FEETURES! BAMBOO & WOOL SOCKS

No matter how often we shower or how clean our clothes are, foot odor may be unavoidable. Rather than spending all that money to equip yourself and those around you with full-face respirators, check out Feetures! Bamboo & Wool socks, which breathe easily, wick away moisture and naturally eliminate odor-causing bacteria. They’re perfect for all athletes and include three levels of cushioning: medium, light and ultralight. Who knew you could be fashionable and fit just by fitting your feet with smart socks?

LIFE FITNESS PREMIUM PULSATING BACK MASSAGER

For most men, back pain—whether it’s from injury, mild stress or fatigue—is an unavoidable fact of life. Aside from rest, pain relievers, light massage and acupuncture (none of which actually resolves more serious spine-related problems), there’s really not much that can help. But MaxFit is always watching your back. The Life Fitness Premium Pulsating Back Massager is a new product that acts as a personal massage therapist at your desk, couch or bed—or even on the go. No back massager will solve your back pain, but this one can ease minor discomfort to help you get through your day.

DRESS SHIRTS

Here’s a useful fashion tip for standing out: Know your chest size. The baggy look went out years ago, and yet overly tight shirts can be uncomfortable. Your best bet is to buy a European cut or slightly tapered shirt—it will help showcase your impressive chest.
