Kapitol Reef Snorkel
Kapitol Reef Snorkel

The world’s first pressure-regulated snorkel.
This revolutionary dry snorkel uniquely regulates exhalation pressure and separates fresh ready-to-inhale air from exhaled carbon dioxide.

What’s wrong with my regular snorkel?

1 stars
1out of 5

Sizing: Feels too large

Pros: Breathes easy

Cons: Gurgles constantly

Best Uses: Noisemaker

Reviewer Comments: I used this on three snorkels at Catalina in ideal glassy conditions. It gurgled loudly and constantly. I was the butt of jokes from boaters 50 feet away. The gurgling is distracting and scares wildlife away. Everyone thought I did not know how to clear a snorkel. Followed all instructions in book, always gurgled. If you like gurgling this is the snorkel for you.

Nikon LC-CP16, Replacement Lens Cap for Coolpix S4 Digital Camera.

A Necessary Part

3 stars
3out of 5

Pros: Stays attached to camera, Easy To Use

Cons: Not Durable

Best Uses: Sporting Events, Traveling

Reviewer Comments: I’ve owned this camera for two years and think it’s great. It’s a replacement for a bulky Olympus C-730 that lasted until the day after the warranty expired! I’ve taken the Nikon all over the world and even to Antarctica. The 10x optical zoom and the compact size can’t be beat. The camera and the lens cap has stood up to everything, including drastic temperature changes. The only thing the lens cap didn’t stand up to was being knocked off my bed and landing on the hinge! The only casualty was the cap.

With all I’ve put this camera through, I’m willing to spring for six bucks for a new lens cap. I’ll even get an extra.

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Peace of mind

Best Uses: Accident Prevention

Reviewer Comments: I’ve never written a review before but after my horrific experience last night, I felt compelled to. My friend recommended this product before I gave birth so I bought it and installed it a couple of months ago even though my then 2 month old wasn’t moving much. Well now she’s 4 1/2 months and in the last week she’s gotten quite active in her crib. So I did my usual check on her before going to bed last night and there she was, laying at just the right angle with her head turned in just the right way to where she had her face and nose up against the bumper. Even though I knew it was a breathable bumper, my blood ran cold. Thank God she was okay but had I not had this exact product on her crib, the outcome could have been much different. This product is a MUST HAVE, because although you think your baby could never end up in the position mine did, they can! Don’t take the chance, it’s WELL worth the money. Also, we have a sleigh crib and haven’t had any problems at all with installation, etc.

Speedplay Zero Chromoly Road Pedal Review

Speedplay Zero Chromoly Road Pedal
Dual Sided Entry: The symmetrical double-sided pedal self-locates just by stepping down into the cleat whether the pedal is right side up, upside down or anywhere else in its rotation. No kicking, no fumbling, no looking; just step down and go. Your Choice of Micro-Adjustable Float or a Fixed Posit…

Great Pedal, but Hard to install

4 stars
4out of 5

Pros: Increases Pedaling Efficiency, Reliable Entry/Exit, Customizable ‘float’

