Randolph Engineering DriveWorks

Randolph Engineering already makes some of the best sunglasses for flying, with the brand’s iconic Aviators having been worn by U.S. Air Force pilots since the 1980s. Now, Randolph is putting the same sort of quality and technology into sunglasses specifically tailored for driving. The brand’s DriveWorks series sees its handcrafted, military-spec frames fitted with ZEISS LightPro Technology lenses that increase contrast, enhance clarity in bright conditions and are semi-polarized to reduce road glare without blacking out your car’s screens.

Thousand Chapter+ MIPS Helmet

Thousand celebrates saving 1,265 lives over the past decade (according to data acquired through its Accident Replacement Policy) with this stunning special edition of its bestselling brain bucket, the Chapter. It features metallic automotive-grade paint and detailing (including hand-laid gold leaf), brass head plates and a 15 adorning its signature PopLock (which pops out to make locking helmet to bike more secure) in honor of Gloria Hwang founding the brand in 2015. But it’s not too pretty to save your life: integrated MIPS boosts protection against rotational forces, the magnetically attached rechargeable rear light increases visibility and eight vents plus internal channeling keep your dome cool on long rides.

Taylor Stitch The Long Sleeve Polo

Despite the name, this beefy 100% cotton all-purpose shirt is more like a cross between a shacket and a rugby. It is made from 9-ounce indigo yarn-dyed cotton with a jacquard knit that creates a textured horizontal stripe pattern. The button cuffs, deep placket and vented sides create a versatile and relaxed fit.

Cotopaxi Allpita Mini Bag

Need just a little bit more room out of your EDC bag or a more convenient, quick-access stash for smaller items? Then Cotopaxi’s latest auxiliary pack, the Allpita Mini Bag, is perfect. Made from a combo of nylon and polyester, it’s both durable and weather-resistant, but has a zippered pouch with internal storage ideal for your wallet, earbuds, a small pocket knife and then some. It also has an integrated carabiner, so you can attach it to any external loops or straps, including belt loops (if you want).

This Affordable Multi-Tool Has an Incredibly Useful Function Even Leatherman Can’t Claim

Multi-tools are a lot like magic wands. No, they can’t cast spells, but they pack a shocking amount of utility into a format that, most times, slips comfortably into your pocket.

Yet, for all their permutations, some remarkably valuable functions have never successfully made the cut. Whether that’s a practicality issue or an engineering one, I can’t confidently say.

Maybe it’s just a question of nudging the rest of the industry toward these innovations. At least, that could be the case with the NexTool W4, a pocket-friendly multi-tool that could change the entire multi-tool category forever — hopefully for the better.

NexTool Adjustable Wrench W4 Multi Tool used as spanner
How has nobody made a ratcheting spanner multi-tool until now?
NexTool

Monkey, meet wrench

Two words: ratcheting spanner.

That’s what sets this multi-tool apart from its siblings and cousins. Also known as an “adjustable wrench,” spanners are useful for loosening and tightening bolts, screws and the like. The adjustable versions allow users to change the size of the tool’s jaws, offering greater utility and versatility.

This Forbidden Toyota Supra’s Best Feature Isn’t Even Its (Supercar) Looks

Between the 2JZ of the A80 generation and the B58 of the A90 generation, the Toyota Supra has featured some truly remarkable engines during its time on the market.

Now, as impressive as these six-cylinders are because of their bulletproof reliability and virtually limitless tuning potential, they can’t match the thunderous roar of a V8 when it comes to outright sound. There’s just something about the configuration’s irregular firing order that gets car enthusiasts’ hearts racing.

In any case, if you’ve ever been curious about what a Supra might sound like with an extra two pistons under the hood, wonder no more. Toyota Australia’s GR division teased an audio clip from its upcoming Supercar competitor, and it sounds even better than the car is set to look.

Supercars

Eight-cylinder Supra

Although Toyota announced its entry into Australia’s Repco Supercars Championship last year, this is the first time that the brand has shared what its GR Supra race car will sound like.

