Louis Garneau Course M-2 Triathlon Skin – $299

Every aspect of the Course M-2 triathlon skin is designed to provide maximum aerodynamic efficiency and optimal performances from start to finish. The body is made with CB Speedtech, which, as its name implies, is designed for speed, with a dimpled mesh construction that improves aerodynamics for speeds from 25-70 km/h. The ultra-texturized construction of the CB M-2 sleeves allows better laminar airflow, reducing the rider’s drag factor, and the skin’s full-length zip can be completely opened for maximum ventilation without flapping. Two inner pockets are designed close to the body, allowing you to carry and easily access your gels or bars without affecting aerodynamics on the bike or comfort while running.

Skratch Labs Apples And Cinnamon (Hot) Exercise Hydration Mix – $19.50

Who ever heard of a hot sports drink? Nobody, that’s who. And that’s exactly why Skratch Labs made one. Whether it’s the hottest day of the year or one of the coldest, if you’re exerting yourself, you’re sweating and losing both water and electrolytes that need to be replaced. So, Skratch Labs thought it would be nice to have something yummy AND warm to drink for those days when we’re working hard in the cold. The electrolyte content in their Apples + Cinnamon sports drink is the same as in their other flavors, the only difference is that it tastes really great when you mix it with hot water instead of cold. (It tastes pretty darn good if you mix it with cold water, too.)
