Rangefinder or GPS. Which Golf Tool Fits Your Game?

Gear Patrol pitted Bushnell’s Yardage Pro GPS against their Tour V2 Rangefinder. Which side of the line do you stand?

An Affordable Premium Golf Glove

I play golf in the northeast where summer months bring lots of humidity. The last thing that you want to experience is feeling the club slip when you swing. A lot of gloves on the market today simply don’t offer a solution for sweaty hands. The Targa Tour Glove from Taylormade Golf is my salvation. [...]

I hate buying socks. You see, my feet are on the lower end of the average dress sock’s ridiculous “one size fits all” option. Who’s bright idea was it to offer one sock to fit feet ranging from size 6 to 12? You’d never buy a pair of shoes that way. Plus, it’s never a [...]

Gear Patrol preaches the advantages of buying custom fitted clothing. Nothing, let me repeat that – nothing, makes you look better then clothing tailored specifically to your body.

Real golfers lug their own sticks. It’s a rule. Seriously, look it up. I’m a firm believer in walking the course. It’s how the game was meant to be played. During an average round of golf a man will lift and set down his bag over 100 times and walk 3-4 miles. Those of you [...]

Forget Your Drive. How About Your Buckle? One of the hottest trends on the PGA Tour this year was the emergence (or ressurgence?) of the belt buckle. From Anthony Kim to Rory Sabbatini, sporting a little bling around the waist has proven itself a great way to step up any golfer’s wardrobe. Not ready to [...]

With the unemployment rate at 7.2%, (See the NYTimes) chances are you or someone close to you has recently lost their job. As a matter of fact, there’s one right here… me. As I write this, I myself am in the midst of my own layoff. Let me tell you, it sucks. I’ve been unemployed [...]

Ski Conditions? I Got Your Ski Conditions. 7 Days Worth Of 'Em.

With global warming eroding the once consistent weather forecasts of Old Man Winter, how’s a man to know what to expect on the slopes? Choose the wrong day and the most action you’ll get a forlorn cup of hot cocoa in the lodge. Enter the Ski FX from Bushnell. With wireless delivery of your 7-day [...]

GQ Magazine’s Style Correspondent and Guest Editor at Piperlime Gear Patrol recently sat down with Guest Editor for Piperlime, Brett Fahlgren (about Brett) to talk men’s footwear. Finding the right shoes that offer comfort, style, and verticality is key – and, frankly, not that easy. That’s where Brett comes in. Gear Patrol: What should men [...]

Forget Your Game Face, Get Your Game Hair On It was just a matter of time. Axe, already a leader in the body fragrance and wash categories, has made their way up to the head. Starting in December, Axe Hair offers a full line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. Take note; you won’t find [...]

Original Designs, Unique Style You might think that with a name like Ten Bills, you’d find a place to buy value priced t-shirts. You’d be partially right. Ten Bills consider themselves much more: Ten Bills is not just a team of t-shirt lovers. We’re music lovers and we’re art lovers. We love to love! We [...]

Most of what we at GP have learned about women has come through trial and error. Perhaps more of the latter, but we have learned a few things [...]

Better Performance, One Foot at a Time Athletic socks are the red-headed stepchildren of the fitness apparel world. It’s a shame, really. I’ve seen it countless times; guys will drop bundles on moisture-wicking clothing and expensive sneakers, then they proceed to slip on a pair of plain cotton socks. Blah. Here’s a news flash men: [...]

Get Your Benjamins Some Armor At the last happy hour I went to I rolled in with my cash well protected. In fact, I was the only one there with a stainless steel wallet, more than just money well-protected – it’s an instant ice breaker. Woven with thousands of stainless steel fibers, the Stewart-Stand wallet [...]
