Chad's Crappy Corner! But it might be something good. (Might be.)


Chad starts off with the Sensoria T-Shirt + Heart Rate Monitor. Here's what the company says about it: Let your garment wear you, not the other way around. Our comfortable, smart t-shirt is light and fits the individual in both movement and shape, while providing elasticity and muscle support. Simply snap our HRM and track your performance, make progress, and take advantage of your overall fitness experience. Bluetooth Smart, Over 8 months of battery life, Works with top sports and fitness apps. Compatible apps: Sensoria Fitness (coming soon), Strava, Runtastic, MapMyRun, Endomondo, Runkeeper, PolarBeat, RunMeter. $149.00
And Chad's take: Chad likes the shirt and the way he can monitor his heartrate on his smart phone. He did point out that the size of his shirt runs toward the small size, so maybe you should order the next larger size than you normally need if you decide to buy one. Also Chad did not like the fact that the shirts don't have sleeves. It look like he felt a bit exposed. (Who knew Chad was so modest.)

Chad’s Gadget #2 this week: Bracketron TruRunner designed to protect you and your iPhone during workouts. Unlike fanny packs you’ve seen or used, the TruRunner is "stretchy" which is why it fits into this month's theme. And it’s stretchy for a reason. The elastic fabric stretches so you can put in all sorts of stuff like small electronics, keys, wallet, etc. And it’s designed to keep those goodies from bouncing around which would annoy, or injure you and maybe even your gadgets too. There's also an elastic strap so the TruRunner will easily stay on your body. But wait, there's more! A reflective tab glows when light shines on it which offers a safety advantage in the dark. And finally there's a waterproof interior to protect your gadgets from moisture. US $19.95, coming in May.
And Chad’s take? Chad likes this a lot. It doesn't take up much space around your waist and he liked the construction. He also said you could probably carry your phone under your shirt so it wouldn't even be noticed. The pouch is not huge, but big enough for a 5", maybe a 6" smart phone plus perhaps a key and cash.
