Commutergear review of Scottvest Essential Men’s Jacket:

Scottvest xray jacket

This Scottevest Essential Jacket Men’s is what most savy travelers are using these days. With all that gear you carry around with you, like your phone, mp3 player, blue tooth, sunglasses..etc. Not to mention your wallet, keys, passport…etc. This jacket takes up little space, but gives you the versatility and functionality that you need when you are on the go.
They also make these for the ladies, Scottevest Travel Vest Women’s as well as pants and hoodies.

The Essential Jacket is made of a lightweight and extraordinarily comfortable brushed cotton blend. It almost feels like you arent wearing anything! You can even control your iPod® through the thin fabric, which is breathable and Teflon treated to repel water and stains. Take advantage of the zip-off sleeves and wear it as a vest, too. Two great layers for the price of one! 65% Cotton/35% Nylon (Teflon® treated) with silky lining. Machine Washable.

Axiom Typhoon Rear Pannier Set

Gear — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:17:53 +0000

Commutergear review of the Axiom Typhoon Rear Pannier Set:

These are the panniers I personally use every day when riding to work. (and yes, I ride in the rain) I love these panniers. They are constructed from a heavy seam sealed fabric and attach to my rack easily. They attach to your rack by 2 hooks and heavy bungee type cord system. They don’t fall off due to a locking mechanism that when turned, cinches the hooks to your rack. Under the flap, you will find a mesh zippered compartment, then a roll-top enclosure for the main compartment. There are no internal dividers so you may place large o small items inside. I often place my laptop inside a cushioned sleeve and then place in one bag along with some other odds and ends. I use the other pannier for my work shoes, socks and slacks. I have ridden in some bad rain down pours and have never had any water seepage. These bags are well constructed and trust them in any environment. When looking at cycling gear, I always look for good, durable, waterproof construction. These panniers have met my expectations for about a year now. I know they work.

Part of Axiom’s StormFront series, the Typhoon is a waterproof bag that features welded seams and a roll down closure to keep inclement weather out.

Fully waterproof welded tarpaulin and 600D polyester
Posi-Lock attachment system secures luggage to rack even on rough roads; extra hardware included
Roll-down closure for foolproof weather protection
Top flap has waterproof pocket on outside, mesh tool pocket on inside
Reflective logos and tabs for improved visibility
Sold in pairs
The high level fabric used in all Axiom bags has exceptionally low off-gassing characteristics (open up a bag and you notice it doesn’t smell like plastic or chemicals!) that exceed even European standards

Commutergear review of the WaterGuard Waterproof iPad Sleeve:

The WaterGuard Waterproof Case guards against any wet environment that iPad might be exposed to. It is a perfect companion when when you use your iPad at the beach, near the pool side, in the bathtub or at the kitchen table. It provides great protection when you get stuck in a rainstorm or accidentally drop you bag on a wet surface. When using the WaterGuard case, the iPad can be slipped directly into the WaterGuard pocket and the transparent surface provides easy interaction with the keyboard and navigation interface.

Timbuk2 D-Lux Laptop Messenger Bag

Gear — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:26:19 +0000

Commutergear review of Timbuk2 D-Lux Laptop Messenger Bag:

Timbuk2 incorporated a ton of user feedback into the D-Lux racing stripe messenger bag to create a laptop bag that works with and without your machine. Essentially a massively upgraded version of the Classic messenger bag, the D-Lux offers plenty of storage, with a large main compartment, a Napoleon side-entry pocket that lets you grab your cash and keys without opening the messenger flap, and a color-coordinated front organizer for storing gadgets, gizmos, and other weird stuff. The bag also includes a slim, studded laptop sleeve that protects computers up to 19 inches (large size). And cyclists will love the racing stripe, which puts a little vroom in your messenger.

Another way that Timbuk2 improved on the Classic was by redesigning the Velcro placement along the top of the messenger flap and sides of the front panel. This new Velcro location makes the bag easier to open, and also helps reduce the much-hated sweater pilling caused by unwanted Velcro contact. Timbuk2 also added a memory-adjust True Fit cam buckle that eliminates daily fit adjustments. Just unclick the cam, put the bag over your shoulder, and lock the cam back in for a perfect fit every time. Other features include a durable ballistic nylon exterior, a waterproof TPU liner, compression straps on the bottom of the messenger, and a coordinating strap pad. Available in three sizes, the D-Lux messenger bag carries a lifetime warranty.

FACT: Some bags may have blemishes such as: tier repairs, text and text imprints.

With a separate compartment for paper files or a notebook computer, this bag will help keep you organized at the coffee shop or at the office.

MATERIALS USED: Alchemy Goods bags are, quite literally, recycled.

They’re waterproof and the durable rubber exterior won’t easily stain. These are amazing, strong bags that you will be proud to own. To prove it, this page will take you through the process of how we make your messenger bag, from junk to funk. Check out the Alchemy Goods logo. There’s a numeral in the upper right hand corner. It’s a tiny number with big significance, since it represents the percent of recycled materials, by weight, of your bag. The number varies by product, depending on the make-up.

CREE X-Tactical

Commutergear review of CREE X-Tactical Flashlight:

Blind yourself with this! (Please do not actually blind yourself) This is not one of those little keychain flashlights that last for a week. This is the CREE X-Tactical ATE0C2L007 Ultra-Bright CREE LED Tactical Aluminum Flashlight. The secret to this flashlight is the crazy bright CREE LED Emitter. This flashlight is toted to output a whopping 235 lumens. I have a few flashlights similiar to this, but none beats this price per power output. I use one on my commuter bike and have another for backup. Great for camping, fixing a flat tire on the side of the road, or to just know you have light in an emergency. The flashlight takes 2 CR123a Batteries which are becoming more and more popular. I would recommend picking up some extra batteries and a charger while you are placing an order.

Newest X-Tactical XR-E CREE LED flashlight with 235 lumens of brightness, with 4 different settings

Normal light operation with LED dimming control, quick flashing, SOS flashing, and a tactical mode

Built-in LED battery indicator to show you the percentage of the battery life

It has simple tail tactical switch click on and click off, with a dial to switch between settings

High quality solid state DC-DC regulated circuit (other are DC-AC-DC non-regulated) maintain maximum
