With the Sea Otter Classic in full flight we have noticed the Mission Anti Sting sunscreen, the Bontrager R4 Aero tire, the Rocket Science 20BPM suit, the Ernest Lube and the TwinSix Cat 6 t-shirt.

Mission Skincare Anti Sting sunscreen

What: The Mission Skincare Anti Sting sunscreen is one of Sarah Haskins favorite products and easily fits in the back of a jersey pocket. As the name says, this sunscreen is not supposed to sting and it is non–comedogenic and PABA-free. Mission Skincare is an athlete owned brand.
Weight: 17 grams / 0.6 oz
MSRP: $8.99

Bontrager R4 Aero

What: Bontrager just introduced a new series of tires with the R moniker. One of those R tires is the R4 Aero and Bontrager calls it “the world’s fastest tire.” Is it? Well, we don’t know.
Weight: n/a
MSRP: $74.99
Website: www.bontrager.com




Rocket Science 20 BPM suit

What: Rocket Science 20BPM race suit comes in men’s and women’s version and according to Rocket Science (the brand) this thermoregulatory garment lowers the heart rate by 20bpm.
Color: as pictured
Sizes: S-XL
MSRP: $299.99

Ernesto Lube

What: It was actually our resident Pro Jordan Rapp who has noticed Ernesto Lube, a biodegradable soy-based lubricating fluid made for your drivetrain. You can grease your chain and feel good about the environment in one easy act. What else could you ask for?
Size: 4 oz
MSRP: $6
Website: www.ernestolube.com




Twinsix Cat 6 t-shirt

What: The Twinsix Cat 6 t-shirt is really meant for all those racers who really don’t race, but clearly triathletes who don’t race on the road should be proudly sporting this shirt. Come to think of it, even road Pros should rock it.
Color: Red
Sizes: S-XXL
MSRP: $22
