LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With summer in
full swing, many plan to spend more time enjoying the sun and
taking their workouts outside. Premier specialty sporting goods
retailer Sport Chalet encourages consumers to partake in outdoor
activities this summer while utilizing a number of cooling and
hydration products to stay safe in the heat.
"Many athletes will take the challenge whatever it is during the
hot summer months; as heat-related injuries are a prime
concern in the hottest season, it is our goal to equip consumers
with the proper gear and apparel to withstand the blistering
weather," said Sport Chalet Expert Paul Smedley. "To help ensure
both safety and comfort in the heat, Sport Chalet offers cooling
and hydration products for those who don't want to forgo their
outdoor workouts this summer."
Instead of feeling defeated by the rising temperatures, Smedley
provides tips and products to beat the heat and enjoy what the
warmer months have to offer:
- Stay hydrated. Whether working out or
just relaxing outside, the best way to guarantee safety in the heat
is to stay fully hydrated throughout the day. To keep cool on the
inside and outside, the O2 Cool Arctic Squeeze Insulated Mist N Sip
Bottle is designed with an easy-to-squeeze misting feature. Carry
water hands-free while trekking the outdoors with the CamelBak
Fourteener 20 100 Oz Hydration Pack, which includes extra pockets
for valuable personal belongings. For the most extreme sports, the
flexible and durable design of the Vapur Element 1L Water Bottle is
an essential.
- Dress without the mess. Rather than
worrying about being drenched after a workout, send the sweat
packing with the super-cooling and UV blocking fabric of the
Columbia Zero Rules Short Sleeve Shirt available for Men and Women.
If a refreshing boost of coolness is needed, pack the Grabber Magic
Cool Cooling Cloth featuring high water absorption, retention and
UV protection that lasts for hours.
- Run comfortably. Lace up in the Nike
FS Lite Run Running Shoe, available for men and women, and hit up a
nearby running trail. These shoes feature ventilated construction
and cooling mesh to reduce moisture build-up, making strides
light-weight and comfortable.
- Avoid odor. Escape the odor and
athlete's foot that may accompany a tough, hot workout with adidas
Men's Cushioned 3-Stripe No Show Sock and adidas Women's ClimaLite
II No Show Sock. With sweat-absorbing fabric and Anti-Microbial
treatment, these workout socks offer ultimate ventilation while the
arch compression provides extra support and cushioning.
- Protect eyes from the sun. There's no
need to sacrifice style while protecting eyes from the sun's rays.
The sophisticated Oakley Necessity Sunglasses and Oakley Radarlock
Path Sunglasses Polished Black are lightweight and paired with
Plutonite® lenses for 100% UV protection while enjoying the action
outdoors.
- Be cool headed. On long summer runs
protect the most important part of the body with a running cap. The
lightweight Marmot Women's Tilden Running Cap features breathable
construction and is outfitted with reflective logos for safety,
while the Under Armour Men's UA Classic Mesh Stretch Cap is
equipped with a HeatGear sweatband to soak up sweat and maintain
maximum comfort.
- Stay cool in the pool. There's no
better way to cool off than going for a swim or participating in
water sports. The durable TYR Women's Phoenix Splice 1PC Swimsuit
and TYR Men's Samurai Jammer Swimsuit provide reliable and sleek
coverage without the extra weight.
