Wrap around my tail.

Advantages: Easy and quick.
Disadvantages: Material does become ripped.

.... * * * * * * * * * * * There are many types of tail protection on the market that are designed specifically for travelling. Some people prefer to bandage. Tail bags are used a lot by people who show and have to keep the tail clean. There are material tail guards available which have a tie to attach to the rug. Neoprene tail guards seem very popular. Neoprene Tail Guard. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Neoprene tail guards are made from neoprene (you would never have guessed that would you?) which is stretchy synthetic rubber, the same thing that wetsuits are made from. The thickness of neoprene ranges from 2 to 6mm and I would estimate the neoprene tail guard to be around 3mm. The prices range from around £8 to £15 depending on where you buy them from. The material is soft and slightly spongy and almost rubbery but not quite. The one in...

Review of Neoprene Tail Guard

Woof Wear Tail Guard

Advantages: Soft & Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Only 1 size and 1 Colour.

...I own the Woof Wear Neoprene Tail Guard and I have done for a few years as its so reliable. Manufactured from soft, flexible neoprene to protect the tail whilst travelling. It has 4mm PX closed cell neoprene, ergonomic design for easy positioning and fit, it is designed to protect from above top of tail right to end of dock. Has a plush outer finish for unlimited strap adjustment and a secure fit and 4 adjustable high density Touch & Close straps. I noticed after the first few times I used it, it slipped down my horses tail, not much but the top of the tail started to poke out. I thought it might be because my horse has quite a thick tail so I decided to put a tail bandage under the tail guard. After this the tail guard didnt slip once!! I also think that having a bandage under the tail is a bit more support and protection. I do...

Review of Neoprene Tail Guard

The Sonny to the Mouse's Cher

Advantages: Keeps your mouse ball clean
Disadvantages: Can sometimes be eaten by real mice

...yourself doing that rowing motion thing with the mouse to make it move. This is good as a cardiovascular excercise, but has been shown to increase the chances of a household homicide. Secondly, if you have rodents as pets or as infestations, they absolutely love chewing the Neoprene to make bedding. It's true. But let it not be said that I am not thorough in my reviews. I do believe that theNeoprene mouse mat is the best money can buy, but I have tested it against other things which could be used as a mousemat. NEWSPAPER: Again, some slippage witht he moseball, and you really need a broadsheet folded in half, so tabloid readers would have trouble. 8/10 OXFORD CONCISE DICTIONARY: Much better purchase with a mouseball, but the shiny cover makes it useless with an optical mouse. 7/10 HAM: Yorkshire ham usually glistens, and so makes...

Review of Computer Gear Mouse mat Neoprene surface - mouse pad

Getting a baby to wear these is like wrestling an octopus.

Advantages: Protects eyes from UV
Disadvantages: Expensive, couldn't get my babies to wear them

...What are they? Baby banz are sunglasses for age 0-2, they are normal mini-sunglasses with good quality lenses with a wrap around neoprene headband instead of arms to keep them on. The band is adjustable via a velcro band, and the headband has "baby banz" printed on it and is slightly wider at the back for a snug fit. They come in different colours, I bought a pair in pink, and they came in a funky see through case. Reason for Purchase Looking at the specific criteria, with retrospect, I have no idea why I ever thought £9.99 was a reasonable amount to spend on sunglasses for a baby. I can only assume that I thought they looked cute, though I do know that it is important to shield the eyes from UV so perhaps I thought these would do the job. The manufacturer's website says they are fun for kids, maybe I thought my...

Review of Rayban Baby Banz

ThermaBag-the handy way to keep things warm or cold.

Advantages: slim, lightweight and keeps things warm or cold for four hours
Disadvantages: none

...When shopping for the birth of our son, we saw one of these in one of the baby sections somewhere and thought that it would be a good idea to get one for when out and about. I have to say that ours is often a lifesaver when out. One of these will set you back £9.78 from the Boots website. The bag is made of neoprene and has a double layer of insulation which incorporates 3M Thinsulate TM. This allows what you put into the bag to stay warm or cold for up to four hours. The bag is thin, and doesnt take up much space at all. There is also a handy adjustable strap for if you want to carry it over your sholder. The bag can hold two Avent bottles, two magic cups or four VIA cups which I think is good as the bag is compact. The colours available are red, blue and black. Our bag is really handy and has been since my son was born. We...

