“Kuhl” Summer Evenings

Posted on by

Think about it. How many times have you left the house mid-day on a sunny 80-degree afternoon to play golf, go boating, or just to an afternoon barbecue that ended lasting all night long? Personally, I can think of too many to count. All of sudden that 4 hour golf game has now turned into 5 because of slow play. Of course in my game I’m the only one causing the slow down trying to fish my ball out of the 13th hole pond, which might as well be an ocean. By the time I’m heading for the 19th
hole bar, the sun is setting, the wi
kuhl moonbeam zipnds have picked up, and my husband and I are freezing!

I need a pullover that is warm, feels good on my burned skin, and is easily toteable. My husband needs the same features, but one that can adapt to his dressy golf polo or his torn, distressed tee that he wears on the boat. He also hates anything bulky, which tends to limits several brands of pullovers. After some searching I found the Kuhl
Moonbeam zip. Kuhl makes both a ¼ zip and full-zip for individual preference. Exclusive Alfpaca fleece with a modern edge design. Contrast stitching highlights athletic cut. Knit face is lightly brushed for a soft hand. Strong, durable YKK front zip closure with a raised neck for added warmth. The Kuhl moonbeam has now become one of my husband’s favorites. Thank god its machine washable!

Rossi Aussie’s – Have Arrived!

Posted on by


Australian Rossi Boots - Made for Anything"While
we’re not making a great variety of bushwalking boots, our reputation is for
reliability on those and we still want to be in that market; just more reliable
than fashionable," Managing
director Dean Rossiter

.

Direct from Australia since 1910 comes Rossi Boots, a leather work boot made with comfort and durability in mind. The company makes use of a high pressure water jet leather cutting machine to cut pieces from the Australian hides. To improve the sole-attaching process, the company recently installed a 24-station carouselthat directly molds a dual-density sole to the upper. A polyurethane mid-sole provides cushioning under the foot. A unique feature of Rossi boots is a special air-cushioned sole that absorbs the shock of contact with the ground or other hard surfaces. Small pockets of air within the sole provide an added layer of protection against the pounding the foot takes throughout the workday. Rossi features include the 2.5mm water resistant leather upper to helpguard against knife drops, a rubber sole that completely wraps up the side wall to protect the air cushion midsole against animal fats and water, and the efficient rubber tread pattern which by design offers excellent slip resistance on wet surfaces.
