Sugoi RS Zero Jacket Review

Sugoi RS Zero Jacket
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This jacket is supple, soft, and comfortable. It fits more like a lined jersey than a jacket, and yet its thermal properties are superlative. It retains heat while deflecting wind and venting perspiration. Other jackets that do not have adequate venting become clammy inside. The Sugoi RS Zero keeps you incredibly warm while simultaneously wicking away moisture. I wore this jacket on a cold ride in Oberlin Ohio last weekend, with a merino wool sweater underneath. It was 34 degrees when we started, and I may have been too warm with the Sugoi. Naturally, some people feel the wind and cold more than others, and one cannot ensure that every cyclist will be immune to freezing temperatures with this jacket. I suspect the jacket will be warm enough for most even when the temperature drops down to the 40s and 30s (perhaps lower?), so long as they wear the kind of base layer that properly insulates and allows for evaporation. (Cotton, for example, will remain wet and become cold....) This is the most amazing jacket that I have tried, though my experience is subjective of course. I do, however, believe it is pretty sugoi (Japanese, for stupendous)....

Aqua Sphere WT 50 MEN'S Aqua Skins Review

Aqua Sphere WT 50 MEN'S Aqua Skins

These suits are not designed for a man with a lean athletic build. The suit I got was correct in length only, but to fit right I would have to have thunderous thighs, junk in the trunk and a beer belly.
To make things worse, amazon.com does not protect you from the highway robbery 20% restocking fee on returns to the vendor Red Rock Fitness Inc. Yes, I know it is my fault for not reading the return policy of the vendor amazon.com hooked me up with - but I am disappointed in amazon.com for doing business with vendors that have such policies.

Lowa Men's Renegade II GTX Lo Hiking Shoe Review

Lowa Men's Renegade II GTX Lo Hiking Shoe

These are really handsome shoes, they fit well (snuggly tight to the entire foot), and are very comfortable. I bought them just prior to a big adventure trek vacation in Costa Rica, and they were the only shoes I used during that trip. They got a huge test of a workout, in lots of rain, street walking, and hiking in very challenging weather and terrain conditions that included hiking on muddy and rocky mountains horseback riding, and crossing a bunch of shallow rocky streams. I think these shoes must be waterproof because my socks never got wet. They are hugely handsome with a pair of jeans I thought and seemed to look sharp when wearing rugged looking shorts. The particular color of shoes I bought are the navy blue and black ones (called "dark grey/navy"), and they have a really rugged, smart look to them. The picture on Amazon is true to the color they appear when they showed up. I say that because I've ordered shoes before that looked one color online and showed up looking considerably different. Anyway, this company Lowa got it right with these. I've never heard of Lowa before, and bought them on blind hope and faith. I've was pleasantly surprised. Personally I think the price is worth it, but only if you're going to get lots of use out of them. Oh, and as for shipping speed, they did seem to arrive quite quickly after I placed the order (but I don't know off-hand where they were shipped from). The only thing I have a concern about is that I got them hugely dirty, and I don't know how to clean them. Hopefully that can be figured out given the type of materials these are made of (some of it looks to be suede, and much of it a leather, I think, without reading the specs online). Anyway, bottom line: I love them.

Wenger® Men's 7083 AquaGraph Tide Swiss Watch Review

Wenger® Men's 7083 AquaGraph Tide Swiss Watch

I have had the watch for about two months now and am generally pleased.
Time keeping seems to be fairly accurate. Date function is always nice.
The lunar moon phase timer is working as advertised. The tide function
of the watch works equally well too. The overall look of the watch is
great. Not that I care, but I have had a few people comment on how cool
the watch looks. Overall I am very satisfied with watch.However the watch has
no form of illumination. Neither a built in light or glow markers
on the hands. I made the mistake of assuming it did. This is the only
shortcoming I have found. My primary use for the watch is fishing. So I
typically have a flashlight on me. But seriously, come on Wenger you
make all kinds of outdoor products, someone dropped the ball. Lack
of illumination was the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
