Proflex Race Titanium

Advantages: If it suits you it's light, comfy and looks great
Disadvantages: if it doesn't riding 10 miles will feel like 1000

...Well I have three of these on my bikes so I obviously fall into the catogory of someone whose shape suits this saddle. This is definitely a saddle for racing bikes either on road or off. There are compromises in the design:- Could be lighter Could be more comfy Could be cheaper It isn't but it is very good at what it does. The best way to look at the compromises is to compare the Flite to other saddles that are lighter/more comfy/cheaper. Any lighter and the saddles start to become either prohibitivly more expensive or like a razer blade to sit on or both of these. More comfy like a Rolls for instance and the weight penalty will be 2 or 3 times the Flites weight. The cost for a performance racing part (with titanium seat rails) is more than acceptable, cheaper definitly means heavier in this case. The titanium rails of course... Read review

Advantages: Extreme Performance!
Disadvantages: Demands to be worked hard, not for lazy cruising, pricey

...The Atomic Beta Rides fall into a new category (yes, another one!!) of skis for this year: "Free Ride". Free Rides are a cross between specialty powder skis and free carve skis. The shovel/tip end of the ski is very wide whilst the the waist is narrower than that of powder skis, giving them better performance on groomed runs. These skis will let you go and have fun all over the mountain. The Atomics are one of the very best of this bunch of skis. It lets you attack the off piste powder as well as go very fast down the groomers too. For specs, well it's bright orange, but that doesn't really affect much expect the looks you'll get in the line at the lifts!! It has Atomic's Power Channel technology which pre flexes the ski to give a quicker rsponse in short turns. It has a 17mm carving plate and titanium is used to reduce the weight... Read review

Advantages: cheap and good for the summer
Disadvantages: Not good for winter

...The gul titanium 2 full suit wet suit is very good for the summer. Its lets in water because it has a overlock stitch but that doesn't matter for the summer. I would say even on the coldest summer days I could stay out in the sea for about 2 hours before I really start to feel the cold. This wet suit is so good because of its price at only £40 that's better then buying one for a couple hundred. I brought it a surf shop in Hayle called down the line which is a good shop. I would never wear this wet suit in the winter though it is just to thin at about 2mm. It isn't the best quality wet suit you could buy but what do you expect. I would reckon mend this wetsuit to anyone.... Read review
