The Rested Child: Why Your Tired, Wired, or Irritable Child May Have a Sleep Disorder--and How to Help

A simply wonderful book, and a worthwhile read if you are a parent -- or plan to be one. The lack of sleep and poor sleep quality is incredibly damaging for child performance and development, and neurologist and friend of Purple Patch, Dr. Chris Winter, has created a wonderfully accessible guide in his new book.

FatMap - Discover, Plant, Track and Share Your Outdoor Adventures

A wonderful GPS mapping app that never gets you lost and allows amazing review and other mapping features. Plus, it seamlessly syncs to Garmin, Strava, and other training platforms.

New Wave Swim Buoy

Top-notch visibility and safety for open water swimming.

Purple Patch Swim Analysis 

This in-depth remote swim coaching process will identify the inefficiencies in your stroke and find their unique root causes. You’ll also get direct guidance on specific actions to address those inefficiencies to improve your swim performance.

The Purple Patch swim analysis experience is different from other online swim analysis services. Here, you will receive direct, actionable feedback in four distinct areas critical to improving your swim. This feedback is targeted to your specific underlying inefficiencies and areas for improvement and gives you actionable feedback that’s easy to implement.

Salomon Sense Pro 5 Running Vest

Matt's favorite running vest tested on the rugged trails of Oregon and Montana with quick and easy access to storage and hydration.

Outbound Lights for Your Bike 

Opens up visibility on the trails with smooth falloff all around the bike to aid peripheral vision (the beam should fall off, not the biker).
