This is a great brand, but it runs small. Order a size bigger than you might, especially if you are over 25! This bright color is so important for city biking. It seems to be a color that shows up better than all others. I like the zippered pocket in the back too. This price on Amazon is unbeatable too.

This review is from: Pearl iZUMi Women's Elite Barrier Cycling Vest (Apparel)
I love this vest! I got a size xs and the fit is perfect. I can certainly feel a difference in the cold and it also creates a nice wind barrier (no more gusty winds). The quality is fantastic and it looks great on - it's a must buy!

The FIXE Traditional Anchor is designed for any type of route. This Top Anchor unit is ideal for multi-pitch climbs. Multiple attachment points offer many options for belay and bivy set-ups. The anchor design is commonly used in Europe and has unfortunately not yet caught on in the U.S. When placed in good rock, the anchor simultaneously loads both anchors in bolt placements. The design locates the anchor bolts in a vertical orientation. This will eliminate the “Shock Load possibility if one anchor bolt were to fail. This design is far superior to anchors that locate the anchor bolts across a horizontal plane.
Couldn't wait to wear it and it lived up to all my expectations. I bought the White vest and everyone in my cycling club commented on how great it looked. I love the side zip pockets as well as the internal pockets for my cash and keys. I have been wearing it right through winter and its kept me nice and cosy.

I have bought and compared 3 series of microplane products. They are 1. professional 2. premium 3. classic. Here is what I found.
They are all using the same blade-made in USA but assembled in Mexico.
The designs differ. Professional is more auqare like many graters we have used from before. It is not super eye catching. The premium and classic series has that long lean body that everyone recognizes easily to be super special to microplane.
Furthermore,Premium and classic series come with plastic handles and several reviewers complain they broke if you are too forceful. The professional series are made of all stainless steel all over.
Also, the premium and the classic series differ in two things. First, at the end where it stands on the counter top, the premium comes with two tiny plastic foot, you cannot see front the pic, but they are there while the classic does not. It protects the surface of either your countertop or your mixer... Read more

I find this to be a better tool for zesting than the traditional zester. I use less effort zesting with this Microplane to remove only the rind and not get to that white pith that is very bitter. And most of the zest collects underneath the tool or falls from below. A few minor raps and the most of the collected zest fall away. When I use the traditional zesting tool, I get quite a bit of the zest and essential oil on my hands.
This Microplane is fairly easy to wash and clean. But, after washing, hold the handle and shake out the water that collects in the handle. Then place the Microplane with the handle up after washing so the water dries out from the handle.
I see that there is a newer version of this tool with a shorter and wider rasp area. The tool also includes a small and large strip zester.
PROS: Removes the zest with less effort and better control (without removing the bitter pith). Easily collects the zest without it collecting on... Read more

This review is from: Microplane Premium Zester/Grater (Kitchen)
Had this model of Microplane for 5+ years - until the plastic broke & that was it. Upgraded to the professional series to avoid another breakage (always at the wrong time) - love these zesters!!! Also got the coarse grater & dumped my old box grater forever. Spend the extra couple of bucks & get a professional series - you will love it forever.
