KDHamptons contributing fitness editor Claudia Lebenthal is WILD about WOOD~ sporting accessories that is! She shares, “In this crazy hi-tech world in which we live, looks like we’ve gone back a bit in time with the appearance of wood as the material of choice for surfboards, ski helmets, watches, bikes, iPhone cases, and more sport and lifestyle accessories. Be it nostalgia for the products of our youth, or new products designed with that hip retro style, wood clearly has a timeless appeal that never goes out of style. Everything that’s old is new again.” Wood you like to shop the trend? Check out Claudia’s top summer picks below:
