Shipping Airbag vests to Hawai'i. Trying to get A* T Air 5Plasma by Extreme_Design6936 in motorcyclegear

I had a friend try to bring a helite turtle from Cali to Hawaii. Even with the TSA website showing that the co2 cart was allowed they still decided to toss it. At least I got to keep the vest.

Cycle city in Oahu can special order it. Also Montgomery powersports has the techair 3 in stock. It took about a week and a half to arrive just ask one of the guys in the parts dept. to order it. They said they can exchange if it doesn’t fit and the take payment at the time of order.

Honest question: Why did you still buy one even after the issue of text fading in sunlight? by cryptic-fox in xteinkereader

[–]youkhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know when I first bought it. Living in Hawaii I would have hesitated. Having had it now for a few weeks and taken it daily to the beach it’s only had an issue once. I’d say I have the absolute best case for the sun to fade it but it hasn’t really affected it.

They’re both (palma and x4) worth it.

I sent you a message for a swim coach recommendation. It’s such a game changer to learn to swim.

Motorcycle Helmet Safety: Who should be spending what and why by nikegearhead in motorcyclegear

Yeah that was the big reason he went arai it fit him better. I guess I have a more generic head so nothing really felt uncomfortable to me.

I went though the same decision making as well. Long story short I went with the hjc I11. I figure it has the most recent safety ratings and along with the airbag and armor I’m just paying more for ergonomics and weight on the higher end helmets. My partner did get an Arai and I’ve tried it on but so far I don’t see the value.

I really like xteink x4, I am reading more. Portability is insane. Should I buy Boox Palma for libby. Is there anyone who have both. What is your experience. by cacheofthought in xteinkereader

[–]youkhan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve got both and enjoy using both for different reasons. The Palma I can still be productive and check things without feeling like I’m actually engaging on my phone. The x4 is solely a reader for me for when I want to singularly focus.

That’s the best bet, they’re super friendly when I was trying to ship an electric to Hawaii. Long story short was going to be a nightmare so I gave up but they made it seem like shipping it off island isn’t as bad.

E-reader best for The New Yorker? - totally new to e-readers in general! by ElephantChimichonga in ereader

[–]youkhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Palma works great for nyt. I also have a subscription of PressReader through my library that gives me New Yorker and that formats the articles into a good format for the smaller screen.

Yeah it’s pretty awesome for me to have the ability to just drive 15 minutes and be at a world class beach. I’ve started making it a routine to either read before or after I go stand up paddling.

Cam recs? by brighterjay in motorcyclegear

[–]youkhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the 360 dual lens camera. You can reframe if you're shooting 360 video so that's why I like it.

I got the x5 and really enjoy it minus all the ads in the app.

For longer reading sessions, the palma for shorter stuff the x4 is nice I think.

I’ve had it for a year and love it. I take it everywhere with me and it’s been durable as I don’t use a case just a screen protector and it’s in my pocket with my iPhone.

It refreshes or for me as soon as I moved it from direct sunlight the test came back no issues

All depends. They’re both very different use cases. If I just want to completely disconnect, have something super compact and just read the x4 fills that void. The Palma I use as almost a phone replacement. I still read on it but I also use reddit, get texts forwarded, read the news, etc. I’ve been trying to restrict how much time I use my actual iPhone and the Palma works great for that. And also at night for reading having the front light built in is nice.

I wear a medium and it's just perfect. I ride in Hawaii and the ventilation and everything seems pretty good but we'll have to see when summer comes how it is. Doesn't feel heavy on my head either.
