The 70's, In An Instant
Photojojo, known for their offbeat and unique camera products have joined forces with The Impossible Project to develop (pun intended) the Polaroid Rainbow SX-70 OneStep Land Camera ($210). The cameras, originally produced between 1977-1982 are refurbished to full working condition and packaged with a camera strap, two packs of PX-100 instant film, and a heavy [...]
The Bag with Dads and Picnic Fans in Mind
The Monkey Bed Esplanade Bag ($135) may look like a run of the mill messenger satchel, but like they say, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Measuring 18″W x 14″H X 5.5″D, this bag has the room to carry must haves and integrates a 58″ x 68″ zip-out fleece blanket which is shown in [...]
Not Your Typical Gator Shirt
Solid polos are a men’s wardrobe staple when cool weather disappears but their look can get stale quickly when rotated in a little too often. Stripes aren’t that big of a differentiation, but the ability to mix them in with your current shirts can leave you looking a lot less like a pack of Crayolas. [...]
Written Naturally
Recently, a decidedly non-gear item crossed our desks and “thoroughly impressed” became the typical response when grasping and using the 8 gram Takumi Macinari Wood Writing Instrument ($35). Designed by Hosei Suzuki and hand-made in Japan, the Macinari is available in the form of pen or pencil and constructed entirely of maple or walnut. Even [...]
Go Quant on Your Fitness Routine
Attention serious gadget/fitness addicts. Your watch has arrived. TheTimex Global Trainer GPS with heart rate monitor ($325), exclusively at REI. No, it isn’t the first watch to offer dual GPS and heart rate monitoring features, but our inner 5th grade geek is somewhat partial to the All-American Timex Ironman brand. It also gives the competition [...]
Taking a #2 on #4
iPhone 4 fever got you sick? Behold the Motorola Droid X ($199) for Verizon. The Droid X comes packed with 720p high def video capturing (since when did we lead a list of phone specs with resolution?), 3 mics for directional audio and noise cancellation, 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash, optional HDMI [...]
Modern Outback
In time for Fall/Winter 2010, Australian newcomer Whillas & Gunn brings contemporary design with heritage appeal, especially their sharply designed duffles that pair with modern looks. W&G isn’t just duffles though, purveying work-wear fabrics in their line up: overcoats, suiting and vests with blends of rugged quilting, waxed/oiled canvas, and leathers the Australian Outback is [...]
Give Vans, Converse, and Keds a Break.
These Nike Air Max Skyline SI’s ($89) in orange blaze or lucky green are a good counter balance to the more neutral sneakers we’ve suggested for summer before. There are actually 8 other color options available in this style, but considering their darker looks we weren’t too thrilled with the thought of wearing them under [...]
Great Design to Save Your Spine
Most homeowners are painfully aware that with the heat of summer comes yard work. Rather than break your back lugging brush and debris to the curb with your standard wheelbarrow, pick up an Allsop WheelEasy Folding Cart ($65). The WheelEasy container is composed of a vinyl-coated denier nylon that expands to a 3-cubic-foot basin when [...]
Update: Sunday, July 11th will be the last day we’ll accept applications. Good luck to all those that applied and look forward to hearing from us with next steps. Gear Patrol is looking to inject our editorial and gear-obsessiveness with some fresh blood perspective. If you’ve got the chops to discover, curate, and review the [...]
Mesh for Less Mess
Grilling smaller food items can be a bit like playing Lemmings. Careful attention will insure much of what you started with will survive, but some poor morsels are bound to slip through the cracks. While there are many tools and techniques out there to help with this problem, this mesh chef’s pan ($50) from Williams-Sonoma [...]
Give a Second Thought to Your First Layer
The Second Skin Collection ($36) from Tommy John represents a step forward in the underlying thought of the undershirt market. How often have you had your undershirt come untucked beneath your shirt? Not only is it uncomfortable, but it causes ballooning. If you’re taking the trouble and expense of assembling a great wardrobe, then skimping [...]
