Music on the move.

We don't like to walk in silence; we'd prefer to get our steps in while jamming to our favorite tunes or chatting with friends. We do both with the help of our JLab Epic Sport Earbuds, which are sweat-proof, wireless and rechargable, lasting up to 12 hours at a shot.

Magic in your Jacket.

We used to hate walking on cold, blustery days, but then we gave it another go with the Torch Coat Heater. This portable, battery-operated heater fits inside your jacket and keeps you toasty warm, and it's just the motivation we need to keep moving in the winter.

Light the Way.

Sometimes, our days are crazy and we can only walk after dark. When we do, we rock the HEADLIGHTZ rechargeable LED beanie. It’s a warm, knitted beanie that's fitted with a headlight offering three light modes. How’s that for hands-free convenience?

Hydration On-the-Go.

Even winter walkers need to stay hydrated, and the Hydroflask 21 oz. Standard Mouth bottle helps us do just that. Pair it with the Tag Along Bottle Sling and you’ve got yourself a new favorite walking companion.

Beauty in Motion.

We’re suckers for great products that are both cute and practical, and we found just that with the Dr. Motion Sport Compression Sleeve.  Specifically designed for active women, these antimicrobial sleeves feature graduated support for your calves to help reduce muscle fatigue and prevent soreness and injury.

$10.00

Cozy and Chic.

Just because it's cold doesn't mean you can't look cute, and that's exactly why we love the headwear at Art4All. Inspired by the beauty of landscapes, artist Abby Paffrath uses the centuries-old technique of Batik to create her designs using hot wax and dye.

Beanie: $31.95, Headband: $21.95

Sweat-Friendly Skin Care.

FRÉ Skincare’s GLOW ME Tinted Moisturizer is the beauty product we didn’t even know we needed, and now we can’t see a walk without it. Why? It’s the first ever sweat-friendly skin protection that’s sweatproof, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic with SPF 15 and a universal tint to even your skin tone. 

$45.00

Safety First.

Who says safety gear has to be ugly and outrageous? We love that Noktillu has created reflective designs that we can quickly add to any outfit in our closet using just our iron, instantly increasing our visibility while walking.
