NIKE iD custom Nike Shox running shoes

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

I love Nike. I know they have not always been that cool about sweatshops, etc, but their products really are great and they have built an amazing corp culture.

Their shoes also fit my skinny, relatively flat-arched foot really well. My running shoes get a lot of punishment but my Nike Air Max's and Shox hold up really well. I run in them, as well as take them on my various outdoor activities (ie approach shoes, etc)

Plus, you can design your own using Nike iD which is totally cool.

Oh Red Bull where would I be without you? I love it when you just need an extra boost. Once I pulled a double all nighter with the help of Red Bull.

A Soldier of the Great War by Mark Helprin

First to recommend

Description

I am not usually a fiction fan, but this is one of my all-time favorite books, ever. It is a huge, beautifully written, and rousing meditation on life, love, strife, aesthetics, adventure, and living authentically.

HIGHLY recommended. The protagonist is also a climber which is a big plus for me.

Revo RE 3039 Curve Sunglasses

First to recommend

Description

My current favorite sunglasses maker. Lots of good styles. Mostly, I really like their lens quality, especially their polarized lenses- really good at cutting glare. Plus the polarization turns the sky different colors as you tilt your head- vaguely trippy effect.

Pick a color, any color. These Nalgene water bottles are absolutely impossible to destroy. Through the car ride, the Polo Field, the cold and the heat, your Nalgene will keep you hydrated all weekend.

Hammer Gel Endurance Fuel

First to recommend

Description

For when your bonking- or preventing muscle cramps, Hammer Gel is the best stuff around. I like the apple-cinnamon best. Put it in a little squeeze bottle for rides. For surfing, I like to bring some individual packs w/me out in the line-up so I can recharge w/out going in to the beach. Individual packs are good for longish multi-pitches too.

iZAP Portable Energy battery adds 28 hours of battery life to an iPod Nano

First to recommend

Description

This is one awesome little device. I love my nano but it seems to run out of power too easily. I guess I could bring a charger everywhere but I think just having the long-lasting battery is a more elegant solution. Great for extended outdoor trips.

Plus, the device is eco-friendly so I like that too. (via Treehugger)
