TriTurtle · gear for an active life

Not for the pros.
For the rest of us.

Reviews of the gear for an active life, running, hiking, biking, the water, the slopes, travel, or just being outside. I'm in it for me, and the only expectations I have to meet are my own. I buy it, use it, and tell you what earns its place and what does not. I try it so you don't have to.

I tried it so you don't have to

The truth about whether it was worth the money

Every review is the real verdict, including the stuff that was a waste. No hype, no gurus, no affiliate cheerleading. Just what held up, what chafed, and what is worth your money, tested by someone who will research a thirty-dollar foam roller for four hours so your four hours stay yours.

The SPIbelt

A tiny belt that carries your whole life and does not bounce. The one I went looking for a knife and found instead.

Soon

Running shoes worth the money

The ones that actually hold up, mile after everyday mile.

Soon

Travel and everyday carry

The bag, the belt, the little things that make a trip easier.

Soon

Recovery, the unglamorous stuff

Massage guns, compression, sleep, and staying in one piece.
