Nike Pro Hypercompression Tights

At StylePilot we are massive fans of Nike, and it’s always with great excitement to try out their latest garments. As spring has just started, what a better occasion than testing the Nike Pro Hypercompression tights.

To transform into the best you ever you have to train fast. Pick your sport, speed is the determining factor between success and failure.

Speed can be broken into different components – detection, reaction, acceleration, linear speed, change fo direction, agility, endurance. No matter what type of training you are training faster to become the best you ever.

The breathable Nike Pro Hypercompression Men’s Training Tights give you compressive support and freedom of movement during your toughest workouts.

Control vibration

Silicon-injected Hypercompression technology at the calves and quads offers targeted support, helping to reduce muscle vibration during high-intensity training.

Zero distraction: dry and lightweight stretch woven fabrication does not take on moisture.

Stay cool

Smooth, warp-knit mesh panels in high-heat zones enhance airflow where you need it most, helping you stay cool when your workout heats up.

Ventilation: breathable stretch mesh allows for heat to escape.

Move freely

The tights’ woven fabric offers four-way stretch, giving you the natural mobility you need for lifting, cardio or plyometric drills.

Zoned compression: injected silicon provides lockdown in strategic muscle groups for a coiled and compact feel.

More details: Dri-FIT Technology helps keep you dry and comfortable. Elastic waistband for a comfortable fit | Elastic waistband for a comfortable fit | Flat seams feel smooth against your skin | Fabric: Body: Dri-FIT 84% polyester/16% elastane. Mesh/mesh lining: Dri-FIT 77% polyester/23% elastane | Machine wash

Tips on how to put your compression garments on

Those are designed to be tight fitting and as such you should take care when putting them on to prevent damage to any part of the item. We would recommend taking your time and don’t force larger limbs through small openings whilst the materials used compression clothing do possess excellent elasticity qualities. Be especially careful with the clothing gripping areas which are always slightly less stretchy. It is often easier to progressively pull the clothing into place rather than try and get it on in a single movement. Enjoy 😉

New Year’s (Sports) Resolutions

According to one commonly cited statistic only 8% of everyone actually keep their New Year’s resolutions! So, for all the good intentions only a tiny fraction of us keep our resolutions.
Let’s keep it simple and let’s keep the resolution list short!

For now let’s focus on sport: a healthy body for a healthy mind! And before we hit the gym, let’s look out for the best sport gear!

Lucky us, for this season SuperdrySport has thought of it all. Their range focuses on the finer details and product technicalities whilst continuing the brand’s celebration of self-expression and empowerment.

Bionic Compression Half Zip Top | Was £74.99 now £37.50 RRP

We really like that their SS19 range blurs the boundaries between sportswear and casualwear. The direct result is that they brought a stand-out collection designed to take athleisure to a new level.

The Active Sport range for men is an amalgamation of both indoor and outdoor training product, giving medium-impact support using lightweight and stretch materials to keep wearers comfortable and cool.

Colours & Fabrics

A palette of strong red, navy, white and grey is forefront with an injection of mono camo across hero items such as the Gym Tech Stretch Jogger and Ziphood, made with thermal properties to ensure ultimate comfort. Retro styling is modernised with tape and mesh detailing, providing an offering that’s comfortable enough to train in as well as kick back in.

Sport 021 Joggers | Was £59.99 now £41.99 RRP

Menswear’s tank tops in shades of olive and light grey are balanced with fluorescent orange cagoules, all with high visibility reflective detailing.

StylePilot essentials

Japan Breakers Utility Jacket | Was £139.99 now £97.99 RRP

Gym Tech Stretch Track Top | £59.99 RRP

Active Training Shorts | Was £29.99 now £20.99 RRP

Gym Sport Runner Leggings | Was £39.99 now £20.00 RRP

Technical notes

This range is functional yet sleek incorporating lightweight, seamless compression fabrics detailed with subtle reflective panels. Waterproof and wind resistant components mean whatever the weather conditions, this collection – let’s hope – will help conquer fitness goals.

