illumiNITE is a recipient of Health magazine’s 2006 “Best of Fitness” award. More than 1,000 products in six different categories from the national brands were nominated and tested. In the apparel category, the Women’s illumiNITE Aspira Softshell was named “Best Jacket” for its comfort, style and functionality by Health’s panel of renowned expert judges.

“I love this jacket’s versatility-it’s a perfect marriage of style and function” says Robin Stuhr PhD, a 20-year fitness-industry veteran and program director for the Center for Sports Medicine, St. Francis Memorial Hospital, Corte Madera Town Center in Corte Madera, California and one of the expert judges.

“We are thrilled that illumiNITE® has been recognized by Health Magazine for its design and unique functionality. illumiNITE activewear and accessories respond to today’s lifestyle where outdoor activities are often a twenty four hour affair as people find time to exercise only in the early mornings or later at night.” says President of illumiNITE, Peter Smith.

The new 2006 Aspira soft shell jacket features a flattering hourglass cut as well as a supremely comfortable new lightweight four way stretch windGARD fabric which allows free range of movement. Silhouette reflectivity is what sets illumiNITE apart from the rest. This patented technology enhances the wearer visibility when they are outdoors, day or night, by allowing motorists to easily recognize the distinctive, moving silhouette of a person something the conventional reflective strips and stripes do not do.
