Despite what some people think, grooming products should be an important part of every man’s gear and daily routine. The folks at Borden Wallace know that, which is why they created a line of grooming products that pays tribute to the manliest man they knew – Borden Wallace himself.
GoPro just hasn’t been at the top of their game the past couple of years. Oh sure, they’ve been putting in as much effort as usual, but with the sheer amount of drones, phones and other cameras and recording devices out there, it can be hard for anyone to compete. Even their drone, the Karma Quadcopter, ended up being kind of a flop - and GoPro doesn't have flops. In an effort to get themselves back in the game, however, GoPro has come back with the new Hero7 Black.
Chances are, if you have a thing for either interior design or midcentury modern style (and who doesn’t at least appreciate some of either?), you’ve heard of the Eames Chair.
Peak Design start out a few years back making straight-up photography gear, like their classic Capture Clip, which revolutionized the way in which we all carried our DSLR’s on outdoor adventures. We have multiple editions of the Capture and use them regularly, in conjunction with their ultra-handy Slide strap.
For $199 and $299 respectively, the Amazon Echo Link and Echo Link Amp turn your high-end speaker system into a full-on, fully-connected smart audio system.
The Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo isn’t your typical mountain e-bike. And by that, we mean it’s actually looks like a mountain bike, and not an e-bike. Sure, there’s a small motor and battery compartment hidden in the bottom of the frame, where the pedals reside, but other than that, there’s nearly no indication that this bike has any kind of assistance.
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.
