PROMOTION: CW-X Expert Compression Short

Its another unbelievable promotion from CW-X Conditioning wear.  This time we are looking at Compression Shorts.























CW-X Men's Conditioning Shorts belong to a new class of high-performance equipment known as conditioning wear—clothing engineered to provide a host of benefits to your body, including key muscle group support, increased endurance, shorter recovery times after exercise, and lactic acid buildup prevention. Don't confuse them with technically simple compression shorts. Established in Japan in 1991, CW-X based its designs on the human body's unique motion during exercise. Perfect for running, cycling, and climbing, Conditioning Shorts work by combining two unique zones of stretch material. The body is constructed from a Coolmax and 4-way stretch Lycra blend, providing targeted muscle support and impressive moisture-wicking properties. The key to the Conditioning Shorts, however, lies in the 2-way stretch Conditioning Web that encircles your leg's key muscle groups. While stretching longitudinally, this web holds muscles securely in place laterally, reducing vibration and increasing comfort. Flat seam stitching throughout ensures chafing is never a problem.

Promotion Price: RM230.00

Saucony Fastwitch 5 (Men) aka The White Knight

The much awaited successor to the Fastwitch 4 aka Tiger has arrived.  Its not Sir Alex Ferguson or Jose Mourinho or King Kenny Daglish, but its the Fastwitch 5 aka THE WHITE KNIGHT.  The Fastwitch 5 will be another Thousand Mile Horse (千里 馬) for those runners who are already running with the Fastwitch series.  It was officiallly released in USA during the Feb 2011 timeframe and now it has galloped into the Malaysia soil.













Saucony is hacking heels again with the Fastwitch 5 going to a 4mm drop (from heel to forefoot drop), and that it's a feature that many runners now want.  This basically give the Fastwitch 5 a lower profile design and with a faster and more efficient heel to forefoot transition.























The Fastwitch 5 shoe is lightweight and responsive for fast training days to fast race days. It sports a breathable mesh upper with a dual-density SSL EVA midsole. The XT-900™ outsole of the Fastwitch 5 provides enhanced traction and better durability (compare to Fastwitch 3 and 4)   Besides the enhancements, Saucony had maintained the ever popular drainage system on the outsole of the Fastwitch 5, allowing water to drain out when running under a wet condition.











 

Designed to be a racing/training hybrid, the main change is increased weight and midfoot support. The change is technically good featuring stronger midfoot support and the improved torsion control is very apparent, plus transition to toe-off will be excellent.

The Fastwitch 5 is now available retailing at RM429.  Current promotion price will be RM300.00
(NOTE: The model do run a little small and a half size bigger in these shoes will be advisable).

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.

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.
