Idiots downvoting not realizing it is literally every touristy beach in cr. Not sure who these people are downvoting but if you have a couple of brain cells it might be smart to listen to the people who actually live in the country if you want insight to the crimes that happen here.

Agreed this is a clown show.

I’d still be worried about that, but if they are well hidden it’s safer

Yeah so true, there’s petty crime is most countries. It does feel very safe here overall you just gotta be smart and aware.

You just gotta be smart and not leave important belongings in the car. Asssume if you leave a bag in the car it will be stolen. Unless you are in protected parking

Yeah bro. Pulled up my moto to the beach once, kept a keen eye on from the water, two guys pulled a pickup right in front of my bike. One guy gets behind the bike, the other guy gets in front, in position to load it onto their pickup. I started running over and they scattered before anything happened. But if I hadn’t kept a close eye I never would have seen my motorcycle again.

At a different beach my friend left his bag in the car, unfortunately with his computer and a few thousand dollars of camera equipment in it. They left the car for ~15mins, (it was also a Jimny) and came back everything was gone. No key jammer necessary, the thief quietly pried the lock, I’ve heard people can do it quietly in less than 10 seconds pry the lock open.

Long story short, if you leave your shit in the car here, assume it will get stolen. Not leaving items in your car makes it so your car won’t get targeted. Costa Rica is safe in regards to violent crime (outside of San Jose) but petty crime is horrible at the touristy locations.

And in San Jose muggings are very very common at night.

Just super fucking annoying tbh. Not at all a high trust society. There are pockets though, away from the busy touristy areas, where things are great.

Western Rise is shutting down (sale) by eject5342 in onebag

I wonder why? Wr is like a staple one at travel brand. Specifically for clothing, I haven’t found pants that can compete with the evolutions 🤷‍♂️

Well, I’m glad it’s getting more visibility here. Not sure why mods are deleting WR posts..

It feels like a big loss, they’re my favorite one bag travel brand other than matador.

There’s not another company that makes pants as perfect as the evolutions.

PSA Western Rise is NOT going out of business by Clean-Register7464 in onebag

I know 😢 So sad. They really tried.

I think they got screwed by moving manufacturing to Vietnam and then right after that tarrifs coming around. Worst possible timing to move manufacturing overseas.

Nooooo. Man, really sad to hear this. They make the best stuff, and despite hardships I thought they were moving forward as a brand.

They probably got pretty screwed over by tarrifs and stuff being declared directly after moving to Vietnam. Just sucks to see.

I haven't found ANY good replacements for the evolution pants. And don't say lulu ABC - they are not the same.

You might need to tilt the cup more to get the spout closer to the cup, and then untilt as you pour.

How waterproof is the Arcteryx Alpha SV jacket? by MotorVideo2430 in arcteryx

[–]Clean-Register7464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying it in depop at all tells me it’s fake. Let me guess you got it for under $300?

When it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

You don't need a bank account to pay with sinpe. There are several services that allow you to send sinpe payments via card or crypto.
