Shimano S-Phyre SH-TR903 - $350
Shimano may be known for its reliable components, but they've outdone themselves with the SH-TR903. This upgrade from the TH901 isn't just a step up—it's a leap. Ideal for long courses, its new BOA buckle system adjusts quickly and efficiently, ensuring that water retention and unsafe removals are worries of the past. Though it's a premium shoe, its features justify the price, standing toe-to-toe with competitors like Fizik’s Transiro Hydra Aeroweave Carbon.
Wool-Aid Hyperfine Merino Wool Adhesive Bandages - $6 (pack of 5)
Find them at rei.com
Summer brings blister season, and it hits hard. Traditional solutions often fall short, but Wool-Aid’s merino wool bandages are a game changer. Soft, breathable, and sturdy, they stay put through sweat and strain without causing additional irritation. Plus, they're biodegradable—a big win for eco-conscious athletes.
Aquaseal NEO Neoprene Contact Cement - $7.95 (1.5 fl. oz.)
A nightmare scenario: a torn wetsuit on race day. My quick fix? Aquaseal NEO Contact Cement. This easy-to-use adhesive saved my suit and my race, sealing the tear with no leaks after extensive use. It's a must-have for any triathlete's toolkit.
Roll Recovery R8 Deep Tissue Massage Tool - $170
After long days at the Outside Festival, the R8 Plus was a savior for sore muscles. Adjustable pressure settings make it suitable for any athlete looking to ease tightness on the go. Lightweight and effective, it’s earned its spot in my travel bag permanently.
