Comment on Petzl Vizion Modification: No More Condensation! by Evan

@eric, yes. I found the ABS plastic of the Half Dome quite soft actually. Using a leather awl, I put holes in the hard shell as described in the Vizor documentation. Since there were guide marks though, the way there are on Petzl helmets, I had to do some dry-fitting to work out the bet spot for the mounting; too far back and the Vizor wouldn’t clear the front edge of the helmet when retracting it, too forward and it would stick out awkwardly from my face.

How did you attach the vizor to the helmet? Punch two holes in the helmet and then screw them together?

[...] Probably the biggest challenge in the 8 hr format is fuel. You really have to get into a zone with the caloric intake so that you can focus the brain on keeping the pedals turning. Once you get hydration and fuel down, the fun part can begin. Last year’s Fall event was really good this way. Myself and two other riders got into the zone early on and had an epic battle for the final three hours. I wrote about it before. [...]

Comment on Arc’teryx Silo 30 Review by Evan

Hi Dara,
Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion! Using the webbing toggle on the Silo you can point the picks in either direction; the webbing goes through the head and around the shaft. While pointing them either direction has advantages and disadvantages, the issue is that the head of the axe dosen’t stay put in the toggle at all, so that the tool becomes suspended from the velcro and swings around either way. I’ve been experimenting with adjusting the webbing loop (since is actually on a steel slider sewn to the pack) and am getting mixed results. I’ll make an update to the review when I get something figured; a DIY project might be required.
