Goodhew socks
Nov 30, 2009
Just a little more than a year old, the Goodhew sock company has its feet firmly planted in the outdoor industry. The company has also set itself apart from the competition by focusing on a tight line of lifestyle socks, rather than making the usual wide range of sport-specific models.

Thorlo Experia Multi-Sport Socks
Sep 14, 2009
Thorlo was once the go-to brand when it came to socks for all-things active, but the shine began to wear off in recent years. This year, Thorlo brought out its new Experia multi-sport socks and won us over once again.

Manzella Power Stretch glove
Feb 2, 2009
For people who tend to be warm, it's difficult to find the perfect glove for high-energy activities like running or hiking in cold weather, because gloves tend to feel too toasty once a hot-blooded person has been moving a while. Yet these human heaters sometimes want or need to protect their hands from cold temperatures, wind or moisture. So, the SNEWS® crew was stoked to test Manzella's Power Stretch Glove.

VO Workhorse Gloves
Feb 28, 2007
Following the SIA SnowSports Show, one of our veteran SNEWS® product testers had an opportunity to test a pair of VO's (Vaughn Outdoors) Workhorse long gauntlet leather gloves with the CZIP design. The CZIP design incorporates a curved zipper across the back of the glove just behind the knuckles that allows the wearer to slip his or her fingers out to make gear adjustments without having to take the entire glove off. While the idea looked a little too gimmicky to our team at first blush, our tester discovered quickly on the first test during a backcountry ski that the CZIP is an unqualified winner.

X-Socks: Running
Oct 16, 2006
We don't normally wax on poetically about a particular brand of socks. X-Socks are relatively new in North America and doesn't have the market recognition or penetration as the name and company does in its home region in Europe. The X-Socks are channeled, knit, ribbed, cushioned and contoured in so many different ways and places, we can't begin to explain it all here.

Injinji Performance Socks
Mar 20, 2006
The SNEWS® team first got wind of this company several years ago, but it took us a while to muster up the desire to put what essentially amounts to gloves on our feet. After all, many of us have worn or seen those silly rainbow toe socks folks used to wear back in the hippie '70s. Cute? Maybe. Comfortable? Not really.

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.
