When I first started using the Venu 3S, I found it a bit overwhelming trying to navigate all the different features. But after about a week, I really started to love it. The Venu 3S is excellent for tracking a wide range of fitness goals, whether you're walking, running, swimming, or doing something else active. It also provides insightful sleep scores to help you understand your rest better.

One of my favorite things about this watch is that it’s not bulky like many other smartwatches. It's lightweight and comfortable. I think it’s a great option for beginners who want something compact but still packed with powerful features.

\ \ When I first started using the Venu 3S, I found it a bit overwhelming trying to navigate all the different features. But after about a week, I really started to love it. The Venu 3S is excellent for tracking a wide range of fitness goals, whether you're walking, running, swimming, or doing something else active. It also provides insightful sleep scores to help you understand your rest better.\ \ One of my favorite things about this watch is that it’s not bulky like many other smartwatches. It's lightweight and comfortable. I think it’s a great option for beginners who want something compact but still packed with powerful features.\ \ Madeline Rake](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/607257) \ \ I’ve been using OceanBlue Omega for the past few weeks and I’m genuinely impressed. The softgels are easy to take, have no fishy aftertaste, and didn’t upset my stomach—something I’ve experienced with other omega-3 supplements in the past. I noticed an improvement in mental clarity and joint comfort, especially during and after workouts. The high EPA concentration stands out compared to other brands, and I appreciate the quality and purity of the formula. I feel better knowing I’m supporting my heart, brain, and overall health with a product that’s pharmaceutical grade.\ \ OceanBlue Omega gave me this free product to try.\ \ Oscar Rodriguez](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/569024) \ \ Just wow!!Ive now owned several ballistic rangefinders since they started coming out years ago. This thing is a monster! It has considerable weight that would be one of two downsides. The other being it takes a day to learn and maybe two to set up. If you are inputting all the data it is amazing how on point it will put you. \ The magnification and glass are wonderful. It out performs every rangefinder I have ever owned!!!!! The smallest complaint I have is that the carry cord(lanyard) looks nice but has too weak of a coil to be springy just straightens out and dangles so it’s too long to utilize really. But I guess when attached to my rangefinder carry case on my pack would stop it from let say falling in the snow. This rangefinder is now my go to over my others. \ \ dennis w.](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/565218) \ \ The box that deliversWas apprehensive about the size, however…. It was super easy to set up, mount and bore-sight. The field of view is nice. Easy to bring on target while still seeing the rest of the environment. You can quickly adjust brightness. This is the only 1moa dot I’ve found. So on a 2moa gun it is increasingly accurite. \ That being said might be the best option on the market. I would love a green dot version with a multi retical option and maybe rounded contoured edges. This is a top notch sight in my opinion. \ \ dennis w.](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/565217) \ \ KT Soothe is Smooth!KT Tape gave me this free product to try.\ \ I’ve been using the Soothe Magnesium Cream for a few weeks now, mostly after Pilates and yoga sessions. I applied it to my lower back, shoulders, and calves—areas that tend to get stiff or sore after intense stretching or prolonged holds.\ \ Recovery & Performance:\ I definitely noticed an improvement in how quickly I recovered between sessions. Normally I experience tightness the next morning, but with regular use of the cream, that stiffness was significantly reduced. It didn’t just help with recovery—it helped me feel more mobile and ready to perform the next day.\ \ Pain & Soreness Relief:\ The magnesium cream provided real relief in targeted areas. I especially liked using it on my lower back and hamstrings, where I tend to carry tension. The soothing effect kicked in gradually and seemed to last for hours.\ \ Mobility & Readiness:\ Using the cream became a part of my post-workout routine. I felt looser and more mobile after applying it, and over time it became clear that my body bounced back more easily after harder sessions.\ \ Ease of Use:\ It was easy to apply and absorbed quickly without feeling greasy. I liked that I could use more or less depending on how sore I felt.\ \ Scent & Feel:\ The scent was calming—mild and not overpowering. It added to the relaxing experience, especially after yoga in the evening. My skin felt smooth, and there was no residue.