Cons: Confusing to install

Best Uses: Road Biking

Reviewer Comments: Product: Speedplay Zero Chrome-Moly BlackPrice: [$]Review Score: 4.5 out of 5Being my first time purchasing clipless road biking pedals, I was a little more than nervous dishing out over a hundred dollars for some new pedals. However, after reading about how clipless pedals allow you to pull as well as push while pedaling, which in turn increases the amount of power and torque delivered which makes your riding more efficient. I was very interested. Because it is such a large investment, I wanted to make sure that I got the best bang for my buck.After doing research of the different available pedals, I chose to go with the Speedplay Zero Chrome-Moly Black pedals. I’ve read that they were easy to get into, and out of (a very important feature for me because this is my first time with clipless pedals and have heard many stories of people falling when first trying out a system), and that they were very comfortable to use because of a customizable feature that lets you readjust your feet during riding called ‘float.’ This ‘float’ feature was the kicker for me. In short, this feature allows the reader to slightly rotate their feet during riding and saves the rider from potential injuries. This added health benefit, which is lacking in the majority of other pedals was the major factor that pushed me to purchase this product. I bought it online from Performance Bicycles, [...] Once they arrived, I was very satisfied. To my delight, I am here to write that every positive review I read was right. The pedals took little to no time to learn how to use. I never fell over off the bike while trying to learn how to use them, which I’ve read is a very commonplace occurrence when people buy a new clipless pedal system. The other aspect of the pedals that was very user friendly was the adjustable ‘float’ mechanism that allows me to rotate my foot very slightly during riding. It has proved to be very comfortable and I don’t want to imagine the discomfort that I would’ve felt without this feature using other pedals. However, that is not to say that there are certain aspects of this product that I have found frustrating. The cleat installation process was more involved than I had expected and lead to a couple hours of frustration. Other clipless pedal systems are much easier to install onto your shoes. The thing about this issue is that once I figured out how to install them, it was done and does not affect riding at all, so this turns out to be a minimal downside and is not a good reason to not buy this product. Also, even though this cleat system is different from the more common SPD system, the cleats are still compatible with all the same shoes, which is nice. Overall, I love these pedals. They allow me to be connected to my bike when I ride and make climbing hills much easier on my legs and making accelerating a much easier endeavor. If you are looking to take the leap into using a clipless pedal system for the first time, or if you were thinking of switching your already existing system, I would very strongly recommend trying out the Speedplay Zero clipless pedal system. Pros: Light, Easy to Clip in and out of, similar price to competing products, knee saving customizable ‘float’ mechanismCons: Difficult and confusing to install cleats onto your shoesBottom Line: It’s a great clipless pedaling system. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a set.

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: High Quality, Good Value, Durable

Reviewer Comments: I love my Chillows. I purchased the pack for my wife and I. I liked it so well I sent my brother and his wife a Chillow pack as a gift. It is very easy to put the water in the first time and then you don’t have to do anything more with it. I slid mine inside my pillow case on top of my pillow. Note – it is not a pillow. It is about a one inch think cooling cushion. It really works and keeps your head cool. No more waking up in the middle of the night with head sweat! My brother used his to help him rest more comfortably when going through chemo. This is a simple but useful product that I would recommend to anyone that has heat issues while resting or sleeping.

REI Ultra Light Jacket – Men’s Extended Sizes
The spectacular Ultra Light jacket features two-way stretch ensuring great performance and an ultra-comfortable fit.

Passed the hose-down test

4 stars
4out of 5

Fit: Feels true to size

Sleeve Length: Feels true to length

Chest Size: Feels true to size

Pros: Waterproof, Lightweight

Best Uses: Wet Weather, Hiking and Camping, Casual Wear

Reviewer Comments: I’ve been lucky to have not yet been caught in bad weather with this jacket but I’ve been curious to know how it would do in rain so had my son hose me down. We stood out in the yard and he sprayed up to get “rainfall” on me, then straight at my back, front, and sides. I gave the jacket a good soaking while we stood out in the front yard having too much fun with water for quite a long time. End result: I was completely dry. Good job REI Ultra Light Jacket!

1 stars
1out of 5

Cons: Ineffective

Best Uses: To warm the bench withThe

Reviewer Comments: The best I can say at this time is it does throw tennis balls. One of the reasons for the machine was I have recently had rotator cuff surgery. I was looking for a way to recover muscle memory. I know ball machines are not perfect but I was very lucky to get two balls in a row within 10 feet of each other. This was with osilation off, one notch above level evelation and one notch of top spin from center with a speed of 40 mph. Now to be clear. I received this request for comments well before the machine arrived. It has rained all but two days since receiving it. I followed the instructions to a tee but have only used it one time. After the 10 hour breakin period and being able to use new tennis balls (suppose to use old balls the first 10 hours)I hope I like it much more. If not I will have wasted a great deal of limited resources to no avail. Also, it will not fit in the trunk of my car. I must admit it is very good at wearing it’s seatbelt. LOL
