Mrs.
Geek
Hat
The Geeks wear lightweight and breathable microfiber hats to protect
their heads and shield their eyes from bright sunshine.
Road
ID Tag
Mrs. Geek never leaves home without the mister (and she wishes
he would do the same), but when she takes Dog Geek on the road
they both wear dog tags. Hers, from Road ID, lists contact information
and drug allergies. www.RoadID.com
Shirt
It's good to be green and the missus is proud to wear her Jessie
Strappy, by Sportif. Made from 60% organic cotton and 3% Lycra,
the stretchy tee's built-in bra provides maximum comfort.

Fanny
Pack
Amphipod's Air Flow Endurance is an ergonomically designed bounce-free
bag with a fully vented front and back, and plenty of room for
snacks, ID, an MP3 player, and other walk-about extras the missus
can't do without. www.amphipod.com
Pants
"SPF-treated pants, what a great idea!" Mrs. Geek says
of her McKenna pant, made by Sportif. The stylish full-length
trouser rolls up into Capris, and the lightweight fabric makes
these a comfortable choice for a hike or everyday wear.
Sunglasses
Mrs. Geek swiped her stylish pink Zeal sunglasses from Mama Geek
(see Mama Geek).
Heart
Monitor
The missus already wears her heart on her sleeve, so the HighGear
Pulsewear Mini, which looks like a sleek wristwatch monitors pulse
and heart rate, and doubles as a pedometer. www.highgear.com
Pedometer
The missus is mindful of her weight. Instead of asking the mister
if she looks fat, she checks her HighGear VIA Sport Pedometer,
which offers a body fat analyzer in addition to the usual tracking
functions.
Shoes
With plenty of toe-wiggling room, the flexible Fila Flow Asylum
is a great shoe for walking. The all-mesh top keeps Mrs. Geek’s
Smart-Wool clad feet cool.

Mama
Geek
While on the trail, Mr. and Mrs. Geek met up with Mama Geek
and her baby. "A geek in training," cooed the
missus. "How sweet!"
|
Hoody
A new take on an old favorite: Mama Geek is wearing
the Purity Hoody, by Sierra Design. The full zip front,
fitted form, and flatlock seams make this a versatile
piece for when the sun slips behind the clouds.

Pants
Mama Geeks on the go will appreciate the Marcy Capris,
by Isis. This pant is made from a lightweight, stretchy
fabric and sports drawcord hems and articulated knees.
A microsuede adjustable waistband and zippered cargo
and back pockets offer extra storage. www.isisforwomen.com
Shoes
Carrying a baby around makes for tired feet, Mama
Geek takes a “Bite” out of foot pain by
wearing the Bite’s ergonomically designed sandal,
the Spirit OS. www.biteshoes.com
Pack
Mama Geek carries Baby Geek in a Kid Comfort II pack
made by Deuter. The pack boasts a new improved back
system and hip fins for increased carrying comfort.
A height-adjustable child seat makes carrying, and
being carried, a breeze.

Zeal
Sunglasses
Pretty in pink, or a rainbow of colors, Zeal sunglasses
are designed to fit all kinds of faces. This eyewear
is prescription compatible, and offers interchangeable
lenses to fit the needs of active and casual users.

Baby
Shoes
The soft leather soles on these Robeez shoes allow
Baby Geek to flex his tiny toes on the trail while
protecting him from the elements. www.robeez.com

DOG
GEEK
Dog Geek steps out in style with his Growler Cinch
Top portable food tote and Quencher, a collapsible
food and water bowl, both made by RuffWear.
www.ruffwear.com
A
glow-in-the-dark collar is perfect for dusk or nighttime
treks, and Dog Geek wears the Nite Ize LED illuminated
dog collar. Press the button on this collar and he
is visible to motorists or other walkers for up to
1,000 feet. www.niteize.com
Dog
Geek snoozes in style on his “Mt. Bachelor pad,”
a canine travel bed by RuffWear. Perfect for car trips,
camping, or a dog bed in the house, this cushy mattress
compresses into a compact bedroll with a carry handle.
It’s
a good idea to give a dog a chew toy – this stuffed
latex monkey is virtually indestructible and makes
a great tugtoy for two.

Baby
Geek cleans up well after a long day on the trail
– his mama uses Baby Bouquet, a line of natural
bath and skin care products formulated to keep
delicate skin and scalp clean and moisturized.

Mr.
Geek
Hydration
System
Keeping hydrated is important and Mr. Geek sports a Deuter Hydrapack
Chute. This small, lightweight pack is fully insulated, holds
up to 50 oz of water, and is easy-to-clean; the bag flips inside-out
like a sock.
www.deuter.com
Shirt
“It’s like air conditioning for the body!” says
Mr. Geek about his SportHill Synergy Mesh Tee. This soft, stretchy
shirt has a breathable mesh back and raglan sleeves, providing
excellent moisture management on hot days. www.sporthill.com
Shorts
No fanny pack needed when the mister wears the SportHill Kinetic
Short. Featuring a zippered invisible back pocket as well as an
inside pocket, he’s got all the space he needs for ID, car
keys, and an energy bar.
Clip-on
Pedometer
Mr. Geek keeps track of his steps, calories burned, and miles
walked with a HighGear pedometer (front).
Wrist
Pedometer
The mister is such a gadget guru that today he can’t make
up his mind: That’s a HighGear VIA he’s got strapped
to his wrist. More than a wristwatch, this nifty device is a step-
and calorie-counter and features a 1/100 chronograph, as well
as a distance traveled time display.
Shoes
The mister knows that New Balance shoes are designed to accommodate
unusual sizes or widths. He’s wearing an M1060, a high-mileage,
cushioned shoe perfect for urban walking or light trails. www.newbalance.com
Sunglasses
Mr. Geek shields his baby blues in Native sunglasses. Designed
for athletes, these lightweight, polarized lenses provide excellent
protection and come in a variety of styles. www.nativeeyewear.com
Poles
The Geeks enjoy Nordic Walking – they both use Fit Trek poles
to boost aerobic conditioning, amp calories burned, and get an
upper body workout.
www.fittrek.com
Socks
A smart gear geek, the mister sports SmartWool socks, designed
to be stink-free even if he wears them two days in a row (“Don’t
admit that!” grumbles the missus.) www.smartwool.com
