It's no secret that cold brewed coffee is the best way to make ice coffee. Instead of water-down, lukewarm coffee, you get a rich, flavorful almost foamy coffee that tastes perfect over ice. Likewise, it's no secret that pourover and drip coffee methods are the best when it comes to hot coffee, and now there's a brewing method that combines the two: Cold Bruer.

While water purification has come a long way, and you've got your choice of pocket-sized, one-piece water filters (like the Lifestraw) and larger, more intricate systems. But one drawback all these typical systems have in common, is that they are separate from your water bottle, thus requiring you to carry more than one item and requiring more effort to properly filter water. The Grayl bottle, however, seeks to simplify the process and streamline everything down into one piece, for simple, one-step water purification.

If you do any kind of biking, helmets are important. To most of us, they may seem to be little more than an afterthought, but when it comes to protecting your head from a crash or accident, they should be anything but, and it's worth investing in a high-quality bike helmet. You're going to be wearing it a lot, too, so it should be comfortable and properly fitting. The vast majority of bike injuries and fatalities occur from falling or hitting your head, and a helmet offers the first - and most effective - line of protection from such injuries.The exact style of helmet you need will depend on a few things, but mainly, what you are using it for. The most common kinds of helmets are road, commuter and mountain bike helmets, though you may sometimes find some crossover or hybrids between the different types. But no matter what you're looking for, we've rounded some of the best bike helmets of 2017.
