Nuun Hydrations Tablets by Brian Fichtner
Forget Gatorade. The sport drink of choice now comes in a dissolving tablet. Dropping the unwanted sugars that make Gatorade and other endurance beverages hard to swallow, Nuun delivers the electrolytes your body needs while lightly flavoring your water with a hint of lemon and lime, orange and ginger, citrus fruits and more.
Assuming you can find safe water replenishment sources along your route, Nuun's clever capsule packaging—12 tablets in one little tube—eliminates the waste from as many plastic bottles. At $6.50 a tube (roughly 50 cents per 16 oz. drink), you'd be hard pressed to find a more economical sport drink.
For a list of stockists, check Nuun's site.

Ayala's Herbal Water
While herbs have handily been cavorting with foodstuffs and teas over the years, water has been uncharted territory until now. Ayala's Herbal Water, one of the newest entries into the trend of water reinvention, is refreshingly tasty. While flavor combos like "lavender mint lemongrass thyme," "cinnamon orange peel" and "ginger lemon peel" might sound like an overpowering infusion, the effect is subtle, mellow and...

ZeroWater Filtration System
Like air, water is a hard thing to quantify. As long as it isn't cloudy or strangely flavored, it seems interchangeable with any other. One way to separate hose water from the triple-distilled purified variety is by using a TDS meter, which measures the level of salts, minerals and anything alien in your water. On a TDS, American tap water can range anywhere from...

Newton Motion AW
Newton's sneakers are as close to running barefoot as a person can get. Much has been made recently of returning to the elemental movement of walking or running. The logic suggests that our bodily structure is best served when motion is as close as possible to its primal state (i.e. running while barefoot). Newton attempts to fulfill this role for casual and professional runners,...

Glass Beverage Bottles
This version of a glass bottle in the shape of a plastic one continues the trend of doing up disposables in nicer materials and is, indeed, a Crate and Barrel knock-off of a similar concept by Roost (also makers of home furnishings but without the corporate baggage). It does however offer two design differences that caught our attention. The option of a smaller size...
