We don’t see Saucony around these parts very often so its only right that when we do take a glance at them they are as fresh as this pair.
The local Sole Boutique here in San Antonio recently linked up with the brand for this limited edition Shadow 5000 that looks great. The black/grey suede and mesh upper is counterbalanced with hits on neon on the stitching and outsole while the boutiques branding is seen along the upper too in the form of the tongue tag and the bear logo. Look for these to drop in July but be ready, there are only 100 pairs to go around.

If you’re going to be outdoors for long periods of time, reviews indicate that 3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent 12 Lotion is a good choice for insect repellent. The high concentration of DEET (34 percent) found in 3M Ultrathon helps it last for up to five hours. 3M Ultrathon uses a controlled-release form of DEET; the DEET is encapsulated in a polymer, which means the amount of chemical absorbed into the skin is limited, making it safer to use. As is the case with all products containing DEET, 3M Ultrathon is not recommended for use on babies and should be washed off after returning indoors. Products containing DEET can also damage plastic or painted surfaces. For those who prefer a DEET-free insect repellent, the picaridin-based Cutter Advanced (*est. $6 for 6 oz.) is effective for about 2.5 hours.
ConsumerReports.org provides one of the best reviews of 3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent 12 Lotion, comparing it with 17 other repellents. A report on eMedicine.com discusses a wide range of mosquito repellents (including 3M Ultrathon), while a field test by the Journal of Medical Entomology tests three DEET repellents (but offers no comparison to repellents with other ingredients). Finally, user reviews at Drugstore.com provide information not only about scent but also about how a number of products, including 3M Ultrathon, feel on the skin.
- Protects up to five hours
- Special DEET formula
- Water resistant
- Works against ticks and biting flies
- Not for use with babies
- Can damage plastic and paint
- Needs to be washed off after returning indoors
- Expensive

Although the sequels to Grease and Caddyshack may deter you from ever wanting to improve on a classic, The North Face managed to beat the odds and upgrade their best-selling Paramount Peak Convertible Pant. They retained all of the staples of a dependable pair of hiking pants, while also taking the time to improve details wherever possible. The fit strikes a nice balance between being relaxed enough to comfortably allow high stepping through steep talus, yet athletic enough to avoid billowing like a pillowcase on a clothesline in a strong breeze.
