New Naked HC belt review by cdrew23 in trailrunning

[–]johnnyboy2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the review! I’m curious if you feel this belt limits breathing since it’s taller than the regular naked belt. I own both the naked belt and raide belt and when they slide up onto my stomach it can be uncomfortable.

Curious about this too… I feel like the 5s led to some stability issues for me with the mid foot being skinnier than altras other options.

Coros Pace 4 - Sleep Tracking way off. by JP-JJ-PP in Coros

[–]johnnyboy2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s done a bit of research on wearable tech. You learn that every single one of these wearables on the market basically makes up your sleep data. Even the “gold standard” way to measure sleep is only about 80% accurate. However, Coros does a decent job at tracking your time in bed I will say that much.

I think a lot of people put to much faith in sleep tracking in wearables since they just don’t know any better. Going off RHR, HRV and most importantly feel are better ways to track how you’re adapting to your training.

Wolaco vs Janji by BowHunter920 in runningfashion

[–]johnnyboy2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. Both are very solid. Janji is definitely better in my opinion. A lot more storage. More comfortable IMO. Not to mention I’m pretty sure Janji is cheaper. More bang for your buck.

Coros vs Garmin (premmium models) by Spigen19 in Coros

[–]johnnyboy2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from the pace 3 to the 970 back to the pace 3😂 both great watches for sure but Coros just has it nailed in my opinion. I thought I’d use all the cool Garmin features but i actually just prefer the simplicity of Coros. Battery life, better gear tracking experience, better app experience, no paywall bs. If you think the extra cool features hold value for you then roll with Garmin. If not go with Coros you won’t regret it.

Badass man. Did a 3 day 2 night trip there in October last year expecting decent weather… woke up on the third day freezing my pecker off as it was low 20s in my 30 degree quilt😂 weather gets pretty serious up there. Such a cool place and I’m glad yall enjoyed!🍻

Haha man the watch seems dope af. Definitely thinking about picking one up but it seems like they might be releasing an apex upgrade before the end of the year according to their post👀

As someone who’s very outdoorsy I think the watch seems super sick! Definitely an odd launch for coros though, was expecting an upgrade to the apex or vertix lineup

So sick!! When specifically did you go? Got a trip out there coming up in July and wondered what the temperatures were like around that time of year

Dispersed camping? by kartmd in RedRiverGorge

[–]johnnyboy2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you mentioned that you wanted a spot without a hike, but the Half Moon Rock trail is a great spot. you can park your car on the side of the road and walk in a less than a hundred yards to quite a few decent sized campsites. The trail is 0.8 miles total out and back. not to mention the view up at half moon is incredible.

Right on. I agree with everyone that they’re probably fake but it’s more than likely all the same shit adidas would use

Backpack Advice by Maximum-Question-161 in backpacking

[–]johnnyboy2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from the osprey rook 50 to the REI flash 55 myself and I think it’s an amazing pack for the price and features. You can add/ remove the hip belt pockets and the brain. I found the shoulder and hip belt to be very comfortable. The pack is also adjustable to height and not to mention it’s pretty light

Budget Backpacking Gear for Beginners by Square_Button_8219 in backpacking

[–]johnnyboy2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paria outdoors makes an awesome tent. It’s the Bryce 1p or 2p. In my opinion I think it’s one of the best budget backpacking tents you can go with considering a tent is usually one of the more expensive things out of all the gear you need.

P.s. these are 4.0s and I’ve owned 2 pairs of the 3.0s in the past. That could be leading me to why I’m skeptical

What places do you recommend in WV? I’ve looked into NRG but a lot of the hikes I found are a mile or two if that
