From time to time we get behind on our testing and reviews, when this happens we take a few days away from the site to get out and hit the streets and trails to catch up, so if you’re guessing that’s what’s happening now… You’d be right. New testing is in progress as of this past Tuesday and we’ll be back Tuesday September 7th with all new product features and reviews. See you then! NC

On this day we remember all those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
