Predator Prowess
Review of Adidas Predator Precision by
Havling
Advantages: Very Sleek, Very Comfortable, Improved Performance
Disadvantages: Price,
...The new Adidas Predator are quite simply brilliant!
Having owned the previous Predator Boots which I thought were outstanding, the new 'model' eclipses all that have went before them!
In short, the Predator Boots increase your performance on the pitch, which is where it matters, and as an added bonus, they also make you look the part!
For those of you who are not familiar with the Predator brand, here's what makes them tick....
The Sole
The sole of the boot consists of blades moulded out of plastic, and configured to get the most grip on any surface. There are two configurations on sale, one for playing on hard pitches, and one for the winter months which optimises grip for playing in the mud. These blades are FIFA approved and Adidas call them the Traxion System.
The Leather
As you would expect, the genuine...

Review of Adidas Predator Rapier Traxion by

Advantages: The best boot for curling a football and one touch control.
Disadvantages: The pads on the flat of the foot wear down if you use them too much.
...The Rapier Traxion was at one time the best adidas football boot going. We all know that Becks has scored a few free kicks with them when he wore them. The day i bought my predators i was so happy you would have thought it was Christmas. Yet still it dented my pocket severly. But at £90 when i bought them, i didnt care. I had a pair of predators.

If your a good passer of the ball the Predator Rapier t's are outstanding because you can play with your curl of the ball and notice the results straight away. This is because of the positioning of the pads on the front of the boot.

Vango Predator 450
Review of Vango 400 Predator by
chriscookson
Advantages: Warm, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size
...The Vango Predator 450 is a flagship synthetic bag packed with features to make this one of the best bags proving plenty of bang, for your buck.
"The Predator range of sleeping bags is designed for use at the extreme limit. Available in mummy or square. Predators will be used by experienced campers, mountaineers and expedition members who will only use the highest performance sleeping bag suitable for the most hostile environments. Highly compressible Dupont Thermolite Extra is used in conjunction with Thermolite Micro for the ultimate warmth to weight ratio."
As stated this bag is for use in slightly more 'wild' conditions, where some down bags would provide to much heat and most synthetic bags wouldnt provide enough. Although this bag has the disadvantage with most synthetic bags, the size, it does hold most of the properties...
