Hello

My name is Owen, I'm 26, from London originally, but I've been living in Leeds for sometime now. in this blog i intend to write equipment reviews, climbing and bicycle gear mostly, as I've been doing these things for pretty much my whole life.

Personally, i hate it when a reviewer simply regurgitates a company's blurb about their product - it's not helpful to the consumer. I want to know how well the product performs under pressure, pushed to breaking point. A magazine based reviewer will have had his pair of bike shoes for about a month, ridden in them three times and then be forced to make his judgement based on this. What happens after six months? How long is that jacket really going to stay waterproof for? You're parting with your hard earned money for this, so you want to get the most you possibly can out of it, so it's no good buying something that is going to fail eight months down the line.

Anyways, i hope you find this content useful, and if you don't, please let me know, as i can't improve if people don't tell me. Full apologies for the quality of my photography in advance!

Thanks
Owen
