[Triple8Sol]

This blog post is a placeholder for me to keep a running list of gear I've had experience with. Helps me to keep track and also forms the foundation for my opinions. Almost all of the gear is/was personally owned and the rest are/were owned by someone in the crew or a long-term loaner. Despite what some YouTuber clowns out there might try and say, two runs on a demo day in the wrong conditions/terrain doesn't provide a sufficient basis for review/comparison.
