The content you love, plus plenty of tasty extras
We’ve officially launched a Tumblr outpost in the wild west that is the internet. It’s not just the same ol’ re-hash of what you read here every day, though. Instead, we’ll be using it to share inspiration from around the web: stunning photography, our own outtakes, thought-provoking articles, good tunes, and other random digital asides [...]
Come join the team
Update: We’ve been totally stunned by the number of applicants from the posting. Seriously, we had to setup a Google filter so we didn’t miss any. Looks like there are others out there with our same crazy, incurable affliction for gear hunting. If you’re interested in the job, be sure to write in sooner than [...]
Paving progress, one innovation at a time
The spirit of innovation has almost always been about making life as we know it better, or at least a more pleasant experience.

Project by Project
23 posts in, we’re long overdue on giving our Project Kickstarter series an official kick off.

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.
Method to the madness
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.
