Gearist Bike Gear Reviews, News and Features
TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Review
For several years, minimalist runners have been striving for less equipment but still have the ability to track their runs. But many of these same runners want to track their heart rate and really enjoy listening to music while they run. This has traditionally meant...
Timbuk2 Tuck Pack Review
With school right around the corner, and chilly rainy fall days on the horizon it’s time to upgrade your school,work, or commuting backpack. Big enough to fit a laptop, but not too bulky when empty, sporty enough to wear on a bike but also fashionable. Founded by a...
Pearl Izumi Focuses on Cycling Business
While we're well aware that brands come in and out of categories all the time, this is one we didn't see coming. Pearl Izumi announced yesterday that they're exiting the run category entirely - both in apparel and running shoes - in order to more fully focus on their...

Elliptigo Arc Review
The first elliptical trainers hit gyms sometime around 1995 when Precor introduced the EFX. Since then we've seen lots of different sizes, shaped, motions and anything else you can think of in the space where people looking for a solid cardio workout with low impact...
What do you do in a time crunch? | Gearist Questions
We've been caught out on adventures - be they runs, rides, hikes, skiing, you name it - and have found ourselves later than we thought we'd be. While being able to call someone to say "sorry" or "fyi" is nice, if you're out and about where there's no phone or data...
Helly Hansen Odin Minimalist Jacket Review
Being completely honest, the name of this jacket pretty much says it all - well, the "minimalist" part anyway. Hello Hansen has long been one of the standard bearers for foul weather gear, especially in the yachting/sailing world and the Odin Minimalist jacket brings...
