Marin Alpine 29er hardtail trail bike

19 May 2008 in Adventure Gear by Ross

This is a pretty bad-ass mountain bike for under $600. Rock Shox Dart 3 suspension fork, with preload, rebound and turnkey lockout, gives you 100mm of travel to meet the demands of your ride. 6061 aluminum frame features organically shaped, custom butted E3 tubesets to provide maximum rigidity while maintaining lightweight responsiveness. I think this is as good a value as one can find in the world of moutain bikes.

Got a better one? Leave a comment! What’s your favorite trail bike?

Amazon Kindle

15 May 2008 in Books, Gadgets by adam

The new Amazon Kindle is the iPod of books. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

Kindle’s paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you want, this is a pretty powerful travel companion.

$399 |Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device

Best Lightweight Shell Jacket: Arc’teryx Beta AR

8 May 2008 in Adventure Gear, Clothes by Ross

I own this jacket and I can tell you it’s the single best piece of outdoor clothing I have.

From islands to rivers, to snow capped mountains, it will keep you and anything attached to you, bone dry–yet it’s super lightweight and durable. Arc’teryx created the Men’s Beta AR Jacket for mountaineers, skiers and adventurers who want the performance of Gore-Tex Pro and top-notch durability without a laundry list of un-needed features.

The Beta AR Jacket includes polyester-reinforcements on high-abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows to increase its lifespan. Pitzips help you stay cool when the going gets tough, and WaterTight zippers combine with the waterproof breathable material to provide moisture protection when the weather turns nasty.

What this Arc’teryx jacket doesn’t have is a million pockets, a heavy zip-in liner, fancy electronics pockets, or any other weight-adding bells and whistles you don’t want. Hold on to this one for life and it’ll be the best money you ever spent.