According to Toyota Australia VP of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley, there was talk of incorporating an inline-six, though it wasn’t really in earnest. Per Hanley, the discussion lasted “about three minutes… actually, it was probably about one.”

Timex Is Practically Giving Away This Classic GMT With a Satisfying Twist

I’m your pusher

You may not notice it at first glance, but once you start admiring the classic beauty of the Waterbury Traditional GMT, you’re sure to spot that pusher at two o’clock.

the side of a Timex GMT watch
The crown is signed with Timex’s Waterbury logo.
Timex

A pusher feels very out of place on a GMT, but pressing it sets the GMT hand independently, providing a satisfying tactical experience every time.

The green arrow hand will jump ahead one hour when the pusher is tapped. Alternatively, it will move continuously clockwise when the pusher is held down, allowing quick changes over multiple time zones.

the back of a Timex GMT watch
The Waterbury Traditional GMT comes on a brown leather pin-buckle strap with quick-release pins.
Timex

The time and date are set in the standard manner by pulling the crown. When the crown is in the third position to set the time, the GMT hand defaults to the midnight spot and jumps back to where it was previously set once the crown is back in the zero position.

Crocs Gives Its Classic Clog an Unexpected Heritage Update

That means they’re still ultralight, durable, quick-drying, flexible foam. Whether you wear them daily to relieve some of the pressure on your feet or merely use them as recovery slides, the Classic Crafted Clog will still get the job done.

However, they’ve seen a major change in the upper, both in regard to its styling and material. That said, this is not some never-before-seen novelty — it should be familiar to anyone who has owned sneakers.

Crocs Classic Crafted Clog top
The upper, now made of canvas, lacks the traditional Jibbitz-friendly holes, offering a cleaner overall appearance.

Sneaky sneaks

Now to the good stuff…

For the first time ever (barring any special edition releases I’m unaware of), Crocs has equipped its Classic Clog with a canvas upper. While the shoe retains its silhouette, this material swap alters its vibe significantly.

The James Brand The Madison

The James Brand Mehlville was the EDC mainstay’s first carabiner and has remained a best-seller since its launch. However, for those looking for a sleeker, more streamlined option, the brand has introduced its smaller sibling, The Madison. Boasting a billet aluminum construction and a similarly convenient and secure two-compartment design, this novel option is thinner, lighter, more stable and just as beautiful.

Pax Flow weed vapePax

Pax Flow

Pax is the indisputed champion of the cannabis vaporizer industry. That trend looks like it’ll continue with the brand’s latest launch, the Pax Flow. This weed vape takes everything the brand has learned over the last few years and improves its category-defining tech in numerous ways. This vape boasts a whopping 6x more draw power than previous models, a new hybrid heating system (hinging on real-time temperature control) and a new bowl style that’s simpler to use and easier to clean than ever before. It even charges faster, boasting a half-charge in under 20 minutes and a full charge in under 40.

Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830

The latest addition to Citizen’s Promaster collection comes with the company’s cutting-edge Caliber U830 and Memory-in-Pixel display. That gives the watch excellent power efficiency and visibility, not to mention the ability to set multiple alarms for different times and days. The watch also features a rotating slide-rule bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, 200 meters of water resistance and a 43mm case.

Stark Varg MX 1.2

Tackling everything from street-legal two-wheelers to a planned supermoto, the Barcelona-based brand has been crushing it in terms of both producing actual bikes and turning a profit. This update to their very first model boasts a number of upgrades headlined by a new 7.2kWh battery pack promising to boost the range by 20 percent over the original’s 50 to 70 miles. Other improvements include a more efficient powertrain (making 80 hp and 721 ft-lbs of torque), a lighter steel alloy frame (total bike weight: 260 pounds) and the new Stark Arkenstone phone and docking station, with better connectivity, speed, brightness and clamping system.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition

Girard-Perregaux continues its ongoing collaboration with Aston Martin with this ultra-cool take on the iconic Laureato sports watch. The watch combines a black ceramic case and integrated bracelet with a skeletonized movement while also adding a few AM-approved stylistic touches. The hands, indices, applied GP logo and solid gold rotor have all been treated with a shade of Aston Martin Racing Green, and even the unique lume formula emulates the legendary British motorsports shade. Finally, the watch features a metalized Aston Martin logo on the sapphire caseback and is limited to 88 pieces.

