About: I joined the gang at Gear Patrol because I believe that as men we often settle for less than the very best lifestyle we can attain. It’s been ingrained into our psyches to forgo certain products, services or lifestyles because they don’t fall within some antiquated male paradigm. Bunk.
It’s time as men to stand up and redefine what’s rightfully ours. Much of what I have learned to this end has come through advice from guys who had the experiences and knowledge I was seeking. My only regret was not learning it sooner. Now I feel it’s my obligation to pass along what I know. I’m not saying I have all the answers but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far.
On a more personal level, I live an active lifestyle and focus on my health and wellness as a means to sustain the frenetic pace. I also suffer from a case of golf-itis and spend a lot of my free time perusing that passion… ok, obsession. I aim to incorporate relevant fitness and golf content into Gear Patrol’s expanding coverage of all things male. Like the rest of the crew I can’t stand over-hyped, under-performing products. None of that crap will be perpetuated here.See Authors Posts (92) on Mon, Aug 18, 2008 | Email To A Friend

Maximum Sweat Absorbtion… And Cooling
Despite its resemblance to a shamoiee, this is a towel [click on image to enlarge]
As men, we spend boat loads of money on gym memberships, proper footwear and even the latest iPod peripherals but we never think twice about the one mainstay in our workouts… the gym towel. Yeah, yeah I know what you’re thinking… a towel, big whoop. And you’re right, it is just a towel. It’s just a towel that can absorb 5 times its weight in water and stay cool to the touch even after hours of use.
Initially, I had prepared myself for the Hydryx Hard-Core Workout Towel’s ability to absorb sweat. After all, it is essentially a chamois formulated for your body. I’ve even seen Olympic divers using these types of towels. What wasn’t expected though, was the cooling effect the towel had. Each and every time I used the Hydryx Workout Towel I was greeted with a cool and refreshing sensation - an oasis in the midst of an otherwise grueling training routine. In fact, the towel was as cool and refreshing after 90 minutes of use as it was when I first started.
What this means to you: Honestly, I haven’t an idea how Hydrix does it and I really don’t care. What I do care about though is comfort and performance - even during the most ass kicking workouts.
Cost: $18 @ Accufitness
