I love being able to use a cigarette lighter 12V charger on my work truck to charge the battery."
"Whenever a car battery (or any rechargeable battery) drops below a critical open circuit (no load) voltage (for 12 volt batteries this would be around 11 volts) internal damage begins and if one has a vehicle which drains a battery below this critical voltage (called a parasitic draw) you lose capacity every time a (what i call a destructive discharge) occurs. Under these conditions even a new battery may only last a few months and this applies to any type rechargeable battery Current rechargeable Lithium batteries would fail in one destructive discharge if protective circuits did not shut them off soon enough."

"My son has been in the water at a very early age and wants freedom so that is why I purchased this even though it's technically a little big on him. It is important with relying on any floatation device to know what your child is capable of AND you never leave them unattended by water. My son did not like it at first but we made him feel comfortable and honestly at his age and with his determination it's the only way he can be in our pool at the moment. I purchased this 3 months ago and with regular use and exposed to hot sun drying it has begun fading and the design is coming off."
"I bought this product based on seeing a friend throw a 3 year old into the deep end of a swimming pool while wearing this."
"The other day he fell into the pool and the puddle jumpers brought him right up and onto his back."
"They're easy to put on, my kids (both with sensory processing disorder) don't fight with me when I tell them they have to wear them, and it provides major peace of mind with a child that doesn't know how to swim yet."
"Obviously nothing is a replacement for vigilantly watching children around water but these make it possible for me to introduce my kids safely to the water."
"I think having another child wearing this near by would help if you child also refuses to put it on."

"We did the tour the entire time with the bag, it never got uncomfortable to carry and it was completely dry inside when we were done."
"I am thoroughly happy with this purchase and I urge anyone to buy one especially for hiking, kayaking, or any activity containing the risk of heavy/light rain."
"The ad says you can put a camera in the bag and that is true, but they are talking about a small camera without the camera bag."
"After reading reviews we had a hard time deciding which size would be the best for us so we went ahead and purchased the large bag (30L)."

Growing up in the 70's my mom would not let me grow my hair long, once I got my MBA, well, you know that story,, no long beards and short hair.... Now that I have retired at age 48, now 53, I have left the constraints of corporate life, and have a long beard and long hair. On windy days, jogging or cycling, yoga, or kettlebell, wrenching over my diesel truck's engine, you name it, this band keeps the hair in place, stays in place, is not hot even on hot days, and is thin to ware a cycling helmet over it."
"Every time I wore my paintball mask, after only half a single match, my sweat would saturate the padding on the helmet, and inevitably begin running into my eyes."
"I have thin straight hair so this doesn't stay in place like it could if I had thicker or more textured hair. I still think thicker hair will help or curlier hair,but it has worked well for me."
"So far it's keeping sweat from going on my face and eyes, summer is coming soon so we'll see how that goes but for such a thin material it really holds some liquid."
"My head gets very sweaty when I'm working and this Temple Tape headband really absorbs the moisture and wicks it away."
"Temple tape really works."
"Love this sweatband, I use it primarily while I work out but I've worn it a few times while riding my motorcycle and I love it."

