By Stephen Regenold There is a soft place in my heart for REI tents. As a burgeoning backpacker in the early 90s, I bought an REI tent on sale for about $150 and kept it for years, staking the two-person shelter out on dozens of trips around the replica Omega 3689.30.31 watch country. This winter, I tested a small backpacking tent from the company () that reminded me of that original shelter. The REI Cirque ASL 2 is built for three-season use -- spring, summer, fall -- plus light winter weather, according to the company. Made for two people, the Cirque ASL 2 costs $269 -- not as cheap as my first tent years ago, but still a value.
The tent, a two-pole design, sets up quickly and provides the bare bones essentials expected in a backpacking model plus dual doors and vestibules for stowing packs and gear.For transport, the tent stuffs down into a small cylindrical package that weighs a bit under 6 pounds (5 pounds, 11 ounces, as per REIs specs). On a backpacking trip, you can replica Omega 2503.80 watch split the weight -- one person carries the tent, the other the stakes and poles -- and have a minimal haul on the trail but still a substantial shelter to share when you get to camp. Dont except to comfortably hang out for long periods inside the Cirque ASL.
Additionally, the bikes are far superior now to what I usedin my career. They are lighter, faster, more responsive. The new skintightsuits absolutely provide an advantage during the swim. I can’t make thedetermination of what’s legal in the sport and what’s replica Longines watches not, but I think we needto be pretty clearcut in our sport for what is allowed in the future, so itdoesn’t lead to any unfair advantages.Who did you expect to win Ironman this year? Were you surprised by thewinners?I wasn’t surprised at all.
