The full-rim frame construction provides exceptional rigidity to withstand impact and improve long-term durability in these stylish sports glasses.
Advanced ventilation provides optimal airflow to help reduce fog and maintain clarity at high intensity, while the Gold Mirror CAT 3 lenses are ideal for the summer months and provide a bright, clean tint suitable for any terrain.

POLAR – Street X Sports Watch – £219.00
POLAR’s latest sports watch goes beyond just running and provides in-depth insights into a wide range of sports with over 170 different activities.
The Street X is a rugged, lightweight urban sports watch built for active lifestyles and hybrid athletes who appreciate its rugged design aesthetic. A bright 1.28-inch AMOLED touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 provides clear visibility day and night, while built-in GPS, barometer and route guidance support urban runs, mixed-terrain sessions and everyday navigation.
An integrated LED flashlight with red light mode adds real-world utility, providing instant visibility in low-light conditions while remaining discreet when needed. Precision Prime optical heart rate tracking provides accurate performance data during any type of movement, and shock-resistant, military-grade durability ensures Street X can withstand the demands of everyday urban life.
Of course, being a POLAR device means its running credentials are top-notch, with built-in heart rate, GPS, mapping, running power and other training and recovery metrics.
Street X is built to survive on and off the streets and record all the important data while doing so.
RAB – Talus 5 Panel Cap – £28.00
This lightweight five-panel hat is the perfect hat for summer. Lightweight, breathable softshell fabric and laser-cut holes for ventilation provide both sun protection and all-day comfort. The soft top and unstructured design allow for easy removal.
Shokz – OpenDots Air – £129.00
Using the latest in open-ear audio technology, OpenDots Air offers lightweight performance in a video design. The skin-friendly silicone and nickel-titanium design sits neatly around the ear, and crystal clear sound is delivered with a naturally balanced effect.

Shokz – OpenDots2 – £179.00
Shokz’s most advanced headphones, the OpenDots 2, add Dolby audio technology for enhanced sound with richer bass and a wider soundstage.
The clip design sits snugly and securely on the ear and allows for open-ear listening, meaning you’re still aware of your surroundings.
With up to 10 hours of listening time on a single charge, you’ll never run out of your tunes, and just 5 minutes of charging from the charging and storage dock will extend listening time by another 2 hours.

Our favorite luggage brand, whether it’s for travel or leisure, Troubadour has a great collection of bags for every occasion. This backpack uses a lightweight, durable fabric construction that’s built to last, so it comes with a 5-year warranty.
The ergonomic design and sculpted straps sit snugly and comfortably on the body and, being fully adjustable, ensure a custom fit.
Waterproof zips keep your contents dry and with multiple internal pockets to keep things separate, there’s room for gear, keys and other essentials.
