Gearing up for the endurance season? Our experts have picked out the products you need to know about for 2012!
You can keep those arms pumping continuously because your hands won’t be needed to readjust the fit of these secure earbuds. A three-button mic allows you to reduce the music’s volume so you can hear the roar of the crowd along your route.
There are water bottles, and there is this innovation for those wishing to rehydrate with the purest H20 possible. Fill it with tap water, press a power button that activates a UV light, watch a 60-second countdown as the bottle rotates to neutralize contaminants.
Stability and a lighter weight do not always go hand-in-hand — or foot in shoe. This pair promises both, offering comfort and durability, making them an ideal fit for marathoning. No need to risk a muscle pull hopping over puddles; they will keep out moisture.
Annoyed by that bulky pack on your back? This is 20% smaller than TYR’s standard-sized bag, yet has pockets galore for storage, a swimsuit hangar and a spacious wet-dry compartment. Seven color combinations improves your chances for fashion coordination.
If Norse mythology can be believed, there was a god of thunder named Thunder who wore a winged helmet — not nearly as advanced as this one. This thunder-inspired cycling helmet might not make you lightning-fast but will protect you stylishly.
You’ve got to hand it to Asics for designing this eye-catching psychedelic glove for cold-weather activity. Includes a pocket in back for storing small items. The glove’s thumb has a terry surface that Asics says — honestly — facilitates wiping your runny nose.
For the swimmer willing to go out on a fashion limb, TYR manufactures an assortment of offbeat headgear, none more eccentric than the mutant zombie option. Fits snugly to reduce drag and resistance. Slips on and off easily. Zombies need not bother.
Neither high wind nor rain — okay, maybe sleet or snow — can keep triathletes off their bikes and feet. Such conditions are more tolerable in this lightweight water-proof garment. A sealed zipper in the front and heat-sealing seams provides protection.
Belt it out of the park with this belt that includes two 24-ounce bottles for liquid replenishment and a pair of five-ounce flasks for energy gel. A pocket has room to store other essentials. Cinches on the side. There should be no wasted effort with this bad boy.
It’s kind of a drag to struggle with drag in the water from ill-fitting garb. That’s no sweat with this wetsuit, designed to help the swimmer maintain optimal body position and minimize erosion of strength. Special ankle cuffs allow for quick removal to save time.
Boxers or briefs? The timeless question on undergarment preference for men applies to distance competition, too. With tags removed, a chafe-free fit is promised, and “sculpted leg openings” assure movement freely.
Stop the press! Compression apparel for triathletes and runners does not just apply to the waist up. The legs beg for attention, too. Designed to heighten recovery by increasing circulation. Focuses on hamstrings, quads, calves and shins.
As opposed to a stopwatch, this is a “go” watch, with many functions. The highlights: a 15-workout downloadable memory, five interval timers, hydration and nutrition reminders, recovery heart rate timer, five alarms, GPS technology. Whew!
This is not your grandfather’s zoot suit. Zoot makes a cycling jersey and bib that combine into a hot-on-wheels outfit. Silicone gripper on each item gives a secure fit. Ventilation and moisture absorption is a plus, and the jersey contains three pockets.