\ \ Calm & Overall Impact:\ I found that applying the cream became a moment of mindfulness. It helped me wind down, and I honestly felt calmer after using it, especially as part of my evening routine.\ \ Recommendation:\ I’d recommend this cream to anyone who does regular physical activity, especially those in yoga, Pilates, or recovery-focused movement practices. It would also benefit people with general muscle stiffness or chronic soreness. As someone with experience in strength training, yoga, and rehabilitation exercises, I can say this is a valuable recovery tool that actually works.\ \ Oscar Rodriguez](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/563593) \ \ Dexterity meets Durability Hey you cold ascent runners!! Need a glove? Need a mitt? Need to be seen at night? Well here is the answer! \ \ Nathan has created the ultimate answer to these questions and more! I’d say these are lighter than my phone but maybe even lighter than a pine cone! They fit nicely into my running jacket pocket or run vest without me noticing they are there. \ \ With the efficient fabrics Nathan has used, my hands stay warm without causing me to sweat even when I’m pumping out 150-170 bpms on uphills. \ \ On both of the thumbs therein lies the most comfy nose wipe you could imagine. Your nose will thank you! And quite frankly your upper lip if you catch my drift…\ \ Last nice touch I appreciated…the mitt fabric ticks into its own pocket without bunching up and bothering the top of your hands. \ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/542090) \ \ a POWER bankI had the venture 30 for around 5-8 years until the buttons started failing (light and battery check) and it no longer held a charge. Up until that point it was amazing. I’m sure this will do the same if not longer…\ \ In comes this behemoth of a charger! This powerful 18w, IP67 bank with a 50 lumen light packs the punch my outdoor tech needs when I’m out in the backcountry or out in the urban life. Though it is heavier than its predecessor at 10 oz (sorry ultra-lighters) I am confident in its ability to keep my gps watch, head lamp, phone, Garmin in reach, radios, etc. all going for days so I can stay in the game without missing a beat. \ \ Incredible grip, love the rubber cover for the 2 USB ports and I am a big fan of how strong the USB ports hold my cables (NO loose ends here while I wiggle around in my sleeping bag at night!).\ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/542089) \ \ DividedAfter getting this product free as a trial from the company, I evaluated its appearance, taste, packaging, and effectiveness. Out of the four the first three are all good. However, I sum the effectiveness up to if you believe it works it works, if you don’t then it doesn’t. I did not experience any notable effects in any way. It was just something I ate as the bottle directed for well over a week. Tho I do appreciate getting the chance to try them for myself. \ \ dennis w.](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/535668) \ \ Brilliant and simpleLightweight, slick but not slippery and incredibly durable piece of dyneema. The stitching is thick and allows you to easily maneuver the sling around your harness, on the rock, tree or bolts. I really have no complaints with this piece of gear. I am a beginner/intermediate lead climber with plans to take this on trad routes. Hope you enjoy this awesome and not expensive sling from mammut! Happy climbs!\ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/532669) \ \ 1. Effective Performance: It provides reliable, long-lasting odor protection, even in challenging conditions.\ 2. Gentle on Skin: The natural formula is soothing and doesn’t irritate, which is a common issue with many deodorants.\ 3. Pleasant Scent: The light coconut fragrance is refreshing and not overpowering.\ 4. Clean Ingredients: It's aluminum-free and made with natural components, aligning with a healthier lifestyle.\ 5. Eco-Friendly: It reflects a commitment to sustainability, which is an important value for me.\ \ Oscar Rodriguez](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/531673) \ \ I love this sweater! I use it as a base layer for all my fall and winter outdoor adventures. I always get cold and this keeps me toasty warm in all my adventures! I particularly like the thumb holes that help for cold hands on early mornings. No matter your experience or adventure this item is sure to keep you warm!