The Want List: What caught the Esquire team's eye this week
The Esquire guide to recovering from a long weekend
By 
WHAT TO DO, what to read, what to wear, what to burn some cash on. Every week the Esquire team round up the things that have caught our eye across the cities and online to keep you in great taste and style…
The long weekend has wrapped, and in its place is a need to pay penance for four days of varying degrees of indulgence. This week, most of our Google searches have been focused on things that might help us get back on track with fitness or recovery. A new gym membership, the best water bottle because hydration is important and some new running gear from lululemon are high on the list.
Check out our “back on track” edit below.
Some fresh lululemon running kit
They say the hardest part to kicking off a new exercise regime is starting it. We have a theory – knowing you look good when doing it adds an extra boost of determination. Enter lululemon…
Their latest running collection dropped earlier this month and as we said, it’s fresh. Added points for the cool print and colour use, a nice change of pace from the too-cool all-black we regularly see in the parks and gym.
A Saint Haven membership
An exclusive club that offers the premium in health and wellness? Let us in.
Property developer Tim Gurner’s new business venture, Saint Haven, is opening not one but three new locations across Sydney, on top of its five in Melbourne. Hot and cold therapy, IV infusions, holistic spas and long menu of miracle juices. Honestly, we could have used all this Monday.
This Frank Green ceramic water bottle
A good water bottle that isn’t fug, and impossible to misplace, sounds like a grail.
Frank Green recently launched their new limited-edition Blue Carbon ceramic water bottles. If you’re an art fan you’ll immediately recognise the Yves Klein Blueness of it which is, to us, incredibly cool
Available in multiple sizes, our pick is the transportable 595ml bottle that fits easier on your bike and bag.
These Reebok Nano X5 Edge
Run, lift, cycle, lunge, run, repeat – few fitness brands have managed to create a good shoe that can adapt to a multitude of workouts.
Reebok makes one of the best with their flagship trainer Nano series. The latest incarnation, Nano X5 Edge, offers more mobility and stability in one hit. And a sweet new colourway.
A pair of Oakley Cybr Zeros
In pink.
As seen on Harry Styles, whose foray into marathon running has been an inspiration in getting fit in fits.
Ultra lightweight with no-slip grips on the earpieces, you can hit the pavement hard and not have to think about going lightly just to save your specs.
Moncler TrailGrip footwear
Not all workouts have to be high intensity. A decent hike is as good for the heart as a 20 minute jog, easier on the limbs too if we’re honest.
Moncler’s take on hiking footwear, their TrailGrip, hits a gorpcore sweet spot of function and fashion. Wear in good faith and good style.
This Thorne magnesium biglycinate
Recovery science has come a long from Gatorade and orange wedges. While there’s a lot of malarky on the market, most experts agree that magnesium supplements are a reliable aide to recovery post workout.
Thorne’s reputation for quality supplements is solid, and their unflavoured magnesium powder is a no-fuss, does-the-job product. One scoop before bed with water. Sweet dreams.
