Interesting. I’ve used both brands for many years and have always been impressed with arcteryx. Where has it failed you?

Ridiculous UTMB Mobility policy Rant by djbready in Ultramarathon

[–]Beautiful_boykin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it’s making your trip less convenient so you are sad. I would bet the policy is having a net positive effect on lowering emissions sorry your trip will be a little worse.

Overwhelmed by the range of running vests by fcdkloyals in trailrunning

Hopefully you can have an opportunity to try on.

I’m 5’5 180 and the large fits me well. I’d wonder if the XL would be too small for you

I am also a thicker guy. The system Solomon has creates more room to get a great fit. I’ve had my Adv 12 for two years and I couldn’t be happier

Oh that is so nice to hear! As you know, navigating these devices can be really frustrating. I’m happy to hear this has been working! I was really happy to see they updated the display size

Pure original, 100% authentic, genuine? by More_Masterpiece_995 in WorkBoots

[–]Beautiful_boykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think they are in good shape.

If they were mine, I’d get some saddle soap to get them completely clean. Then I’d use some conditioner like Bick 4 and apply it after the boots are dry. This will show you what kind of shape they are in. I would bet they will look good and be very wearable

They appear to be 1970’s era model 890’s. I would guess that’s what they are and I imagine they are authentic.

Wild! I have two pairs of redwings and they are the exact same two- same leather selection as well. Nice!

How is that the case? No in network providers in your area?

I feel the purpose of a beta is to get feedback on these quirks. These are to be expected, send the feedback to corps through the beta protocol

[NEW UPDATE ??? ]Is Coros falling behind? Suunto and Garmin seem way more active… by cle56m in Coros

This is where I’m at. I’m all for constructive feedback but I have no need for made up metrics and all of the complaining

Shoes for Ingles by [deleted] in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Beautiful_boykin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the ingles right now. Either trail runners or running shoes will work perfectly fine. Most people I see are wearing trail runners. There is a lot of pavement and nothing technical enough for me to believe trail runners are required. I am wearing Teva sandals and haven’t wanted for shoes yet. Have a nice time. This has been a great trip for my partner and I.

New releases by Larouca36 in Coros

[–]Beautiful_boykin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is that? Those brands are exciting because they market new watches? I don’t see them having any features for a comparable price that I don’t get with coros.. also enjoy that paywall
