What if you could improve your posture just by pressing a button?
Gear Patrol has written about custom suits, custom shirts and pants. Consequently, there’s no doubt that you’ve evolved into the best dressed man around, but if you’ve got posture like Quasimodo, you still won’t look good no matter what you wear.

This Ain't Your Grandpa's Pull Cart
Let’s start by saying that, here at Gear Patrol, we love to play golf. To take it a step further (no pun intended), we love to walk the course, when given the choice. It’s just a different game on foot. That, and walking really benefits from having the right equipment. One of the best ways [...]

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 [...]
Advantage, You

Worse yet, trying to play tennis on a court that’s been soaking in the sun for days on end. When it comes to staying cool while playing summer tennis can be [...]
Driving a manual transmission is slowly working its way into the history books. Especially in this day and age, what with the higher-end manufacturers making SMG, PDK, flappy paddle gearboxes, and various other clutchless-manuals (no, not automatic’s with shiftmatic settings) that perform equally and sometimes better than even the best drivers. It seems fewer and [...]
All-Natural Solution to Oxybenzone Sunscreens. Also, An Answer To Your Question, "What the Hell Is Oxybenzone?"
Summer is almost upon us and, if you’re anything like the men of the GP Crew, you’re gearing up for the beach, lake, golf, tennis, run, bike, swim… you get the picture. What do all these activities have in common? Sun exposure. Ever since our youth and (and even more so recently), we’ve been taught [...]
Post-holiday stress and the piss-poor economy wreaking havoc on your skin? Look to Neocutis and look no further. I’ve been using their bio-restorative skin cream with PSP for almost two months now, and the results are dramatic, to say the least. Exclusive to Neocutis, PSPs, or Processed Skin Proteins (not from Sony), are derived from [...]
Converse recently dropped a sweet new pair of their famous All-Stars this past holiday season. Spotted during some shopping at Bloomingdales in New York, this editor could barely slap down his girlfriend’s credit card fast enough. Read: present… I swear. These kicks are a part of Converse’s 1HUND(RED) initiative that brings together a hundred artists [...]
From Eric Yang: Gents, we’ve got a new Contributing Editor. Actually, he’s been around for some time now, secretly publishing articles and avoiding my persistent requests to finish up his biography so I could officially introduce him to you. Located in Memphis, TN, Anthony is ever-so-close to becoming the Gear Patrol Crew’s M.D. – in [...]
Chances are, there’s a pull up bar somewhere in your home that doesn’t really do much more than provide a place to hang your clothes or do a few basic pullups. Hence the need to for the Perfect Pullup. This writer’s had a few months now with the Perfect Pullup and can attest to its [...]
