All gear that has been reviewed has been thoroughly field tested. I will do my very best to give a review based on solely performance and functionality for me. All gear and equipment will be reviewed on its own merits regardless of company, price, or any other stigma that might be associated with company or product. I hope these reviews are a help in your pursuit of gear that fits you. Anything I might not address or miss please free to send a note I will get back to you right away. Enjoy
