How’s your New Year resolutions going chaps? Welcome to 2017, a year which is most certainly going to be better than the previous. This month we’ve searched high and low for some of the coolest wares om the market such as; a jacket which heats itself, shoes with their own cooling system and a stylish sportswear range that'll keep your fitness motivations in check. So, following on from our December round-up, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite products and releases for the month of January.

Reebok CrossFit Nano 7 

Reebok this month launched the Reebok CrossFit Nano 7 training shoe, upholding its legacy as one of the leading footwear brands in the CrossFit community. As Reebok continues to evolve the Nano franchise, adjustment to the ultimate training shoe includes precise refinement to the silhouette, helping to improve the fit for every athlete. Built as the ultimate training shoe, the Nano 7 allows anyone pushing their body through a work out to be light on their feet. The inclusion of Nanoweave technology helps to achieve the most comfortable, most durable, and most breathable Nano ever.

Burton SS17 Sportswear  

Burton Menswear Sport is designed for moving. Whether at the gym, around the park or on the football pitch - this performance gear will keep you cool and comfortable. From moisture-wicking t-shirts and leggings to reflective jackets and shorts you’ll find everything you need to help you reach your fitness goals. The range also uses quick dry technology and specially designed fabrics that help regulate your body temperature. Practical elements are covered too, with coin pockets, reflective strips, stretchy fabrics and headphone loops.

Heacket Heated Jacket 

Travelling in winter can be confusing because it’s difficult to find the right outfit that is both warm and versatile, especially for outdoor enthusiasts. This heated jacket provides a solution for outdoor sports and works steadily in different environments. Heacket is the most powerful waterproof heated jacket you can find in the market today. It is made with a Carbon-Based Soft Warming Fabric technique, helping make Heacket the world’s most durable heated jacket - achieving its ideal temperature in just 3 seconds which lasts up to 6 hours.

Spoke Bulletproof Range 

Spoke concentrate on helping men get the fit of their trousers right by taking a slightly different approach. Rather than having hundreds of styles with only a few sizes, they stick to a few key styles in 150 cuts - meaning that whatever your shape you'll be able to find the right fit for you. Perfect for colder, wetter commutes, The Bulletproof collection is loaded with smart features; the technical fabric repels water, stretches in two directions, and yet breathes naturally. For cyclists, Spoke have trimmed the trouser with discrete hi-vis features and have included discrete reflective piping in the leg (if you roll them) and a drop-down reflective flash in the back pocket.

Abbott Lyon Watches 

British watch brand and celebrity favourite Abbott Lyon have over eighty unisex watch styles on offer. The Stellar collection has a mixture of IP matt black cases - a new style for the ever-growing watch company. Other colours in the collection are core easy-to-wear colours such as nude, black, tan, gold and silver. This collection follows on from their very successful Kensington and Nato ranges.

ECCO Cool 2.0 

Looking and feeling chic at garden parties or while enjoying strolls in the park this forthcoming summer is all part of the fun and is exactly what the ECCO Cool 2.0 was made for. Combining rich leather uppers, with the 360° breathability of Gore-Tex Surround and PU faceting, the shoe is the perfect companion for hot summer days spent exploring a new city or pounding the well-trodden high-street. 100% waterproof and anatomically built for impeccable comfort, it comes with its own in-built cooling system, a series of hollow tubes built into the midsole to provide direct ventilation to the foot for the ultimate cooling sensation.

Puma evoPOWER VIGOR 1

Puma has kicked the new year off in style by unveiling its next generation POWER boot, the evoPOWER Vigor 1. The new football boot sees Puma’s greatest design overhaul yet in the POWER franchise, boasting an upgraded silhouette that keeps power and accuracy at the heart of the design. The Vigor 1 is the first in the POWER family to feature a stretchable Spandex sock construction, creating an ultra-comfortable slip on boot with a barefoot feeling. The Spandex sock lining works in harmony with the brand's next generation AccuFoam upper technology which features a new engineered 3D format.

AVI-8 Lancaster Bomber 4050

The AV4050 fits perfectly as both an unabashedly aviation inspired timepiece that is replete with design cues and inspiration from the iconic Lancaster Bomber. From the 316L marine grade stainless steel through to the supple premium leather strap (cross-stitched given the rigours of pilot usage), the AVI-8 Lancaster Bomber 4050 is built with quality and endurance in mind. What sets the watch out of course is the intriguing cockpit position like dial which displays day, date, seconds and 24 hour readout within individual cockpit inspired gauges that mimic those on board the Lancaster that would read out pressure, altitude, fuel and other critical diagnostics.
