Gear Review: Tec Touch Gloves by 180s

E-mail Print PDF

180s UltraLite CRG

Almost everyone now is tied to some kind of electronic device, and lets face it most of them now have a touch screen. The problem with touch screens in the winter is normally you have to remove your glove to operate the device and that can be cold. And if you are anything like me, you will be checking emails or answering your phone even when it is cold outside.

Fall Gear Guide: Running

E-mail Print PDF

Cortana

Fall is a great time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. I love fall because the temperature drops and the summer heat gives way to brisk mornings and cool evenings. For me it has always been a lot more enjoyable to run in 50-60 degrees compared to 90-100 degrees. That said, if one is not prepared for it to be a little cooler, running outside can be miserable. Having the right gear can make or break the best fall training plan. The products in this guide are geared to help you succeed at your fall training plan and help you get out and run.

My Running Gear

The Nike Zoom Vomero+ 4 Men's Running Shoe is a great running shoe, I love the soft cushioning ride this shoe gives. I have been running in it since it came out and it has held up well after putting many miles on it. This shoe makes my feet feel like they are home. And who doesn't like to be home.  The shoes' mesh breathes well and gives you a nice airy felling.  If you are a Nike lover and have had the Motto or any other upper end Nike shoe I think that you will love this one. I have the Nike Zoom Vomero 3 as well, and alternate between these two shoes. The one difference I have noticed between the Vomero 3 and Vomero 4, is that the Vomero 3 gives a more cushioned ride. THe Vomero 4 was named "Best Update" by Runner's World magazine. I think that everyone should try to put some mile in this shoe. Nike has my vote.
