Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $4.29
Great for: A quick breakfast, snack, or to fill you up. The good: It has an impressive 8 grams of fiber per serving (for comparison Fruity Pebbles has 0 grams and Frosted Flakes has <1 gram). The bad: The flavor can seem dull to people used to sugar loaded cereals. Rating Taste/Texture: 8/10. This cereal offers a subtle wheat flavor with a hint of honey all wrapped in very crunchy little kernels. In a way it reminds me of Honey Nut Cheerios (in flavor, not texture). On its' own some might describe it as bland, but I disagree. I think there is a very good flavor to the cereal, just not in the hyper sugar infused way people are used to. Also, the flavor is a pleasant change because you can mix in some fruit (my favorite being blueberries) and allow both flavors to coexist. Overall it isn't going to satisfy a sweet tooth but it is still very tasty. Nutrition: 10/10. Obviously eating cereal isn't as healthy as eating nonprocessed foods, but compared to other cereals this is the holy grail. It can flaunt its' impressive 8 grams of fiber, 9 grams of protein (before milk) and only 3 grams of fat. Additionally only 13 (or 34 percent) of its's 38 grams of carbs come from sugar (most cereals have around 40 percent or more coming from sugar). Other: 10/10. This is one of the few cereals I can have a serving of and remain full for a few hours. Even though Kashi Go Lean Crunch has 190 calories per serving chances are you will eat less calories during your day because you won't need to snack between breakfast and lunch. Overall: 28/30. Verdict: If you don't like all the super sugary cereals on the market or are trying to eat healthier, this is for you. |
About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
