Moving Comfort Fiona                                    

Best sports bra overall

Pros

• Highly adjustable
• Available in many sizes
• Good for high-impact activities
• Easy to put on

Cons

• Inadequate nipple coverage
• Band, straps may irritate skin                                                                                           
  

  Bottom line

  Versatile and supportive, the Moving Comfort Fiona is equally at home in the yoga studio or on the treadmill, reviewers say. Beloved for its cushioned, adjustable straps and closure, the Fiona keeps bounce to a minimum with its compression and lightly molded, seamless cups. But some reviewers find the band or straps irritating, and others say the bra doesn't dim headlights enough for solo wear.
  

  Comfort

  Velcro, chest band irritate some. Made of 88 percent DriLayer polyester and 12 percent Spandex, the Moving Comfort Fiona offers solid moisture-wicking, reviewers say. Seam-free cups reduce the potential for chafing, and few reviewers report problems on that front. The wide straps do not cross or meet in the back as on many sports bras, but are easily adjustable with Velcro closures in the front. A handful of women say the Velcro irritates their skin, however. Some complain the wide chest band can start to twist and curl uncomfortably. The hook-and-eye closure on the back of the bra means wearers don't have to struggle to pull the bra on overhead, which many women appreciate.
  

  Support

  High-impact support for D cups and below. The Moving Comfort Fiona combines compression and encapsulation support. The bra is a favorite for high-impact workouts, including running, aerobics and cross-training. An expert notes that the adjustable straps allow wearers to tighten or loosen the bra as needed, customizing support for every activity. Moving Comfort recommends the Fiona for B to DD cups, and most users agree that it minimizes bounce for large busts. However, some DD-cup reviewers recommend bras with deeper cups to better support each breast. Offered in 29 sizes from 30 B to 44 DD, the Fiona makes it easy to find a comfortable, supportive fit.
  

  Style

  Nipple coverage may be an issue. The Moving Comfort Fiona has a slightly scooped neckline and an open back. Reviewers are divided on the style -- some find it attractive, while others say it's a bit utilitarian-looking, especially compared to bras featuring racerbacks, keyholes and the like. Several women warn that the slightly molded cups don't provide enough coverage to keep their nipples from showing, making the Fiona a less than ideal option for going shirtless. Moving Comfort offers about a half-dozen vibrant colors on its website, but there are several more color options elsewhere on the web, including two-tone designs with contrasting straps or bands.  Also for Direct Access to Brand Name Products&Services like this one  Visit our Website at  http://ebuys-onlineproducts-services.weebly.com

Anker 2nd Gen Astro3                                      

Best portable charger

Pros

• Powerful and lightweight
• Charges three devices simultaneously
• Standby doesn't drain battery

Cons

• Can't use while recharging
• Takes about 10 hours to recharge                                                                                      
  

  Bottom line

  Anker's 2nd Gen Astro3 is the successor to its wildly popular Astro3E. It boasts more power (12,000 mAh as opposed to the 3E's 10,000) and powers up to three devices at once.
  

  Design

  Smart port; smart design. Anker's 2nd Gen Astro3 offers a wallop of power (12,000 mAh battery) in a small package. Astro3 isn't the lightest, smallest or trendiest on the market -- it comes in black or white, weighs less than a pound and is about the size of a dense smartphone -- but reviewers rave about its triple-port design, including a smart port that can identify your devices and ensures they're charging at full speed. (For example, Apple and Android devices tend to require different levels of power.) Three devices can be charged at once. The battery includes a 10-point LED indicator, which gives more detail on the battery's status than competitors' indicators that use colors or fewer lights. Instead of an on/off button, the Astro3 can be shaken awake. It also includes a micro USB cable.
  

  Performance

  Charges tablets and phones, with room to spare. The Anker Astro3 is powerful enough to charge multiple devices at once. All three of its ports are compatible with a plethora of Apple and Android devices. PhoneArena.com reports that the Astro3 gave six full charges to an iPhone 5s and four charges to other smartphones in its tests. One Amazon.com user found it could fully charge an iPad 2 and still have some power left; a travel blogger reports it could simultaneously charge an iPad, Android tablet and iPhone. Gizmag.com notes that the maximum charge on the universal ports (1.5 Amp) is designed for Androids, so iPhone users seeking the fastest charge should use the smart port. The Astro3 can't be used while it's being recharged, however, and its battery takes about 10 hours to fill up.

