Oakley Zulu Jacket - Men's
The Oakley Zulu jacket finds its roots in South Africa. Well, not really, but this sweet jacket is a great stand alone piece in moderately cold climates or as a midlayer for skiing, riding, or when the weather turns really nasty. This semi-puffy is filled with Thermalite insulation that keeps you toasty. Ripstop nylon is naturally water resistant and can shed light, dry snow. Contrast quilted stitching and a shorter cut make the Zulu feels at home on the hill or heading to a show downtown.

...warm...
This is a really warm jacket out on the slopes... not bulky so makes good liner for say a goretex hard shell. There is a slight problem with the zipper getting caught but that could be just me not being dextrous with boarding gloves on.

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
