Salomon's EXO IV Calf Sleeves |
Performance-enhancing products are sticky things. When you ingest or inject them, you get ostracized and treated like a criminal. But when they come in the form of an external suit of armor, people call you Iron Man and make a comic book and a movie about you.
While the look of this stuff is more “Spider-Man” than “Iron Man”, Salomon’s EXO Sensifit compression running gear is designed to enhance your performance while pounding the trails. The outfit has an external layer of rubberized mesh, which staves off muscle fatigue and speeds up recovery by structurally supporting and enhancing blood flow to your muscles. You can go longer and recharge faster.
Consisting of shorts, calf sleeves, and shirts that put the squeeze on your body in key areas, the EXO Sensifit gear is sort of like a supportive, skin-tight exoskeleton. The company makes gear for both men and women. Salomon also makes a well-fitting hydration vest that carries water and nutrition. Think of it as a gas tank. Jet pack and wrist lasers sold separately.
