You're probably still reeling from countdown cocktails but you made it through and now a fresh new year awaits. No fear - at RDRC we’ve got your back (and feet and quads… you name it). After some intense discussion, here’s the team’s five must-have essentials to kick ass, and meet your new year resolutions in 2024.
1. Pace maker - NNormal Kjerag
Put your best foot forward with these sturdy yet featherlight trail shoes that provide the support your soles need no matter what your pace. Featuring a Matryx Jacquard mesh upper with Kevlar fibers, a Vibram MegaGrip LiteBase outsole, and a supercritical EExpure foam midsole, the NNormal Kjerag is designed to feel natural, fast and nimble. Just ask Kilian Jornet.
2. Better blockers - Knockarounds
You aren’t imagining it, the future’s looking bright. Especially if you’ve managed to score yourself a pair of these stunning sunnies to keep you looking cool despite the heat. With non-slip rubberized nose-pads, comfort fit, and poppin’ colours, the latest Knockaround collection is just in. Grab a pair (or two) while stocks last.
3. Hats off - ciele FSTCap 2
Our community loves ciele and you just have to try one to see why. Lightweight and comfortable, these caps keep the glare out of your eyes, and your head cool yet protected. Did we mention the brand also has a cult following due to its design props… AND they are machine washable? Check out the FSTCap 2 - Run Mountain SM in two new colors - Stark and Canaan, and bag one quick before they disappear.
4. Travel light - Naked
It’s unanimous, getting Naked is the first step to greatness. From barely-there running bands, to sleek hydration vests, carrying your essentials (and more!) on the go is easier than ever. Whether you’re just taking the dog for a walk (stash those poop bags) or racking up the miles, Naked will up your game, and then some. Our top pick? The Naked SL Band. Designed for minimalists, it'll stow your phone, car keys, and anything else you need to hit the ground running.
5. On track - COROS PACE 3
Starting the year with a thousand things on your to-do list? Strike off getting your fitness on-track with the new COROS PACE 3 - a digital watch that tracks your fitness and recovery with pinpoint accuracy. Did we mention its dual-frequency GPS, next-gen optical heart rate and SpO2 sensors? Power up your year with this red TRACK edition, or score the limited edition Eliud Kipchoge COROS PACE 3. While stocks last.
