Best and Worst bang for your buck

[larrivee 3]

Worst: Warrior Hustler Pants: extremely comfortable, but extremely expensive- also extremely poorly made. Crappy stitching from the factory, incomplete stitches, and tear way, way to easily.

Best: Easton Z-bubbles: durable, kick hard, Cheap

The manual edge again is a great value for the dollars; I use it in a jam and for the price and how long it lasts before I have to replace the edging tool it's pretty high ratio of good use for dollars paid (especially when you get them on sale). It may not be the "best bang for the buck" but it's close.
