              Real X Gear – You Really Got Me	           realxgear.com

                                         As we wrap up the summer golf season, we thought it apropos to review
                                         some of the great new products for hot weather so that you can fully
                                         prepare for next year. You can choose from plenty of cooling garments
                                         and accessories out on the market, but we found Real X Gear to have the
                                         most complete lineup. Real X Gear uses the latest cooling technology on
                                         their shirts and hats as well as some interesting products we think golfers
                                         will love. The cooling collars and towels provided instant relief on some of
                                         the hottest days we encountered on the golf course. Simply wet with cool
water for the fastest refresher. But we were blown away by the Fogger, a portable cooling devise that fits in
the drink holder of any golf cart. The Fogger produces a fine mist that provided almost instant cooling. We
immediately decided that it become a necessity for the pool and beach in our household. Want to knock off
20 degrees during those outdoor activities? Then get Real X Gear. (Ciattei)

              Dr. Cool – Wear the Coolest	               drcoolrecovery.com

                                         You had me from hello, my name is Dr. Cool! You will want to keep this
                                         product line on your fashion radar. This golf season, we were delighted
                                         when we tried the new line of cooling clothing from Dr. Cool. The product
                                         with the groovy name works, and it works well. Using their patented
                                         innovative cool core technology, we found that the Dr. Cool men’s and
                                         women’s polos not only made us comfortable in the hot sun, but we also
                                         stayed dry. Add to that some very nicely placed mesh paneling and we felt
                                         right in fashion. Dr. Cool boasts chemical-free material, which is always
                                         good. The active caps and Chillbands provide UVA protection as well as
the shirts. Dr. Cool’s brand new line debuted with a variety of colors and sizes this summer, and it wouldn’t
surprize us a bit if the cleverly tagged brand made a big splash at next year’s PGA Merchandise Show in
Orlando! How cool would that be? (Ciattei)

              Sundicators UV Wristbands – Skin-surance	  sundicators.com &
              	                                               prettypale.org

                                       Every golfer should look at this product The Golf Guide reviewed for no
                                         other reason than to become more knowledgeable about the dangers of
                                         skin cancer and melanoma. Sundicators UV Wristbands help you keep
                                         an eye on the sun by monitoring the Ultra-Violet rays to which you are
exposed. Wearing a hat just does not provide good enough protection on the course from what is by far the
most common type of cancer in the United States. Sundicators take the guesswork out of determining how
much sun is too much sun. They automatically change color to let you know that it’s either time to reapply
sunscreen or time to get out of the sun. We tried these out on our beach trip and this wonderful addition to
any outdoor activity came in handy. Interestingly enough, Sundicators were created by skin cancer survivor
Kerry Lynn Spindler. All proceeds benefit her non-profit cancer awareness organization, Pretty Pale Inc.
Good stuff. (Ciattei)

              Sigvaris Performance Socks – Feet First	   sigvarisusa.com

                                         Take it from someone who has always had a problem with their lower
                                         extremities. The advancement in athletic socks have been a savior for
                                         this part-time jock. I was excited to try one of the leading brand of
                                         performance socks made by Sigvaris on my somewhat lethargic legs.
                                         Sigvaris uses the latest high tech fabrics for a cool, dry fit. The quality
of the details built into this sock makes them different. The Achilles tendon protector really assisted my
normally sore ankles. The soft cushioning around the heel and toe helps to prevent against those nasty
sports blisters that always seem to pop up. Most of all I noticed the compression around the Sigvaris
Performance Sock. You can feel them reach their goal of improved blood circulation and increased oxygen
delivery as it happens. I was so surprised to see a neighbor sporting the socks when I was out on my daily
morning walk. The four new, fun shades made them hard to miss! (Ciattei)
