    Knee Brace

    I over did it on a pack hike a few weeks ago and I've been experiencing a little bit of what I think is quadricep tendonitis. Issues have lessoned over the past couple weeks but sheep season is upon us so I wanted to pick up a knee brace to give the knee just a little more support. Anyone have...

    Maven B1 vs Swaro SLC

    I've been searching and reading every review possible for the Maven B1's. I've yet to find a good review comparing the B1 to the SLC 10x42. There is a little bit out there comparing the B2's to the SLC but not the B1. If anyone out there has been able to place the B1 next to the SLC in...

    I spent 30 minutes yesterday comparing 10x42 binoculars at Cabelas; the Meopta Cabelas Euro HD, SLC, Trinovid, and Razor HD. For the current $899 sale price I thought the Meopta was a very good bino. The one issue I had with it in the store is that it seemed to pick up a lot of glare and...
