I have a webcam now so I’m going to attempt to start doing video reviews of the gear I have. Not like the sales pitches you see but actual reviews. Hopefully it’ll come out okay. Any recommendations on how to go about it and what information to include?

I think what you don’t like about the garment is always more interesting then what you do like about it – but that’s just my two cents.
July 27, 2010 at 3:10 pm #27785WeaponZeroParticipantThat’s what I want to do. I want to focus on the negatives of each garment, and say whether or not I consider them dealbreakers and why.

This is kinda in the same vein as your previous comment. If you could compare, for instance, two jackets that you liked on the whole and maybe list some reasons why a person might buy one or the other depending on their circumstances, that’d be really cool. It might be hard to work in, but I think it’d add a lot. Otherwise you end up in my shoes: “ok, so the A-Stars X and the Dainese Y are both great, they fit great, and their super protective? Well crap! Which one should I get?”
