Peltor 97086 Tactical 6S Camo Hardwoods Hearing Protector, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a competitive shooter and I have some hearing loss from my time served in the military, so hearing under normal conditions is a problem for me without wearing hearing protection. With normal hearing protectors on I can hear basically nothing.
Using the Peltor 97087's for the first time, I was amazed. I cranked the volume up all the way and could hear better with them on than I could with them off AND they completely muted all loud noises. I could have normal conversations with friends at competitions for the first time!
The fact that they are stereo (have a mic in each earpiece) is a great bonus as well since you can tell exactly where any sound is coming from.
They fit great and are comfortable, shooters and hunters will love these.
Only one minor negative is that you have to remember to turn the microphones off when you finish shooting but that doesn't take long to get used to. The first time you forget should be your last because the batteries will die in a few days. Of course they work great as normal ear protectors without the batteries but you lose the advantage of being able to hear while wearing them.
Advice; Keep a pair of spare batteries in your shooting bag!

Peltor 97043 Tactical 6S Behind the Head Hearing Protector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned a pair of the Peltor 7S headset since the early 1990s and those continue to work extremely well for me. I purchased the 6S thinking I would like the behind the head design & slightly slimmer profile and that I would let my son use the 7Ss.
After a full morning at the range I am returning these and just buying anohter set of 7s.
They do a very poor job of noise suppression. My ears were still uncomfortable with these on regardless of how I had the volume controls set.
They do not work AT ALL with a rifle (at least an AR15 style rifle). The behind-the-ear band prevented me from getting a sight picture through the scope because it pushed against the buttstock of the rifle.
They are inconvenient to pack because they do not fold up.
Wished I would have read the reviewes before purchasing. Glad Amazon is great with returns.

Mechanix Wear MFF-02-012 Fast Fit Glove Red XX-Large Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was given a set of these gloves to evaluate for a magazine story, along with a couple of sets of the regular MW gloves with the wrist straps. I fell in love with all of the wrist strap gloves (the more common style) for all the automotive and hobby farm work I do. The best feature of the MW gloves are the way the fingers are made. They fit better and allow for a better sense of touch and more detailed work than any glove I've ever owned. The other impressive feature about the MW gloves are how long they last. I get out to work as often as possible... nowhere near full time... but I was still wearing out at least two or three sets of hardware store gloves a year. The MW gloves were giving me at least a year. When I finally used up the "free sample" wrist strap gloves, I finally put the Fast Fits to work and found my true "glove love." I'm on and off with my gloves a lot and the straps became a bit of a pain. The Fast Fit gloves come on an off easily but they stay on when you want them to. The perfect compromise for me. I need gloves more than most because I go from being an office worker to a laborer at a moment's notice. I spend most of my time pecking on a computer keyboard and my hands are not tough like they once were. These gloves offer a great fit, extraordinary feel and outstanding wear. My hands are addicted.

Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my 4000 about 4 years ago - since then they may have updated the firmware but it had one nasty bug. If you wanted a continuous plot over time (days lets say) you had to leave the 4000 turned on continuously to gather data. That meant batteries - LOTS of batteries, even though it ran for 3 days on 2 ea AAA cells. It also meant alot of use of the battery door, which has a firm gasket to weatherproof the unit.
In short, the battery door proved to be a weakness - I had an OD and a bright orange unit - both failed on the battery door. Due to the glued up housing design the broken part made the units unrepairable.
Today the 4500 model is available for $35 more and includes many more features, like a compass, and the ability to have the unit power up, take readings, and power down every 30 minutes. So far after 10 days, mine has only used 3% of the batteries taking measurements every 30 minutes for detailed plots of pressure, altimeter, wind speed, and a half dozen other variables.
The 4500 represents the state of the art system which is why I purchased it after destroying two 4000's. You can find the 4500 here:
Kestrel 4500 Pocket Weather Tracker. They also make an OD green version, however the backlight is optimized for night vision goggles which means ordinary eyesight won't see much at all. Unless you are using it with a $4K set of an/pvs-xx goggles then you should buy the yellow cased version which has ample brightness for night use.
