A Set Apart

Sick and tired of seeing those black bars diminish your television’s big cinematic ego? So is Philips. After raking in praise from the home theater community for their first attempt at a cinemascope 21:9 HDTV, Philips has now released the Cinema 21:9 Platinum ($6,420). Like its predecessor, the 58-inch, 400 Hz Clear LCD unit is [...]

Winter Warrior

East coast slopes demand a lot from winter gear and the need for solid performance on mixed-condition, a must. The Flagship by Jones Snowboards is a free rider’s dream. Like a pair of top-notch all-terrain tires, demanding terrain and conditions are chatter and deflection free. This is accomplished through a hybrid rocker/camber flex, wide-nose and [...]

All American Style

Taylor Stitch, the All-American shirt company based in San Francisco, has never been about New York Fashion Week “seasons” and trends, (and we agree. Real men’s clothing shouldn’t be caught up in the latest Spring/Summer runway presentation). Instead, Michael Maher and his three collaborators who founded Taylor Stitch, pursue genuine quality. “Well-made” is the catchphrase, [...]

There Goes Your Fall

Pistols in the facility, license to kill! Yes friends, it’s time to think back to those days when school, food and sleep were after thoughts. It’s time to recall the glee of unloading on with the RCP90 from your lofty perch…which conveniently also happened to be right next to an infinite supply of body armor. [...]

More than Meets the Eye

Over the summer we introduced you to Loki and their Midi Micro Fleece. Now with the weather turning wetter and colder Loki has submitted their Mountain Hoodie for Gear Patrol to put through the proverbial paces.

White Lightning

Unlike your garden variety Appalachian variety, possession of Original Moonshine won’t get you in trouble with the law. Crafted by Stillhouse (co-founded by Adam Perry Lang, author of one of our favorite books on BBQ), the clear corn whiskey is 80 proof, all-natural and gluten-free. Charcoal filtered and distilled four times in a Prohibition-era copper [...]

If Swiss Army Made a Wine Product...

Normally we’re not the type to encourage a lack of bar accessories, but in the case of the Nuance Wine Finer ($30) we’ll make an exception. That’s because it combines the functions of an aerator, filter, no-drip serving pourer, and stopper into one convenient wine accessory. That means using it should translate into less digging [...]

The Coolest Cashmere for the Coolest Weather

Michael Williams’ shop ACL & Co. has partnered with London Undercover to produce one of the coolest scarves we’ve ever seen. Made of luxurious two-ply cashmere in England, one side is a classic Black Watch tartan and the reverse is a great-looking burnt orange. The folks at ACL & Co. recommend it with a khaki [...]

Bags Made the Right Way

The Wayfarer Pack ($189) is bag for those who value materials and production sourcing above all else. Made in the U.S.A from 100% US sourced denim, details like denim rivets and a grommet & rope cinch top indicate it’s built for the long haul while still fitting perfectly with today’s heritage menswear looks. Size-wise, the [...]

Another day, another browser. Right? Wrong. Built over the past two years on Chromium (the same stuff that Google Chrome is built off of) RockMelt is a brand new browser that melds your day-to-day browsing with your social media ongoings. For example, there’s no need to visit Gear Patrol’s facebook page/widget or our twitter feed [...]

Freudian Sip

Class up your Saturday morning brunch routine with a Freud French Press Coffee Pot ($105). A far cry from the tired look of your Bodum french press, the 8-cup stainless steel pot strikes a balance of industrial and modern design with its signature drip-free spout and wood handle. Whether its for you or the coffee-fanatic [...]
