Here's a recap/update of the products recently tested and reviewed by yours truly. All of these products, within their respective segments have held quite well so far. None of them have made it to the bottom of a drawer or closet though one item was given away because a friend really wanted it. Check out the table below to see how well things are aging.

Battle of the bags- TerraCycle vs. Rickshaw Part 1
The TerraCycle Messenger bag by Yak Pak didn't win the head-to-head but it didn't really lose either. Instead it came across as a lighter duty bag than the Rickshaw. This bag lives on as a gym bag for a dancer friend, something for which it is perfectly suited. |

Battle of the bags- TerraCycle vs. Rickshaw Part 1
The clear winner. Though more expensive than the TerraCycle bag it is worth every penny. It's rugged (yes, ever in pink and orange), customizable and easy to live with. This bag is so well loved that it has replaced a Timbuk2 bag that was in service for 13 years! |

Timberland PRO Quadro- shoe review
After nearly two months of almost daily use these shoes are still in like-new condition. The soles are very grippy in wet conditions and the uppers shed water and have not leaked even during the recent downpours. Pretty sure these shoes will be around for many years to come. |

This was a double product review of the Allman base layer shirt (which works perfectly as an outer layer, too) & the Freedom Bear long sleeve tee (pictured above). Both of these shirts have been in heavy roatation since they arrived. Both are holding up well after many wash and wear cycles. These shirts are a testament to the value good construction and material sourcing. |

Nau Acoustic Jacket- product review
This jacket has ended up being way nicer than previously imagined. The high-tech fabric works like magic! So far it has proven to be water-proof, not just water-resistent, all while maintaining a balance between being warm yet breathable. This jacket easily goes from being casual and sporty by day to sleek and stylish by night. |

PACT underwear- a product review
Not a lot to update here since this is the most recent test/review. Still comfy. Still as stylish as underpants can be. Still made by a good company dedicated to doing some good in this world. |
