Beachin’ Towels By Vertty

FINALLY! Beach season is right around the corner. While you might be worrying about booking vacations and toning up that six-pack (OK, four-pack?) there’s one thing you don’t have to worry about – your beach towel. Vertty towels have you covered (literally). You’ve never seen anything like these – four inches longer and 30 percent lighter than you’re run of the mill beach towel – these guys are really stunning and completely wacky. They are made from eco-friendly materials – including Ketten (a fancy term for 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester), which means they will dry faster – no one likes a soggy beach towel.

It all started when Vertty’s CEO Diogo Cruz wanted to turn a simple object like a towel – into something extraordinary. Cruz and his team of experts produce the line in his home of Portugal – with the purpose of helping his country’s economy.

So what makes these handmade beach towels so brilliant?

Well to start – their shape, patterns, and vibrant colors. There are nine color choices to choose from: classic orange, classic blue, classic green, yellow, midnight blue, coral, enigma, savvy, and jade. The nontraditional cutout and ziz-zag shape is different and cool, while the geometrical pieces give these future summer-staples an added amount of style.

Oh, and did we mention that they also have a waterproof pocket to hold your cell phone? BOOM.

Memorial Day is just around the corner, so make sure to pick up a towel or two at www.tryvertty.com

I ran 50 miles on roads and trails—how the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 performed
Is the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 the only running shoe you need?
Craft Nordlite Ultra 2

When it comes to shoes, runners have almost too many choices. There are daily trainers, speed shoes, trail shoes, plated racers, and more. High-end models start around $150, so building up a “quiver” of footwear requires $300, $450, or more. That can make the simple, refreshing act of running an expensive hobby.

However, some manufacturers produce road-to-trail shoes that can handle both roads and trails, as well as everything in between. One such model is the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2, which features a supercritical midsole and a lugged outsole. I tested it on the roads and trails of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to answer the question: Is this the only running shoe you need? Read on for my take.
