OnCloud Men's Cloud Venture Peak

Following on from my recent run with the impressive urban CloudSwift trainers, I am now excited to be testing out another pair. This time the OnCloud Men's Cloud Venture Peak. I set to the hills. These are tougher shoes and are specialised for trail running and long off-road runs in mind. Heavier than the Cloudswift, weighing in at just 295 grams, it’s still a lightweight trail running shoe that's big on cushioning, protection and grip.

On Cloudswift Trainers

After my 15-minute warm up exercise routine, I set out on bi-weekly 4-mile city run. I wanted to put these Cloudswift trainers to the test. Before I put them on, I had to re-lace the trainers. Call it what you like but since an early age I have to make sure the lengths are correct on the laces as well as the tension across the top of my feet. This process was over quickly and soon were upon my feet. The first thing I noticed was how light they felt, very bouncy and springy too.

Maui Jim Shallows sunglasses

These polarised aviator sunglasses from Maui JIm put a fetching spin on an old classic. Aviators have always been the best sunglasses style for me to wear, so I was thrilled to review these. The style is timeless, but that doesn’t mean these glasses are just more of the same. Maui Jim have made them with attention to detail; the arms of these glasses are very slim, yet being made of lightweight titanium, they don’t feel fragile.

Selfkaire Kairetool massager

The Selfkaire Kairetool is a deep tissue massager which claims to have a unique twist. You can use this handy device to knead tight muscles and resolve aches and pains, including stubborn issues such as lockjaw. As a massager, it’s brilliant. However, this isn’t all the Kairetool offers: this tool claims to firm up and slim down the massaged areas of your body, and there seems to be reems of users who agree!
