There are many things that Athletes are looking for, one of course is a heads-up display. Too many times we look down to get our statistics. Mojo Vision plans to change that, partnerships include Adidas Running (running/training), Trailforks (cycling, hiking/outdoors), Wearable X (yoga), Slopes (snow sports) and 18Birdies (golf). Pretty good partnerships to try and see if this is worth it.

MW x Tracksmith, RUN COMMUTE PACK
A great solution that many of us need at this time. Running with a pack is tough, a pack that is weighted down is tougher.
Mission Workshop is trying to check that box. With the hip lock support ad a tight fit it seems as though they have. It is big, tight, and waterproof. Being from NE, being water-resistant is something that is first on the list. As we start to get back to "normal" many commuters will consider running or biking to work, to stay out of a train, bus or Subway.
San Francisco meets Boston with the creation of the MW X Tracksmith Run Commute Pack. Designed for maximum comfort while cycling, running or hiking. Waterproof, lightweight, and breathable with space for a laptop, hydration reservoir, water bottle, and spare clothes. Height-adjustable waist and shoulder straps along with an internal frame sheet align to keep the pack stable when you’re logging miles. The addition of a tonal reflective stripe is subtle yet highly visible to passing vehicles as the days get shorter. Also includes a removable padded laptop sleeve.
The worst part is the Price $238, check it out.

Blitzart Electric Longboard
When you travel long distances, over 3 miles, I could use a bit more power. Tornado Electric Longboard has a 3-month limited warranty. Any defects due to workmanship to the motor, battery and internal electronics are covered by this warranty. The warranty does not cover user damage. Extended warranty is also available. At $279 MSRP, it is a great board, for beginners. I'm ready to step it up and most people will want to after 100 miles.
For kids, this is a great board.
Specs: TORNADO Electric Longboards - Orange
With my weight 160 pounds, the board does about 17 and close to 10 miles.
- RANGE AND SPEED – With a max speed of up to 17 MPH and a range of over 10 miles. Equipped with a secured 36V, 4.4Ah and 144Wh Lithium-Ion battery pack which can be fully charged within 3 hours.
- ERGONOMIC WIRELESS REMOTE - Easy to hold wireless remote that controls acceleration and deceleration with reverse capability. Two-speed modes to beginners and advanced riders. Hold function to assist in getting on and off the board. The remote control is rechargeable and comes with a wrist strap.
- MAPLE WOOD + BAMBOO DECK & PREMIUM GRIP TAPE - The 6-ply maple wood deck sandwiched between a layer of bamboo on the top and bottom of the board giving it more flexibility and sturdiness. The deck is outfitted with grip tape and is concave to keep the rider's feet firmly in place and stay on the board. Supports up a max weight of 300 lb.
- 350W BRUSHLESS HUB-MOTOR - Hub Motor vs Belt Drive Motor? Hub motors are more reliable and less problematic. Our hub motors give the board an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the overall design. Hub-motors are much quieter than belt driven motors. More importantly, the hub motors board can be kicked like a regular board with or without battery.
- SHIPS FULLY ASSEMBLED AND READY TO RIDE - Save yourself the time and hassle of the assembly when you can ride your board instantly out of the box.

Quiksilver Highline Airlift Vest
This hands down has to be the single most important piece of equipment that has come out in quite some time.
In my mind, this is not just for surfing, this is for all water sports, or at least most.
The Quiksilver Highline Airlift vest is designed for use by experienced adult surfers. Using it successfully requires strong swimming skills, ocean knowledge, collaboration with other surfers and lifeguards, and like the rest of your equipment — it must be cared for and used correctly. Proper use of the vest requires adherence to manufacturer’s instructions.
The Airlift vest is a safety tool, not a performance enhancer. Do not take greater risks while using this vest.
A new generation of big wave riding demands a new generation of water safety. That’s where the Airlift vest comes in. A culmination of years worth of research and development, the neoprene vest utilizes carbon-dioxide cartridges to help bring the wearer to the surface in heavy hold-down situations. It’s an innovative product designed for innovative surfing at the world’s heaviest waves.
Price not yet available.

Smith's New Helmets, AEROCORE, Are Better!
Overtake your competition with this revolutionary helmet. Providing maximum ventilation, superior aerodynamics, and improved protection, the Overtake is the ultimate racing helmet and a must have for any cyclist, in any event. Integrating proprietary technologies with best-in-class protection options, the AEROCORE™ construction featuring Koroyd® and MIPS® optional linings make the Overtake your ticket to ride.
Smith's objective and design philosophy behind AEROCORE™ construction is to increase airflow, improve temperature regulation resulting in fog-free vision and improve impact resistance. The objective was achieved through the combination of materials such as EPS and Koroyd®, a revolutionary new material that absorbs more energy upon impact when compared to international standards while increasing airflow. AEROCORE™ construction through the use of Koroyd® and EPS allows for more vents to be placed throughout the helmet without sacrificing protection and comfort.