\ \ ASHLEY THOMASMEAGER](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/531462) \ \ Great quad builder!This incredibly large yet featherlight carabiner is a must have on your sport rack! I use it for creating quads*. The biner is ergonomically designed with a human hand in mind. It is easy to grip in a pinch, has a fast twist locking mechanism and a big basket to carry the rope back and forth freely at the top of a route. I recommend this for beginner up to expert. It is ideal that the more room a rope has to move between two carabiners, the less chance any pinching in the rope can occur. This carabiner provides that room at a fraction of the weight. \ *A quad is another type of anchor that allows the rope to self equalize. Several climbers can be on this all day with no wear on the product. \ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/528954) \ \ Rugged and accurate.Great scope I've but probably 1000 rounds through various guns with it mounted from .308 win too .300 win mag. Holds zero very well even when getting beaten around in my pack on elk hunting treks. It's on the larger side so it does add some weight and makes fitting in my pack a bit difficult especially when trying to get it out in a hurry. I would say it's a great option for beginner to intermediate shooters looking to get into long range shooting. \ \ James Perkins](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/524019) \ \ I received this spotter from Vortex to use and test and I had the pleasure of getting to try the new Crossfire Vortex spotting scope and I was thoroughly impressed. The clarity and sharpness of the images I was able to see through the scope were amazing. Whether I was looking for animals or just looking out in the distance, the spotting scope performed exceptionally well.\ \ One of the things I really liked about the scope was its durability. It was easy to carry around and set up quickly, which made it a great tool to have in the field. The adjustable eyepiece and focus knob were also very user-friendly and allowed me to quickly adjust the scope to my liking.\ \ I would definitely recommend the Vortex spotting scope to others, especially those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting, birdwatching, or nature photography. The quality of the optics is top-notch and the overall performance of the scope exceeded my expectations.\ \ Overall, I was extremely impressed with the Vortex spotting scope and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you to Vortex Optics for providing me with this free product to test out - it was truly a pleasure to use.\ \ Shawna Johnson](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/520632) \ \ I use on my dogs and it works great. it's easy to apply and I know my girls are protected. I recommend this product because it works. thanks Frontline for having my girls backs. it's affordable and doesn't smell like some other products. anyone can use this product as long as they are the correct weight. there are other for smaller dogs and larger. there's even one for your cat. it's nice to have peace of mind when it come to the safety of my girls.\ \ Lori Malby](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/501107) \ \ Talk about the magnification Vortex sent this product to me to test, and after handling it in store which honestly did it no justice! At home it was easy to see the quality. The scope comes with a full neoprene cover to add protection during travel between home and hills. I may not own a vortex tripod, which was no issue it mounted right up. I will say the pro mount for in the truck is a great addition to fully utilize this optic. The magnification controls are straight forward and easy to use. Has a sunshade built in for extra bright days. The glass was clear and gave a good sight picture out to amazing distances well over shooting ranges. Makes spotting game a breeze! When out sighting in rifles will save me miles of walking and loads of time. My only complaints: the eyepiece cover is attached ( tho it slips around) the magnification ring so it is constantly in the way. And They haven’t offered the crosshairs reticle for this yet. \ \ dennis w.](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/499571) \ \ It's an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable thermo for keeping beverages hot or cold for extended periods.\ pros: Excellent Insulation: Keeps beverages at the desired temperature for a long time, making it perfect for outdoor activities, work, or travel.Durability: The stainless steel construction is very robust and can withstand rough handling.Large Capacity: Suitable for long trips or for sharing beverages with a group.Versatile Lid: The cup/lid feature is convenient for enjoying drinks on the go.Easy to Clean: The wide mouth design allows for easy cleaning and filling.\ \ Oscar Rodriguez](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/498024) .jpg)\ \ ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COMPANY!This company not only has the best products Ive tried so far, me and my partner use the sleep gummies every night, and the others through out the day! There sweatshirt is amazing feeling! The shirts are the most comfortable t shirts, Ilove mine to sleep in, my hubby wears his daily! They have became our new go to place to get our gummies and even merch! They ALWAYS respond with in a day and make what ever went wrong right, they have an amazing team! Thank you again Cornbread Hemp! Especially Andrea! Going above and beyond everytime! your much appreciated!