Sometimes it seems that everything has already been invented and reinvented for runners, but there are fans of their craft who offer, at first glance, very non-obvious, unusual gizmos. And you start to think: “maybe this is what I really needed?”
Crowdfunding may surprise you the most in this regard! So, let's see what we collected money for the new season ?!
A bottle that's comfortable to wear on your shorts!
The value of water in our life is difficult to overestimate. And really hydration needs to be maintained, who would argue! But, according to the authors of the Simple project, all bottles are extremely uncomfortable.
The developer spent several months looking for a partner who would "sculpt" for him a bottle of the desired shape, which ... can be conveniently attached to the outfit! The hook-shaped bottle clings directly to the shorts. The dream of those who went for a run, not otherwise!
TRAK - it turns out runners need a knife
It's hard to imagine right off the bat in what conditions a runner will need a knife. Perhaps (God forbid) for self-defense. But the authors of this project are sure that they are needed!
In any case, in the campaign description it is noted that the runners liked it very much because of its small size and compact, convenient size. Hmm ... Be that as it may, the titanium knife has a rather specific shape: you need to wear it like a ring - on the index finger, so the risk of losing and dropping it is minimal.
If you are running in extreme conditions, why not ?!
Stryve Runner Keychain
Everything is simpler here: sometimes it is really customary, when you go out for a run, to close the door of the house behind you. But where to put the keys at the same time is not always obvious: often summer equipment does not have convenient pockets.
Stryve is a magnetic keychain that can be attached to your pants. Thus, it will always be slightly felt, which minimizes the risk of being left under the door. However, the mount is said to be very reliable.
Safety Bell - RunBell
There are tons of solutions dedicated to safety during training! These are numerous luminous strips and stickers for the evening, and special headphones with open ears, and much more.
But, for example, glowing diode stripes on clothes are not very productive during the daytime. Plus, not only motorists, cyclists, but also other runners and ordinary people can pose a danger to a runner.
So that the runner can notify the world around him, the guys from the RunBell project, in fact, reduced the bicycle bell, made a ring out of it and suggest that runners use it for safe runs!
LumaGo - color safety + notifications
And here is an amusing example of color indication. Run in the dark, and the strip on your belt lights up in a customized color, notifying passers-by and passers-by that you are somewhere nearby.
An interesting feature can be recognized that color markers can be configured for certain notifications from a smartphone so as not to be distracted by the phone every time someone calls or writes.
Runners - for the environment!
Conceptual crowdfunding project aimed at protecting the environment. There is logic: you help yourself to be healthier, so don't ruin nature with plastic or paper cups.
The reusable flat ZippyCup is easy to take with you even without pockets. At the right time, get it, drink water, and then put it away again, albeit under a T-shirt. It weighs little, always at hand, but at the same time there is no harm to the environment!
