NAOMI "THE PUNISHER" HUDETZ YA FAVORITE PCT GEAR:

SITA MOON DESIGNS SILVER SHADOW CARBON ULTRALIGHT MWAVULI

Hakuna swali juu ya hii - kipande changu cha kupenda kwenye PCT kilikuwa Chrome Dome Umbrella yangu. Nimekuwa nikijitahidi kila wakati katika joto (hata kama mtoto mdogo), na ulinzi wa jua uliotolewa na dome ya Litecoin ni kibadilishaji cha mchezo kwangu.

Jua katika Kusini mwa California ni kali zaidi kuliko nilivyozoea nyumbani kwangu Pasifiki Kaskazini Magharibi, kwa hivyo kuiweka mbali kichwa changu na mwili wa juu ni muhimu. Pia inamaanisha sio lazima nivae kofia yangu ya jua wakati wa kutumia mwavuli, ambayo inanipoa zaidi.

Endelea kusoma makala kamili hapa.