Must have accessories

Super Steel Bottle | £14.99 RRP

XL Sports Barrel Bag | £44.99 RRP

Super Freesprint Weave Trainers | £64.99 RRP

Have a great active 2019 year! And be one of those 8%! ;- )

Golden Serenade by Jusbox Perfumes

It is not often that you get blown away by a new fragrance. At StylePilot we’ve tried the Golden Serenade by JUSBOX. We fell in love with its strong body, its unique notes of pure oud oil, amber and saffron. 

This extrait de parfum is a unique fragrance. Wearing it is a real statement itself. 

It is inspired by the first gold record that was awarded to Glenn Miller and his band in 1942 for the sales of 1 million records.

THE JUSBOX PERFUMES BRAND

Jusbox is an exclusive range of perfumes whose concept is based on the similarity between perfume and music. Music is indeed the key inspiration for all their fragrances.

Music and Perfume share a similar and extraordinary power: intensely and yet involuntarily they both have the ability to bring back the most hidden emotions and memories. A smell that marked a specific moment in your life comes back and suddenly makes unforgettable memories re-emerge. In the same way, hearing a song that meant so much to you instantly touches your soul, recalling moments you thought you had forgotten.

It is no coincidence that music and perfume both speak the common language of notes. The perfumer, just like the musician, plays notes and accords to compose superb and touching harmonies. Sometimes the language of perfumery may appear difficult and hard to decode and this is why Jusbox makes use of the language of music, usually more familiar, in order to make everyone clearly understand the true essence of its perfumes.

 A COLLECTION OF NOTES

Icons Collection takes its inspiration from musical and generational icons emerging from social, historic, cultural and artistic contexts, lending their voice to the messages, emotions, ideas and trends of their times.

Genres Collection interprets the characteristic rhythm, the emotional force, character and historical and cultural background of a musical genre. Musical genres are the soul of a nation, of generations and social and political movements and are indelibly ingrained within us.

Music Matters is inspired by the benefits that both music and perfume can have on our soul. It doesn’t matter which genre, music has the power to inspire multiple responses – physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioural – at a very personal level. In the same way, scents can be used to enhance and improve our well being, thanks to the aromatherapy effects of its ingredients.

PACKAGING

Everything in the world of Jusbox is ispired by music, even the packaging. The squared, modern, elegant, ergonomic bottle is a 78 ml to pay homage to the first phonographic disc that was 78 rpm. On its top, the cap celebrates the most well known auditory mean in the history of music: the vinyl. The rigid soft touch box is similar as shape and opening to a CD box. Inside you will find a leaflet that explains the inspiration and mood of each perfume.

A GREAT CHRISTMAS idea?

£250/ 78ml, exclusively at www.selfridges.com

Timex X Red Wing Shoes Company

Just stumbled upon that (old) collaboration that we really liked at StylePilot. Since Timex and Red Wing Shoes are the very definition of American Heritage, we just thought we could publish those and have them in our archives.

You can still shop the Waterbury collection at Timex.

What made Red Wing Shoes Company the perfect partner for Timex is that each product is handmade and built to perform and outlast. Red Wing have more than a century of experience behind them, with their brand history and heritage.

Starting as the Waterbury Clock Company in Connecticut, 1854, Timex launched the collection of the same name to celebrate their 160th anniversary as an authentic watchmaker, using designs from the brand’s vast archives as inspiration.

Timex X Red Wing Shoes featured three unique timepieces, including one chronograph, with sleek black faces set against silver cases to perfectly show off the Red Wing Shoes leather straps.

About Red Wing Shoes Company

Red Wing Shoes was founded in Red Wing, Minnesota in 1905 and is built on the principle of manufacturing footwear that represents the American ideals of prosperous work and excellence.