‘Apple: The First 50 Years’ by David Pogue

David Pogue, the Emmy-award-winning correspondent for “CBS Sunday Morning” and former New York Times tech columnist, has written a book about Apple’s 50-year history. According to the author, the 600-page book features “360 full-color photos, new facts that correct the record and illuminate Apple’s subversive culture, and 150 fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today.” It’ll be released on March 26, 2026.

This Impossibly Tiny Titanium EDC Tool Can Still Save Your Life

“What if a whistle could be as small as an earbud but as loud as a jet engine?”

That’s the question the team at LastoolX began asking in 2019, after one of its engineers became trapped while climbing and had no effective way to call for help.

lastoolx tinyblast fingertip
I’ve seen some seriously tiny knives and EDC, but this one really takes the Baked by Melissa-sized cupcake.
LastoolX

Fast forward six years, and the answer is here in what looks like the tiniest multi-tool ever — and believe me, I’ve seen some small ones

Truly stripping down to the barest essentials, the TinyBlast still offers not one but two potentially life-saving functions, believe it or not.

Made of tough titanium alloy materials, the TinyBlast measures just 0.83 inches long and weighs just 0.074 ounces. 

In other words, you’d be well advised to attach it to something, be it a keychain, backpack or even the zipper pull on your jacket.

Uniqlo’s Soon-to-Be Viral Jacket Delivers Arc’teryx Vibes at Costco Prices

Uniqlo wouldn’t be the brand it is today without the cosign of many high-profile collaborators, including Jil Sander, JW Anderson, Engineered Garments and dozens more.

But it’s the retailer’s unofficial pairings that has style insiders flocking to its thousands of storefronts all across the globe.

Earlier this year, Uniqlo delivered a $30 dupe of a $625 Porter-Yoshida shoulder bag. Then it followed with an ultra-affordable take on Carhartt’s famed Detroit jacket.

Neither were official collaborations, however, that didn’t stop them from blowing up on social media.

Now, the Japanese giant has an answer for anyone interested in outfitting their closet with an Arc’teryx rain shell but not missing next month’s rent.

As noted by one Redditor, Uniqlo’s upcoming Blocktech Parka boasts similar pockets, colorways and technical features (such as sealed zippers) as those found in jackets across the Arc’teryx portfolio.

This Elevated Swiss Army Knife Is Unlike Any I’ve Seen Before

This SAK also sports a bevy of other stainless steel tools. Victorinox clocks the collection at 12 functions, including an awl, corkscrew, bottle opener, spring-loaded scissors and more.

As is the case with all Companion SAKs, that makes for an incredibly versatile, excellent all-around everyday carry multi-tool. Yet, even considering that Damasteel blade and its array of tools, it’s another element entirely that makes this knife special.

Counter point

So, if it isn’t the blade and tools that set this SAK apart, what remains? The scales!

This special-edition take on the Companion is affixed with scales made from a material called Corian. Traditionally, this material is used in interior design, often employed to craft countertops and other surfaces.

This Is the Best MoonSwatch Ever. It’s Not Even Close

Next, we have the return of the earthphase indicator at 10:00, making this reference the second watch in the world to boast this feature. Situated right below the earthpase window on the dial is, you guessed it, our old pal Snoopy. Donning a space helmet and seated alongside his friend Woodstock, the pair are observing the Earth from the surface of the moon.

Over at 2:00 is the moonphase display, which shows the moon in both the northern and southern hemispheres as on all Moonswatch models featuring the complication.

