Nike Boots (almost) Ready for Lunar Landing

The new Nike Lunarterra Arktos books look truly out of this world. The modular books appear to be ready for a cold hostile environment, and while that might not be the moon these will get through the upcoming winter. These feature a Lunarlon midsole that means lighter weight, but with improved comfort and movement of the foot; while the Vac Tec molding helps create a serious seal – it might not endure the vacuum of space but it will keep rain, snow and slush out. Ideal for hiking or just shoveling the driveway these boots will offer stability and keep the feet warm.

Nike also reminds us that “arktos” is ancient Greek for “bear” and is where the term “Arctic” is derived. In other words these arctic ready boots will be good cold weather – and they’ll arrive just in time.

Join the New Belong

The industry-backed Bikes Belong Foundation has changed its name to PeopleForBikes, and with that the Boulder, Colo., organization is looking to get one million people on board.

“I am for bikes. I’m for long rides and short rides. I’m for commuting to work, weekend rides, racing, riding to school, or just a quick spin around the block. I believe that no matter how I ride, biking makes me happy and is great for my health, my community and the environment we all share. That is why I am pledging my name in support of a better future for bicycling—one that is safe and fun for everyone. By uniting my voice with a million others, I believe that we can make our world a better place to ride.”

Safety First

Bill Simpson is known as the “godfather of safety” within the auto racing industry and he has taken his knowledge with Simpson Performance Products and Impact! Racing to the gridiron. He is looking to transform football the way he did with racing.

The result is SG Helmets, a football helmet manufacturing company that he created with former CART driver Chip Ganassi. Unlike typical football helmets the SG Helmets are unique in the sense that the liner is made from a blend of expanded polypropylene foams, and thus forms one continuous pad throughout the inside of the helmet, leaving no space unpadded. SG Helmets further weigh about half as much as an average football helmet, relieving unnecessary stress on players heads, necks and shoulders.

Serious Headlight

Fenix doesn’t mess around when it comes to providing some illumination, and the new HP25 features two individual Cree XP-E LEDs; one that is a spot light while the other is a serious flood light. Each light has its own control, and these are designed to be easily found by touch.

The 90-degree flood offers four variances while the spot offers three, and with click the brightness increases, so you won’t find yourself blinding everyone in a dark room when you power this one up. Of course for the ultimate illumination there is the ability to combine the flood and spot where each generates 180 lumens! The Fenix HP25 features an IPX-6 rating for waterproofing so it will stand up to rain and even some downpours, so this one is ideal for those who want to hike at night or really need to find something around the campsite after dark.

These new bags expand on the collection and combines three stand bags and three cart bags to conveniently cater to any golfer’s preferences.

To the Point

There are boats that fold up, but these still only break down and build up to a specific size. The Point 65N Modular Kayak not only does the break down thing, but it can change size depending on your need.

Looking to hit the rapids or want to go lake fishing? No problem – this kayak can add or remove a section as necessary. The modular, snap-together design makes it easy to customize but doesn’t affect buoyancy or handling. And because it breaks down it is easy to transport. This is a kayak that lets you get straight to the water and that’s straight to the point.

No More Lost At Sea

When you drop something on the beach you can pick it up, but when you drop something when you’re in the water scuba diving it typically means you’ll need to call James Cameron and his deep sea exploration gear to get it back. Next time you’re heading out to the deep water be sure to clip on the Gear Keeper RT4 line of attachment systems.

These feature streamline smaller-sized retractors that are there to give divers some peace of mind that equipment will be where it is needed and with less bulkiness. Divers can grab and use and more importantly know that the gear will retract back into place and not end up at the bottom of the ocean.

The series includes a patented flushing system that clears sand and debris from the unit, is salt-water proof and will withstand high-temperature environments. Continue reading No More Lost At Sea

Speak Up

“What did you say? I couldn’t hear you! That’s because I’m wearing headphones that block the outside world.”

We’ve all been there in one way or another, but Lou Tortola of Windsor, Canada is looking to change this with the AudioPLUX speaker system for cyclist. Tortola is now looking to Kickstarter to develop these speakers, which are meant to be “away from the ear” while still providing solid audio quality.

The idea is that these won’t suppress ambient sounds, but will still let you enjoy the tunes. Video after the jump

Bravo, the Case to Cheer

Bravo is typically used to express approval when a performer or other person has done something well, but few are likely to express approval when their iPhone 5 meets with a disaster. However, Bike2Power has announced that it will distribute the fully waterproof and shockproof Bravo case for the handset. It can protect the device from water, dust, dirt, mud, snow and impact.

It is waterproof down to six feet, and can withstand the impact of a free fall from more than six feet on a hard concrete floor at multiple angles. Despite all this heavy protect the company notes that all the phone features are fully accessible.

Now that is something to cheer.

Chopping at the Bit

There are plenty of durable and very secure bike locks on the market, but one problem is that if you lose the key you’re bike isn’t exactly accessible. However, Mehrdad Majzoobi is looking to launch a Kickstarter project for the BitLock, which turns a smartphone into the key for the lock.

This works with iOS and Android and takes advantage of Bluetooth technology. In addition to providing a secure key that you hopefully won’t use, it also records the location of the bike lock via GPS, which can allow multiple users to “share” a bike and find it when it is needed.

We’ll be sure to watch this project and let readers know when it goes live.

Don’t Leave Without the Sleeve

We think of sleeves as being something for the arms, but the 2XU Compression Performance Run Sleeves are worn on the legs, and these feature a zoned breathability panel for maximum airflow and comfort. This gradient panel provides increased blood flow and maximum muscle containment.

These can be used for endurance activities and workout sessions as well as for putting in the miles on the road. These promise improved race times and faster recovery, along with reduced muscle fatigue and can even help minimize shin splints.
