High-tech products that not only improve the experience of our favorite sports but cross the line into performance enhancement have been hitting the mainstream with gusto recently, from Nike’s Vaporfly shoe, which helped usher in the first sub-two-hour marathon, to fast and efficient e-bikes that are proliferating on roads and trails. There are swimsuits that reduce drag, artificial wave pools for surfers that promise perfect swells every time, and a backpack that “floats” behind your torso to reduce your backpacking burden. And those are just a few recent examples.
