23 posts in, we’re long overdue on giving our Project Kickstarter series an official kick off. Since publishing our first article on a Kickstarter project, back in the summer of 2010, we’ve watched in awe as the site quickly matured into a powerful platform, capable of transforming the dreams of passionate creators into legitimate products [...]

We’re taking Monday off to be with friends and family — not to mention recuperate — but until then, here are a few sage words for the New Year from Mr, Franklin himself. We couldn’t have said it better. Our best to you in 2012.

At our humble New York office we’re surrounded by a coliseum of publications dedicated to creating excellent reading on this internet(s) we call home. Count the rest of the web in and suddenly you’ve got a lot of places to bookmark, subscribe to, add, watch, like and follow. It’s hardly duck soup. So it goes [...]

Drinks, tunes, and gear. Sounds perfect.

Chairman of the Board

Why is finding a good pair of swim trunks so damn hard? Is it too much to ask for a balance of quality materials, simple design, and fit? After asking ourselves the same questions season after season, we decided to do something about it. So we partnered with the good men at Onia to create [...]

100% Awesome. 100% Free. You're Welcome.

The coffee has been brewing nonstop here at GP HQ and for a good reason. Today, we’re excited to bring you the Gear Patrol iPad app, an entirely new (and better) way to read GP. The app features an all-new design that we think you’ll love, and thanks to our friends at Lexus, downloading it [...]

From the entire crew here at Gear Patrol, here’s to wishing you, your families and all our men and women abroad the very best this Independence Day. We’re taking the day off as well so there won’t be any posts today, but if you find yourself still hankering to peruse, feel free to dive into [...]

GEAR PATROL SPONSORED POST Earlier this Spring we told you about Leffe’s search for a few good men willing to share stories of character-defining moments in their lives.
