What We Have Noticed: Giro, Tritan, Powerbar …
So many products, so little time. Today we look at the Giro Prolight helmet, Tritan Positive Drive fins, Powerbar Gel Blasts energy food, Haribo Happy Cola snacks, a new Rotor 3D crank length and the QLOCKTWO clock.
Giro Prolight
What: Most light-weight products have an undeniable lust factor and the current Giro Prolight helmet certainly falls into that category too. 25 Wind Tunnel™ vents keep your noggin cool and the Roc Loc SL system keeps the helmet securely on it.
Colors: various
Sizes: S, M, L
Weight: 180g (size M)
MSRP: $200

Tritan Positive Drive swim fins
What: A smart Pro pointed these smaller fins out to this editor in the quest to do more kicking and avoiding the frustrating slow forward propulsion. Big fins are often awkward and annoying in the pool and these actually work great for all strokes.
Sizes: various
MSRP: $24.99

Powerbar Gel Blasts
What: If you like the taste of gummy bears then you will most likely enjoy the Powerbar Energy Gel Blasts. Available in 4 different flavors, these Gel Blasts certainly hit the spot of this editor and the featured Cola ones actually give you 190 calories, 60mg sodium, 45g carbs, 35g sugars and 75mg caffeine per pouch. Lemon and Raspberry are without caffeine.
Flavors: Lemon, Raspberry, Strawberry-Banana, Cola
Size: 60.3g / 2.12oz
MSRP: $2

Haribo Happy Cola
What: Now you like those Cola Gel Blasts but what to do if you don’t want the caffeine? Haribo Happy Cola to the rescue. Plus they are a great TV / travel snack.
Size: 142g / 5oz
MSRP: $1.99

Rotor 3D
What: The Rotor 3D cranks have been around for a while, but they are now finally available in the 165mm length and that is good news for those looking for a crank alternative in that length.
Sizes: 165, 170, 172.5 and 175mm
Weight: 520g
MSRP: $400
Website: www.rotorbikeusa.com
QLOCKTWO
What: It is virtually impossibly to have too many cool clocks in your home, but at the very minimum you should have at least one conversation piece clock. The QLOCKTWO by Biegert & Funk is exactly such an item, albeit a fairly expensive one. Made in Germany you can choose from 8 different languages and a variety of color flavors. Power supply though is 220v.
Colors: various
Size: 45cm x 45cm
Weight: 4kg
MSRP: starting at €885.00