\ \ natayia mcdougall](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/497555) \ \ Smooth yet grippyI love this rope! I got the 70 meter which is good almost all around the continental US. Keep in mind other countries such as the far west have my routes requiring 80 meter ropes. \ \ It is light enough on the wall that grabbing it to clip in was not at all a hassle. If/ when I have to clip above me, pulling up the rope is not cumbersome as far as weight nor grip is concerned. I use a grigri and the rope fits nicely into the cam and slides quite smoothly when belaying. Being a 70 meter it is quite heavy out on the crag but surprisingly, certainly not overbearing by no means. I look forward to taking it on multi pitches in the near future. \ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/495381) \ \ Great quality for a good price!The Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 optic has exceptional clarity and the reticle is very intuitive. With the locking turrets and the zero stop system installed, it was easy to make quick adjustments for follow up shots and returning to zero was simple. This optic would be good for those looking to get into long range shooting and learning how hold overs work, but may not be for the new shooter just starting out. \ \ Jonathan Burgess](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/494202) \ \ Durable, prep for rain…The weight of this bivy is phenomenal when compared to full body tents. At 18 oz (1lb 2 oz), this breathable (albeit ventless) shell is a great alternative to a heavy weather proof tent when you know there will not be inclement weather. With only 3 stake points, one pole and the body (no footprint needed), you will never notice this piece in your pack. \ \ The set up is rather quick and easy. Inside, you may feel cramped but once asleep, you won’t notice. \ I was able to store my shell jacket, shell pants, a book, a towel, warm gloves and a puffy and STILL had plenty of headspace. \ \ I use the Thermarest NeoAir XLite Max SV. This a rather wide sleeping pad and still fits nicely in the bivy. So if you are concerned with your pad fitting, if it’s smaller than this you will be fine because any bigger may not. \ \ The ugly: throughout one whole night of rain in the backcountry of Ouray, CO the inside of the bivy was dripping and coated my sleeping bag with a nice layer of moisture. Since my bag is prepared for that (dri-down and DWR coating), I myself was never wet and slept through the night. \ \ Immediately when you open the bivy, if it’s raining, the rain will enter your sleeping space since there is no vestibule. \ \ Overall, I think the construction for the weight, breathability and ease of set up/take down, leads me to recommend this bivy for “dry weather backpacking” to any ultra light adventurer. \ \ Timothy Carroll](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/488663) \ \ Cutest riding socksNot only are these the most comfortable but also the cutest boot socks I’ve ever owned. They’re the perfect height, they have amazing compression (helps with my shin splints) and they don’t make my feet sweat. These are great for anyone that wants an amazing boot sock with a little flair. I’ve worn mine mostly at work, they keep me feeling energized through the day. When I do get to ride in them they offer the perfect support. \ \ Julia Daley](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/478294) \ \ Not completely in loveI really liked the prism no star effect for astigmatism reticle. Partially what had me sold. Tho I couldn’t find one to pick up and look at. So…. I bit the bullet and bought one and waited. It finally arrived and I get it out and decide to mount it. It has a high and low mount in the box very cool! Had plans on putting on my 45/70 dark as I don’t plan on shooting out more than a few hundred yards at most. And found it was not going to work as the eye relief is stupid short!!! Very uncool… like most high power scopes are not needing to be this close. For the moment I decided to build a totally custom mount and mount it. It comes into focus fast and clear. On or off. Is nice and crisp on colors and clarity. Looks like a cross between fallout meets John wick.. weather turned again so haven’t had the pleasure of playing any further. \ \ dennis w.](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/476960) \ \ GlassPak Sport HarnessI want to start off by saying this is a huge product upgrade from the factory case shipped with most Vortex Binos. Everything is very well put together and stitching feels very sturdy. The large case fit my 15x56 diomondbacks very snug. The biggest advantage to this pack is the lightweight design along with the harness . The harness is designed for lightweight trips. I've found uses in hiking, shed hunting, and scouting for game. This product isn't designed for big chest setups with rangefinders and other accessories. Although they have included webbing to attach a pistol which I have utilized with my razco harness for my pistol. Great product and huge upgrade from the original bino harness\ \ Reid Barrows](https://www.expertvoice.com/review/475023)
