On the Radar

Reveals, New Launches and Gear

Rapha Pro Team Shadow

Rapha’s all-new Pro Team Shadow collection is designed to revolutionize variable-weather cycling apparel. The collection includes a jersey-and-bib combo that is made from a stretch-woven material. The kit is designed to keep wind out, but still allow heat to escape, keeping you cool and comfortable. The fabric is treated with a DWR coating that beads water and keeps you completely dry. The sleek black colorway features Rapha’s signature minimalist design and uncompromising quality.

Wilson Glide Tennis Shoe

If you dream of playing like tennis greats, this shoe is a step in the right direction. Wilson’s new Glide tennis shoe is designed to allow players to slide more easily on hardcourt. The benefit, Wilson says, is helping you to get to the next ball quicker. A strategically placed glide plate made from polyethylene provides a controlled slide when you need it while high-traction rubber Duralast provides plenty of grip.

GetOutfitted

GetOutfitted is a new online service that allows you to rent a selection of outdoor equipment, for reasonable prices, and have it delivered directly to your digs at a number of resorts.

Saris SUPERBones

Building on the success of their Bones bike racks, Saris have updated and tweaked the design to be easier to install and still look sleek.

Rondechute Svartisen

Made from recycled sails, Swiss brand Rondechute’s new Svartisen is a durable and environmentally friendly daypack.

Movado Edge

Designed with help from Yves Béhar, the new Movado Edge is an affordable yet sophisticated watch that will help you start off the new year on time.

Allen Sports XLZ2

Taking the kids on a morning run is now easier than ever with Allen Sports’ XLZ2. As a bonus, it can also be adapted to be towed behind a bicycle.
