It’s officially spring, and we’re kicking the season off with our favorite new products. From high-tech athletic recovery and travel gadgets to everyday use items that are sure to make life easier (And more stylish).
DNA Vibe’s Jazz Band “Live”
DNA Vibe’s newest product, the Jazz Band “Live” wearable light therapy device, is an innovative and versatile tool for anyone seeking to improve performance and recovery. The Jazz Band “Live” is a compact and comfortable device that fits around all parts of the body, emitting low-level light therapy (LLLT) to improve circulation and relieve pain.
While we’re not avid users of LLLT (besides infrared saunas) we did find the Jazz Band to be an effective recovery tool when used in conjunction with other recovery staples such as proper rest and, our favorite, ice baths. The two most common scenarios we used the Jazz Band was for recovery from squats and distance running. The device is used by Olympic athletes and we can definitely see why after trying it out for ourselves.
One of the standout features of the Jazz Band “Live” is its portability (can’t carry around an infrared sauna, am I right?). The device is lightweight and can be worn on-the-go. There’s seriously nothing like it when it comes to LLLT. The device is also rechargeable, so users won’t have to worry about constantly replacing batteries or further shopping.
The Jazz Band “Live” uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The red light penetrates the skin to increase circulation and reduce inflammation, while the near-infrared light targets deeper tissues and can help relieve pain. You can customize the duration and intensity of the light therapy sessions to suit your recovery, making the device suitable for just about anyone.

NRS High Roll Duffel Dry Bag

This simple yet innovative solution is for anyone looking to increase their kitchen counter space and has a super sleek look – especially the black color. This magnetic shelf attachment is designed to fit on the top of most standard stoves, providing a convenient and easily accessible surface for kitchen items like spices, utensils, and cookbooks.

Baseline Midlayer by Coalatree
The Baseline Midlayer by Coalatree is a versatile and high-performing piece of outdoor apparel. Designed with the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and hikers in mind, this midlayer is made of a soft and comfortable blend of recycled polyester and spandex, providing excellent warmth and stretch. It’s also ideal for both keeping warm on a crisp spring hike without having to pack a coat.
As tent camping season approaches here in NJ, we seriously can’t wait to get out there with this midlayer. One of the features we liked the breathability. The fabric is engineered to wick away moisture, making it an awesome choice for high-intensity activities like hiking or camping. The fabric is also odor-resistant, so users can wear it multiple times without worrying about sweating.
Another benefit of the Baseline Midlayer is its versatility. The midlayer can be worn on its own on milder days, or as a layering piece under a jacket on colder days. The midlayer also features a zippered chest pocket for storing small items like keys or a phone – which does make the bottom look a bit baggy at times, but it’s worth it.
Overall, the Baseline Midlayer by Coalatree is a well-designed and high-performing piece of outdoor apparel that we highly recommend if you’re looking for something functional and stylish, making it a great choice for anyone looking to stay comfortable and warm while enjoying the great outdoors.
