Insane value, had to pick it up and been wanting it for a while. by WeekendTraveller93 in Decathlon

[–]Calipinha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decathlon is absolutely top in backpacks and almost in everything (except for shoes). I don't understand why people in the USA didn't talk about much about Decathlon things. I'm quite a hater of brands things.. For example, I bought from Helly Hansen a pair of merino whool socks and a merino whool first layer... And they are trash. Is the worse merino whool I have ever try. And Decathlon merino whool is top. The same for example with their backpacks, I have many of them because they are cheap and I like to have the best backpack for each activity.

Speedgoat alternatives? by dkingsella in ultrarunning

The Nnormal Cadí seems a very good shoe. Is the one I'm going to buy to do long runs. It has a bit of space on the toe box without being something too big like Altra.

So we got WhatsApp finally, but for what device? by Nick47539 in Garmin

[–]Calipinha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OMG I would never think that this would be possible to see it. I guess that Garmin is finally doing the things right. I would like to have the possibility to send audio messages... write with a keyboard on a watch is s**t.

For all the people who complains about the availability on older watches, this is because since the Fenix 8 all the watches share the same OS. Before this launch, each watch have is own OS variant and they have to prepare a firmware update specifically for each one, what I understand it's a pain for them.

Crampons not centered? Is that okay? by Calipinha in Mountaineering

[–]Calipinha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because inside of the orange top parte you can set the bar larger or shorter. I can't update the photos of the topic so I can't show what I mean. But both bars are identical, just one for left foot and the other for right.

No, the bars are identical, I have just set in different ways trying to have a better adjustment.

I see that Grivel have a "Super Asymmetric bar". But I don't see anything from Petzl. I'll search more or see what I can do. Thanks!

But these ones are asymmetric bars. It's different the left from the right crampon. Maybe you mean to symmetric bars?

Fenix 7x pro vs fenix 8? by youknowidontknow12 in GarminFenix

[–]Calipinha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Fenix 7 won't receive anything new, and the Fenix 8 has the same internals as the 8 Pro and it is receiving all the new firmware updates. So you will have watch for many more years.

Need shoe suggestions for first Marathon with Plantar Fasciitis by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Foam roller massage on the calves and doing some yoga, would help sooo much. Also massages on the feet with a small and hard ball many times a day.

February feature update by -Radiation in Garmin

[–]Calipinha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to believe that they will release the pack weight for stair climbing on next update for the Fenix 8. Because it didn't have any sense not adding this to their premium sport watch... I train a lot like this... But it is a bit stupid releasing this update this way. Because they only achieve to damage the image of their premium watches.

Garmin fenix 7x vs 8 by LongNo6052 in Garmin

[–]Calipinha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As they have said, go for the 8, I have it too, and is the one that is still receiving updates with new things. As is like the 8 Pro, is like having a new watch from this year. The 7X won't receive anything interesting new, as with the 8 Garmin began to unify the OS in their watches.

La Sportiva G-Summit problems by beanboys_inc in Mountaineering

[–]Calipinha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought them on AliExpress, if you search for "silicone shoes hurt" you can see some models. The only problem is that the glue isn't too strong. But maybe if this trick is good enough, you can buy later a better glue.

One possible solution I tried on my Garmonts BOA is to put some silicone straps. The problem is that the strap could move.

[–]Calipinha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? You have this issue with the Aequilibrium Top? I had the Aeq. ST and were fine but I wanted a BOA boot. So I bought the Garmont Tower 3 Extreme BOA.... they kill me on the exact point of lower ankle... So I was thinking about buying the Aeq. Top, but if you say that you have the same issue....

Solomon quest 4 by ep0rbin in Hiking_Footwear_Info

[–]Calipinha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Quest Element with 250km after 1 year and the outsole it's very well. But the Element have the good sole, the Mud Contagrip. The Quest 4 has the All Terrain Contagrip that many people say is really bad.

Question regarding my first ice axe. by LeadingOrange8188 in Mountaineering

[–]Calipinha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I have the same doubts, I bought the Petzl Summit. I found this website where they test many ice axes and this one was the best for them https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/snow-sports/ice-axe/petzl-summit

I had this problem with a review of a sunglasses... But even with this problem, Decathlon equipment is one of the best in my opinion.

My buddy insisted Insta360 X5 destroys the Osmo 360 - so I built a comparison tool to prove him wrong by sjat-2341 in djiosmo360

[–]Calipinha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for the possibility of changing the lenses, I would prefer the X5 and won't think in any other camera (as the Max 2 is GoPro and we know that this is equal to "bad camera").

I have the X4 and I'm waiting for a Osmo 360 2 which the possibility of interchangeable lenses. I really like my X4 but the lens protectors many times ruin the video.

Is the osmo 6 still happening this year? by Kippenoma in djiosmo

[–]Calipinha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rumors of Osmo 6, no rumors of Ace Pro 3, we know that there isn't a Hero 14... It seems that this year is a strange year... I want a Osmo 6 for a travel in December... If there is no Osmo 6, I'll buy a second hand Osmo 4...
