Looking for a ‘sensible’ gift for your Dad? NuMetrex has a great offer for Father’s Day: a 20% discount on the Cardio Shirt for Men.

NuMetrex has a range of Cardio Apparel we love to write about. They look gorgeous and work perfectly. Getting a bit in shape at the begin of summer is on the agenda of many, not only our Dads’. The Cardio Shirts are more motivating than the chest straps that look always a bit funny on men beside the fact that they are uncomfortable and slip during workout.

Constructed of an advanced wicking fabric with special sensory fibers integrated directly into the garment. The sensing fabric moves comfortably with the body, picking up the heart’s pulse and sending it to a compatible heart rate monitor watch or cardio machine via a tiny transmitter that is snapped into a pocket on the shirt.

The NuMetrex Cardio Shirt for men is available in graphite and blue steel and goes for regular price of $58.95 but using the coupon code DAD during checkout you get 20% discount which makes it $47.16

This coupon code is working from now until June 15 when Father’s Day will be celebrated. Make sure your Dad has a transmitter and heart rate monitor watch otherwise you need to take care for that as well.

Get your Dad this year something ‘sensible’ – got it

We are well into the spring season and it’s time to get out of the chair and do more exercise.

I was looking around for my new Wearable Electronic workout gear and came across this very interesting Polar compatible Biker shorts from Nalini, an Italian company specialized in high performance biker outfit.

Shirts and Tops with integrated textile sensors are available from Numetrex and Adidas but biker shorts using a textile sensor is new and a great idea.

Not only does it take away the very annoying chest-straps that rub the skin, Nalini placed the Polar transmitter on the back where it does not interfere with your action. The attachment of the Polar transmitter is done via simple snaps.

The Rododendro bib shorts upper part is made of breathable mesh, reflecting materials on the back and rubberized bottom leg bands are more features of the Rododendro bib shorts.

Nalini Rododendro bib shorts are part of the top line in the Nalini product range, developed based of the experiences from professional bikers. The use of innovative materials, a unique style and high tech heart-rate sensing technology makes these shorts an excellent example of ‘made in Italy’ sports fashion.

Available for example via this link for € 119,95 (around $187.80) excluding a Polar WearLink Transmitter.

The Rododendro bib shorts get the highest marks on our Sports-Tech scale, for it’s overall style and for its innovative use of e-textiles.
