Music is a must to stay focused in a noisy gym. These Bluetooth earphones are comfortably snug, sweatproof, and good for six hours on a single charge.

Not too loose and not too tight, the Body Map Train is made from Tencel, a durable fiber derived from wood pulp that’s surprisingly soft to the touch.

This natural whey blend is easy to digest and offers a 25-gram boost of protein (the equivalent of four large eggs) with every scoop.

Six channels in the sole help the Predict RA flex with your foot. The 25-millimeter stack height cushions during box jumps and sprints. And the tightly knit upper keeps you locked in.

These were a tester favorite, thanks to a blend of nylon, Lycra, and merino that offered breathability, odor resistance, and durability.

Thirty-seven liters may seem big, but testers loved the dedicated pockets for shoes, laptop, and water bottle. The water-repellent fabric is easy to clean, too.

Saxx Kinetic Boxers ($37)

Luxurious enough for everyday wear, these boxers feature the (unfortunately named) BallPark Pouch and flat seams that don’t chafe.

Hill City X-Purpose Shorts ($58)

Hill City’s shorts are made with a water-repellent and wrinkle-resistant nylon fabric. Plus, they come in three different lengths, which means every tester found a pair that fit.

Purist Mover Water Bottle ($48)

The Mover looks like plenty of other stainless-steel carafes, but it’s lined with a thin layer of glass, so the bottle won’t absorb the flavors of your protein powder.
