Review of IRH Air-Lite Shiny Finish Riding Helmet

IRH Air-Lite Shiny Finish Riding Helmet - Gold
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Love this helmet. Light weight, comfortable, dial fit system adjusts completely and correctly to the child. Durable. Visor will crack (as it should) on impact, but does not fall apart with normal use. Not hot (we live in Florida). The small fits my 9 and 10 year olds. At first all the kids want the bright colors, but soon realize that all the big girls wear black, and prefer the same so I would not recommend the purple. Have been through several different styles of helmet in different brands and find this to be most comfortable and durable in the less expensive helmets. Easy to clean, good for use in rain, the kids wear them with out complaint.

Do love the weight and quality of this...and the dial system. The dark blue looks almost black.

We did struggle over the sizing though. My daughter just turned 6 and is a bit big for her age...more the size or a 7 year old. We couldn't find many comments on size and had difficulty finding sizing detail, so ended up ordering a "medium". According to the "centimeter" range on the sticker in the helmet, it should have been too small for her. But in reality it is really almost too big. We dialed it down though and it did feel secure. The dial does give it an amazing range. If we were able to try both a small and medium I am not sure which we would have picked.

I have ridden horses all my life, but never had formal lessons, we just rode horses we owned. As an adult I continued to ride without a helmet. Cowboys never wore helmets, why should I? As an adult woman I was riding my horse through the mountain cliffs on my land. A tree limb crashed down on the trail in front of my horse. My horse spun around in a panic and I went flying down a rock cliff. I had no broken bones but had a serious concussion and was in a coma for several weeks. It took several months to recover completely. I now never ride without a helmet. It is so hard to figure out what size or type to get when you are an adult. Everything is aimed at kids. From stores specializing in riding equipment I tried & sent back several helmets. Then I found this one. Size medium is perfect, love the adjustment for the exact right fit. Love that it looks good, not like a bubble on my head. Thank you Amazon for helping me find just what I need, again!

Great fit. Looks like an old world polo helmet. Good value for $39. Pretty big on a head, but I didn't buy it for style.

And he likes this helmet.

I use this wetsuit 5-6 times a week for teach scuba in a pool. I stay warm while people who do not have wetsuits are shivering. After a few months of use, the pull tab came off the zipper.

If you are looking for wetsuit for kiteboarding or wakeboarding in warm (upper than 10 Celsius degrees) water it will be the best choice. Size L will be the best for 180 cm and 80 kg mens. Also have to say that construction of the wetsuit is very considered you will never want to change it!

Cheap Microweight L/S Crew - Womens

Smartwool - Microweight Crew Womens - Large - Black
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Smartwool is almost the perfect fabric. I say almost because there are materials that are softer, but none that perform the same. She wears it all the time and it doesn't matter whether it is 0-65 degrees. She uses it for light outdoor activity and for general activities. It is both stylish and versatile, not to mention, she looks great in it! Although pricey, it is totally worth the money. Could I afford it, I would only wear Smartwool as I try to purchase a piece once a month to add to my collection.

For Men: I have the men's version. I can't tell you how much I love my shirt. It is the perfect material and could be used for anything! I have worn it to the gym, skiing, running, camping, EVEN to a nice dinner with the Wife, you name it. It fits very well and stretches to your body type. I am an very armature body builder and it fits perfectly as I progress. Super strong material and I would buy one to wear every day if I could afford to.

It is every thing I hoped for. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of three is because I think it should be priced a little lower, not because of any lack of quality, but simply because this puts it out of range for some people's budget, particularly in this hard economic time. But, of course, maybe the price gives more people jobs and is fairer to those whose work to manufacture it. We can only hope.

Bought this to keep my daughter warm in her snowy climate. Nice quality and weight. I just hope the wool, intended to be worn next to skin, is not at all itchy. It seems soft, but I feel the wool in the weave. Prompt service. Excellent seller.

So far, these warm pants are just thatwarm. I was skeptical about the wool not being itchy, but they are not itchy at all.

