Reply to Recommendations For Bicycle Helmets by Nickodyn
You already know that you have to replace after a crash, but you are also supposed to replace them every 5 years too.
Go to a reputable bike shop and find one that fits your head. There are plenty of good brands, but you want something that fits and is comfortable to wear.

I ride a mountain bike so I ride with a full face helmet but a lot of us mainly use, Troy lee, 100percent and fox.
I haven’t looked but I’m sure they will all make road design helmets.

Reply to Anyone remember when Doc’s were still being made in England? I bought these in the mid 90’s I think. Is the quality still any good? by Unhallowedhopes
They do 2 ranges. Regular black docs are made in Thailand. The Made in England ones are made in Northampton and are usually the bright colours and special editions. I don’t think either are BIFL.

No, Target only carries their own brands of shoes for the most part. (I think there are some exceptions for kids shoes?)

I have a pair of docs I bought around 2010, made in China. They are still in great shape after ~13 years of regular wear.
That said, the soles are really different from these, and IMO they don't have the grip they used to in the 90s. I definitely wouldn't wear them for outdoorsy type pursuits nowadays, they're for fashion only.

Silicone is the material. PIAA was the starter/most popular, SilBlade is a cheaper option. My PIAAs lasted me 10 years on first set. Got inserts and they are like 7ish years old now. Plus the silicone coats your windshield and give you a light RainXish coating. Procedure is alcohol clean the windshield, put the wipers on, turn on wipers dry for 4-10 minutes to bed in/coat the windshield, then you are good.

Not sure what I have on my Jaguar but after 3+ years or so they still work very well. Probably Bosch or something. I will probably replace them soon enough or at least if they rip or something. I need new washer jets really, there are some aftermarket ones that are a good improvement.

PIAA Silicone blades. They last much longer than any others I've ever used.

I use Bosch and buy them off Rockauto for both my cars once a year. Around $4-5 per wiper and you pay shipping once.

Reply to Washer/Dryer brands that don't suck by DasBlueEyedDevil
Electrolux. That's it, full stop.
They're the best washer and dryer for the money, don't destroy clothes like speed queens, and come with an 18 month warranty. I've got a set of the 600 series and they're an absolute dream.

A little more obscure than Bosch, but I've found them to be superior and last longer. PIAA Si-Tech. Lasts 5-7 years for me with no streaking.

They have england docs available but most of them are assembled in China nowadays
It's a shame I used to get years out of those boots and now it's more like 1 year before the boot separates form the sole

Seemed to and actually did last for years are two different things.
Wiper blades on average need replacing every 6 months, the materials in premium brands are better than the cheap stuff but they will still wear out, they'll just work better while they wear out vs. ripping or shredding that can occur with cheap blades.
Bosch and Michelin have quality blades.

Adidas Copa Mundial for life! Been wearing those since I was a little kid :).
Keep them clean and conditioned and they should last a very long time. Don’t walk on concrete, etc with any cleats.

Meh, this is a wasted one-use product in my opinion.
My regular beard trimmer has a nose triming atatchment and I've never needed anything more.

Don’t use this for butt hair removal. Especially don’t use it for butt then nose hair removal. This is not one size fits all tool.
