Each month we highlight cool gear and gadgets for athletes. Check out what's featured
One Tough Camera
It’s shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof and crushproof. And it takes amazing photos, too. Olympus’ Stylus 770 SW is a 7.1-megapixel digital camera that was built for the active lifestyle. Take it in the water to depths of 33 feet, use it in winter temps as cold as 14ºF, or just carry it along anytime, anywhere for great shots of your adventures. $380, www.olympus.com
Baby on Board
Once baby makes three, you may see your daily four-miler becoming a distant memory. But with the BOB Revolution Stroller baby can come along for the ride. The stroller’s front wheel can swivel for easy maneuverability or lock for stability while running, and the suspension system provides a smooth ride for your future marathoner. $359, www.bobtrailers.com
