Elan Rental

Advantages: Comfortable and durable
Disadvantages: unsensative, loose fitting, shallow heal

...This sturdy velcro shoe has become very popular as a first shoe and rental model. Its quick, secure closure and thick sole and rand make for a durable, comfortable, and allround boot. The Veloce is a very convenient gym or crag shoe with its two opposed velcro closures and double pull tabs making it very fast to put on. However its strongest point is its durability; the uppers are suede and the rand is super thick. Countless gyms have a fleet of Velcose as their rental range for this reason, they outlast most other similarly prices models. Ofcourse being to flat and slightly unsensative, this is not a shoe for the experienced climber. However as a first climbing shoe, its very hard to beat; functional, cheap and long lasting....

Advantages: Great for progressing from basic principals in the park and on the piste.
Disadvantages: Not as durable as one might expect from a beginner's board.

...I bought this board two seasons ago as an upgrade from the rental gear i was previously used to. As a beginner i found this board met all my needs, Atomic's edges helping me feel secure in my turns and confident to try everything a little faster than before. As i progressed i found the board to be light and flexible enough to try a few tricks, namely hurling-self-into-powder air as it's commonly known. It's been classified as a freestyle board pretty much every where i've seen it but i found that it rides well all over the mountain, piste, park, powder and most importantly the lift queue. I've managed to damage the tail edge a little, not sure if it was due to my mistreatment or just low durablility but the damage is superfical and doesnt effect the performance at all.... Read review

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: Barrel

...On the one hand if you are Sunday paintball player it is quite nice gun for playing in woods or even one field, it is very reliable, mostly it wont chop paintballs, if you wont fire too fast. Another advantage for this gun is chance to improve it or customize it, you can add a lot of parts to make this gun just best for you. For the first time i tried Tippmann 98 in playing Rookie league in Latvia, it was quiet OK as i was playing Front men, but for back men it was death. it was very har to hit tha target. With all thease advantages it is bets gun for rental, because it will work great with newbies, but to own this gun probably you should buy another barrel. Weight of gun is OK ang hoding is OK too, if its not same to you you will be able to customize it as you want. You must know it will be harder to clean Tippmann 98 than the any... Read review
