Our exhaustive search for the perfect backpack may have come to an end. Mile High Mountaineering has just released three very impressive backpacks. These colorful packs are made from super-tough 315 ripstop Codura and come in 38, 55 & 80 liter options. The frame and sYnc A.C. suspension system is incredibly stable and claims to handle weight far more efficiently than most packs of the same size. Load and access your gear more efficiently through the vertical, water-resistant zipper on the front panel (our favorite feature) or the traditional top load opening that also hides a hydration sleeve and an integrated rain fly. Fully adjustable shoulder straps & a dual-pivoting, adjustable hip belt allow each pack to fit virtually any body shape. A special compartment in the bottom of the the 55 & 80 liter sizes house a built-in stuff sac that’s perfect for a sleeping bag.

More than 300 top prospects were invited to participate at 2011 scouting combine in Indianapolis last week. This is a vital step in achieving each of their NFL hopes & caviar dreams. And while Patrick Peterson and Julio Jones may have demonstrated incredible athleticism – the behind the scenes unsung hero was a high-tech compression shirt many of the athletes wore. Under Armour created an electronic “bug” that’s woven in to their new E39 performance monitoring shirts. The removable, tri-axial accelerometer tracks everything from heart rate to g-force acceleration. Straight out of your FPS video games and onto the field; it gauges the power and efficiency of each athlete’s movements. Scouts and trainers can then view this data via their wireless laptop or iPad.

Use this mat “for your mat” as a portable studio floor outdoors or alone for extra support during your home or studio practice. The Zuura Mat works on any surface: carpet, sand, grass, or cement and is tough enough to take your Downward Dog anywhere. Best of all, and because it’s made from bamboo, if it gets wet just wipe it off and let it air-dry before you roll it up. Now… if it could only help us with our Peacock posture.
