Sports innovations listed in Time top 100
Meanwhile, Lululemon’s non-slip, natural rubber Take Form yoga mat earned a spot on the list due to its three-dimensional ‘ripple’ technology, made to assist yogis in perfecting their poses. The mat’s textured circles are meant to indicate exactly where one should place their hands and feet when attempting a pose, supporting sensory memory to some degree.
Bombas Underwear, which describes its line as “incredibly soft, unshrinkable [and] made to never roll, pinch or ride up”, also made the cut. Either made from cotton modal or seamless modal nylon, the brand’s intimates are available in women’s sizes XS-2XL and men’s S-3XL. For every pair of Bombas Underwear purchased, the company states that it will donate a pair of underwear especially designed to “address the needs of the homeless community” via its network of US-based giving partners.
Eagles Nest Outfitters’ tent-inspired Skylite hammock made an appearance in the travel category for its ergonomic design, which reportedly delivers a “weightless” sleeping experience for campers. The hammock’s proprietary pattern allows for a “flat and supportive” experience, the brand said. It also comes with removable DAC spreader bars and an integrated, tensioned bug net.
