Arctic Cool recently introduced the Instant Cooling apparel line for men and women, which utilizes Hydrofreeze technology designed to cool down your body while you exercise.

Where cotton tees have failed and the newest sweat-wicking fabrics only succeed to a degree, Hydrofreeze takes workout apparel to the next level of innovation. Cotton tees are effective for wicking but correspondingly disperse and absorb moisture, remaining heavy and damp for hours. While newer synthetic fabrics efficiently wick sweat away from the body without absorption, there is no mechanism for dispersion.

Arctic Cool developed Hydrofreeze X Cooling Technology for dynamic sweat wicking, dispersion, and supplemental evaporative cooling that occurs between the fabric and the skin. Hydrofreeze serves as the best of both fabric worlds while stepping on to a higher plane of apparel science.

The technology functions by using your body’s natural cooling process during high-energy activities. Sweat activates the fabric and is initially wicked away from your skin. Hydrofreeze then disperses the moisture throughout the clothing fibers, keeping all areas equally dry.

A cooling process occurs as a result of air moving across the surface of the fabric and interacting with the elements in motion. The physically heat-tempering result is tangibly felt across the surface of your skin and consequently regulates your body temperature.

This system keeps you hydrated by reducing sweat by keeping your body cooler. The moisture is expelled from the fabric during natural evaporation that occurs by interacting with the air. Hydrofreeze X Cooling Technology leaves wearers with a refreshed, cooling sensation during every step of their workout, allowing them to push themselves harder and feel better when finished.

Arctic Cool also emphasizes less-restrictive fits, microbial-fighting ability, machine-washability, and the durability of its products. Arctic Cool’s Instant Cooling apparel line includes T-shirts, tank tops, and accessories for men and women. Everything is available on the company’s website.

With the new Apple Watch Series 3 update, you can now track snow activity

The 2018 Winter Olympics may be over, but he fun for skiers and snowboarders has just begun -- at least, for those who own Apple Watches. This week, Apple announced that athletes would be able to use the Apple Watch Series 3 to track their snow sport-specific activities, including recording runs, seeing vertical descent and other key stats, and contributing "active calorie measurements directly to the Apple Watch Activity app."

As a result, a number of developers have begun taking advantage of the wearable's built-in GPS and altimeter, with apps like snoww, Slopes, Squaw Alpine, Snocru, and Ski Tracks now offering features like total vertical descent and horizontal distance, number of runs, average and maximum speeds, total time spent on the slopes, and calories burned.

Once you put them on, you may never want to take Suavs shoes off

Suavs

Kicking off your shoes is generally the first step in total relaxation, but that may not be the case when your shoes are from Suavs. The sneaker brand based in Austin, Texas, has managed to design a shoe that you won't want to take off (though you probably should by the time you're headed to bed). Born out of the crazy notion that shoes should be comfortable and stylish, the Suavs team took more than a year to research, design, and prototype their shoes before making it to market. But now that they have, it would appear that customers just can't get enough of these easy, breezy shoes.

With their clean and minimal aesthetic and commitment to using materials that claims to be soft and safe for your feet, Suavs shoes aim to be the "epitome of modern, stylish comfort," the brand notes on its website. Since 2015, folks have been raving about the Suavs slip-on, the unisex shoe made of a breathable mesh and microfiber terry insole. But now, three years later, Suavs has (as promised) expanded its lineup, offering not only the classic slip-on shoe, but now a new sneaker as well. Called the Zilker, the latest addition to the Suavs collection maintains the brand's commitment to comfort over just about everything else. The shoe (like its older sibling) comes with microfiber terry insocks, which promise to provide elasticity, air venting, and moisture wicking. That's right -- this is one pair of shoes you don't have to wear socks with. Plus, Suavs assures customers that its shoes are specifically designed to prevent blistering.

Patagonia’s new line of climbing apparel offers options for rock climbers

patagonias new line of climbing apparel patagonia terrebonne feature

In the rock climbing world, there has been a huge transition from traditional climbing pants to yoga pants and boardshorts. More and more people are opting for the added flexibility provided by stretchier, tighter fitting material. In addition, tights allow for greater visibility of your feet, which can improve performance on tiny footholds.

The only problem with dedicated yoga pants and surfing boardshorts is their tendency to get torn up by the rock, but Patagonia presents an ideal solution. The company's new line of climbing apparel includes yoga-like crops that are made to resist abrasion, looser fitting rock pants that offer the same benefits as tights, and boardshort-like shorts for men -- because, let's face it, fewer men wear tights.