I purchased these as a base layer for a week-long ski trip to Snowshoe Resort, WV. They did a good job of keeping me warm, but they developed a small (1.5 cm) tear along a front seam after wearing only one time! They fit fine, so I am not sure why they tore there. They were my favorite pant base layer, so I washed them daily, and air-dried them. They were dry every morning, and the hole didn't get any bigger the rest of the trip. I would give them 5 stars, but I was disappointed the hole developed so quickly.

At the end of the day, these "pants" have kept my legs from freezing off when out with the dog in the snowy Canadian winter so I give them a thumbs up. Initially, I had wanted snow pants but didn't want to wear something so bulky (plus, even the cheapest pair of snow pants were $200). Someone recommend the HH base layer at the local sporting store Amazon had it for $25 cheaper so, of course, I ordered a pair (after trying on in the store). My first impression is that these are the long johns people used to wear in the '80s but I guess because they're made of Merino wool, they're in a different stratosphere. They are only slightly itchy (which you get used to quickly) and they have seams down the front that give it some nice detailing (or maybe it's functional?) I'm anywhere from a size 2 to 6 and they fit nicely. Have worn at least a dozen times and they have not stretched out or become misshapen. They are high -cut though, which is the one thing I'm not used to but I guess it doesn't make sense to have low-rise long johns. Final verdict: they're expensive for what they are but still cheaper than snow pants...

Cheap adidas Men's Striker Short

adidas Men's Striker Short, Black/White, Large
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
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 like the shorts. What the write up on these shorts does not tell you is that they have drawstrings. This enables you to tie the waistline as tight as you wish. That is a big plus!

ExOfficio Women's Nomad Roll-Up Pant Review

Exofficio Women's Nomad Roll-up Regular Pant, Midnight, 12
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
ExOfficio is trying to create attractive women's outdoor clothing (something few if any companies are doing), and these pants achieve that goal. They are both cute and comfortable, rich in color and shapely. That being said I did end up returning them because after trying two different sizes, the fit was just not right for my body type. I am curvy, their models may be more straight. When they fit in the hips, I had 3" extra in the waist. They need to add an "Apple Bottom" cut for me I guess.

I love these pants. They ride just below the waist and the waistband is lined with soft fabric. I have them in 2 colours and can build complete wardrobe around them when I travel as they roll up to be capris and are so light that they work in heat too...only time I rethink taking them is to the tropics with high heat and high humidity. Bonus is you can hand wash them and they are dry in no time.

Best Deals for ExOfficio Women's Nomad Roll-Up Pant

I love ExOfficio and loved everything about these pants when I tried them on. I'm sure they will pack well. They have plenty of room to move in and are almost weightless. The Teflon coating should repel water though it scares me a bit to think of wearing Teflon. But that is not what the three stars are about.

So what is the problem?? There are two snaps on the front that have VERY SHARP edges on their backs. I didn't notice this when I tried them on but the first time I sat down they cut into my stomach. If you have a flat muscular stomach these might work well but an ounce of baby fat on the belly might be too much. The pants were not tight around my waist, in fact they fit perfectly and sat just below waist level which I love. They even have a nice felt liner that goes around the waist but DOES NOT cover the sharp flat backs on the snaps. I'll probably find some soft flannel and sew a backing on them because I love the pants otherwise, but I hate having to fix something on pants that I paid this much for!!

Honest reviews on ExOfficio Women's Nomad Roll-Up Pant

Nearly perfect travel/hiking pants. I wore these almost daily/nightly on my recent three week camping vacation through the Boundary Waters and northern shores of Lake Superior. When I wasn't wearing these pants, I was in my ExOfficio Nomad shorts! These are the ultimate pants for long car travel, trekking through mosquito infested woods, hours in a canoe, sitting around the fire, as well as dining out. Material resists dirt and washes exceptionally well, packs small-without wrinkling, and deters the discomforts of bugs/brush on a hot day-while providing enough breath to keep an active gal cool. Stylistically, the side pockets provided tons of room for safe handling of maps, i.d., nutrition bars, etc., & the optional roll up legs are perfect. In addition to high functionality, they allow for feminine curves! No need to feel like you're in menswear. Back pockets and additional colors are my only wishes.