"I had read good reviews and had heard that it was a good item to have on extended trips but I did not realize how much so until after a few hours on the river."
"While I'm not sure the lumbar pad will make the seat more comfortable, it can't hurt & I applaud the manufacturer's efforts to improve the product. My originals are basic black and the muted forest green on these is a better outdoor fit."
"I think some improvement could be had on the 2 diagonal straps (shown in stock photo) that adjust the seat back angle."
"While it was close, unlike other reviewers I had no trouble with the width of the seat nor the length of the straps in the rear seat of the canoe. The split seat design fit well with the molded seat of the canoe, and the back pocket was handy for our river map."
"I like this seat much better than those without a frame."
"I love the ability to adjust the seat angle - you can have it vertical for long distance paddling (which promotes sitting up straighter and maintaining better posture for your lower back), can lay it down so it is almost horizontal (completely out of the way if needed), or any angle in between (like 45 degrees so can lean back, stretch out, and relax for a bit)."
"The stitching popped and came undone on the bottoms which made the seat unstable and caused it to flex and slide a lot."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this bc it's weight capacity says 400lbs, & I figured it would be a perfect way to figure out if I wanted to, would enjoy or could use a hard shell kayak, without spending $500+ So I'll start with set up- relatively simple. I put mine in at a boat launch on a very slow moving river, which ended up being very helpful bc of the incline of the ramp. Since its inflatable, and somewhat flexible I was able to get my leg over it and adjust my position while straddling it and standing in the water. Since the middle sunk slightly, both the front and back end, were lifted out of the water a bit. I'm top heavy, my chest gets in the way slightly, and so does my belly, however I am able to sit up right on the floor with my legs together, in front of me, but it's not terribly comfy. I ended up sitting with my legs straight out but open with my feet slightly hanging off. When I returned to the ramp I found it slightly difficult at first to exit the kayak. I'd say it's more like 300lb person max, with 25lbs of gear split between the front & back ends to balance the weight out a bit."
"My kayak arrived 2 days after order and I had a planned to head to the lake with a friend to try it out immediately. I ordered new paddles before my kayak arrived because of so many other reviewers reporting how crappy the ones are that come with the kayak and I must agree on that point. It was easy and quick to inflate but I have yet to figure out the back pack which also is the back support, The kayak fully inflated is very light and easy to transfer from the car to the lake area. It takes a while to balance and paddle at the same time as it does not track as well as a hard shell kayak but I got into a great rhythm and figured out how far to place the paddles in the water to maintain my stride and balance."
"(I use my old paddle instead, which works far better). I found a neat way to carry the boat is to push the paddle under the triangle bungee tree on the bow and hook the back of the paddle under the seat straps. You just lift the whole thing up with one hand and carry it away!"
"The boat itself is just great- it's durable, lightweight, very stable, and comfortable (way more comfortable that any hard kayak I've been in). I have had the larger Sevylor 2-person kayak for about 3 years and am still enjoying it, got this one to add to the fleet and for solo missions."

"We traversed lava tubes & lava fields and waterfalls, explored beaches, snorkeled and walked miles on sidewalks in towns and had not one single problem with these shoes. They dried sitting out in our condo & were completely ready the next morning, even though my husband's & son's Body Glove shoes were not."
"Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but they did out perform the water shoes of the rest of the group on my last adventure. I have used mine countless times and after rinsing them off with a hose and leaving them in the sun to dry, they look like new again. The few people who tried to wear calf high boots were limited on where they could travel and were left to struggle through brambles to keep up."
"I was in the deep end of pool and these did not feel they were moving around on my feet like other water shoes I've worn in the past (namely Speedo)."

"I have Plantar Fasciitis in Both Feet and now Bone Burs in my Left Heel. So after trying store bought Orthopedic inserts and having two rounds of Cortisone Shots in both Heels.....The pain kept coming back. I am not sure if its the thick padding at the heel or the good arch support....or both."
"They're really comfortable, as in squishy, but really provide no support, and they have the rubberized shoe problem of sticking to the floor and causing "Crock walk" tripping, as would occur with the other rubber shoes."
"I purchased these slide sandals because I have a heel spur related to plantar fasciitis on my right foot, and I saw that other customers found the arch support they needed along with the softness and heel support."
"The only downfall is the fact they are a rubber type foam and they do make my feet sweat, especially on the top."
"Just moved those to the travel trailer and bought a new pair for the house."
"Bought these for a vacation in Italy - lots of walking so I wanted some "comfy shoes" for when my feet got really tired."
"I can push my foot into shoe but the shoe will push it back out. It pushes my foot way back until my heel is no longer striking the indented portion of heel area but it is now on the hard edge of heel area and it hurts."
