Remember the Polaroid OneStep2? Polaroid’s new throwback instant camera that actually printed photos instantly on i-Type and 600 film, just like the cameras you grew up idolizing? Well, it turned out to be a major hit, and Polaroid has decided to continue with the platform, upgrading it for late-2018 with the new OneStep+
Sneakerboots are becoming more and more popular all the time, with everybody from Timberland to Under Armor getting in on the action. Forsake, a Boston-based outdoor lifestyle brand, makes sneakerboots like no other; shoes that actually look as casual and stylish as an everyday pair of sneakers but don’t sacrifice one lick of performance. Case in point: The Forsake Range High and Range Low.
It's no secret. We love tools. Whether they're survival knives, pocket-sized EDC knives, kitchen utensils or handy little gadgets that make the dinner party easier, if's made of steel and carbon, we're looking at it. Here's a few that caught our eye today.
Taylor Stitch knows how to make clothes, and all their pieces of apparel seem to meet at the intersection of rugged, masculine style, bombproof quality and functionality that works both on the trail and on the town.
Watches can be expensive, and not everybody has the budget to invest in a really high-end model. And if we’re being honest, we wouldn’t even want to necessarily spend as much on a watch as the asking price for this Seiko Prospex Samurai.
Whether you’re excited to say goodbye to summer or you’re still hanging on to the last sign of warm weather, lamenting the inevitable change of the seasons, Fall is here. And that means not only shorter days, colder mornings and evenings and a whole new series of opportunities for epic outdoor adventures, but also means its time to ramp up your wardrobe.
It sometimes feels like all the great outdoor apparel and technical clothing designers out there are competing in a high-stakes race to come up with the best, most-verstile, comfortable, stylish pair of technical chinos out there – a pair of pants that looks like Brooks Brothers but performs like Patagonia on the trail.
Summer is winding down, and maybe it’s already over in your neck of the woods. That may mean the end of barbecues and other warm-weather activities, but it certainly doesn’t mean the end of your outdoor expeditions; Fall and Winter are prime time for alpine excursions, and we’re just getting geared up for another cold-weather season.
Carbon fiber may be the most popular of the ultralight materials out there right now, but it’s not the only one; there’s a whole host of other materials out there that provide just as much strength at the same thickness. This supremely light but tough suitcase from Hartmann is one of them.
There may not be a brick in sight, but the Bakerstone Pizza Oven Box makes some incredible pizzas regardless. Just place it on the grill, let it preheat, slide in your pizza and enjoy.
When the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance hit last week, we were pretty stoked about Audi’s new electric supercar – but we somehow forgot about the new Ferrari that was just announced.
We’ve reviewed a lot of good whiskey, but we’ve yet to really see a whiskey as unpretentious, and as unlike the brand’s usual offerings, as Naked Grouse. Created by the makers of The Famous Grouse, maker of classic Scotch whiskey, Naked Grouse is what the distillery calls “whiskey at its most uncomplicated,” and uses “first fill” sherry casks in which to age the whiskey. This slightly-unusual (though not unheard of) aging vessel imparts a much sweeter, fruitier flavor to their spirits - and one that gives the drink it’s slightly cheeky personality. (Don’t believe us? See the website.)
If you’ve ever felt the need to drop $900 on a bike for your 4-year old, the Strider 12 ST-R will definitely do the job; it’s a limited-edition bike made from carbon fiber, with a Cane Creek AER headset, Carbon Fiber fork and steerer, a custom-forged alloy stem, 12” carbon fiber rims and Schwalbe Big Apple tires.
If you’re anything like us, you need multiple bikes in your lineup. One for the road, one for the trails, and maybe one for everything in between. This is a pretty common theme (problem) for cyclicsts and bike lovers, and an unfortunately-eternal one for those of us on a budget.
In a world where everybody is trying their hand at making “craft” spirits, there are a few that really stand out from the pack. The folks at Bruichladdich Distillery, which has been around on the famed island of Islay since 1881, are one of them. These are the same folks behind Botanist gin, and their Scotch is just as good.
James Bond fan? Have you ever just really wanted your own DB5, straight out of Goldfinger? Then you might be in luck, as Aston Martin is going to build 25 limited replicas of the exact DB5 seen in the classic Bond film – as closely as possible, down to the Silver Birch paintjob - in partnership with Eon Productions.
We love EDC knives as much as the next guy – if not more. Which is why we’re always looking at adding new ones to our collection. Whether light and affordable or worth spending half a week’s paycheck on, here are a few of the coolest EDC knives we’re looking at right now.
As the e-bike revolution takes over, electric mountain bikes are popping up left and right. We somehow managed to miss this pricey, high-end, badass all-mountain, full-suspension model from Bulls E-Bikes.
Remember “Thrift Shop”, that addictive, catchy tune where Macklemore rapped about wasting $50 on a t-shirt? We’d hate to see what he thought of this plain old white t-shirt by Italian menswear company Berluti, which comes in at a comfortable $650. Yes, $650, for a plain white tee.
Remember Vollebak? Their the British company behind such hi-tech, over-engineered, almost-ridiculous jackets and pieces of gear as the world’s first glass bead jacket and this glow-in-the-dark hoodie. Now, it looks like they’re back with something just as exciting and innovative: a graphene jacket.
Ever wanted to go bike camping, but needed a way to haul more gear? Or maybe you just enjoy biking to your favorite fishing spot, or at least to the beachside cookout spot? You might find some use for the Coho XC trailer from Burley.
If your first reaction to an electric surfboard was “Seriously?,” you’re not alone. Why would anyone ever want an electric surfboard? Why not just come up with something completely different? We’re still searching for the answer to that question, but if we’re being honest, the Awake Ravik is definitely still worth taking a look at.
Have you ever had trouble deciding between a kayak or a canoe for your waterborne adventures? Looks like the folks at Old Town have, because they decided to go ahead and create a canoe/kayak hybrid – the Old Town NEXT – and have deemed it the Future of Paddling.
For almost 40 years, the 800 Series has been regarded as some of the finest speakers in existence, both for their crystal-clear sound and their beautiful appearance. 40 years is plenty of time to learn, practice and refine, and the latest incarnation of the 800 Series – the 803 D3 Diamond – is the pinnacle of this audio journey.
