No matter if you are zipping down the mountain on fresh powder or gliding over snow-covered terrain, you’ll want to wear the right ski outfit. While having a  ski  jacket , gloves and hat are important, don't overlook your ski pants. A good pair of ski pants will help keep you warm and dry on the mountain. Pro Tips breaks down key features to look for in ski pants that can help keep you comfortable on the slopes.     SKI BIB VS. PANTS  There are two distinct pants to choose from: regular pants and bibs. The choice will come down to personal preference. ● Regular ski pants fit like a pair of everyday pants. They come with a zip fly or an elastic waistband. One drawback is that you may end up with snow in your pants if you take a spill on the slopes. ● Bibs are like overalls and are secured to your body by a pair of suspenders. They also have extra fabric that extends over your waist and chest. This can provide extra warmth and help keep your pants in pl...

Amongst the most popular types of bicycles, there is hardly a starker contrast than from road bike to mountain bike. Their frames look completely different, one has fat tyres while the other has skinny ones, the handlebars are vastly different shapes, and… is that suspension?   There are more differences between road bikes and mountain bikes than there are similarities, yet they are two of the most popular styles of bikes. Many riders crossover and ride both (not at the same time), and there are even professional riders who compete in explosive cross-country mountain biking and six-hour road races. In this article, we’re going to dive into the similarities between road bikes and mountain bikes, and why you might choose one over the other.   There’s a lot more to it than the shapes and components themselves, but let’s start with the most basic question: when would you ride a road bike versus a mountain bike?   Purpose of road bikes and mountain bikes Road bikes  are d...

  Plug gauges are available in several different types. These include: Go plug gauges No-go plug gauges Combination go/no-go plug gauges Go plug gauges and no-go plug gauges are called single-ended gauges and consist of a handle into which a precisely machined pin or shaft has been inserted (sometimes called a member) and which is used to verify an aspect of the dimensional tolerances of the hole. For single-ended gauges, they are usually offered in pairs with one go gauge and one no-gauge gauge. In its use, a go plug gauge is designed to test the minimum dimensional limit of the hole (i.e. the lower tolerance of the hole ’ s diameter) which represents the maximum amount of remaining material on the part or workpiece. For an acceptance condition, the go plug gauge should fit in the hole. If the go plug gauge will not fit into the hole in the workpiece, then that is an indication that the hole ’ s diameter is too small (an insufficient amount of material has been removed from the wo...

  With the rapid development of optical communication, more and more fiber optic cables are increasingly used in different environments. What if under harsh conditions? Then it's crucial to ensure your cables smooth and reliable operation when transmitting data. This is where armoured cable comes into play. An armoured cable, as its name suggests, is protected against mechanical damage, whereas an unarmoured cable not being protected. What is the difference between them? And why should we choose armored cable over unarmoured cable? You my find answer in this post.   Amoured Cable Overview   Armoured cable has an extra layer of protection to keep it from being cut or abraded. The armor layer of coax cable is a foil wrap that is ribbed like corrugated metal to allow for flexibility, around the inside and outside of that wrap is a flooding compound to keep moisture from penetrating the cable and causing an impairment. The internal structure of 4 core armoured cable consists ...

Precision molding  is the latest technology in the field of plastic injection molding. Precision molding is a type of plastic molding that is the most expensive and complex mold design process on the market.   Injection molding companies have never used the precision molding process for the entire product development process. It is only used in small, rare instances in the manufacturing process when product development requires an exceptionally precise form of plastic injection molding.   About Precision Molding As mentioned earlier, precision injection molding is a highly technical process that requires the use of precision molds and precision machinery. The precision molding process is different from traditional injection molding technology. The process is necessary to develop precision plastic parts with complex geometries that can replace high-precision metal parts in a variety of industrial applications.   The precision of the parts depends to a large extent on ...

  Because there's nothing worse than running out of batteries. Gone are the days of our old favourite toys filling up our kids' bedrooms. Now it's all about the latest tech and newest gadgets taking up their play time. However, one thing that will never go out of fashion are those wooden toys you once loved as a child. They're charming, timeless and simply beautiful to look at but if you need more reasons to choose  wooden toys  then here's our top 5: 1. They're Much More Durable Than Plastic Toys Have you ever seen a toddler carefully place their favourite toys back inside their toy box? Nope, we haven't either. Instead you can find them spread all over the living room floor, hiding in the back garden and there's also bound to be a few stuck in between the couch cushions. We can't really blame this reckless behaviour, but we can buy toys that can withstand it. Where plastic toys tend to break and become brittle, wooden toys can handle the natural we...
