Mammut Alpine Underwear
Dec 7, 2009
In the past few years, we’ve seen the growing popularity of “body mapping,” in which garments include a variety of panels made of various materials to regulate temperature and manage moisture. Mammut employs this concept in its Alpine Underwear, available in two weights for men and women.

Injinji Yoga Socks
Aug 10, 2009
Anyone who has worked up a good sweat practicing yoga (or, for that matter, Pilates, Tai Chi or various martial arts) knows that foot traction can become an issue, even when using a sticky mat or exercising on a good wood floor. Injinji’s Yoga socks (both in toeless and full toe styles) have tiny rubber nubbins on their base for better grip.

Icebreaker GT180 Chase Zip
Jan 26, 2009
We at SNEWS® know that merino and wool apparel is quite the trend. Although we’ve tried a lot of tops for high-aerobic activity – some pretty good, some really not so good – we haven’t found one we truly love…until now. We love the Icebreaker GT180 long sleeve half-zip top.

ExOfficio Tofutech Tee Shirt
Jul 9, 2007
Suppliers of natural soy fabric, derived from the plant stock of soybeans, boast that it resists odor and bacteria naturally, wicks moisture, resists wrinkling, dries quickly and has a very soft feel or what is known as “hand” in technical parlance. In fact, when we first noticed an ExOfficio shirt made with soy in a trade show booth in early 2007, we commented that it was one of the first T-shirts we'd seen that felt luscious—almost like a lightweight cashmere. We had to have one to test.

White Sierra Tecta Shirt
May 14, 2007
For the past few years, apparel companies have searched for materials that kill odor without killing the planet. To avoid man-made chemicals that aren't so eco-friendly, they've turned to a variety of antimicrobials that are derived from natural stuff, such as coconut husks and amino acids. Some products, such as White Sierra's Tecta shirt, fight odors with fabrics made from bamboo.

Fitnex E55SG Elliptical
Sep 14, 2011
So many ellipticals can be large and pricy, and the though the smaller ones may have a lower price tag, what they give up to get there makes for a more wobbly ride that’s not as much fun. The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard.
