Realand Nutrition
Rooted in sustainable agriculture and outdoor grit, Realand makes clean, intentional fuel that keeps training simple and recovery dialed. With short, transparent ingredient lists and USA sourcing, these proteins support hard efforts without upsetting your system—perfect for athletes who want performance without compromise.
Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate — Unflavored
With 25g of complete protein and only two ingredients—grass-fed whey isolate and sunflower lecithin—this is minimalist recovery at its best. Whey isolate’s high purity makes it easy to digest (even for many with lactose sensitivities) and quick to mix post-workout. No flavors, no fillers—just clean building blocks to repair muscle, support lean strength, and keep your training week moving without second-guessing what’s on the label.

Recovery Plant Protein in Chocolate
A new standard for plant protein: 22g per serving from fava beans—chosen for superior taste and creamy texture without the gritty, earthy finish common in pea or rice blends. Beyond performance, fava beans use less land and water than many alternatives, aligning training with stewardship. Expect smooth mixing, steady post-workout recovery, and real satisfaction that helps you stick to consistent fueling habits.

Metolius Climbing
Born from garage ingenuity and decades of real-world climbing, Metolius champions practical, durable training solutions that don’t require a luxury budget. Their skin-friendly wood holds and home-gym essentials help climbers build strength, tension, and confidence at home—so performance shows up at the crag all fall.
Wooden System Holds — Edges, Pinches, Pockets, Slopers
Turn blank plywood into a symmetrical training lab. CNC-machined wooden holds are indexed for easy mirror setups, letting you systematically attack weaknesses (hello, slopers) without trashing skin. Dial repeatable progressions, track grip positions, and stack quality volume between sessions. The consistent geometry makes benchmarking simple—perfect for building finger strength and tension as projects get colder and conditions improve. Each hold style sold as a six pack—like the one you’ll have after using them.

Light Rail
A pocket-size training rail you can throw in the pack or mount at home, the Light Rail is made for quick warm-ups and session-saving mobility. Its reversible profile delivers four edge options—38 mm & 18 mm on one side or 38 mm & 13 mm on the flip—so you can progress from easy hangs to bitey grips without swapping tools. At just 1.2 lb (0.54 kg) and 18" × 3" × 1.5" (45.7 × 7.6 × 3.8 cm), it’s compact, durable, and built for body-weight use only. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood is easy on skin and conscience, and the included four screws make a clean, quick install wherever you train. Small rail, big sessions.

From vert-crushing race boots to agile trail shoes, SCARPA’s fit and function help you stack quality sessions—and show up confident when it counts.
Alien 4.0
The Alien 4.0 is SCARPA’s fastest expression of skimo efficiency: a hand-laid carbon fiber shell and cuff deliver ultra-stiff power at featherweight, with Pebax® front panels shaping a secure, contoured closure. The Speed Lock Lite system links a Dyneema® cord to the ski/walk lever for true single-action transitions and four forward-lean options, while a BOA® Fit System (tucked under the Light Shield Tech gaiter) dials micro-adjusted precision on the fly. A Vibram® UFO sole in TOP85 compound grips icy bootpacks, so you move fast between pins and podiums. (Also: the ultimate reward for all those dark, pre-season fall intervals—you’ve earned it.)

Jogology
Launched in 2023, Jogology is re-writing the running sock playbook with Re-Dri™ recycled yarns, left/right anatomical shaping, and detail-obsessed construction. The result is friction control, moisture management, and locked-in fit that keep you training day after day—because small details make big differences over a fall training block.
Low Cushion, No Show
A minimalist layer for tempo days and gym work, knit from proprietary Re-Dri™ recycled yarn that stays cool, dry, and soft. Front and back heel tabs reduce shoe rub, while seamless toes, a cradling arrow heel, and snug arch support secure the fit. Targeted ventilation dumps heat fast. Flat-knit coverage over the big toe adds protection without bulk—so your stride stays efficient from warm-up to cooldown.
$16.00
Medium Cushion, Quarter
Quarter height for a touch more coverage on crisp mornings. You’ll get the same plush heel and protective big-toe pad for longer efforts, minus midfoot bulk to keep footwork snappy. Re-Dri™ yarn handles sweat, while the seamless toe, arrow heel, and snug arch band stay comfortable as mileage climbs. A reliable rotation staple when the forecast calls for intervals and leaf-covered paths.
