Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar ($599.99)
“The sheer number of features the 955 solar watch can support is just bananas,” raved one tester, a professional ultra-running coach. It boasts a staggering seven clock features, 15 health monitoring features,19 daily smart features, six safety and tracking features, and 54 (yep, 54) training and analysis features. Highlights include access to full-color built-in maps and a nuanced training readiness score. All of this, and the watch can still track in GPS mode for 49 hours on a single charge thanks to its ability to harness solar energy.
Under Armour Flow Synchronicity Running Shoe ($140)
Female testers delighted in a shoe that legitimately felt like it was built specifically for women thanks to their dialed-in fit and ride that absolutely ripped. The single-piece midsole and outsole proved remarkably resilient, which testers noted felt like a spring propelling them forward with each step. That extra pep was enhanced by the bantam 8.3-ounce weight, while seamless integration with the MapMyRun App made keeping track of those smoking-fast runs a breeze.
Rapha Pro Team Training Jersey ($125)
Elastic grips at the sleeves and hem kept the Pro Team close to our bodies while we hammered. Meanwhile, its airy weave was super breathable, making it our favorite jersey for our hardest gravel and road biking workouts. This preference was reinforced by the handsome, bold colors and contrasting sleeves.
Chirp Wheel 4-Pack ($129.99)
These four massage wheels are purpose-built to relieve aches and pains in your neck or back and for muscle recovery anywhere on the body thanks to the spine-friendly channel running along the center. The pack ranges from the downright relaxing 12-inch gentle wheel—ideal for releasing low back tension at the end of a work day—to an ouchie-yet-therapeutic 4-incher that a tester used to unfreeze his neck when it was in full spasm.
