Drymax Lite Mesh Socks - #1 sock to keep feet dry

Price: RM45.00  per pair or RM130.00 (for pack of 3 pairs)


There is no fiber technology available that both attracts & repels moisture at the same time. The Drymax® Sport Socks Sweat Removal System uses 2 separate fiber technology layers to keep feet dry. Super Hydrophobic (water repelling) Drymax® fibers are used on the SKINside? and Super Hydrophilic (water attracting) fibers are used as the absorbent outer layer which means DRYMAX® STAYS DRY - YOU STAY DRY!

This technology allows sweat to move completely through to the outer layer without sticking to the Drymax® fibers. Our Drymax® Sweat Removal System also keeps feet drier because it is self contained. Other socks rely on the ineffectively slow process of wicking and evaporation.

Touting itself as the "#1 sock to keep feet dry", you know they stand behind their product. With technological advancements in dual layer sweat removal system, to anti-blister with active odor control properties, these Drymax® socks have given lots of thought to something as simple as your feet. Give these Drymax® socks a try and you'll understand why they're the #1 sock to keep feet dry.

Drymax - Lite Mesh Mini Crew

Product Information:

• Independent lab tests confirm that Drymax® is the #1 Sock to Keep Feet Dry.

Drymax® Sweat Removal System also keeps feet dryer because it is self contained. Other socks rely on the ineffectively slow process of wicking and evaporation.
• 3-D Advanced Fit – Drymax®'s 5 Sizes of socks fit because they were developed on Special 3-D foot Shaped Models.
• Anti-Blister System – Drymax® Socks prevent blisters because they are seamlessly smooth and stay dry on the SKINside™.
• Cooler feet in summer - Breathable Mesh creates air flow between the toes and top of the foot, helping feet stay cooler.

Are Compression Suits Worth It?

According to studies, compression clothing offers real benefits, like improving muscle recovery after workouts or helping you to run faster. Still, it pays to suit up only where you’ll need it – for example, wearing a compression top won’t benefit your running as much as compression pants.

Here's when to wear compression clothing and the benefits it gives.

Prevent Soreness
Athletes who did sprints and plyometrics in a lower body compression garment reported 43 per cent less soreness after 24 hours than their unrestricted counterparts did.

Save Your Muscles
Athletes who wore a full body compression suit for 24 hours after high-intensity exercise had up to 20 per cent lower levels of muscle damage.

Run Faster
Runners who wore knee high compression stockings ran as much as 6.1 per cent faster on a treadmill than those who wore regular running socks.

Gain Accuracy
The elasticity of a long sleeved compression top gives you more control as you extend your arms. This may help in your throwing.

Conserve Energy
Athletes in compression pants covered up to 34 per cent more distance at faster speeds in circuit training. The pants help conserve energy.

Saucony Kinvara - LESS is MORE

Retail Price : RM350.00 (Call for special Introductory Offer)
Available in all sizes for Men and Women


New introduction for 2010/2011, the Kinvara is undoubtly the most talked about running shoe at the moment. With “less is more” in mind, Saucony launched this extremely lightweight trainer as a lean, clean and essential everyday trainer for the neutral running crowd. Winning Runner’s World Best Debut 2010 surely contributed to Kinvara’s hype, but the shoe truly is a game-changer.

The Saucony ProGrid Kinvara: a lightweight, minimal neutral trainer that features a one piece midsole/outsole with carbon triangle lugs for added durability that look like they were taken directly from the outsole of the Classic Saucony running shoes.  A three-piece upper provides a good amount of support, is breathable and sports a cool graphic treatment.  A small, lightweight ProGrid Lite cookie is placed in the heel for a touch of extra cushioning.

The Kinvara is very light for being classified as a trainer.  As a point of reference the Saucony racing flats, the Fastwitch 4 and new Grid Type A4 come in at 7.0 and 6.4 oz respectively.  Based on this metric, the Kinvara is light at a projected 7.7 oz. 

Saucony has engineered the shoe to have a relatively small heel-to-toe drop (the difference in midsole height between the heel and forefoot) - the drop has been reported  to be 18mm heel/14mm forefoot. Given these numbers, the drop is only 4 mm, which should help those wishing to experiment with a more midfoot-forefoot style of running.


Product Information:

• Awarded Best debut in the June 2010 issue of Runner's World Magazine!
• With the whole "minimalism" movement gaining legs in today's runners, the ProGrid™ Kinvara running shoe from Saucony® is the ideal shoe where less is more!
• Features a neutral running shoe with minimal midsole construction to keep your feet closer to the ground while providing excellent protection from the pavement.
• Lightweight, breathable air mesh upper with printed, airbrush trim.
• Lightly padded collar and tongue.
• Molded, antimicrobial and breathable EVA sockliner provides superior cushioning and ride.
• Minimal laces with some internal welds to hold it over the foot for ultra-lightweight comfort.
• Pillowy-soft lining on the heel for ultra comfort.
• EVA+ blend maximizes rebound and durability while minimizing weight.
• Heel ProGrid LITE absorbs impact, dissipates shock and sets the foot up for a smooth transition.
• XT-900™ carbon rubber outsole material offers exceptional traction properties without sacrificing durability.
• Rubber triangular lugs provide traction and durability.
• 7.7 oz. (US9)

The Triumph is long established as a luxury cushioning shoe, giving the most protection available. Now Saucony's top-of-the-range cushioning shoe,  has been upgraded even further for the seventh version - the Triumph 7.  It now has more cushioning than any Saucony shoe ever! The SRC impact zone in the heel has been increased to provide greater protection from the continued impact of road running. The full-length ProGrid cushioning pad is now even more voluminous giving a tremendously plush feeling to the heel and the forefoot area, and in case that isn't enough, the forefoot cushioning pad of SRC is also bigger. Saucony's shoe engineers have also filled in some of the midfoot area which helps give the shoe a little more structure and also provide improved protection for runners who strike the ground in that important area. To give an improved, more comfortable fit, Saucony's patented ArchLock technology has been upgraded to support the medial side of the foot and hold the foot securely.
