The UA Meridian line of performance wear is great – let’s look at the newest addition, the Women’s UA Meridian Joggers. What’s a “jogger”? This is a soft, cozy workout pant with a generous, relaxed fit. Why a jogger in the gym? Comfort – and no restrictions on your movement.

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Women’s UA Meridian Crop – Cropped Workout Legging

The UA Meridian line of performance wear is great – let’s look at the newest addition, the Women’s UA Meridian Crop. What’s a “crop”? It’s like a Capri, basically. Capris are cropped pants where the leg ends just above the ankle. They can help keep you cooler – and they are a trendy look right now (and for the future.) Just remember that they tend to “shorten” your legs – so they can be somewhat unflattering on the wrong physique. These are hot – get them now at Under Armour.com (We are an affiliate): Let’s take a look. Women’s UA Meridian Crop Workout Legging – Overview Ok, so these are cropped workout pants, like capris. What’s special about these? These are from UA’s Meridian line of performance workout wear. What can you do with these? Anything really – Yoga, HIIT, CrossFit, and of course – just plain lounging around the house. These are very comfortable, so we won’t blame you if you never want to take them off.

Here’s our review of the GORUCK TAC Hat. Yep, it’s a hat. But seriously – this is a good hat you may want to pick up. We’ll explain further here. This is a tactical hat – so that means it is basically a baseball cap with a velcro patch area up front. But there’s more to talk about, so read on. Here’s some of the things we’ll be looking at in this GORUCK TAC hat review, including accessories: All right, let’s take a look. GORUCK TAC Hat – it’s a Tactical Hat First off, let’s discuss what a tactical hat is. It’s a baseball cap – but it has a hook and loop (velcro) area up front for patches. Why patches? Well, you can identify yourself or show a bit of style. Some tactical hats have velcro up front, and in the back – but not this one, it’s front only. That’s ok to me, because the front is all I need. As you can see from this side view, the hat is made from 6 separate panels. But, there [Read more …]

UA Velociti 2 Running Shoe Review

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on UA Velociti 2 Running Shoe Review

Let’s get hands-on with the UA Velociti 2 running shoe from Under Armour. This is a neutral running shoe that uses UA’s HOVR foam – for a cushioned and energetic feel. UA likes to call it the “zero gravity feel.” Is this the right running shoe for you? We’ll try to give you some insights in this review. Here’s some of the styles that are available now (we are an Under Armour affiliate): Let’s take a look. UA HOVR Velociti 2 Running Shoe – Fit & Sizing This shoe runs true to size. I bought a Men’s Size 11 and the fit is good. I wear an 11 in most Reebok and Nike running shoes – so hopefully that gives you some grounds for comparison. The length and width are right where I’d expect them to be. It’s not a super-wide shoe – but I don’t have wide feet. I’d recommend you order in your regular shoe size. UA HOVR Foam – “Zero Gravity” Cushioning System This shoe uses UA’s HOVR™ technology. It’s a light-weight and crisp foam cushioning system [Read more …]

April 28, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on Reebok Nano X Cross Training Shoe Now Available

Reebok has launched the Reebok Nano X (Get it now!) – the 10th iteration of their excellent CrossFit training shoe. It is available now to Reebok Unlocked members – but will be available globally on May 5th. (Please note we are a Reebok affiliate). We’ve ordered two pairs (both mens and womens) with express shipping. Check back here for a full hands-on review, and on our YouTube channel soon. In the meantime, here’s take a close look at what’s new with this CrossFit shoe. Here’s some of the launch styles that are available now: While we wait, let’s take a look. Let’s start with the side profile – the Nano x is taller – specifically in the heel and tongue/collar. The upper is “upgraded Flexweave” – it looks different than the original Flexweave. It’s described as being a soft woven textile upper. Reebok is claiming a “minimal drop outsole.” At the moment, I’m assuming that means it is unchanged from the Nano 9 at 4 millimeters. (The “heel to toe drop”, “offset”, or “profile” all refer to the height difference [Read more …]
