Kanga Tek Personal Holder
Nov 9, 2009
Guys have a real dilemma when looking for compact carriers for money, change and small odds and ends. Beyond the traditional wallet or money clip, there aren't too many options beyond throwing the stuff in a messenger bag or a backpack. The Kanga Tek personal holder, a simple shoulder sling with zippered pockets, gives people another choice.

Gregory Maya pack
Aug 17, 2009
This spring, Gregory came out with a snazzy new line of eight daypacks with what the company calls Bio-sync, a suspension system modeled after human tendons. In short, the shoulder straps and each side of the hip belt have two swaths of fabric that attach to the main body of the pack. The goal: to allow the pack to move with you, not against you. We tested the line's largest women's pack, the Gregory Maya, a 17-liter job designed for long day hikes, running or cycling excursions.

GoLite HydroSwift and HydroSprint bottle packs
Oct 6, 2008
For a runner, few things are more annoying than water bottle carriers that flop around when you’re on the go. GoLite has addressed the issue with its No Bounce bottle packs, available in six models. (Three of the packs include one bottle, and three include two bottles.) We tested both the HydroSwift and the HydroSprint models.

Osprey Talon 33 Pack
Oct 29, 2007
Finding the perfect versatile pack is a dicey proposition. Even an ultra light, ultra minimal overnight bag is usually too big for much else. And versatile daypacks often lack the type of technical features that make the best light-and-fast overnight bags so successful. Osprey's Talon 33 manages to combine all the best features of a quick overnight bag with all the ease and versatility of a go-to daypack.

SealLine Storm Sack
Aug 27, 2007
Of all the household products used on the trail, Hefty trash bags remain popular as backpackers continue to use them to line packs and protect gear from rain. Unfortunately, trash bags can suffer plenty of wear and tear after a few journeys and they're not environmentally friendly. Mounds of bags that wind up in landfills, and it takes decades for them decompose, so it's not a bad idea to consider a more sustainable option, such as the SealLine Storm Sack.

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.