Bought a pair of these Ex Officios[[ASIN:B0043EVSBO ExOfficio Women's Nomad Roll-Up Pant] recently in the khaki color for hiking; the fabric will be great in warmer weather, like the pocket placement with zippers and snap waist. I have about a 31.5" inseam and these are long enough too. One of the reasons I selected these over other brands was the convertible pant snap up it looks good and the annoying zipper doesn't rub across the leg.

Perfect in every way BUT ONE: they are wierdly tight across the front in upper thigh/lower crotch area yet there is plenty of room at the waist. I am not pear shaped in fact, mine is the straight body type. So I don't understand this, especially for a cut that is supposed to be "relaxed fit." Wondering if once a few pounds of winter weight are shed that these will fit better or should just be returned. Decided to make the trek to REI to try on several pairs of hiking pants in various brands for comparison this tightness seems to be particular to the Ex Officios Hope they are listening to customer reviews because I really like everything else about these!

There's about an inch margin in either direction for the MBPro 15" which is not what I expected. I'll keep it for now because it's waterproof but will happily replace it when I find an equally well-built but smaller sleeve.

I really liked this sleeve. Unfortunately the battery that stuck out the back of my ThinkPad made my machine too big for the sleeve. However, as long as you have the correct dimensions, the sleeve seems very well made.

I find a lot of technology cases look tacky and "gadgety" but this one looks clean and classic. It's slim appearance belies the fact that it can actually hold a thicker laptop.

Honest reviews on Manhattan Portage Nylon Laptop Sleeve

Just received the case and it definitely exceeded my expectations. What is great about this case, is that it offers the best of both worlds when it comes to protection and waterproof capabilities. The build quality is very nice and it also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The only thing that I found wrong with the case is that it is just a little too spacious for my macbook air 13 inch. I don't mind the space, but it does not fit the laptop perfectly.

Despite the sizing, I would still recommend people buying it for its quality and simplicity. It also looks clean and simple which I like.

These singlets are super soft and extremely lightweight. The fit is true to size. I like the forwarded shifted shoulders and the colors are bright and fun. I bought the pink/white, red/yellow/ and blue/white. The back of the red/yellow is less see through than the others that have a white back. If you have a tattoo it will show through (a plus for me), even your skin shows through. So, if you are modest, you might want to skip these. They are very comfortable workout tops.

Review of ASICS Men's GEL-Precision TR Cross-Training Shoe

ASICS Men's GEL-Precision TR Cross-Training Shoe,White/Navy/Silver,11 4E US
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This shoe has all of the lateral and arch support needed for someone who is on their feet all day long. They are slightly on the narrow side, true to size lenghtwise, padded all around and extremely comfortable. The soles are thick but not heavy by any means. I recently took my family to all the parks of Disneyworld and Universal Studios in Florida. I must have walked 100 miles in the three weeks we were there, all in my Asics precision TRs. No blisters, swelling or soreness. They don't need breaking in or additional insoles. I wear a size 14 medium. I've had them for several months now and when I'm not wearing dress shoes, I wear my Asics. I have purchased several other pairs of these and rotate them. I occasionally wear the black ones to the office.

I have been wearing Asics Crosstrainers for many years now and I find that as the years progress, the quality remains consitant and the materials used become more durable. If wearing them on a wooden court such as for basketball or handball, it is best not to wear them on the street. The soles will grip better and wear longer if used only on the court. Keep seperate pairs for everyday outdoor use, training and running.

My feet are square. We're talking Fled Flintstone square. I have a very hard time finding shoes that are wide enough. Based on some other reviews of the ASICS, I decided to order a half size larger than I usually wear and am glad I did. Fairly snug all the way around, but after wearing them for a couple of days they've stretched a bit and are comfortable.
