About: Hello, gentlemen; this is Anthony, and this is my long-awaited bio post (according to the ever-pestering Eric, anyway). Personally, I think Gear Patrol is making me poorer. Not the best idea in today’s economy but, what the hell - hopefully, Citi will fall after I purchase a few barrels of JD. As one of the very first readers, I’ve enjoyed watching the site grow from one new post every few days to several articles daily - finding more and more gear I could add to my ever-growing collection. So, I find it a great honor that I was selected to join The GP Crew. Despite many failed attempts to get Eric to write my bio for me (so I could envelop myself in Call of Duty at his pad), he remained stalwart, and I was relegated to alternative measures: interviewing myself. So without further ado, I give you Anthony vs. Anthony - on the hot seat. [Continued after the jump] Tell us a little about yourself. My editors know me to be laid back, obsessed with finding deals on the finer things in life, and one who tends to over-research products. Why? To convince myself that I desperately need something, then not buy it. It’s a sordid affair. That’s pretty rough. Anything else? I’m also a fanatic when it comes to reading about random articles and an irate, foul-mouthed lunatic when it comes to playing video games (Ed: True). I’m perpetually on the move, calling New York, Chattanooga, and Memphis home. What’s one embarrassing moment you’d like to share with our readers and forever be published on the internet for the whole world to see? Gee, Anthony, when you put it that way… Oh wait… actually, looking back one of the funniest events (not for me at the time) had to be when I was learning how to ride a bike. Being the young and ever-confident 5 year old trying to keep up with an older bro, I decided to try and show off by riding my bike down the hill - sans training wheels. So what happened? I think this YouTube clip might be the closest dramatization of the actual events: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OszlUvXGsfw Why that moment? Because, well… you fall down and you keep going and that’s what guys do. The old adage applies here: if you can’t laugh at yourself, you shouldn’t be laughing at all. What’s your biggest vice? An outrageously good deal (think: slickdeals.net). Oh, and Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve. Is there anything embarrassing you can tell us about Eric Yang? Eric is supafly smooth (Ed: I’d debate “supafly”). I’m still waiting for him to trip up; we all are, actually. Such events are rarer than spotting Nessie. If we ever go on that golf trip next year, then maybe I (we) can catch one of those rare moments on camera.See Authors Posts (38) on Tue, Jul 28, 2009

Lately in Memphis, hot has been much of an understatement. 95°-100°+ temps plus humidity makes stepping outside more akin to stepping into a sauna. Worse yet, trying to play tennis on a court that’s been soaking in the sun for days on end.

When it comes to staying cool while playing summer tennis can be a challenge. Wearing your usual gym shorts and a t-shirt generally doesn’t get the job done. Let’s face it, that shirt you’d wear tooling around the house doesn’t provide adequate ventilation or wick away moisture let alone a heated round of tennis. Luckily there’s plenty of athletic wear out there for just this purpose. Checking in with one of my more favored tennis gear brands I took out the K-Swiss Sublimation Polo and Combo Woven Shorts out for a (top) spin.

I’ve taken the new K-Swiss Sublimation Polo and Combo Woven Short out for quite a few matches this summer. Needless to say, its quite an improvement over any t-shirt and shorts routine I’ve encountered to date. The Sublimated Tennis Polo features mesh inserts in the underarms and back to improve breathability, and help keep you cool while the fabric wicks away moisture. More importantly, it keeps your shirt from sticking to you so you can (try and) bomb your serve like Tommy Haas. Most importantly, the Sublimation Polo has flat seams that prevents chafing after hours of hitting. The last you want after long match is a long rash to go with it.

The lightweight K-Swiss Combo Woven Shorts have an inner mesh lining that keeps you well ventilated and free to run down every last ball. The shorts look great with the right amount of fit and space without sacrificing anything in the looks department. After all, whether you’re trying to take down a buddy or look good in front of the local tennis pro, it’s always good to have gear that serves up an ace.

Cost: Sublimated Polo ($60) | Combo Woven Short ($50)
