Oakley may have outdone themselves this time and. if you know about their history of shotgun-blast-pro of glasses and the lik e, that's saymg a lot . They set out to design and create the ultimate backpack , and they may have done just that. As with most of Oakley's products , tnis backpack looks cool. But that's not all It does. It's made of balhstic nylon for durabihtv , and It'S wate r-resistant, rugged and super -comfortable. It has too many features to li st, but among them are contoured shoulder straps that have a brushed poly -wick li nin g and cinch together across your chest to keep the pack in place. It also features a second front strap that goes around your waist . Add to this th e fact th at the large compart ment of the pack is padded generously where it contacts your back and you now have arguably the best backpack made today for bicycling . inline skating, or any other actIVIties you can think of. It's also quite aerodynami c, which makes it a grea t motorcycle-commu te backpack for those of you who frequently ride a motorcycle to w ork, Mocor-eetori 1 41 68 Povvay Road, SUite 205 Povvay.

Also, it contains a plasti c protection panel along the outsi de of the foot to protect your metatarsals (foot bones similar to the bones in th e palm area of your hand); an anatomically shaped, polyuretha ne front shin plate; a removable insole; and anti -wear chamois split-gram leather on the upper insid e of th e boot to isolate the leg from external heat sources. Made of Italy's finest top-g ram leather, this boot is a steal at $260, c ue . u nuvvs A UGUST 1 6 . 2000 23