The moons of the moonphase are coated with Omega’s Moonshine Gold.
Swatch

One of the moons appears cartoonish and features Snoopy’s footprint, while the other is more realistic and is ensnared in a fishing net as a nod to August’s full moon, the “Sturgeon Moon,” which is the sole date this watch will be available to purchase. Honestly, the net is the one feature on this watch I don’t love — the watch has enough going on without it, and it doesn’t feel cohesive with the rest of the design.

Swatch has coated the moons with a dusting of Moonshine Gold, Omega’s proprietary yellow gold alloy. Yes, this MoonSwatch contains actual gold. Previous Moonshine Gold editions of the MoonSwatch have exclusively featured the alloy on the chronograph seconds hand, so it’s nice to see a unique application here.

Look closely and you’ll notice another hint of Omega-borrowed luxury on the dial: an aventurine-inspired pattern on all of the hands, subdials and minute track. The starry sky motif has been used by Omega on various Speedmaster Moonphase models, and it really fits the space theme of this particular MoonSwatch.

Patagonia Pares Its Legendary Black Hole Into the Perfect Compact Carry-On Pack

It still has enough room to fit a weekend’s worth of clothes and gear, but it’s compact enough to allow you to avoid the overhead bin entirely. That’s big news for a trio of reasons.

First, it means you could potentially avoid the scramble for overhead space (and the scramble to get off the plane while snagging your bag from above people) altogether. Second, it means the bag is small enough to qualify as a “personal item,” allowing you a second carry-on for overhead storage.

Lastly, this bag is an ideal candidate to function as an auxiliary day pack while traveling. You can use a checked bag for your primary gear, an overhead carry-on for additional storage, and this bag for snacks, books, headphones and other travel accessories.

Back in black (hole)

While its compact form factor makes this bag unique, it’s also still a Black Hole bag, which comes with some big expectations. Thankfully, this bag meets (and exceeds) those promises.

Like its siblings, it’s made with a tough blend of recycled materials and sports a weatherproof TPU-film laminate. Inside, along with its generous capacity, it has a padded laptop pouch and numerous internal organizational pockets for clothes, accessories and more.

Is the Best Classic Leather Weekender Bag Made by a Boot Brand?

Tecovas Bartlett Large Weekender

One of the best classic leather weekender bags comes from a boot company. The Bartlett Large Weekender from Tecvoas looks more luxurious than ever in the new Midnight Green, while still costing well under $1,000. It is fully lined with 10-ounce duck canvas and uses solid brass hardware, including a two-way zipper. There are two exterior slip pockets and a removable leather shoulder strap. Tecovas also offers a matching leather Midnight Green dopp kit.

Civivi GuileCivivi

Civivi Guile

Few brands do affordable workhorse folders quite like Civivi. The brand is back at it again with the Guile, a slender, discreet, hard-working, dual-deployment EDC knife designed by actor Shawn Ashmore (Iceman in Fox’s X-Men movies). This discreet flipper is ideal for pocket carry with its lightweight, ergonomic G10 handle and versatile 14C28N wharncliffe blade. And even though it won’t empty your bank account, you can still expect to rely on it for years.

Lego Bugatti Centodieci

Lego and Bugatti have partnered for a Speed Champions building set based on the Centodieci hypercar. Even with just 291 pieces in total, the kit recreates several iconic design elements, such as the sets of five circular air intakes located on each side of the car, the Bugatti horseshoe grille, the angled headlights and the quad exhaust. Bugatti built just 10 full-size Centodiecis, but this Lego is far more accessible at $26.99.

Titaner Modular Titanium Cooking SystemTitaner

Titaner Modular Titanium Cooking System

The mad engineers over at Titaner keep finding innovative new uses for titanium. Building on the success of the surprise hit Oven Tray, their latest Kickstarter project consists of four titanium trays designed to go straight from the oven to the table. Nesting into each other for easy storage, the trays are lightweight, coating-free, rust-proof, heat-resistant and dishwasher safe. What’s really compelling is the efficiency: you lose no time, texture or flavor transferring foods from baking trays to cold ceramic plates and you cut down on the number of dirty dishes to deal with when the meal is done.

