Altra Lone Peak 6

LOVE THEM!!

😍😍😍

Pros:

  • Super stylish! I’m a huge fan of the new colors the LP6 have available. I’m happy with the color scheme I chose, but I really dig the green ones too!😍
  • Best constructed Lone Peaks I have ever had. Previous versions I have had always had a few loose threads here and there. These ones seem perfect!
  • So comfortable!
  • Light weight. I have been running in my Olympus 4’s for some time lately, and I have forgotten how light these feel/are!
  • Toe box is dream like!

Cons:

  • Too good looking! I don’t want to get them dirty because they look so nice in their new sate!! I’m hoping they clean up nice after a muddy outing!?
  • The sole looks like it’s exactly the same as previous models and they have traditionally worn down too fast. 🤷‍♂️
  • Expensive @$140.00usd. 💰
  • I wish the laces were longer. I use the heal lock and struggle with them falling out of the “loops” when I untie them. 🤔

I have yet to take them on a run yet. I have been wearing them around my house and never want to take them off. I will update this review post first run. ☮️

ASICS $40 CHIN DIAPER/ Runners Face Cover review.

TOG Reviews's avatar December 9, 2020

Never thought I would ever be reviewing or get excited about a face cover! 😷

This face mask got my attention when the pandemic started. It claimed to be designed for runners and it sold out as soon as it was released. I signed up to be notified when it will be released again via email. I woke up to an email from Ascis stating that the face masks were back in stock. I order 4 because I wanted to gift them in anticipation that they would be “life changing” while exercising. The “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” made the ordering super easy!! I read some reviews while waiting for them to be delivered and I was shocked to read the negative reviews that came up. So I was waiting in anticipation to see what Non-returnable purchase I made!

This mask is NOT “ONE SIZE FITS ALL”!! When I have it on and happen to open my mouth, the mask exposes my nose and mouth!! This results in Zero protection for everyone while wearing. Maybe it works better on people with smaller heads?? I’ll be trying other manufacturers masks because this one just was a waste of $40 in my situation. See photos below.

Pros:

  • The mask looks great on me!
  • The construction seems durable.
  • The cords that hang from your neck keep the mask from ending up on the ground.
  • That’s it! I’m struggling to find any thing else positive.

Cons:

  • Not one size fits all!!! It is too small for me.
  • $40!!
  • Not enough protection from viruses due to the ventilation below the chin.
Mask feels secure if my mouth is closed…
Open my mouth and my nose is exposed! So disappointing!!🤬
The mask returns to rest below my nostrils after closing my mouth. FAILURE 😣
