Field Tested: Pedco Wrap Up camera casePrice: $15Verdict: More useful than we thoughtNow, to the accessories aisle. A PR team dropped off a bunch of samples of Pedcos Wrap-Up camera case, which is essentially a protective neoprene sleeve for a point replica Vacheron Constantin watches and shoot camera. Its not the kind of gear you get really excited about, but I happened to grab one before a rainy trip to Maine, and Im glad I did. Basically, the sleeve wraps around the camera, and is screwed in place into the tripod mount. The neoprene offers a little bit of a shock buffer for the camera. (Most point-and-shoots are simply not made for the trail.

Set your backpack down on a rock, and youve got yourself some camera parts to sell on eBay.) Another bonus--for cameras like mine that have no lens cap or closure, youre constantly wiping smudges, droplets and dust off the lens. Not so if its wrapped up in this little neoprene tortilla. Over the course of a couple rainy days on the trail in Maine, replica Patek Philippe watches the sleeve helped keep my notoriously smudge-prone lens remarkably clean and dust free. Minor gripes: Before every shot, you have to unwrap the camera, which entails flipping it around a bit, so its not great for one hand shooting. Also, shooting vertically, the flap can swing in front of the lens, which dramatically reduces the quality of your shots (Nice pic of Johnny. Whats that fuzzy green flap over his face?).

The bike should appeal to older riders or those with tricky backs who still want the look and pedaling responsiveness of a race bike, with a taller head tube, shorter top tube, and flattened rear stays that the company claims can deliver 2mm of vertical travel to smooth out rough suces. The photos at right show the full bikek and the flex zones replica Audemars Piguet watches on the chainstays—theyre also on the fork and seat stays. Well try for a longterm test of the CR1 as well as Scotts new, robust line of road, mtb, and casual apparel and shoes. But from what weve seen so far, the company looks set for a good 2010.—John BradleyTwitter: johnwbradley
