Cooler Than a Snuggie! by criteeker Pros: very soft fleece, shows my team spirit
Cons: very thin fleece could damage easily When watching our favorite sport (Hockey), whether at the rink or on the couch on a cold evening, this lightweight fleece blanket/throw is just the ticket. "Snuggies" may be blankets with sleeves, but this blanket is much higher on the cool-factor scale. ...

Eagle Claw Jig Double Eye Hook Black 1/16 Ounce by toiletoctopus Pros: Made in USA, Crappie love them, Easy to attach minnows to
Cons: The yellow ones seem a bit more effective I want to get crappie. If that doesn't sound right to you, then perhaps you need to spend some time fishing. There is no better panfish to eat, then the fish with the worst name possible. What a beautiful species it is as well, from an appearance vantage ...

Wiffle Ball Bat: Get Your Little One Swinging Away by toiletoctopus Pros: Bright Yellow, Decent Enough Plastic, The "Wiffle Swing Sound", Cheap
Cons: Not a professional bat, Won't last for more than a year My son will be four this summer, but its never too early, to teach him about baseball. He still has a long ways to go, to being the major league player, that I envision him being. That of course, is a joke, but I do hope that he will love the sport I ...

Ping G25 Hybrid--Ping's Best Hybrid Yet by berniez40 Pros: Well balanced, very long, extremely versatile, no balloon shots
Cons: Not as workable as its Sibling Anser Hybrid, nor as easy to hit line-drives with This is the first year I’ve ever been a real fan of Ping Hybrids. Try as I might to like them, I’ve always found better performance from the likes of Nickent, Adams, and Cobra. Ping hybrids, similar to Nikes, always seemed to be in the midst ...

Cold Fingers Suck: Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gel Gloves Extend Your Riding Season by scmrak Pros: water-resistant, windproof, well-padded, well-thought-out design
Cons: fingers need to be longer To be honest, cold fingers suck. Those first (and last) rides of the season are way more fun if your digits aren’t too stiff to twiddle the shift levers and caress the brakes. Even the most perfectly-designed half-finger cycling gloves come up ...

Cons: Balance is middling, No sense of cling at impact, and forgiveness is lacking. More Than Just A Little History It’s not that I am actually biased against TaylorMade products, but I failed to see the justification to the hype that this driver seems to be getting. I bagged a Spider Vicino Putter for years, and ...

Bike Storage Stand That Could Stand Some Improvement by glen22 Pros: Made in USA
Holds bikes securely Cons: Design largely limited to diamond-type frames Heavy bikes may overstress mounting arms. After acquiring more bicycles I needed a place to store them safely indoors.

Eagle Claw Jig Ball Double Eye Hook Black 1/32 Ounce by toiletoctopus Pros: Good hook for live bait, Durable, Easy to Use
Cons: Too light, Only the most aggressive/hungry panfish will hit without sinkers Its time for the Crappie to be biting. That would be if it wasn't this years weather pattern. While I do believe this will be the case in about two weeks, today we just got another two inches of snow. That is odd in Virginia, as March is when "nature's ...
