cycle or anything and throw in the dryer with everything else so likely my fault. I will buy this coat every time for my kids if I can find it.

Cheap adidas Men's Striker Short

adidas Men's Striker Short, Black/White, Large
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

First, these are soccer shorts. They don't have pockets because soccer shorts don't have pockets. You don't want some guy grabbing your pocket when you are jostling for the ball, and you don't want someone bumping against you with a big wad of keys or whatever else in their pocket. They are not running shorts or workout shorts or casual shorts. Complaining that they don't have pockets is like complaining that they don't have belt loops.

The quality is great and they fit well. Just be aware of what the product is before you buy it. If you are using these to play soccer, or if you leave your stuff in a locker at the gym (like you should), then these will work well for you. Maybe pair them with a some old school Kangaroos? Works for me.

I have a narrow foot and usually wear a B or medium width in running shoes so I can wear a sock with comfort. I tried on these shoes as soon as they arrived, and I can barely squeeze my bare foot into this supposedly B width shoe--it is tight and exerts pressure across the foot--even if untied. While the shoes look nice-they are not sized in a standard fashion and are much too narrow. These are being returned as uncomfortable and unwearable. If you notice, most sizes in the C-D width are sold-out--probably because no one with a normal width foot can wear the B-width. Be forewarned if ordering!

I have a history of supination with surgical repair along with RA. These are the most comfortable shoes I have bought. I usually run in New Balance 992s or North Face. I prefer a shoe with stability and tread for off trail. This shoe will do both. It actually feels good. Can't believe I waited so long to buy them and they cost half of what I have been spending.

They are a little "bright" in color but that's the only negative I can come up with.

I could not believe how comfortable these shoes were! I ordered them in my usual size, and they fit absolutely perfectly with plenty of support. There wasn't that period of "breaking in" at all either. When I went running for the first time with these shoes (track), it felt like I was running on a cloud. I've had major knee problems in the past and have been in physical therapy for my knee. These shoes did not aggravate my knee problems at all. Great shoe, and I highly recommend them.

Pearl Izumi Men's Select Barrier WxB Jacket, Safety Orange / Black, Small
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

Unlike the lighter packable bike jackets, this one has a second inner layer, a kind of rubbery material, which holds heat in. I find climbing hills over 50 degrees I need to take it off as it gets too hot and sweaty. Best in cold weather, or on downhill or easy riding on fairly cool days. For a proper snug fit on a 6'1" person, Large would be right. The sleeves are long enough. I bought an XL because I like a looser fit. It is but sleeves need rolled up. The back folds up if you want to use it for cold weather jogging. My only wish is that it has some ventilation zippers for the uphill climbs.

Having been using this for more than an year, I can say I'm fully satisfied with this jacket.

I still hadn't the chance for catching a heavy storm while using it, but used under moderate rain several times and my shirt under it haven't got a single rain drop at all. And while it offers a moderate degree against wind, it won't cook you under higher temperatures, since it's breathable.

Of course, you'll sweat more while using it under warmer temperatures than by not using a jacket, and it won't protect you from cold if all you're wearing under it is a t-shirt (you'll fell the cold wind against your skin on parts not covered by extra clothing), but as long you're using a long sleeved shirt, you won't be feeling extra cold from wind and if you need extra cold protection, just use adequate clothing (whatever you'd be using if not under rain or strong winds).

The colour is also very nice to have in cycling gear. It's kinda like marker pen colour and will keep you visible as long as there is some light (it has reflexive bands and the rest of the surface is very attention drawing).

And to it can go into washing machine to boot. I've washed mine this way a few times and it show no signs of degradation.

I am so satisfied with it that I bought pants as well, from the same line and with same degree of satisfation.

I immediately noticed that cars stop for me when I'm wearing this coat. They SEE me! :-)

Very well made, hi-viz coat with some bike specific touches. Kind of stretchy/rubbery. Blocks the wind well, with enough room for a light sweatshirt underneath on cold days. Sadly, it won't work for a ride above 70. I really sweat then. Buy it big though...

Honest reviews on Pearl iZUMi Men's Select Barrier Wxb Jacket

I bought this for BAK (Bike Across Kansas) when the forecast called for rain the first several days in 2013. It turned out I didn't need it then but have since ridden in the rain multiple times with it. I could not be happier.

