It's still in the prototype stage but with what we are seeing, it won't be long before it heads for production. Connect Green Cat Technologies' sCarabane Camper to your vehicle and you are ready to haul your luxury mini-home to your off-the-grid location.
Your dog can't chew this one up! You can walk down the composition notebook isle at your local store and it will have the same look as what your parents saw back in the day. It seems there hasn't been a lot of innovation in school supplies...until now. Enter Rocketbook Everlast. Technology meets the age-old composition book.
Minimalist and utility wallets are meant for slimming down the load in your pocket as well as being built to handle any trip you might throw at it. And these days, they're also asked to provide a layer of protection from potential cyberthieves. The Trayvax Original does all three.
What’s the James Brand, you ask? We’re not sure if the name is supposed to sound something like James Bond or not, but we do know that they are a group of adventurers from Portland who, a few years ago, started designing knives that fulfill their search for something modern, slim, and functional. They have a few EDC-ready knives at different price points, but if we’re looking at one, it’s their first invention, the Chapter Knife.
The Kletterwerks Flip is a throwback to 1975, when Kletterwerks first appeared on the outdoor scene. The design is reminiscent of the original mountain climbing design; it's slim and sleek, with a top opening design that zippers open and lets you pack everything in vertically.
We're pretty sure that everybody has always wanted a Segway. They're fast, fun and maybe just a little bit dorky, but let's be real - that's kind of the attraction of it. They're also not very practical. But if you've ever wanted your own Segway-esque device, or have ever dreamed of an electric unicycle, you're in luck. The Segway One S1 is just that.
No, it’s not too early to start looking for a good four-season tent. With Labor Day upon us, Autumn is just around the corner. And in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, that means the temperatures are going to start dropping and snow will start falling, especially for those of us at higher elevations. Time to start gearing up for winter camping.
Camping table? Sure, we can think of some uses for one of those. Like playing checkers, as the Eclipse Camping Table from ALPS Mountaineering lets you do. The Eclipse Table is built almost like a regular old lawn chair or camping chair, but is instead a foldable, portable table made for enhancing your campsite
We love camping hammocks. They’re light, portable, easy to use and supremely comfortable, a great way to sleep in what is practically perfect comfort, at least compared to the cold ground. Their only problem is that sometimes, you just don’t have a place to hang one; they need two solid trees or posts (though sometimes you can get away with a couple of perfectly placed rocks). The ENO Roadie offered a good solution for car camping – the only drawback being, you need a car. But now ENO (that's short for Eagle's Nest Outfitters) seems to have come up with another solution – the ENO Nomad.
What's this, more Under Armor hiking boots? It's still a little bit jarring to think of hiking boots and Under Armor in the same sentence, but they've already proven themselves to make some pretty comfortable, versatile pairs, and the Field Ops Gore-tex are no different. They actually market them as hunting boots, and they'll definitely serve whatever purpose you need them to.
Amazon Basics has always made some high-quality products at very affordable prices, kind of like how you can get almost everything you like at your grocery a lot cheaper, just by purchasing the generic store brand. Their selection of camping gear is no different.
Summer is starting to wind down for most of us, and while there's still plenty of time for warm weather pursuits, fall is going to be here before you know it. Which is good news for your wardrobe, as once the days start getting shorter and the temperature drops, it will finally be cool enough to start breaking out the layers without sweltering uncomfortably
Declaring a single brand of sneakers or athletic shoes as the best is to throw down some fighting words; everybody’s got their fanboys (looking at you, Nike and Adidas), and some people aren’t too keen about letting other brands vie for the title. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for other brands to try, which is what Athletic Propulsion Labs is doing with the Techloom Pro, their high-tech, high-end trainers.
VW has been busy in recent years in adding to their new SUV focused line, having added the big, spacious new Atlas to their lineup last year. And now they are complementing that with a smaller, compact SUV, the T-Roc. VW used the name “T-Roc” in the past, on a concept crossover, but they’ve now put it to good use in this sporty, 4-door compact SUV that fits right into an ever-growing market.
Swiss Army Knives are perhaps the most iconic piece of equipment we can think of, known for their versatility and heritage, having been manufactured in Ibach Switzerland since 1884; just ask MacGyver how great they are. So why is Malvaux trying to improve it?
Got a need for speed? Then you really ought to get the Waylens Horizon. This baby is the tool you've been missing from your dash, a camera that records out your windshield at 1080p and 60fps, with a max aperture of f2.4 and 157 degree wide-angle lens.
Have $400 to drop on a single pair of jeans? Saint Unbreakable may not be the first "designer name" you think of, but their Unbreakable Jeans are just as good - if not better - than a lot of the other names out there, especially for motorcycling.
It seems like more tennis shoe companies are entering the hiking boot market. Nike and hiking boots aren't usually in the same sentence. However, Nike has entered the trail shoe market with the introduction of the Nike Air Wild Mid Trail Shoe. You will find traction along with the typical Nike comfort in the Air Wild Mid Trail Shoe...the result is a "sneaker boot."
We've seen our fair share of drink coolers before, but we've yet to see anything quite like the IceMule Boss Backpack Cooler. This backpack cooler hybrid may just be the most convenient and portable cooler there is, is easy to wear and carry, meaning it will go anywhere you may find yourself heading off the beaten path.
Today, we all have multiple battery-operated devices that must be charges regularly. Many of us have a smartphone, a tablet, a smartwatch, wireless headphones, and Fitbits. Are you tired of multiple plugs and cables and tired of having to find enough free outlets in the house...or hotel room? The Satechi Smart Charging Stand is the answer to our common dilemmas. At the end of the day, just load the Satechi with all your gear and come morning, you are good to go again. No power strip full of a nest of cables. With the satechi, you have a spot for each device, all organized in a neat manner. The stand is small so it takes up limited space. It has three USB ports on the front and a fourth USB charger that is hidden beneath a multifunctional stand.
To us, whiskey will always invoke something rough - something rugged. American Whiskey has always been the drink of choice on the frontier, of mountainmen and cowboys. And that is the kind of spirit that Roughstock Montana Whiskey seeks to carry on.
As much as we love DSLRs (and trust, we do) there's no denying that mirrorless cameras may just be the future when it comes to everyday photography for most of us. That's why we're still big fans of the Sony A6000.
There's no real shortage of wireless headphones out there to choose from, and a quick search on the internet is bound to turn up more results than you can possibly choose from - which is why it's so hard to get our attention when it comes to new pair. But we've yet to see anything as low-profile and quite literally wireless headphones as the Schatzii Bullet 2.0.
You probably have noticed, we at Gear for Life appreciate multi-functional products...gear that can be used multiple ways in multiple settings. Fenix Worldwide is known for their high-quality lighting gear. On of Fenix's newest releases is just what we value, the multi-use Fenix CL09 LED flashlight. Even though it is promoted as a camping lantern, we see many other uses. How many times have you been under the sink trying to work on the plumbing but you just can't see the problem. You have a flashlight but it won't shine on the problem--you need a third hand to hold it in place! The Fenix CL09 has a built-in magnet base and a hanger so placing it where you need light is resolved. The light diffuser also disperses the light an evenly 360 degrees. So think of all the places you can hang or stick the little torch to help you with those "honey do lists."
