<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This summer if you are running on the road or through the woods, the following products could make your runs a little more enjoyable. We searched for some of the gear that has impressed us this year. The gear in this guide is definitely worth checking out to see if it will be a good fit for you. Throughout this guide we will indicate if the product comes in a male or female specific version. Hope this guide comes in handy while out looking for some new running gear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reebok RealFlex<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reebok RealFlex has 76 independent sensors on the bottom of the shoe strategically positioned to twist, bend, expand, and support to help your feet move naturally. Features: This trail blazing shoe is a must have for every trail runner. It\u2019s minimal, low profile and has incredible responsiveness and traction on uneven surfaces. The Peregrine is built on the same foot-form as the Saucony Kinvara and features a 4mm heel drop. The multi-direction lugs provide a sticky grip, so you can focus and feel your way through any terrain.<\/p>\n Features: The Ultra is an innovative, dual density barely-there cage for the foot. Weighing in at just over 100g, the Ultra features elastic laces and molded eyelets – easy to pull on and pull tight for serious action.\u00a0Ideal for light trail runs or watersports, and good looking enough to wear in the city – this diverse ultra-lightweight shoe redefines the minimalist running game.<\/p>\n Features: Reebok ZigTech Short Sleeve Tee<\/strong><\/p>\n ZigTech apparel is all about energy. ZigTech apparel is made with special fibers called Celliant, a collection of natural minerals that take energy emitted by the body and recycle it back into the body. This means oxygen levels increase an average of 7% and encourages increased blood circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n Features: The Interval 2-1 short is a little longer to give you a little more coverage as you run. An interior compression short holds to the body to give support, while the microdenier Ultrasilk shell is both lightweight and breathable.<\/p>\n Features: The Salomon XT Wings sock provides 360* arch and ankle support, and seamless comfort. Knitted with NanoGlide, the sock has built in hydrophobic PTFE nano particles, which provide wicking through micro channels and increases fiber strength for extreme durability. NanoGlide performs for the life of the sock, it does not wash out. The ankle collar also features reflective yarn for low light conditions.<\/p>\n Features: Lorpen Tri-Layer Trail Light Sock<\/strong><\/p>\n Ideal for all weather trail running, the Lorpen Trail Runner sock optimizes the benefits of trail running shoes and adapts perfectly to the foot to ensure that the skin stays dry and blister free. The first layer, closest to the skin, is made of Coolmax, a synthetic fiber that is designed to move\u00a0moisture away from the skin. The second layer, or middle layer, is made of Tencel, a natural fiber able to hold significant amounts of moisture once it has passed through the Coolmax layer. The third layer, made of Nylon, is highly durable making the sock resilient and long lasting. The Lorpen Trail Runner is a \u201cshorty\u201d height sock to prevent trail debris from getting in the sock.<\/p>\n Features: This lightweight low sock is cushioned only where you need it and will stay put. It delivers optimal performance and comfort while you pound the pavement! One of the features that set this sock apart from other is the deep heel pocket \u2013 it is shaped like your heel to lock the sock in place. These socks are built to last.<\/p>\n Features: New for spring 2011, this hat is designed to keep runners safe while out on early morning or evening runs.\u00a0Smart design details such as the retro reflective stripe that runs from front to back and the retro reflective logo, reflects light back to its source increasing a runner’s visibility to at least 300 feet.<\/p>\n Features: The new 2011 Sport Utility Stroller broadens your trail-blazing horizons with a host of enhancements, including a more robust suspension system; an all-new accessory adapter; an ultra-padded, redesigned seat; a contemporary new look; and an adjustable five-point padded harness. Knobby tires and high-impact polymer composite wheels maximize traction, while a fixed front wheel provides increased stability for hiking, jogging or when the trail gets rough. And a durable, yet lightweight, easy-fold frame makes it easier to transport the Sport Utility Stroller to beaches, trails, gravel paths or wherever your adventure cravings lead.<\/p>\n Features: If you haven’t yet tried GU and you are getting serious with your training, the Sampler Pack is a great start. Every ingredient within these products serves a critical purpose during exercise. The entire GU lineup is designed to work together so you can go longer and finish stronger in training and on race day. The Sampler contains at least one flavor of every product in the GU Energy lineup. In most cases you’ll get a variety of flavors and always a sample of the new flavors. The Sampler includes details on each product and ideas for using them together to achieve your goals.<\/p>\n![\"J83157_RealFlex-Run_sole\"](\"images\/stories\/J83157_RealFlex-Run_sole.jpg\")
