Tame That Yard
For our green-thumbed readers, the Husqvarna brand needs no introduction. For the rest of you, just think of them as the BMW of lawn & garden equipment. The Rider 175′s zero-turn-radius will make you the neighborhood’s LeBron James of yard work by taking advantage of articulated power-steering (the rear wheels swing underneath at full lock). [...]
A Better Pen
A decent set of writing instruments belongs in every man’s daily carry list. Unfortunately, your options are usually boring. They likely range from Grandpa’s Cross set that’s so skinny it slips out of your hand, or, on the stupid expensive end of the spectrum, a diamond encrusted Montblanc. LAMY’s Safari line is a great solution [...]
Panoramic Photos the Easy Way
Creating panoramic photos with a camera on a tripod and then stitching them together in Photoshop can be rather tedious, to say the least. That has all changed thanks to GigaPan Systems Epic and Epic 100 mounts. Both Epic models are robotic mounts that are derived from the technology used on NASA’s Mars Rover. Step [...]
A Big, Bright Picture On A Bargain-Basement Budget
Here at Gear Patrol, we’re nothing if not out-and out-video geeks. Our passion runs wild for television, movies, games, or anything else that you can put up on screen. Being men of various situations and needs ourselves, we can, however, respect that no one video-graphical solution is right for each and every man. Thus, we [...]

Can I Get Some Ice On These Thumbs?
This Friday marks the release of gaming’s gridiron giant, Madden NFL 10. If your passions lie within the intersection of the “video games” and “football watching” Venn diagram, then you already know that that a new Madden offering is can’t-miss free time fodder. As you would expect, this year’s game builds on Madden’s previous success [...]
A Transforming Bar Centerpiece
Like Crate & Barrel’s clever Taka Trunk, the new Parker Spirits Cabinet proves to be more than just your average home furnishing.
John Conner's Backpack
The name sounds more like a weapon, but that might be just the effect Acronym was going for with the 3A-7TS Tec Sys Messenger Backpack. As Acronym’s first backpack, the 3A-7TS is as beefy as it is technical. Over 3 years of prototype testing went into the production of this backpack, expertly constructed by Berlin [...]

By Gear Patrol Reader: Mark Vann In the world of heart rate monitoring, there are a lot of options for runners and terrestrial training. Swimmers, however, are faced with fewer options and more cumbersome equipment. Enter, Finis Aqua Pulse. A heart rate monitor specifically designed for Gear Patrol’s aqua-loving athletes.
One Bag, Many Uses
All guys need a bag. That bag can serve a different purposes for each of us, but in the end you need a reliable bag that helps get you through the day. Dusty, needs one to tote his yoga mat and energy water, then subsequently to carry his favorite German lager back home. Eric needs [...]
Security Doesn't Get Any Easier
Home security means different things to different people. For some, meandering, pony-sized Rottweilers named “Killer” provide peace of mind for their family and possessions. For others, it’s a Louisville Slugger slipped under the bed frame or gates manned by donut-gorged stooges. As a former denizen of suburbia, though, the term inspires images fueled on far [...]
The Ultimate Mutt-Mobile
Tails are wagging at the news. This fall, Honda’s dog-centric Element will hit lots with K9-specific accouterments to assist with dog transport that will have Fido cruising in comfort: cargo area cushioned pet bed, walk-up ramp, bone patterned rubber floor mats, 12V DC ventilation fan, spill-proof water bowl, pet restraint systems in second row and [...]
Untether Your Music
Say “pass” on cumbersome wires and bulky iPod docks and untether your music experience. The Aura BluNote is a portable wireless speaker that lets you listen to music from 8 different Bluetooth (A2DB) enabled devices (or wired through a 3.5mm headphone jack). Conveniently, it even functions as a speakerphone. With a surprisingly large sound stage [...]

Messenger Bags Aren't Your Only Option
For some of us, the lazy days of summer are coming close to an end and it’s almost time to get back to school. For the rest of us, we’re still slaving away behind a desk working on TPS reports. Regardless of whether you’re making the morning trek across campus, or across town, or making [...]
