Salewa Wildfire Canvas Shoes
Salewa's new Wildfire Canvas hiking/approach shoes puts an eco-friendly spin on their traditional counterpart without giving up an ounce of alpine performance. Their sustainable design includes an upper that is made from recycled cotton and hemp canvas which helps to minimize the shoe's environmental footprint.

Shokz OpenRun Pro Mini
Most wireless earbuds fit in your ears and cut off exterior noise which can be a problem in urban environments or while running. This is where the Shokz Open Run Pro Mini headphones excel since they are Open-Ear headphones which use Bone Conduction Technology. That’s right, these wireless sports headphones allow for total awareness of your surroundings in a bud-free design that provides comfortable listening. Most sound is transmitted through the air to our eardrums, however, bone-conduction headphones transmit sound through vibrations on the bones of the head and jaw. The sounds from these headphones bypass the eardrum and relay sound directly to the inner ear so you can still hear your surroundings.
The OpenRun Pro Mini is the lightest headphones to date in the Shokz lineup and are engineered with outstanding sound, a long-lasting battery, and a Quick Charge capability. This new “Mini” version uses a 0.83-inch shorter band than their standard size, making it ideal for smaller head sizes and for those who prefer a more snug fit. Their IP67 rating makes them completely sweat and waterproof for intense workouts and harsh weather and their 8-hour Battery Life has a 10-minute Quick Charge for up to 1.5 hours of battery life. Controls include play, skip, pause, and back-a-track, you can enjoy music, calls, audiobooks, and podcasts all day long. Powered by patented 8th generation bone conduction, Bluetooth 5.1, and PremiumPitch™ 2.0+, OpenRun delivers clear sound, powerful volume, and a rich bass.

Ibex Woolies Tech Long Sleeve 1/4 Zip
Merino wool is always the best choice when it comes to base layers thanks to the fabric’s ability to keep you warm when it's cold, and cool when it's warm, plus its built-in moisture wicking capabilities. Merino’s natural crimp traps heat between the fibres while a hydrophilic core serves as an insulator, but since it’s an active fibre it is also able to release heat according to your body’s temperature. Merino is made up of naturally porous fibres which means it pull moisture away from your skin, keeping you drier. Ibex’s new Woolies Tech Long Sleeve 1/4 Zip is made from their proprietary Pro-Tech fabric which was designed for high aerobic activities in cool and cold conditions. At only 180gsm, it maintains incredible warmth for its weight without overheating. Ibex added nylon to their Pro-Tech fabric for durability and a touch of elastane to maintain its shape for days. The Woolies Tech Long Sleeve 1/4 Zip also has built-in baste stitch thumbholes for optional use and a 1/4 zip neck to help you better maintain body temperature and the durable nylon core merino wool ensures maximum wear and tear over the long term.
