Gotta Get GATOR!, By
This review is from: Gator (DVD)
Gator is pure guilty pleasure. Burt Reynolds directed and stared in this 1976 follow up to the excellent WHITE LIGHTNING. This time the feds don't want Gator for running moonshine, but to go undercover to get evidence on his boyhood pal Bama McCall (Jerry Reed). Lots of action , fighting, boat chases and Reynolds signature style. The movie gets 5 stars but not the DVD. The transfer is incredible compared to the old VHS tape, but sadly the DVD is only FULL FRAME the movie was shot in SCOPE, so most of the picture is cropped off. It would have been nice to have a commentary track from at least Burt Reynolds, since this was his first directorial debut.

Enjoy the movie, not the format,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gator (DVD)
I have always enjoyed Burt Reynolds movies and "Gator" is no exception. Oh sure, don't expect any of Burt's offerings to be placed in nomination for any awards, but they are extremely entertaining and always action oriented.I'm however saddened that the powers-to-be have again chosen to put yet another Burt Reynolds DVD movie out in that dreaded "full screen" format. I just don't understand the rational for some of his best movies like "Sharky's Machine" and "Hooper" and now "Gator" to be released like this. To me, it is akin to buying a "Rolls Royce" with a VW engine. You will thoroughly enjoy the movie if don't have any preference as to it's format, but I will never again knowingly purchase a DVD in full screen format when it should be in it's theatrically released format, because for me, that is one of the important reasons I am buying DVD's in the first place.

Gator, By Tomcat (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gator (DVD)
This was one of those movies I enjoyed watching, and would watch over again and again, it's quick paced, full of action, and light comedy, I would suggest this to anyone. I would have bought this along with White lightning, which came out before Gator. But Alas the Studio's blew it again, by only releasing this and White Lightning in full screen format.So out of my basket they went. My message to the powers to be at the studio's if your going to release DVD's such as these good fun movies, release them in both widescreen and fullscreen, you might sell more copies. But what do I know I am only a consumer. |

Great for cold weather riding/wearing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chaos -CTR Chinook Micro Fleece Neck Gaiter/Tube, Black, One Size (Apparel)
It's more tube shaped than it looks on the picture. Great quality product, really protects against cold air when riding, and the thing is light as a feather so you can leave it on with no problems, surprisingly, it does not slip down when you put your helmet on, but it's not vein-occluding tight, great buy. Maybe one thing I could ask for is less fluff attraction, but hey, for 10 bucks I couldn't ask for more. Again, great choice.

This review is from: Chaos -CTR Chinook Micro Fleece Neck Gaiter/Tube, Black, One Size (Apparel)
This neck gaiter is exactly what I needed for my hiking and camping to finish out my warm gear. I had tried balaclava's but found them restrictive. This was perfect. I could bunch it around my neck comfortably or pull it up over my face and be quite happy. It was warm and cut the wind. I have no complaints.

Good for Mildly Cold Weather, By Speedbump1981 (New Berlin, WI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chaos -CTR Chinook Micro Fleece Neck Gaiter/Tube, Black, One Size (Apparel)
To be fair in this review, I must admit that I wear this gaiter over my mouth and nose, which is why I only dropped 1 star...In Chilly temperatures over 25 Degrees Fahrenheit, with little wind, this fleece neck gaiter does the trick. It's not too heavy and breaths well. However, those are the biggest downsides in sub 25 Degree weather with windy conditions. Under those conditions I can feel the cold wind blowing right through the Gaiter and chilling my face and giving me the sniffles. Not exactly ideal for the "harshest elements". For a neck warmer, it's great! For a face warmer, not so much. |
