From smart, useful pockets to leg vents and waterproofing, we’ve found the most standout details of each design. For a non-insulated ski pant that serves…

If you have read some of my articles, you have probably heard me say “You don’t choose when and where an assault happens, the bad guy does.” I don’t believe there are any exceptions to this “rule,” so please think ahead and carry your pepper spray. When I am in public, I carry two pepper spray units, one is “on body” in my pocket and one is “off body” in my purse with a “handle” attached to it for quick deployment. Both these units have the “stream” application. I was recently presented with a situation where I needed to react,…

Snow bibs keep snow out and warmth in. They’re versatile, comfortable, and serve you well for all types of ski days.

These trousers are rounded out with quality material, leg vents, a drop seat, and often a matching jacket. Top options like the Flylow Gear Baker Bib offer top-of-the-line waterproofness and breathability, knee patches, a side zipper that serves as a drop seat, shoulder straps that swiftly buckle on and off, plus kick patches with…

My partner and I were camping on a friend’s land when he rolled up and found us testing the Yoshino Power B4000 SST. Like us, he’s a connoisseur of portable power stations, and I could tell from his inquisitive grin that he was already plotting ways to convince us to part with it.  He was initially enamored because it doesn’t sport the same utilitarian motif as other power stations. But what he didn’t yet know is that it’s also the only portable power station (at least that I’ve heard of) using solid-state batteries. That means it’s safer, lighter, and more…

His take on the Spyderco Sage was interesting. Read the whole thing at EverydayCommentary.com Read the full article here