Altra IQ, Now Were Getting Somewhere!
Everything is trying to connect your life and what you do. Nike tried this 10+ years ago, now Altra Running is integrating the electronics into the shoe itself. The price itself is a bit steep, but if you carry your phone and want to analyze every step you take this is the shoe to wear.
Impact Rate:
The Altra IQ's dual shoe sensors allow you to monitor how hard you hit the ground with each step. The app provides a view of your overall impact rate as well as your left to right balance, providing you with the live data and coaching tips that you need to react mid run, and ultimately helping you to become a lighter, more efficient, and balanced runner.
Cadence:
Cadence is the live "pulse" of your run and a key factor in your form, foot strike, and efficiency. Our live cadence tracking and timely coaching tips will help you keep your turnover at the appropriate rate for your current running pace, helping you become a more fluid running machine.
Ground Contact Time:
Ground Contact Time (GCT) is the amount of time each individual foot spends on the ground during your stride. GCT is a great informational metric to use in coordination with cadence and impact force/balance, helping you find the best stride for your body geometry.
Live Coaching:
- Virtually undetectable, razor-thin sensors are embedded in each of the shoe’s midsoles
- Live run-data is sent from the quad accelerometers to the Altra IQ App to be analyzed
- Just like a coach, the IQ experience monitors your movements and provides real-time coaching and feedback to improve and streamline your running technique.
This of course is just an app, now pair with shoes and BAM you have all the features live, however you must run with your phone.
Altra Running
"We've taken the Torin, our best-selling road shoe, and added IQ technology to provide you with live feedback on foot strike, cadence, impact rate and contact time. The Torin IQ's razor-thin footbed sensors provide onboard coaching to help you improve your technique and form on-the-run. The updated reflective upper and asymmetrical lacing allow you to enjoy your run in comfort and safety. This neutral workhorse has a 28 mm stack height and a smooth, forgiving, plush ride thanks to the responsive A-Bound™ compound in the midsole. Let your foot biomechanics work freely with the combination of the toe-wiggling FootShape™ toe box and the natural foot positioning allowed by the fully cushioned ZeroDrop™ platform."
At $220, you have to be serious.

Father's Day, Gifts!
Gear Patrol does a great job at finding all these. For Fathers day, they put a list together that is quite reasonable.
Ibex Pulse Short
For $68 this is a great deal and a piece of equipment that will last well beyond the sneakers he got last week. They have a merino wool liner that is bacteria resistant, breathable and moisture wicking.

WANDRD, One Of The Best Packs!
We are passionate photographers, travelers, commuters, creators, and explorers, and we needed a pack that could keep up with our adventurous lifestyle. But we also wanted it to look incredible, and the perfect combination of style and function wasn't out there, so we decided to make it.
When we set out, our goal wasn't just to create a great travel and camera bag. We wanted to encourage others to stop focusing on the monotony of daily life and to really live.
A great bag does more than carry your stuff. A great bag evokes action and facilitates adventure, all while being so intuitive, you forget it's even there.
No matter what you're doing, we build each bag with one purpose – to help you focus on the moment.
And that is why we offer:
Limited Lifetime Warranty – We stand behind our products. If there is a manufacturer defect, we will fix or replace it for free!
30 Day Return Policy – We get it, sometimes you need to sleep on it. And we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. That's why we have given you 30 days to change your mind and return what you bought. Just email us at returns@wandrd.com and we'll have you send the items back to us (with the tags still attached).
High Quality and Innovative Gear – We promise not to be content with mediocrity. We will only use the highest quality materials and will constantly look for ways to improve. In fact, we would love to hear your feedback and ideas for making our products even better. Email us at suggestions@wandrd.com.

Crazy Fast Tri Bike,
The Aero Core is the heart of Andean, and reflects our integrated design approach. This bike was designed from the center of the wheels—the least aerodynamic area—in towards the middle of the frame, then up. The Aero Core is the result: one large airfoil, it begins with the front wheel, transitions over the bottom bracket and exits off the rear wheel. Laminar flow across the entire system is improved, dramatically reducing drag at every yaw angle.
This is going to change everything, with thinking like this and everyone wanting to go faster, the ICU will have to make the change to the rules.

TRAK, For A Runners Safety!
TRAK is a safety device that all runners should have with them. You never know and being prepared, today, is extremely important.
Make sure your are! Kickstarter
TRAK is a patent pending, titanium knife designed to be used by anyone, anywhere, regardless of conditions or environment. TRAK was originally created to be used as a back up dive knife for commercial divers entangled in fishing lines. TRAK has been adopted by runners due to it being lightweight, easy to carry, and rust proof. The new TRAK was born.
At less than 1/2 oz, TRAK is the perfect choice for individuals with an active lifestyle that need an ultra lightweight knife. TRAK is the perfect knife for those running alone, biking, hiking, camping or just walking your dog. Regardless of the environment, TRAK can handle it! We found that TRAK not only came in handy in a marine environment, but found ourselves wearing it on our daily runs. With TRAK, you're never alone.
