Raab Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I like. I also looked at the very similar - if not the same - SJ vest. But these are impossible to find in SA. Hammer Nutrition can import these on their next order, but it won't be cheap. I'm really considering the Set 5.... Only done one run with my new pack, only thing i can crit at the moment are the front pockets, they are very narrow (being designed for the soft flasks) and will struggle to accommodate a wider bottle

Fisan Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Ultimate Direction up'ed their game with their new range. (yeah, I'm still stuck with the hydration vest...). They revamped their signature series offering lighter, stretchier and better looking iterations of their previous vests. The 11l AK 3.0 looks like a nice option. It's basically the closest yet to Salomon's successful pack, with a little bit more adjustability (compression bungee, waist compression straps and adjustable straps at the "bottle pockets"). It just got released in the states, but it would be nice if I can get my hands on a set. If only Hammer Nutrition would respond to their emails... http://cdn.campsaver.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/550x550/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/k/ak_mtnvest_poles_side_ud16.jpg Edited January 28, 2016 by Koei Raab 1
Fisan Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Speaking of awesome gear. ASICS just released the FujiLyte. This is particularly exciting to me, since I'm a big fan of low-drop lightweight trail shoes. Don't let the "classic ASICS looks" fool you - the FujiLyte is everything but a classic. It has 4mm of drop and weighs 230g (US 9) per shoe. ASICS spent most of their R&D on their road shoes, but this gives affirmation that the trail department is not yet forgotten (albeit a bit slow). http://c12010671.r71.cf2.rackcdn.com/978c8243-fd02-4ba5-89b7-b641ca46519a__L.jpg As of yet I couldn't find any reviews, but in time we'll find out how it compares to the competition. In the states these go for 110$ (compared to the $130 Salomon Sense Pro and $120 Saucony Peregrine 6). ASICS-ZA said it's already available in SA. Watch this space... droenn and Raab 2
RABUBI Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Did the biogen trailrun yesterday. Great trails on the 24km. However just wish they could start at 6:30 to avoid a bit of the heat
Raab Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Did the biogen trailrun yesterday. Great trails on the 24km. However just wish they could start at 6:30 to avoid a bit of the heat Yeah this is a trend of late, races starting at 8:00 in this heat is madness. Why not start in the fresh cool morning air?
SeaBee Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Just got the go-ahead to start running again! Slow, short, no hills, neutral feet (NO push-off) and so on. It helps to have been ill and the body is still stuffed by antibiotics... Absolutely zero in the tank and this helps making even a slow flat run feel like a good effort!

CyberSakkie Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Not getting it on Tapatalk, am I doing something wrong?
Fisan Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I could be right , but go straight for Sign In rather than Sign UP Haha so my error was bit of a fundamental error, combined with a weird database error (or something). I don't know my BikeHub passwordI usually use "sign in with Facebook" because ^^"Forgot password" doesn't work becauseusername "Koei" doesn't existprovided email address doesn't existSo I log in to the email address that's supposedly not connected to BikeHub, look back into the archives of way way back, find an email from mail@thehubsa.co.za addressed to my original username... So back to the "Forgot password" form: Submit old username...voila....it worked! Note to self: don't forget password Edit: Apparently username =/= Display Name... Edited February 3, 2016 by Koei
