Advantages: Lightweight & looks great ! Lance wears one ! Disadvantages: Expensive
...confirm that there's a lot of ventilation and look forward to using it in the summer - Watch this space for an update...
In-mould Carbon Reinforcment ("I.C.R") inserts not only look fantastic, but with the "advanced internal Roll Cage" add extra reinforcement without excess bulk or weight (total weight = 270 grams). Even at this light weight, the 2006 Atmos meets the CE EN1078 safety certification, so you can be confident that should you fall off, this helmet will protect you.
A good-fitting helmet will be snug, but not tight, and should sit level on your head (not tilted back) with the front edge no more than 1 inch above your eyebrows. The Atmos's "RocLoc 4" adjustment at the back allows you to tune the fit exactly with both lateral and vertical adjustment. You can also adjust the straps so the buckle is just under your chin...

...Why A Headlamp?
The wearer of a head-torch is never going to win any style awards - in fact you end up looking like a ridiculous cross between Rambo and a Dalek. Yet, the benefits headlamps provide far outweigh any self-consciousness or ridicule they attract. The most obvious plus is that, unlike with a normal torch, you are left with both hands free, and there is no need to sandwich it between your knees or under your chin when dexterity is required. Headlamps also follow your head movements, so wherever your eyes fall is automatically illuminated. The best aspect for the outdoor adventurer or traveller is that head-torches are light, compact and remarkably simple to pack.

Advantages: Cheap, good quality easy to use Disadvantages: instructions
...I recently purchase a York Chinning Bar for a small £7.99 from Argos with the full intention of doing daily pull ups in the comfort of my home.
The first thing you have to say about it is that its as cheap as anything for anyone who wishes to get fit. The second is that before you buy it have to admit to yourself that if there is no pain then there is no gain.
The bar fits in to your standard door frame and comes adjustable to fit various sizes. Me being me read that it stretched to 108 cm, measured my door and realised the bar was more than big enough. It wasn't until I got home that I found that my door was actually to small. However, my plan changed and I just moved it to another room, but be sure to check the sizes first.
The chinning bar comes well packed with a few basic sit up instructions on the side of the box in what...

I bought this head torch for a round the world tour this year and it held up wonderfully. At first it seems a very expensive product and in many respects it is - you are lucky to get it for less than $100 or 50 quid. However within a few weeks of using... more
