On the Run with LimbGear

Ready for a run, I stepped out of my car with keys, cell phone and iPod in hand. I looked over what I was wearing and realized my running shorts had no pockets and I was not wearing a jacket. A quick assessment told me I could not run without carrying one or more of those objects in my hands. I really hate to hold something while I'm running. It just doesn't feel right. Decisions. Decisions.

I untied my shoe and threaded my car key through the laces, tucking the key under the crisscrossed section of strings so the key would not flop around during the run. Hoping my child would not have to call me if class let out early, I put the cell phone back in the car along with the iPod, sad that ACDC and Queen would not be around to motivate me to pick up the pace when I needed to.

Ironically, I had just finished writing an article for the Blue Ridge Business Journal about Tyson Daniel's company, LimbGear®. Daniel designs and manufactures MP3-enabled clothing and athletic accessories such as armbands.

Known as the LimbGear® I-Sleeve™, this armband is designed--you guessed it--to hold objects. Note the plural "objects". The I-Sleeve™ comes with, not one, but two pockets! The clear vinyl pocket allows you to see the display of your MP3 player without having the take off the armband. The second pocket is a utility pocket designed to hold keys, cash, phone, whatever will fit.

LimbGear's I-Sleeve, along with their other products, including MP3-enabled clothing, are also available with collegiate branding options. A VCU I-Sleeve is pictured here.

I learned my lesson. From now on,I'll be wrapped in an I-Sleeve and on my next run with LimbGear.

Kelly,

We will need to get you one of each of our products so you do not find yourself in this predicament again!

As you know, our products represent a whole new product category, which we call "MPFriendly Performace Technapparel." This new product category/line was dedveloped out of a need to have "your stuff" with you with having to wear a proverbial "bat-belt" when you engage in any exercise or outdoor activity.

Obviously then, it is consumer driven and was formed precisely by the need for something to assist with the problems you just described.

The neat thing about the LimbGear I-Sleeve is that even this most basic of our products (but yet still comfortable and stylish) is unique becaues the extra pocket you described really is essential to be fully prepared when you go out on your next run (or: walk, hike, white-water trip, snorkeling trip, athletic event, road trip, etc.).

Just remember, when it comes to securing the things you always need to have on-hand, LimbGear is made to: "Take It With You" and we are true to our motto!

Tyson

Kelly,

I am a LimbGear fan myself. I love the "Noggin' Net" (MP3 enabled 'watch cap' or 'beanie') and the "Scocket" (MP3 enabled scarf)...coolest stuff. Innovative!