Vans Does Its Best On Roger Impression with a Surprising Spin on a ’90s Sneaker

Over the last few years, tennis has seen a bit of a resurgence.

There are a number of reasons this could be the case, including (but not limited to) its accessibility during the pandemic (it’s easy to keep your distance on the tennis court), the emergence of tennis-related media (Challengers comes to mind), the sport’s popularity on TikTok and more.

Whatever the case, it’s already trickled pretty heavily into the fashion world, led by releases such as On Running’s Roger (as in Federer) sneaker.

Now, an iconic Southern California skate and surf lifestyle brand is getting in on the trend. Vans has teamed up with Japanese tennis brand Setinn on a court-ready capsule collection.

This Vans x Setinn release sees the reemergence of a surprising ’90s sneaker.
Setinn

Courtside kicks

The headline act of the Vans x Setinn Capsule Collection is a pair of sneakers. More specifically, this collection sees the resurgence of the Vans Speel LS, a surprising, largely forgotten silhouette from the ’90s.

While it’s perhaps an odd, dark-horse revival, bringing back this shoe in this manner works surprisingly well. For the most part, the silhouette has been maintained, although it’s been given a more minimalist aesthetic.

Nike’s New Flagship Gym Shoe Finally Includes One Clever Hidden Upgrade

As a result, the shoe’s core changes include a more responsive ReactX foam midsole, a minimized, updated Hyperlift plate, and firmer foam in the heel. According to Nike’s official release, these changes make the Metcon 10 lighter and less stiff than previous generations.

A Nike Metcon 10 is stacked on top of a Nike Metcon 9, shown in profile, to compare the differences in design.
The new Metcon 10 (shown above in blue) has a noticeably cleaner external silhouette than the outgoing Metcon 9 (shown in white below).
Nike

The forefoot has been widened too to allow for natural toe splay, promoting power transfer and balance. A revamped outsole includes more aggressive traction patterns, sticky rubber in the forefoot, and flex grooves to improve ground feel for exercises like jumps, sled pushes, and lateral cuts.

The shoe also features reengineered rope-guard overlays (slimmer but still grippy), a breathable mesh upper with haptic print for durability, and a new mid-foot lockdown band designed to minimize internal foot slippage.

This 1958 Porsche Packed Tech That Was Years Ahead of Its Time

a photo of a vintage lorenz car phone system installed in a porsche sports car
As one of eight Schmidt-commissioned Porsches, Spin’s 1958 356 A came fitted with cutting-edge tech like a Lorenz car phone.
Porsche

Through his connections as an automotive supplier, Schmidt had worked closely with Volkswagen and Porsche to test and patent new parts of his design. As such, all ‘Schmidt cars’ built at the time were experimental one-offs fitted with unique features to test their market potential.

In the case of Spin’s Porsche 356 A, Schmidt spared no expense. Along with specifying the car in a unique Porcelain White on Acella Red colorway, he also had it equipped with a Lorenz car telephone system, a Blaupunkt Köln car radio, a rally-spec Junghans clock, an electric wiper fluid pump, door speakers and reverse lights, among many other unique items.

a photo of a man leaning into the interior of a classic porsche sports car
Spin’s only clue as to the Porsche’s significance was a small handwritten note on the car’s original Reutter documents.
Porsche

Porsche labor of love

Considering that much of this technology was cutting-edge at the time of its installation, finding functional replacements proved to be a monumental task. Moreover, Spin had purchased the 356 A sight unseen, and it arrived from the United States in much worse condition than he had anticipated.

As such, even though Spin first journeyed to Stuttgart in 2008, the project wouldn’t be completed for a full decade. Working with Porsche Classic to source new body panels (some of which took four years to find) and overhaul the chassis, engine, electronics and upholstery, Spin invested more than 3,000 hours in the 356’s restoration.

