A new site will soon be appearing that will deal with all kinds of health and mobility products. It is called healthandmobilitystore.com and it will become a portal for all things that relate to human health and healthy living.
The site will ultimately become an online store, however its main task will be to provide practical information about the various aids and products that it will cover.
The website will not be aimed at those with a physical limitation or a disability, however it will include items like chair lifts and mobility scooters. Much of what will be covered will none the less be directed at the typical human being as they pass through the various stages of life and require more and greater support to perform tasks that were once much easier.
There will also be areas that cover general healthy living like exercise and how it can be incorporated into hobbies like walking, running and sport.
Features may also run to subjects like dieting, obesity and maintaining good health.
For the time being this blog will become the web-log associated with the site and it will be used to provide information about all developments, products and features that appear on http://www.healthandmobilitystore.com.
At some point in the future the site may use a separate blog on the main domain, but for the moment this blog will be used to notify of all changes and developments.

Outdoor waterproof and breathable clothing
Fabrics that are waterproof and breathable are becoming increasingly popular for those involved in outdoor hobbies like hiking, walking and mountaineering. These special fabrics can keep the water out whilst allowing sweat and humidity to escape.
Shoes, boots and clothing made from these unique high performance fabrics can be expensive with a weatherproof and breathable over-jacket costing anything from $75 to several hundred dollars.
What these fabrics do
These special fabrics keep water out by having pores in the fabric that are too small for water droplets to pass through. However, these same pores are sufficiently big for water vapour (e.g. sweat) to escape out into the atmosphere, thereby preventing a hot and sweaty feeling.
Market leaders in the field of weatherproof and breathable fabrics include GoreTex and Event, but there are many more and all offer similar performance. The main brand names will naturally cost more, but they may not necessarily offer a higher performance.
Products currently incorporating these fabrics include jackets and fleece jackets, trousers, over-trousers, socks, shirts, T-shirts and underwear.
A number of outdoor shoe and boot manufacturers also use these weatherproof and breathable materials for their uppers. This kind of footwear is comfortable and it keeps the feet dry and healthy.
