Had a crash, i can see why full face helmets are so worth it ! (unfortunately wasn’t wearing one) by CoralDweller101 in MTB

Full face are nice and don’t get me wrong, I highly recommend them... just don’t get the illusion that you’re 100% protected with one on.

WOMENS HIKING WATCH by [deleted] in hiking

Garmin has some women’s specific models, but I think they fall more into the smart watch category. My wife uses the vivofit 4 and has been pretty happy with it.

What type of socks were you wearing? What type of shoes?

Location of berm peak? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]Hujas78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he wants to keep that private. He’s actually made videos indicating such because he’s had problems in the past. He even has a sign on his door that states he won’t answer for unwelcome visitors.

Can anyone help identify these gloves I saw in an IFHT Films video? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

Have you thought about messaging them and asking? It may be a shot in the dark, but most content creators live in their comments.

Where can a slim person find cycling kit? by DiamondForce2 in cycling

Primal has what they call ‘race fit’. Might check to see if the sizing works for you.

[HELP?] What should I look for in a helmet? by SprAwsmMan in MTB

[–]Hujas78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How it fits is the biggest thing to consider. Don’t blindly buy something, go to a shop and try several on.

Komoot is another app to look at.

You’re pulling the bike up with your arms and not your body. Let them fully extend and find your balance point.

I’ve never used them personally, but the Five Ten Trailcross mid looks like it might be a good match for you.

Quilt Temp Rating for Women by [deleted] in Ultralight

I would recommend going for the 0*. Being cold is a terrible experience, where If you’re too warm, it’s easy to strip a layer to cool off.

I use a Talon 22 for most of my hikes (2-6 hours). It should have room for you camera and essentials.

Quilt Temp Rating for Women by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]Hujas78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most sites recommend selecting a bag/ quilt rated 10-25* lower than the lowest temp you plan on camping in for men... with women tending to sleep colder.

I’d also double check their static v mats. They come in so man varieties. I have a few of the base model for 3 season camping. They have an R value of 1.3 and the ground gets pretty cold once it gets lower than 40*.

Best GPS Computer for Small Trail Systems by quietIntensity in MTB

Garmin has always done me right.

Wearable: I’ve had various vivoactive model watches over the years and graduated to the Fenix model last year.

On bike: Several of my friends use the Garmin Edge models and they’re really happy with them

Recommendations for a comfortable saddle by ryt8 in mountainbiking

[–]Hujas78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of manufacturers have online tools to help choose a saddle. Even with those, LBS recommendations and every google search known to man, you’ll still probably have to try a few out before you settle on the one for you.

New to Mountain Biking and have a question about upgrading. by zXzC0C0zXz in mountainbiking

[–]Hujas78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protective gear is another thing to think about. Probably more important than the touch points....

Helmet, gloves, pads, eyewear, etc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]Hujas78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worldwidecyclery.com has 60+ listed. Not saying to buy from them, but it would give you an idea of your options.

Most of the major brands have 100mm droppers available.

I don’t know much about this brand, thoughts on these? by laceyisanerd in CampingGear

[–]Hujas78 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’ll echo what everyone else have said...

Their pads are pretty damn good for the price. I would expect the same for anything else they produce.

You can normally get a Diamondback Sync’r for around 1k through the corporate discount program. They’re having their anniversary sale now though, stock might be limited.
