Stonewear Designs Apex Top : For Peak Performance

Stonewear Designs started out designing women's climbing gear. Now, they're well known in the fitness world for a variety of tops, shorts, and pants for almost any activity.

They keep it simple with core items, adding special touches to make each one special. The Apex support top is a good example. Stonewear took a basic support tank top and coupled a conventional halter strap with a floating back strap, which work together to relieve neck pressure so that I can throw myself into whatever challenge comes my way. Made of a Coolmax/Lycra blend, the Apex is non-restricting yet offers full support whether I'm climbing a rugged trail or weeding my garden.  

The top comes in four colors and five sizes (which tend to run big). You'll feel better about splurging on any Stonewear apparel knowing that the company supports The HERA Women's Cancer Foundation, which was founded by climber Sean Patrick, an ovarian cancer survivor.

Bottom Line: What's not to love? Cool design, cool colors, cool company.-- B.B. (Nov '07)
