“The design and fit of these shoes is outstanding and the cushioning foam provides the highest energy return.”



 “Weighing less than half a pound with flexible fabric along its side, it is perfect as active wear, for layering, and for fast packing on cooler days.”


“These are all-natural, easy to dissolve, and not sweet like most mixes. I use them when I’m doing a long workout to ensure I’m well-hydrated for continued energy.”


“Headphone wires getting in the way of my workout is a pet peeve. The long battery life and fit is a great bonus.”


“These are amazing products and always in my gym bag.”


“Great for the gym, I’ll load up my iPad with Sufferfest videos for bike workouts or S‎ongza for running on the treadmill.”


“This watch is an all-around device. It integrates GPS with a heart rate monitoring, weather functions, and Suunto apps making it a perfect accessory for outdoor sports.  I love the data and sharing it on Strava so I can keep up with my cycling team.”


“You can really appreciate the premium qualities these sweatpants offer, and it’s important to me to support other Made in Canada brands.”



“I need this for morning workouts or to throw on when I’m leaving the gym if it’s chilly.”


Like many of the best, outerwear company—and now internationally-recognized refuge from the cold—<a href=http://www.canada-goose.com/ target=_blank>Canada Goose</a> started small: in a tiny, Toronto warehouse in 1957. Today, the red and blue badge unofficially rules the industry of luxe winter wear as a symbol of warmth, and for good reason.No one knows this better than Spencer Orr, vice president of design and merchandising for Canada Goose: “Part of my job is to help create the best outerwear for an active lifestyle, regardless of weather conditions,” he says.And CG products aim to do just that—from lightweight shells to field-tested parkas that combat the chilliest places on earth—the gear is home grown across the border with premium Canadian down and coyote fur (which never freezes and doesn’t hold water). It’s also developed with a “Thermal Experience Index” matching the right amount of warmth to specific endeavors. “We design pieces for the everyday adventurer, whether you need a parka to get you back and forth from the gym warmly, or something more lightweight for active outdoor pursuits.”As an avid cyclist and runner, Orr walks the talk, braving the elements himself. “When I’m not hitting the road, I take advantage of the great gym at the Canada Goose headquarters,” he says.
