GORUCK Spearhead Web Belt Review

March 22, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on GORUCK Spearhead Web Belt Review

Let’s take an in-depth look at the GORUCK Spearhead Web Belt. Why are we reviewing this belt? It’s a nice belt, but expensive. So you probably want to take a careful look at it before you buy. Here’s some of the styles we are going to look at: GORUCK Spearhead Web Belt – Overview The GORUCK Spearhead Web Belt is a Grip6 belt. It provides a minimalist look with extreme durability. Ever had a belt break? Yep – it happens. And the more complicated the belt, the more likely it’s going to fail when you need it. It’s a web belt, so it is low profile. Itlies down flat and won’t protrude out from the pants or dig into your skin. This uses the Grip6 patented no-slip locking mechanism to keep the belt in place all day long. (NOTE: The belt does tend to slide around a bit, at least in our testing – meaning you’ll notice after a while the buckle is off to the left or right, but this is purely aesthetic. The belt stays as tight (or [Read more …]

GORUCK American Training Shirt Review – Video Review on our YouTube Channel Why read when you can watch? Check out this video from our YouTube channel: (Coming Soon) GORUCK American Training Shirt Review – Overview First of all, let’s talk about the fit and cut. This shirt is cut for an athletic fit with short sleeves. I don’t want long baggy sleeves on a workout shirt, but short sleeves sometimes ride up too. The sleeves on this shirt do tend to ride up a bit, and if you are rucking with a GR1 rucksack or similar, this can lead to some abrasion from those tough straps – but you can just [Read more …]

GORUCK Simple Shorts Review

August 10, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on GORUCK Simple Shorts Review

Here’s our GORUCK Simple Shorts review. What are Simple Shorts? They look like regular formal shorts (with pockets and belt loops) – but they are actually a very different sort of apparel. Simple Shorts are lightweight, comfortable, tough, and made for physical activity. These are shorts are meant for physical fitness – like a GORUCK challenge event – or just about anything else. By the way, if you don’t know what “rucking” is, it’s simply walking or hiking with a loaded backpack – it’s a great workout and the loaded rucksack brings your upper body into play. But given that these are cut like formal shorts (and therefore have pockets and belt loops) means these are very versatile shorts you can wear in many different situations. (As compared to athletic shorts – which aren’t appropriate in most places outside of the gym). We’re going to tell you more in depth, here’s the styles available now from GORUCK: We’re going to use a lot of GORUCK supplied photos here – because it is hard to take good custom pictures of shorts.

Athletic Socks for CrossFit Review

December 28, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on Athletic Socks for CrossFit Review

Let’s review the best athletic sock for CrossFit. This is going to be a review of athletic and running socks. But, before you hit the back button – give it a chance. I’m the person that always bought cheap socks. Whatever was cheap and available in a 12 pack – and usually $20 or less. But after I started testing real athletic socks intensively – I found out all the benefits of a comfortable, performance sock that fits right. So ditch those Costco socks and look at these options for the CrossFit WOD (or any other workout, really): Let’s review these socks! Athletic Sock vs Running Sock – Is there a Difference? First of all, let’s define what an athletic sock is? And, is this the same thing as a running sock? There is some overlap, and the line between the two is blurry, for sure. Here are the key differences. Athletic socks are for general workout and physical activity (like exercise). Athletic socks are light-weight, breathable, and usually have a mild compression effect. They have a stretchy, comfortable fit. [Read more …]

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Women’s UA Meridian Joggers

The UA Meridian line of performance wear is great – let’s look at the newest addition, the Women’s UA Meridian Joggers. What’s a “jogger”? This is a soft, cozy workout pant with a generous, relaxed fit. Why a jogger in the gym? Comfort – and no restrictions on your movement. This is also a little more modest option than tight fitting leggings or tights. But, no matter what reason you choose them for, we’re sure you’ll like them. These are hot – get them now at Under Armour.com (We are an affiliate): Let’s take a look at these joggers. Women’s UA Meridian Joggers – Overview These are from UA’s Meridian line – so they use a super-nice knit fabric. It’s made from 83% nylon and 17% Elastane (aka spandex) – so these are super comfy.

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Women’s UA Meridian Crop – Cropped Workout Legging

The UA Meridian line of performance wear is great – let’s look at the newest addition, the Women’s UA Meridian Crop. What’s a “crop”? It’s like a Capri, basically. Capris are cropped pants where the leg ends just above the ankle. They can help keep you cooler – and they are a trendy look right now (and for the future.) Just remember that they tend to “shorten” your legs – so they can be somewhat unflattering on the wrong physique.

GORUCK TAC Hat Review – Rucking Hat

February 23, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on GORUCK TAC Hat Review – Rucking Hat

Here’s our review of the GORUCK TAC Hat. Yep, it’s a hat. But seriously – this is a good hat you may want to pick up. We’ll explain further here. This is a tactical hat – so that means it is basically a baseball cap with a velcro patch area up front. But there’s more to talk about, so read on. Here’s some of the things we’ll be looking at in this GORUCK TAC hat review, including accessories: All right, let’s take a look. GORUCK TAC Hat – it’s a Tactical Hat First off, let’s discuss what a tactical hat is. It’s a baseball cap – but it has a hook and loop (velcro) area up front for patches. Why patches? Well, you can identify yourself or show a bit of style. Some tactical hats have velcro up front, and in the back – but not this one, it’s front only. That’s ok to me, because the front is all I need. As you can see from this side view, the hat is made from 6 separate panels. But, there [Read more …]
