For testing kids that young, when communication and coordination are still rapidly developing, I have just handed them a kaleidoscope or even a paper towel tube and had them look through it. Make note of what hand and eye they use and monitor this over a number of uses. Don't explain what you...
Waterproofing is a tricky thing. The Salomons and many other light hikers with fabric aren't the best at keeping water out. Once the waterproofing breaks down, the Gore-Tex membrane can actually work against you because it takes longer for the boots to dry out. I am going to re-treat my...

SAAMI has tested a lot of scenarios:
Single cartidge impact test: 2:04
