    Sunglasses

    Try on some Maui Jim’s or Oakley’s or go to REI-after all what are your eyes worth?! UV protection and glare management is NOT remotely comparable for $35-70.00. UV protection in cheap sunglasses is quite questionable. Ask an eye doctor. The good ones come WITH a hard case. Next add carabiner to...

    Tips for Choosing Comfortable Ear Plugs

    Wow! a ‘respirational’ discussion indeed. Best comment- “Even with a short afternoon siesta nap I am always dog tired when I hit the rack around 10:00 pm on the Camino” Bluetooth disrupts REM sleep. Me? I brought foam plugs - never used ‘‘em once… best solution I found that worked- a extra...
