OK, I know dried meat products are not for everyone and turkey jerky in particular can gross some people out. However, if you do have the good sense to have a palate that appreciates great dried meats, I HIGHLY recommend Snackmaster's free range turkey jerky. Hot & Spicy is my fav and my kids love teriyaki. Snackmasters uses super-high quality turkey and cuts it into slices (none of that weird "formed" meat that looks like it gets extruded from a machine).

Turkey jerky is a great snack for athletes as it is high protein, has a lot of salt to replenish lost salts, is low in fat and cholestrol. And it is is liteweight and easily portable so it is ideal for multi-pitch climbs or mountain bike rides.

Breitling - Emergency Watch

3 people recommended this item

Description

I am sporting my new Breittling Emergency and I totally love it. Granted and fortunately, I generally don't need an emergency distress beacon w/110 radius on a daily basis, it is still a good feeling to know I could let any plane flying overhead know exactly where I am and that I needed help asap. The breitling Emergency is designed to offer downed pilots an additional beacon in case their plane crashes. I am not a pilot but I am a mountain biker, climber, and surfer, sports which often take me to places where there are few other people around. If I ever crash hard on my bike and am off the trail in a heap, stranded climbing, or, as was the case when I surfing in Indonesia, afraid our boat was going to sink after hitting a reef @ night 100 miles off the coast of Sumatra, I would be really glad to have the extra beacon on me.

plus, the Breitling Emergency looks cool (I got it w/an orange face). Stylish enough to wear w/a suit but still sporty. Has an alarm too which is a must-have feature for me.

Metolius PAS - Personal Anchor System

First to recommend

Description

I love my Metolius Personal Anchor System. I use it as a replacement for my daisy when free climbing (ie not using it for aid). Great, fast, and safe way to clip into an anchor, as well as a good way to clip into a bolt when resting between burns on a hard section on your project. Plus, I also use the PAS as a back-up loop when rapping. Fast and safe. Bomber design and construction, as always, from Metolius

ALCiS - pain relief cream

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Alcis rocks! I was highly skeptical about the claims made about this stuff when I first heard what tey have had to say. As an avid amateur athlete, I have had my fair share of sports-injuries and have tried myriad unguents, potions, ointments, gels, and mentholated concoctions over the years. So far, I had not found anything that works better than Advil (though arnica is good too) for pain relief.

Then, yesterday, I crash landed on my shoulders while bouldering and totally worked my neck in the process, so much so that I have been walking around w/ice-packs and had a hell of a time sleeping. My friend, Nicole, recommended I try the Alcis and you know what, it really worked. I wish I had remembered to bring some home w/me last night as it would have made sleeping a lot easier w/out a throbbing neck

evolv Evo Rock Shoes

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I love the Evolv EVO's. After years of using super-mushy/soft-soled moccasins, the EVO's offer a bit more structure and pointing ability. I do miss being able to curl my toes the way I can in my Moccasyms, but the precision I gain w/the EVO's makes up for the lost malleability.

Also, the EVO's are super-comfy and go and off super-easily. Even though they are synthetic, they don't get that super nasty funky smell so many synthetics do.

Arnette Rage POLARIZED Sunglasses

First to recommend

Description

I love dark wraparound sunglasses- keep the bad UV out and lets you look where you want and no one knows. Also, polarized lens are a must- see thru water glare and make the sky turn different shades w/a turn of your head.

Arnette Rage are my latest pair of wraps. Got them in matte black w/grey lens. Great for sports, work, or free time.

Tissot T-Touch - Mens outdoor watch

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Tissot T-Touch watches are super cool and multi-functional, doing everything from telling time to telling you your altitude and compass bearing. For me the key attributes in a good watch are 1, does it have a good alarm; 2, does it have a good chronograph; 3, does it look cool; 4, can i wear it to a biz meeting; and, 5, most importantly, can it survive on various adventures. The Tissot T-Touch succeeds on all fronts. Plus it has a groovy orange rubber band (orange is my favorite color)

ProBar Original Blend

First to recommend

Description

Probar's are super-tasty, whole-food energy bars that pack a wallop. Larger than many energy bars, Probars are great meal substitutes when on enduro rides or half-way up a long multi-pitch route when you want those extra calories. Unlike many bars, ProBars actually taste like real food and are not highly processed. I like the Original Blend flavor the best which is loaded w/ anti-inflammatory nuts.

The North Face Pamir Windstopper Glove

First to recommend

Description

The North Face Pamir Windstopper Gloves are awesome. I have been a big fan of Windstopper materials for years- the fabric really does work to cut out windchill. It is tough too: it does not rip or melt too easily and the gloves themselves never seem to fall apart, no matter how much I brutalize them (w/in reason, of course, but, generally speaking, I am very hard on my gear)

The main reason I have to replace the Windstopper gloves is usually because I lose one of them :-(

In any event, if you want some durable, comfortable, bomber gloves for campling, etc that are supple enough so you can still do relatively delicate things w/them on, get the Pamirs or any of The North Face Windstoppers. Essential for climbing trips and surfaris to non-tropical climates
