What We Have Noticed: Hincapie, Barnana …

We stumbled upon a waterproof Hincapie jacket, the Barnana potassium snack, the inspirational Hector Picard, a Timbuk2 roller bag and a beautiful poster by Jane Radstrom.

Hincapie George Signature 3L Event Shell

What: The Hincapie Sports George Signature 3L Event shell is very deserving to actually carry the name of the company patron. If there is only the slightest hint of inclement weather, George Hincapie will usually be spotted wearing this waterproof breathable 3-layer shell. Word also has it that quite a few other Pros who are not on Team BMC also have one of these in their weather protection bag of tricks.
Colors: Fire
Sizes: XS – XXL
MSRP: $299.99

Barnana banana bites

What: Yes, Barnana is the correct word here and what you are looking at is a gluten free super potassium snack with 497 mg of potassium in 40 grams. Caue Suplicy is the founder of barnana and before too long you'll be able to get these chewy banana bites at Whole Foods and various other organic markets. Not surprisingly, this editor loves the chocolate banana bites, but 40 grams of those have 4.5 grams of saturated fat, versus the regular banana ones which have 0 grams of saturated fats.
Flavors: banana / chocolate banana
MSRP: $3.99 / $5.50

Hector Picard poster

What: We met Hector Picard at the 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas and this man is truly an inspiration. He has no hands, but can change a flat tire faster than many able-bodied triathletes can. He works as an inspirational speaker and would most likely make quite an impression at any corporate gathering. For those needing Hector on a smaller scale, Hector currently offers the inspirational poster below and that one should sit above your office desk.
MSRP: $12.95

Timbuk2 Copilot bag

What: Carrying a duffel bag on your back does get old after a while and roller bags certainly make traveling a bit less of a nuisance. Timbuk2 is best known for their messenger bags, but their product range is quite a bit broader than that. The size medium Copilot roller bag we are featuring here is 22 inches tall, 14.6 inches wide, weighs 7.4 pounds and rolls on skateboard wheels. It'll also go nicely with your Timbuk2 messenger bag.
MSRP: $225 (size M)

Jane Radstrom artcrank poster

What: Quite a few amazing artists submitted works of art to the 2012 artcrank exhibit in Austin, Texas. Jane Radstrom did the beautiful illustration below, and if you are in the Austin area you can have a closer look at this artwork at Mellow Johnnys until Sunday, March 18th. Should any posters be left over after that day, you may be able to snag one directly from Jane herself. But should they indeed sell out, she has plenty of other interesting work.
MSRP: $40
Availability: Until April 18 and maybe longer