Review of Avent ThermaBag

Sony PSP Value Pack

Advantages: Very "wow" at the minute, has to be held in the hand to believe!
Disadvantages: Battery life, finger marks on the screen

...scratches - so be careful. The rest of the value pack, not quite sure. The neoprene "sock" as my girlfriend calls it, is useful - although you constantly have to remove said sock to play = more fingerprints (might be better to get one of the new hard cases). The headphones are very "Ipod-ish" - just right for any said muggers trying to identify the new craze (although the PSP will take normal headphones - you just lose the remote control function). A naff white strap is provided as well, making the PSP look like a handbag, and of course the 32mb Memory stick - which is far too small. Overall yes yes - very nice gadget, added to that it is Wi-Fi enabled and ready out of the box, mine auto updated itself with the latest OS once I logged it onto my network (neat), just can't wait for networked GT4 :) Plus a web browser is being mooted to being...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Rubber suits and KY Jelly

Advantages: A necessity for English waters
Disadvantages: expensive

...warmth provided either directly by the suit or through the use of a thermal under suit. Dry suits can be made of a variety of materials, including thick neoprene, crushed or compressed neoprene, laminated layers of butyl rubber or other rubberized material. The different types of materials used have different benefits and also have an impact upon the cost. On the whole suits fall into two distinct categories, either neoprene or membrane suits. Neoprene or trilaminate suits provide a more snug fit, using a thick compressed neoprene make it easier to maintain constant buoyancy and also provide some thermal qualities which reduces the need to wear bulky undergarments, a membrane suit has a lot looser fit and is often compared to wearing a plastic bag I that it has no thermal qualities however the looser fit does afford more flexibility in...

Palmtec Hard Case

Advantages: Sturdy outer case.
Disadvantages: Don't put too many cards in else you'll break it!

...Palmtec have always manufactured quality goods and this new hard case for the Revo is no exception. I already have their neoprene case which is bright, sturdy and does the job. The hard plastic of this model does a much better job of protecting your expensive investment. It is available in a range of colours has a couple of sliders on the edge to open and close the case to allow access inside. It is padded inside and has room for a few business cards but don't put too many in else the hinge will wear out. Cases are not things to get excited about, but if you value your Psion, one of these cases are ideal. £25 plus postage from www.palmtec.com...

Sexy Silverskin

Advantages: Good Cuffs
Disadvantages: None

...Sliver on the Inside!! I bought a Silverskin a couple of years ago and never looked back since. I managed to negoctiate a price of £200 from a local dive shop. The cuffs are great because you can fold them and fold them to get a good seal. Ankle cuffs are great for the same reason as is the neck. The suit also drains very well from tthese cuffs, especially the Neck Cuff There is a good horizontal zip on the back which makes it easy for self dis-robing or your "buddy" to help you out. I would recommend attaching a small pull cord to ease this process. The Zip is very sturdy so if you do have a problem undoing it, pull it back to the beginning and start again. Padded shoulders, elbows and knees are an added bonus as damage to previous wet-suits has been quite costly. My suit is maunfactured from 90% Neoprene and 10...

Review of Scubapro Scotia 6.5Mm Silverskin Semi Dry

Avoid Drop Out, Or At Least Off

Advantages: Good case
Disadvantages: Terrible product, and poor after sales care

...a day; then implying that Royal Mail pulled a fast one and kept the item; taking no responsibility for the item. Granted I'm only £10 out of pocket, but I'm a great lover of principles. The Belkin Sport Armband comes in black, grey, or white; it's made of Neoprene. There is a plastic screen cover, and a little place to put keys or cash.While the case is a good solid item, the armband itself is connected with the smallest patch of Velcro Belkin could find. As a case protector the item is fine, but when it comes to the part that actually goes round your arm, I cannot help that a belt style strap might be better even though I can imagine this having a similar issue. The Armband is available pretty much anywhere that sells the iPod Touch, and is about £8-£14 though I'd look at other ranges than this. For the record, I have given up running...
