Re: Simms Challenges the Notion Gore-Tex Is the Only Viable Rain Fabric

Hmm, have you tested anything for rain up to say 80 degrees, with shorts underneath? Nothing worse then having a summer storm roll in and your choices are get wet or sweat.

spot on on the handles. Seems like the handles should be reversed or why not provide both like the abu and quantum competition does?

Re: Abu Garcia's Unicorn : The REVO Toro Beast!!

So does the Toro S model rate better or worse? It only has a single braking system which you put having two as a negative for the toro beast.

Re: Is the Native Watercraft "Ultimate 12" Fishing Kayak ...
