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.

Let’s look at some of the best men’s workout shorts for CrossFit and other HIIT training – the Hylete Helix II shorts. Hylete makes performance wear – and the Helix II is part of their performance apparel line. These are shorts made for active individuals. And we’ll tell you just how they do this. Here’s the products we’ll be reviewing. Ok, let’s take a close-up look. Helix II Workout Shorts for Men – Fit & Cut First of all, these are performance shorts designed specifically for workouts.
