Brooks Ghost 5

The next evolution of the award winning Ghost series by Brooks is now available.  There are some recognizable features for runners who have had the Ghost series in the past.  The new Ghost 5 will feature the caterpillar crash pad in the heel strike region to cushion the impact.  There is also still DNA, Brooks cushioning material that provides a more responsive base than a regular gel.  Weighing in at 10.7 oz., the Ghost maintains a nice balance between being light weight and well cushioned.  We have both the men’s and women’s style in.  If it’s time for a new pair of running shoes, stop by the store today!

Petzl Pixa 3 Pro

We’ve got a new headlight in the store by Petzl, the Pixa 3.  This new piece features a super rugged design that is waterproof up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.  That means in even the most torrential of downpours, your light will keep on working.  For those of you caving or climbing, this headlight features a mounting plate for helmets.  You won’t have to worry about fumbling around for a button to adjust the light on the Pixa 3.  Instead, there is a large knob on the side that makes switching between the 3 light modes very easy.  While the headlight comes with two AA batteries, with lithium-ion batteries you can double the burn time.  Come in to Good Sports today, we’ve got both these and the little brother, the Pixa 2.

Eno Slackwire

For those of you familiar with ENO (Eagles Nest Outfitters), you probably think hammock automatically.  Eno has branded a fun new product to carry out there with your hammocks.  The ENO Slackwire is a slackline (and for those of you who haven’t seen these things before youtube ‘slackline’, slit back, and enjoy the ensuing awesomity) that uses a 2′ webbing and ratchet system to tighten between anchor points.  The slackwire even comes with its own carrying case so you can keep things organized.  We’ve got these new camp toys here in the store today, so come by and pick one up for your next outdoor adventure!

Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer

Mountain Hardwear’s new focus on fast and light really shines through in their new Ghost Whisperer.  This piece is an ultralight pullover that’s both wind and water resistant.  Because it hasn’t been waterproofed, the amount of breathability is amazing.  The material used in this piece, a super-light ripstop, keeps the shell under 2 oz., a feat you won’t find anywhere else on the market right now.  Even though the material is already super breatheable, the neck zipper offers the ability for the shell to really open up to let air pass more easily between the Ghost Whisperer and you.  This piece is also so packeable that you’ll be able to fit it in your pocket if need be.

Come in to Good Sports to see this new piece as well as a few other new pieces we’ve brought in by Mountain Hardwear!

Yeti Coolers

Until that first cold front of 2012 rolls through, we’re in for another summer of melted ice and constant trips to the convenience store to keep our beer and perishables cool and crisp. Unless you have a Yeti Cooler  ($199-$750) of course. Rotationally molded, heavy rubber T-latches and premium polyurethane insulation that is 50% thicker than a typical cooler. 4 days in the back of my car in August and PBR goodnes still on ice. Can I get a witness!?

Certified Bear Proof, 3in of Insulation and lock holes to keep the free loaders away.

Unbreakable Rubber Latches, the days of swimming after your drinks at the river are over

Removable, Replaceable, gasket-ed and leak-proof drain plug, means no old beer water stinking up your truck bed.

Stop by Good Sports today to get your own Yeti Cooler for the upcoming summer!

Evolv: Bandit SC

We’re finally stocking up on some climbing shoes now that we’re rolling into the warmer seasons.  Evolv will now be featured in our climbing shoe lineup with shoes like this, the Bandit SC.  The Bandit features a flat profile geared toward all round use, this means that it can be comfortable enough for longer sessions.  The flat toe is designed for crack climbing, making toe and foot jams easier. The show also features VTR3d, a varying thickness of toe rand that increases comfort and function of the shoe.  Evolv uses TRAX-XT rubber that performs great in varying temperatures. We have this and more here at Good Sports, so come by and check them out!

Mountain Hardwear- Thruway 50

ATTENTION ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKERS!

New from Mountain Hardwear is the Truway 50, a 50 liter bag that will astound with it’s mere 1 lb 13 oz (14oz for the large).  This pack features some ultralight materials that allow the bag to really shave off weight while still providing the durability needed out on the trail. The largest area Mountain Hardwear has cut back on weight is in it’s frame.  The pack has almost no frame to speak of.  However, it uses Mountain Hardwear’s HardWave framesheed that provides some great torsional stability when loaded.

The bag still has a great padding system on its’ shoulder straps and hip-belt (which is removable). This bag is perfect for those of you looking for an ultralight bag as a summit pack or weekender trip.  This bag can still be used for more extended trips, just keep in mind that you’ll really have to be counting ounces in order to make it work.

We’ve got this as well as their new Summitrocket 30 and Fluid 26. Come by and see all of these new bags by Mountain Hardwear, it’s about time to get geared up for the summer ahead!
