Pearl Izumi Bike Shoes

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Pearl Izumi Bike ShoesIf you are an amateur to professional biker, then you already know how serious foot performance is to your ride. In order to get maximum foot comfort while riding and lugging the bike, you should try using a pair of Pearl Izumi Bike Shoes. Engineered specifically to transfer maximum power to the pedals, these shoes incorporate both a high traction carbon rubber outsole, and a nylon plate interior for a well balanced high impact push. This nylon plate (and flexible forefoot), also works as an advantage by giving a biker the necessary flexibility and support when carrying the bike around, or while site seeing at a potential destination point. For added comfort, these shoes are only semi stiff and have a low cut to reduce weight and further “bulk” around the foot. Reducing even potential weight, the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Low bike Shoes also uses a synthetic quick dry mesh upper so that moisture will not stick around to make feet feel heavy and weighed down. A secure fit and moderately priced, the Pearl Izumi’s are a great way to keep those feet pedaling down the whole trail.

EMS Mountain Light -20 deg Sleeping BagIve been camping since I was 6 (I am 25 btw) so, I have just a little bit of experience when it comes to the outdoor life. I know what it’s like to have a nice weekend forecast and then be stuck in a freak 18 inch snow storm. That being said, if you are camping in the winter, you should always always ALWAYS be prepared for cold nights. Instead of packing extra clothes to sleep in, or extra space blankets, pick up an EMS Mountain Light Minus 20 deg. Bag. This light weight, 800 goose down fill mummy bag, has a windproof/water resistant breathable shell, and is baffled to keep the fill in place. The internal draw cord makes the bag tight around your body to prevent cold air from coming through and it even comes with a compression and storage sack. Perfect for those cold nights on the trail, never get stuck on the business end of unpredictable weather again.
