Flylow Tough Guy Glove

Weather tough, wallet easy

Ever considered 120 bucks for a pair of super-Gore-15-layer-breathable-zippered-nuclear heat gloves? Us too. But for what amounts to the cost of a pair of gloves several steps above your standard local hardware store work glove, the incredibly tough Flylow Tough Guy Gloves ($28) breathe better than that fancy European pair and are triple baked and [...]

Interview: Ray Kelvin, Founder of Ted Baker London

Quintessentially Unique

In England, Ted Baker has become what Ralph Lauren is in the United States: more than just a purveyor of the finest quality shirts – rather, an icon of its nation. (Disambiguation: there is no Ted Baker. Or rather, Mr Baker is “the ultimate Englishman in New York” – at once stylish, worldly and roguish) [...]

Del Toro Shoes

Slip into something more stylish

For years the velvet slip-on loafer has been a viable alternative for black-tie footwear. Three friends from Miami have set out to bring them into the mainstream. Born from a desire to have a pair of shoes with their school emblem for graduation, Del Toro shoes produces a huge variety of styles, from solid colors [...]

Viewfinder: 35 Yard Line at Dallas Cowboys Stadium

The perspective a kicker might find himself facing from the 35 yard line at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. No pressure. Canon 7D | 1/125 | f/5.6 | 11mm | ISO 800 | Large version Viewfinder is a new series of captivating photos taken by the GP crew, culled from the web, dug out of [...]

Callaway Diablo Octane Driver

For length's sake

A man’s quest for increasing his length, drive length that is, is a long and never-ending struggle. Fortunately for golfers, Callaway understands the pain and alongside Lamborghini (a company that knows a thing or two about dynamics) the two firms’ R&D teams have been hard at work to develop a worthy successor to last year’s [...]

Tsovet Limited Edition SVT-AT76

Tstunning

A little over a year ago we went hands on with the Tsovet SVT-AT76. The watch, a centerfold of modern aviation-inspired design, left us hard-pressed to think of an equally superb watch in this particular segment. With the release of the limited edition SVT-AT76 ($1,895), Tsovet has upped the ante by imbuing their mainstay design [...]

B-25 Mitchell Bomber Airplane Desk

The Bomb(er), literally

Even the most prolific jetsetter needs to land every once in a while to recharge his body, devices and get some work done. Luckily, the B-25 Mitchell Bomber Airplane Desk allows aviation and history buffs to take a piece of the sky with them. This limited edition desk from MotoArt combines functional art and rich [...]

Gerber Gator Machete Pro

Just the thicket

If the original Gerber machete hasn’t sufficed your jungle-swathing needs, Gerber has answered your roar with the new Gator Machete Pro (available soon). The Pro is a multi-purpose implement that works as an axe, brush thinner, knife, machete, or garage-talk conversation piece. It features a 10.5″ blade made of corrosion resistant steel, slip-resistant Gator Grip, [...]

Killspencer iPad Case

Dark and handsome

Killspencer is one of those brands we like to cover here on Gear Patrol. You know, a brand and story that you can’t get enough of the moment you set eyes on one of their products. Started by Spencer Nikosey in 2009 and based in Pasadena, CA, the brand has a growing collection of great [...]

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

Don't call it an M1

Since its inception, the BMW 1 Series has always been a bit of an ugly duckling — there, steadfast, ready to perform, but simply too repulsive to seriously consider. Then, one day, (coincidentally the same time we received a batch of photos) the BMW 1 Series underwent the Mermaid Theory and we suddenly found ourselves [...]

DZR Urban Cycling Shoes

Biking hipsters rejoice

The problem with owning a nice bike is that it probably requires you to own shoes that can best be described as a cross between soccer cleats and aqua socks. They’re ideal for long trips and training sessions, but taking a quick ride to the park or into the city for a bite to eat [...]

Electric Visual Sunglasses

Stylishly shocking

Wireframe sunglasses are a departure for Electric Visual, a company who has built a reputation for their snow goggles and nylon framed sunglasses. The departure has been a good one, neither ill-conceived or hurried. The frames are well-built with hinges that flex, just so, to avoid the obnoxious flimsy feeling and offer 100% UV protection. [...]
