Workout And Cool Down This Summer With Sport Chalet

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With summer in full swing, many plan to spend more time enjoying the sun and taking their workouts outside. Premier specialty sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet encourages consumers to partake in outdoor activities this summer while utilizing a number of cooling and hydration products to stay safe in the heat.

"Many athletes will take the challenge whatever it is during the hot summer months; as heat-related injuries are a prime concern in the hottest season, it is our goal to equip consumers with the proper gear and apparel to withstand the blistering weather," said Sport Chalet Expert Paul Smedley. "To help ensure both safety and comfort in the heat, Sport Chalet offers cooling and hydration products for those who don't want to forgo their outdoor workouts this summer."

Instead of feeling defeated by the rising temperatures, Smedley provides tips and products to beat the heat and enjoy what the warmer months have to offer:

• Stay hydrated. Whether working out or just relaxing outside, the best way to guarantee safety in the heat is to stay fully hydrated throughout the day. To keep cool on the inside and outside, the O2 Cool Arctic Squeeze Insulated Mist N Sip Bottle is designed with an easy-to-squeeze misting feature. Carry water hands-free while trekking the outdoors with the CamelBak Fourteener 20 100 Oz Hydration Pack, which includes extra pockets for valuable personal belongings. For the most extreme sports, the flexible and durable design of the Vapur Element 1L Water Bottle is an essential.
• Dress without the mess. Rather than worrying about being drenched after a workout, send the sweat packing with the super-cooling and UV blocking fabric of the Columbia Zero Rules Short Sleeve Shirt available for Men and Women. If a refreshing boost of coolness is needed, pack the Grabber Magic Cool Cooling Cloth featuring high water absorption, retention and UV protection that lasts for hours.
• Run comfortably. Lace up in the Nike FS Lite Run Running Shoe, available for men and women, and hit up a nearby running trail. These shoes feature ventilated construction and cooling mesh to reduce moisture build-up, making strides light-weight and comfortable.
• Avoid odor. Escape the odor and athlete's foot that may accompany a tough, hot workout with adidas Men's Cushioned 3-Stripe No Show Sock and adidas Women's ClimaLite II No Show Sock. With sweat-absorbing fabric and Anti-Microbial treatment, these workout socks offer ultimate ventilation while the arch compression provides extra support and cushioning.
• Protect eyes from the sun. There's no need to sacrifice style while protecting eyes from the sun's rays. The sophisticated Oakley Necessity Sunglasses and Oakley Radarlock Path Sunglasses Polished Black are lightweight and paired with Plutonite® lenses for 100% UV protection while enjoying the action outdoors.
• Be cool headed. On long summer runs protect the most important part of the body with a running cap. The lightweight Marmot Women's Tilden Running Cap features breathable construction and is outfitted with reflective logos for safety, while the Under Armour Men's UA Classic Mesh Stretch Cap is equipped with a HeatGear sweatband to soak up sweat and maintain maximum comfort.
• Stay cool in the pool. There's no better way to cool off than going for a swim or participating in water sports. The durable TYR Women's Phoenix Splice 1PC Swimsuit and TYR Men's Samurai Jammer Swimsuit provide reliable and sleek coverage without the extra weight.
