Ah, it’s been a year of living with Covid-19 restrictions… Running is one of the activities that’s actually been the easiest to adapt to the lockdown rules because it can be done outdoors and physically distanced from others. (I do miss the easy flat surface of the treadmill, but that’s another story.) Still, if you want to run on narrow trails, or on the track (if it’s crowded), it’s a good idea to wear a…
Masks are obviously something we are familiar with right now in the current state of affairs. While masks are a relatively simple premise and design, companies are definitely looking to come up with something new – something different – to stand out in keeping us safe in public settings. One recent mask we came across, and were sent a sample to review, is the Slapmask. As anyone growing up in the 90’s can attest to…
How many masks do you have? I would venture to guess that over the past 10 months or so, most of us have gone from zero to more than a handful. I know that in my house of 5, there are multiple masks for each person in the cars, in the house, in purses, etc. Hopefully with vaccines on the horizon, these won’t be needed as long term, but it’s still probably necessary a while…
We have contacts with a lot of great companies and public relations firms, but one of our favorite’s is Verde. At Verde Brand Communications we believe the world is better seen from the saddle of a bike, from five miles into a trail run, from the top of a backcountry bowl the night after it’s snowed 12-plus, from the nose of a surfboard at glass off, or halfway up the crux pitch of an alpine…
In this Covid-19 era, do you run with a mask or not? A few months ago, a study of cases in China found that out of over 300 clusters of cases, only one (involving a total of 2 cases) occurred as a result of outdoor transmission. It seems extremely unlikely that you could catch or transmit the novel coronavirus just from passing by someone else on the street. Of course, it’s still imperative to follow…
Wearing a mask is the smart, kind thing to do – even while running. So recently we set out to try various masks specifically made for running and/or by running companies. Its the year 2020 and with a global pandemic and the raging wildfires in Oregon – it’s mask reviewing season for runners. We recently received a Filter Mask from BUFF, who you know probably as the maker of great running headwear and…well…Buffs, and now…
Wearing a mask is the smart, kind thing to do – even while running. So recently we set out to try various masks specifically made for running. I got two masks from Rabbit, a California-based company that makes exceptional running clothes … and now masks. One of the masks, simply named the Rabbit Mask, is a contoured two-layer mask with an opening to insert a filter if desired. The other, an Adjustable Nose Bridge Mask,…
