Wiggle has teamed up with adidas to celebrate the launch of the new Techfit range of clothing. During the month of July 2009 when you purchase any powerweb item from the new Techfit range you will be entered into a prize draw with a chance to win a Chris Hoy framed, authenticated signed GB sky suit.
Compression is now widely accepted in the world of sports due to the benefits it gives the athlete. adidas Techfit Powerweb is the next generation of sports compression wear.
Years of continued research studying athletes and the way their muscles move have contributed to the development of adidas techfit powerweb. adidas Powerweb is an advanced technology that focuses on the muscles energy to increase power, acceleration and endurance.
A series of TPU (thermopolyurethane) bands have been incorporated into adidas techfit compression garments and are visible on many athletes in today's competition arena. The TPU bands cradle and support the key muscle groups, holding them in place and improving posture. These bands work in unison with the muscles and function like springs when an athlete moves, muscles contract and the opposite muscles extend – the bands on adidas Techfit Powerweb mimic this. As the bands stretch they store elastic energy, when the extended muscles contract back as part of the movement, the bands snap back providing the athlete with more power.
The bands also contribute to additional posture control, the key to being efficient and gaining maximal performance TPU bands across the back and shoulders aim to keep body in an efficient posture position. Climacool ventilation keeps the body at optimal temperature. Stretch fabric adds comfort with reduction of seems, POWERWEB BANDS will hold the shoulders back whilst running and cycling maintaining a more efficient body shape therefore maximising power output and reducing fatigue
Core stability is the key to achieving strength, flexibility and explosive power in dynamic movements. TECHFIT POWERWEB has been designed to improve stability in the lower back, torso and abdomen by increasing compression over core muscle groups.

Mobi set out to create the worlds best mobile pressure washer! And that's just what they did..........even if we do say so ourselves! The Mobi team are a bunch of highly dedicated outdoorsy types from Poole, Dorset in England who after getting their kicks were tired of not being able to easily clean their mucky stuff on the fly.........thus the Mobi was born! It was also important to them that Mobi would be kinder to the environment by using less water than a hose and also had to be recyclable after it had gone to the great ocean in the sky. They took the finest materials, the latest innovations, a little bit of design magic and several cups of tea to create the Mobi. It took them over 2 years to get the design just right and we (and their mums) are very proud of the finished product. The Mobi team are contacted by their customers on a daily basis about the squillions of different uses for Mobi from cleaning their pets, boats and bicycles to Kayaks and PVC Windows and pretty much everything in between!
