Kershaw Volt SS Knife - Best Bang for the Buck - Review



You've asked for it and so here it is! The Kershaw Volt SS Stainless Steel Knife review.




$20 on Amazon.  Double the cost on other sites.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
SpeedSafe assisted opening
Frame lock
Flipper
3-position pocketclip
Steel: 8CR13MOV, bead-blasted finish
Handle: 410, bead-blasted finish
Blade Length: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm)
Closed Length: 4.25 in. (10.8 cm)
Overall Length: 7.75 in. (19.7 cm)
Weight: 4.3 oz. (122 g)

This is a small knife that handles like a big knife.

When it comes to looks, it’s simple.  What I would call minimalistic.  There is no nonsense, nothing superficial.

The thick hollow grind preserves tip strength and rigidity

I love the recessed jumping along the body of the knife.  It’s function and looks awesome.

Locks solid.  Disengages well.

Good pocket clip.

made for the traditional saber grip

When it comes to the flipper, I’m a fan of it.  Quick, easy but not too easy. There is a bit of weight behind it which feels like quality.  Once pressed, it springs open.  That may make it somewhat dangerous to those who are less knowledgable about blades.

Quick but not fast.

This is my current GO TO EDC knife and clearly it has been used.

For what you are getting this blade is insanely affordable.

The 8CR13MoV steel holds a great edge.  Easy to sharpen as well.

Outdoor Research Helium Pants - Review





Months ago I reviewed the Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket and today up for review is the Helium Pants.

…..

Available in two colors : Grey and Black
Sizes : Xs - XL

Prices : $120 on the Outdoor Research site and around $81 on Amazon at the time of filming this video.

Material : 100% Nylon

Features
..............
Ankle Zippers; Fully Seam Taped
Waterproof
Breathable
Lightweight
Fully Seam-Taped
Elastic Waist with Drawcord
Ankle Zippers
Stuffs into Back Zipper Pocket
Fabric: Pertex® Shield+ 2.5L, 100% nylon 30D ripstop
Weight for the Medium size 4.5oz
When folded in it’s own pocket like this, it is 5”x6”

When it comes to most rain pants, they tend to have longer inseams.  These pants have shorter inseams which means better fit….for myself at least.  Some people like longer inseams; it’s a personal preference thing so keep this in mind before purchasing.

These pants are indeed waterproof as I have worn them in some knock down thunderstorms.  Very light weight, great quality, won’t take up much room in your pack and are perfect for spring, summer and fall.  For the winter months I tend to do with more technical laminate materials like Goretex.  In other words, stronger materials that can handle the abrasive nature of ice.

Perfect for those who are looking to cut weight from their loud outs while not sacrificing protection from the rain.

When it comes to cost, $80 is just about right for the materials.  Similar products are around the same range price wise.