To begin, the jacket keeps you dry, regardless of the amount of rain falling. My last ride was 33 miles over a couple of hours which saw more than 2 inches of rain during that time frame. My shoes, socks and bike shorts were soaked but my jersey was dry, except for the sweat generated by a good ride. The jacket has two draws at the waist to cinch it as tight as you'd like; two zippered waterproof pockets in front and one zippered waterproof pocket in the back. Stuff I had in each was bone dry. The front zipper also zips up higher than most regular jerseys would so you can get a good seal around your neck. I didn't zip mine all the way up (I have an 18 inch neck and the XL jacket would have been too tight to close all the way) but it worked just fine and closed more than enough to keep me comfortable and dry.

Second, there's a detachable hood with two length options that you can use to adjust if you want a tight or loose fit (or if you've got a neck like a giraffe. The hood comes off easily, if you are so inclined, and I've ridden in the rain with and without it. I've got a big old Charlie Brown-like head but the hood is big enough to comfortably cover my ears if I want(and thus keep the rain out) and still keep my head warm as well. In addition, there' s a bit of a bill on the front of the hood similar to what you find on bicycling hats, and that did a good job of keeping the rain from rolling down my forehead and into my eyes. A nice feature I haven't seen on some other jackets.

Third, the jacket has adequate venting so you're not going to melt in it. That's not to say it will breathe like a good jersey(it is waterproof after all). I like to ride during the fall and winter and it gets cold and windy here in Kansas. I can easily see adding this on top of a base layer that will keep me warm as the temperatures drop and the winds get too chilly for my cycling windbreaker.

Finally, the jacket is cut like a cycling jersey with a nice long (but not too long) tail in back. The cool thing here is that there are snaps (like the ones on the hood) that allow you to snap the jacket up in the back so it looks (pretty much) like a normal rain coat when you get off the bike or just need something to keep you dry when you're walking around. Very nice addition Pearl iZumi!

Yes, this isn't the cheapest option out there, and if you're just looking for something to wear if you are out riding and it starts to mist or rain, there are other good options. However, if you live somewhere where it rains a lot and that cramps your riding time, or if you're like me and just really enjoy riding in the rain (and cleaning your bike afterward), you won't regret this purchase. Good job Pearl iZumi!

It's a very comfortable fit, almost form fitting (M) but with extra space in the sleeves. Has a multitude of pockets (essential for runners): two hand pockets, two mesh pockets inside and one big pocket at the bottom for valuables while running (wallet, keys etc.). Also, very lightweight and stretchable, at no point when you run, does the material hinder your movements. In overall, it's also a very fashion-conscious jacket. You won't feel akward while, say, wearing it getting groceries.

The only downside it the attachable hood. It's simply impractical. It's not so much a hood but a cap of sorts. I tried to wear it while running in the rain, but it just kept falling over my eyes.

I'm 180 and 6.2, if that helps you make a decision about it.

This sweater is fabulous. It is soft (not itchy!), comfortable, gorgeous and has long enough arms. The only complaint I have (not enough to knock out a star though...) is that the sizing is a bit inconsistent. I have two of these sweaters, both in SMALL (I am 5'4'' and 120 lbs) and the green one is absolutely perfect, but the purple one is a little wide in the body of sweater and in the neck. They are definitely not exactly the same size.

Also, for people my size considering this sweater, if you like a more form-fitting sweater, try the EXTRA-SMALL, and if you like a little bit of a looser fit, go for the SMALL. I tried both on at a retail store before buying this sweater online and they both fit very well, but I don't like my sweaters to be very tight, so I went with the SMALL.

The fit for me is perfect and I like its adjustability. The vent adjustments work very well. It is much lighter than my old, solid, unvented helmet. I have only used it during spring skiing so far. I suspect it will not be as warm in real cold weather as my old helmet, but will probably add a thin balaclava underneath when I need more warmth. I love the design as well.

This helmet has excellent fit adjustability and variable ventilation. It is the first helmet that I have ever worn and most of the time I could not even feel it. It is light and well padded. The brim (chimney effect) works well with my goggles and I did not steam up once. However, the one problem I had is at high speeds the brim catches air and pulls the helmet up. This is not a comfortable feeling. If I was to buy another helmet I would go for one without a brim but I would not hesitate to buy Smith Variant because everything else is perfect.
