SportFits of the month May
There's something for (almost) everyone in May! In addition to a harmonious cycling and hiking outfit, we have also thought of our camping fans and have a practical equipment tip up our sleeve. We also have summery sandals for warm temperatures especially for women. Have fun discovering our May suggestions!
Comfortable camping with Helinox and Nemo
Are you adventurous, a keen camper or an angler? Then we have the perfect combination for you for more comfort on your adventures.
Let's begin with the foldable and portable High Cot One Long aluminum lounger from Helinox! The lightweight, easy-to-transport model has an innovative tensioning system with locking levers and offers a high level of sleeping comfort. The assembly is child's play thanks to the intuitive elastic band system. The largest lounger in the Helinox range can carry up to 145 kilograms without any problems. Practical: With a height of 38 cm, it can be used as a bench during the day. Many people also use it as a guest bed at home when things need to move quickly.
For even more comfort on your excursions, we recommend the award-winning Fillo Luxury pillow from Nemo. You can inflate it quickly using a valve and store it easily and compactly in the integrated pack sack. The pillow cover is extremely soft and easily washable. With a length of 51 cm, this model is also suitable for broad-shouldered people. The drawstring on the underside can be used to store folded clothing and thus create additional height.
But what would a camping trip be without a sleeping bag? With the Nemo Forte Mens 35 Endless Promise synthetic sleeping bag, we make this equipment tip perfect. Side sleepers in particular will love the sustainable 3-season model with its Classic Spoon™ shape for more space at the knees and shoulders. The multi-stage zipper system with optimized Thermo Gill™ ventilation openings also increases the temperature range. So nothing stands in the way of your camping adventure!

Dainese bike outfit for pros
Anyone who feels at home on MTB trails will love this Dainese outfit. Safe cycling from head to toe is guaranteed!
One of the highlights is the lightest full-face helmet of all time. The Dainese Linea 01 Mips is barely noticeable on the head and, with its 29 air intakes, ensures continuous ventilation and optimum heat exchange. The integrated MIPS® system offers the highest safety standards by reducing the rotational forces that are transferred to the head in the event of an impact. But that's not all: the helmet is equipped with the innovative NFC-twICEme system, which enables the rapid transmission of personal data and thus extremely shortens rescue times in the event of an accident. Another asset is the unrestricted view thanks to the wide field of vision, flexible helmet peak and special chin guard design.
If you like to push yourself to the limit on your rides, we recommend knee and elbow protectors for even more safety. With its "Trail Skins" protector range, Dainese offers the ideal balance between good riding performance and sufficient protection. With the Trail Skins Air Elbow Guards and Trail Skins Pro Knee Guards, you can experience maximum freedom of movement and safe riding fun.
As for the outfit, this time we opted for a simple and timeless gray for the jersey and jacket. The long-sleeved Dainese HGL Jersey LS fits perfectly under the Dainese HGC Shell. Both items are from the HGL line, which stands for breathability and extreme freedom of movement.
The lightweight jersey consists of two highly breathable, quick-drying fabrics on the sleeves and torso for the necessary coolness on summer mountain bike tours. Should the weather change, you are well equipped with the waterproof jacket. It is cut specifically for cycling - short at the front and slightly longer at the back to completely cover your back even when in the riding position. When you don't need it, you can fold it up small and stow it away.
The right shorts are particularly important when mountain biking. You'll be delighted with the Dainese HGL Shorts Pro! They are made of high-strength nylon, which is extremely elastic on the one hand and protects you well in the event of a fall on the other. Thanks to the pre-shaped legs and anatomical back construction, the shorts fit perfectly so that you can concentrate fully on your performance on the bike. They can be adjusted at the hips in a single movement and, thanks to the integrated Hook Button™ system, you can attach your Dainese gloves there to save time during fast stop-and-go phases. The robust Dainese HGR Gloves EXT gloves with three-dimensional abrasion protection pattern on the entire back of the hand go perfectly with the outfit.
The Dainese outfit is completed with the Hgacto Pro MTB shoe for maximum control on the bike. The advantages of the shoe are the innovative lacing system, an XS Ride sole made of Vibram for super grip and a midsole made of EVA (= rubber-like plastic) for the necessary sensitivity on the pedals. The heel and toe cap are reinforced with TPU (= thermoplastic polyurethane) so that you are optimally protected on your trails.

Function meets style: Karpos hiking outfits for women
Karpos hiking clothing stands for high quality and well thought-out design. Women love the outfits because they fit together perfectly and the individual pieces can also be easily combined with each other.
We start with two trouser models, both of which are incredibly light and comfortable and therefore perfect for any outdoor activity. If you prefer a simpler style and prefer easier hikes, the Karpos Easyfrizz W Pants are the perfect choice. Made from 230 g Sensitive® Power material, they offer maximum freedom of movement and excellent breathability. For real mountain tours and women who like a slightly livelier design, we recommend the Karpos Rock W Pants. In addition to stretchy material at the front, this model has bi-elastic material at the knees and back. Thanks to a DWR treatment, water and dirt are repelled from the surface, while Kortec reinforcements in the lower area provide additional abrasion resistance.
We also have two T-shirt suggestions for you. Cool: both models are available in countless colors, so you'll quickly find your favorite shirt! The Karpos Loma W Jersey basic shirt is a simpler version, but with its huge selection of colors it embodies the pure attitude to life that Karpos stands for. The comfortable K-Sense material keeps you cool and dry even on very hot days. The design of the Karpos Nuvolau W Jersey, inspired by the Dolomites, is a little more striking. Weighing just 98 grams, the shirt is the ideal companion for summer tours.
As the weather can change quickly in the mountains, we also have various solutions for layering. The Karpos Lavaredo W Vest is an all-round talent that is suitable for hiking, trail running or mountain biking. As soon as the wind picks up, this vest is the ideal companion, offering you uncomplicated and quick protection. It weighs just 90 grams and can be stowed away very easily and tiny thanks to the integrated pack sack. The relaxed Camoscio W Hoodie provides a little more warmth and can be worn when hiking to a hut or in everyday life. The material is made from TENCEL™Lyocell, a very elastic, breathable and soft fiber that is originally made from wood. The Karpos outfit is completed by the Karpos Easyfrizz W full-zip hoodie. Thanks to the zipper, this model is super easy to put on. The special honeycomb structure of the material promotes air circulation, making the garment highly breathable while also protecting against UV rays.
Now you can put together your own individual Karpos outdoor outfit from our suggestions and nothing will stand in the way of your next excursion!
