News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Dec. 28, 2021: If you are someone that likes to exercise or play games, and sports outside, you are not alone. Getting outside is excellent for your health, both physical and mental, and engaging in sports offers a heap of benefits of its own. Soccer and baseball are also extremely common in the Caribbean, so there will be no surprise if these are what you get into!
That being said, if you are new to this “going outside thing,” which might have been encouraged by lockdown, you might want to know if there is anything you should invest in, in particular for your new passion.
Here are of the essential staples you should invest in for outdoor sports so you can play in comfort!
Decent Footwear
Having the correct footwear for outside will make sure you can avoid any preventable injuries. An example of this would be some proper soccer boots with tracks, trainers that are designed for running outside with a significant grip, or boots that are warm, lined, and support the ankle for hiking. Decent footwear is a must if you want to avoid damp feet and potential injuries.
Contacts
If you are a glasses wearer, you will know that they can be difficult at the best of times, but when you are playing sport outside, they can be even more of a pain than usual. Not only do you not want them to fall off your face while you are in the middle of a game, but you also do not want them to fall on the hard ground, get broken, fog up in your face or have the rain obstruct your vision. Investing in a pair of sports contact lenses can take all of these issues away and give you complete freedom to run around, jump, dance, or do whatever you need to do outside without any sight restrictions.
Waterproofs
Some good waterproofs can be the difference between you getting completed drenched while engaging in a game or coming off a little damp. Not only can having wet clothes completely hinder your performance, weighing you down, but it can also feel significantly uncomfortable, making you cold, rubbing against your skin in the wrong way, and can generally throw you off focus. If you know you are going to be engaging in a sport outside and the weather is not exactly friendly, then having some waterproofs on hand can help you shoulder the worst of it while you can still go out and enjoy yourself!
There are plenty of excellent waterproof pieces to choose from so you can find one that is right for your sport.