Hiking Boots: Reviewed!

  

Moab Merrell Ventilator                                  

Best Lightweight Hiking Boots/Shoes

Pros

• Very lightweight
• Well ventilated
• Excellent traction

Cons

• Flimsy insole
• Heel padding breaks down
• Outsole wears relatively fast                                                                                             
  

  Bottom Line

  The lightweight, comfortable Merrell Moab Ventilator is very popular with reviewers who like to take day hikes and short backpacking trips. This shoe's comfort, support and extreme breathability are its biggest selling points. It's also available as a mid-cut boot (*MSRP $100) and a waterproof shoe that's not so breathable (*MSRP $110).
  

  Fit and Comfort

  Runs a half-size small. Comfort and a surprising amount of support are two of the Merrell Moab Ventilator's high points; reviewers say if you want a lightweight shoe that's comfortable right out of the box, this is it. It runs about a half-size small and has a roomy toebox, which leaves a few narrow-footed users cold. However, those with wide feet, bunions or Morton's neuroma are pleased.
  That said, even a few owners with narrow feet say they can achieve a decent fit. "When I cinch the laces as tight as possible, they work great," writes one. The laces are a sore point for others because they become untied frequently. Some users solve the problem by replacing the laces as well as the "flimsy" insole. A few scattered complaints about toes jamming against the front of the shoe when hiking downhill appear to be largely due to sizing issues.
  The only other downside as far as comfort and fit are concerned is what one Backcountry.com customer describes as "a slight tendency for the tongue gussets to roll and create a pressure point." He says you can avoid this by spreading the tongue gussets as you tie the shoe. Complaints like this are just a drop in the bucket compared to the near-constant praise for the Moab Ventilator's comfort, even on rocky terrain and other hard surfaces.
  

  Performance

  Built to breathe. The Merrell Moab Ventilator's breathability -- thanks to mesh vents spaced around the shoe -- is another major selling point. Countless users say this shoe keeps their normally sweaty feet nice and dry. The vents mean you'll get wet if you step in water, but Chris McNamara of OutdoorGearLab.com reports that the Moab Ventilator dries the fastest of the dozen boots they test. And users say that even when the Ventilator's wet, it doesn't feel squishy underfoot.
  In a video review, McNamara points out another drawback to the Merrell's breathability and light construction: Sticks can poke through the upper when hiking in heavy brush. On the upside, Dan A. Nelson writes in The Seattle Times that his testers say the Ventilator's "soft rubber Vibram outsole sticks to nearly any trail surface." Only snow presents problems.
  Owners experience great traction on most surfaces, but like many hiking boots/shoes, the Ventilators slip on wet rock. A number of users say on Amazon.com that the only thing keeping these shoes from perfection is their tendency to slip on wet surfaces. Others disagree: "I got caught in a downpour with large hail over a very rocky terrain and the traction over wet rock was amazing," notes one woman at REI.com.
  

  Durability

  Prone to wearing out quickly. Light hiking shoes aren't known for their durability, and the Merrell Moab Ventilator is no different. "The outsole is definitely not durable. Mine was worn almost flat within 4 months of mild to moderate use," says a Backcountry.com poster who reviews the mid-cut boot version. Others make do: "I still wear them, but the tread is worn down pretty thin," says an owner at Moosejaw.com who got five years of use from his Moab Ventilators.
  Aside from an outsole that wears quickly, which is the typical trade-off for a soft, grippy tread, the biggest problem seems to be padding just inside the shoe's heel. The good news is that several users say Merrell's customer service is great, and prematurely worn-out shoes are quickly and cheerfully replaced at no cost. A number of wearers point out that if you use your own beefier insoles, the shoes will last much longer.
  Of course, some owners enjoy better-than-expected performance. "These shoes have at LEAST 350+ miles of brutal Utah and Washington terrain on them, hiking through rivers, over mountains, (and) across slick rock without fail," says one on REI.com.
