Wichita, KA - The definition of an athlete has been changing over the years. Earlier, only professionals who ran track and field events subscribed to that term. Over the last few years, however, ordinary people have taken their hobby of the outdoors to new levels. Social media has helped them find partners to indulge in outdoor activities, and an overall increase in our society’s awareness of fitness has helped foster this growth. Sporting goods manufacturers and retailers have stepped up to the challenge and have created new lines of products suited to the everyday athlete.
Taking this newfound passion for fitness into consideration, a new online store has been launched with a whole new range of products suitable for new-age hobbies and activities. Earl, the founder of the site, calls himself an outdoors man, with a keen interest in camping, hiking, trekking, skiing, and more. Using that as a platform, he wanted to create a store which appeals to others like him, and the result is Earl’s Sports Gear. Launching this week, this new store aspires to stock products that are suitable for the everyday athlete. There are ranges of products available today which enrich every hobby and make the outdoorsmuch more enjoyable. Hiking, for instance, today has GPS devices, trail finders on smartphones via several apps, specialty shoes, quick dry wear, lightweight backpacks, trail sticks with flashlights, and much more. Compared to what hikers used a decade or so ago, this is a whole new level!
Hiking is just an example. All the popular outdoor activities – skiing, snowboarding, surfing, trekking, camping, snorkeling, scuba diving – have their own ranges of products available today. And in addition to these, there are whole new activities that have emerged. Activities like Snowshoeing, White water rafting, Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Bungee jumping, Climbing, which were not popular earlier have found a new audience with this generation of fitness freaks. And sporting goods manufacturers have created ranges for these and more! The biggest contribution, however, has come from science. Social sites and smartphones have made these activities much more enjoyable. Specialty apps for each of these activities find places, partners, and provide great information for enthusiasts. Coupling this information with specially made products help the athlete enjoy the hobby even more.
