Topeak, Air BackPack


Not sure what has taken so long, we have had sneakers that had an air bladder, why not backpack until now. Topeak has bridged that gap.
A revolutionary cycling specific backpack which uses pressurized air to fine-tune personal comfort and fit. Multi-channel air chambers located in the hip belt and back contact area inflate with an integrated micro pump and release valve providing infinite adjustability.

Constructed from lightweight and durable 210 denier nylon, the form fitting and aerodynamic Air BackPack features multiple storage compartments including: full length center zipper providing main access; separate top loading Hydra Core compartment; zip side panel; side water bottle pocket; built-in, fold-out helmet holder and hidden pull-out rain cover. A clip-in Gear Core keeps gear like mini pumps, tools, tubes and more in separate pockets and can be removed when more storage is needed

Let there be light, PentagonLight


Now you could run out and get the SureFire but does it come with a retractable sharpened spikes around the bezel that protrude outward only when the spike protector is lowered, I don't think so. Not sure that justifies the $129.00 it is however a selling point. Now the Surefire lights are tough to choose, there must be 50 lights to choose from. Hey just light the night and blind the person that is coming at you!
When did flashlight become a big ticket item, the ones at the Army/Navy store work just fine at $12.95. Your choice one is a defense weapon the other shines light.

Time for Fun, shock-absorbs the bumps


Starting to get cold and in some parts snow is falling, so it is time to get ready to be a kid again.Get some friends find the smoothest, hardest packed, bump filled ice field and get crazy. If you are in Arosa, Switzerland, then you can go down the whole mountain and even at night on lighted slopes. Wow how nice would that be in the states. Well I guess you have the Poconos where they have a seperate slope for sleding, but not the same as using the whole mountain. Any way the Alu Sled, built from aluminum, the shock-absorbent silver slider has plastic runners, a handbrake, and packs up into a sexy little carry case. What more can you ask for, just get ready to pay a premium, but hey you could pass it on to your children, or not. Price $636
Have Fun!
