I donned my Artilect M-Formation 3L shell...

　　It was the trip of a lifetime. Several months paddling the Amazon, trying to eat without being eaten.

　　If you’re a regular traveler like me, you already know this: most airports are awful. You’re constantly rushing through a crowded terminal, competing with a harried mess of humanity, only to then cram yourself into a narrow seat for a few hours until you get to your next terminal purgatory—meanwhile, dragging your luggage the whole way.

You can rely on the routine tests and measurements your doctor likes to order for you, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight, and so on.

The drag created by the body is one of the largest determinants of performance in these sports. And Wahoo brings relative aerodynamic drag measurements to the handlebar. 　　Wahoos air pressure sensor is a category first and is, by far, the...

　　Four teams have been neck and neck for hundreds of miles of the Adventure Racing World Championships, competing ferociously to be the first to cross the finish line in Cuenca, Peru. So far, teams have traversed cold, high-altitude mountain plains, fast-flowing rivers, and dense, humid forests. 　　Now, teams from France, Estonia, Sweden, and Brazil are closing in on the home...