Yema Flygraf CPA10

Yema designed the Flygraph CPA10 in collaboration with the French airborne unit of the same name. It was designed to meet legibility and durability criteria with a high-contrast dial and 40mm titanium case. The unit’s insignia is applied at six o’clock and etched into the French blue dial. It runs on Yema’s in-house caliber CMM.10 automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and comes on a two-piece pin-buckle leather-lined canvas strap made from the same material as the unit’s uniforms.

Sharge Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank

As its name gives away, Sharge’s Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank is a versatile little gadget with a signature transparent design. It can function as a 10,000mAh portable battery or, thanks to its foldable prongs, a 30-watt power adapter. Its battery can be recharged by plugging it directly into the wall — no extra cables required. That said, it does have a retractable USB-C cable that stretches 27 inches (long!) for charging your USB-C gadgets. Additionally, it has a small LED dot-matrix display that tells you how much battery life it has left.

This UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) has a suite of features that make it an off-road workhorse, including a front-end winch, 300-pound dump box and 1,500-pound tow capacity. Of course, it also has the tires and off-road suspension the brand’s robust and capable side-by-sides are known for. Best of all, it offers all of this at a starting price under $10,000.

Meindl Comfort Fit Montafon Light Hiker

Considering it was founded by Petrus Meindl in Kirchanschöring, Bavaria in 1683, Meindl’s boot-making bona fides go way back. This modern model boasts a durable yet breathable suede and mesh upper, Gore-Tex DWR lining and grippy Vibram outsole for reliable traction on a variety of terrain. Rounding out its best features are the brand’s super-secure Variofix lacing system, an EVA cushioned midsole and a full protective rand to stand up long and strong to whatever the trail dishes out.

Master your most grueling trail runs with HOKA’s durable, steadfast trail runner. 

Significant elevation changes, challenging terrain and vast distances are just a few of the hurdles that ultra trail runners must contend with; the sport is not for the faint-hearted. Training for ultra running requires physical strength, mental fortitude and gear that can keep up with the intense requirements of this demanding sport. When it comes to durability, protection and long-lasting comfort, HOKA’s Mafate 5 trail running shoes are a step above the rest. 

The HOKA Mafate 5 is engineered to deliver unwavering support, performance and protection, and is ready for whatever the trail dares to throw your way. Here’s why we lace up in these trail shoes when the going gets rough.

Enduring Durability and Comfort

Trail running is rife with obstacles, varied terrain and difficulties around every corner. As such, it’s important to invest in footwear that can handle the worst. That’s where the Mafate 5 comes in: this trail runner has been engineered to withstand the demands of the trail, with features such as the Reinforced MetaRocker™, which tackles uneven terrain for a steady, balanced ride. The Mafate 5’s dual-density foam underfoot offers elevated comfort and dampens the impact of the trail.

This Grip Won’t Quit

Grip is a feature that is tantamount to the success of any ultra-trail running endeavor — if you can’t stick to the trail when things get slick, uneven and loose, good luck. Fortunately, the Mafate 5 comes standard with Vibram Megagrip® with Traction Lugs, which offer premium and enhanced control on tough terrain.

This added innovation offers even more protection from the elements, as well as sustained comfort, allowing you to focus on what matters most: the trail. For ultra trail runners determined to push past their own limits and conquer the harshest trails, the Mafate 5 is designed to excel.

This Sneaker Has a Genius Safety Feature Apple Doesn’t Want You to Know About

Since their introduction over four years ago, Apple has explicitly stated that AirTags should not be used to track people. It has even introduced methods to alert individuals who may be tracked by an AirTag without their knowledge.

Of course, this hasn’t stopped parents from finding innovative ways to use AirTags to track their kids. And now, those same parents just got an assist from one of the biggest names in kids’ shoes.

That’s right, Skechers just launched a new line of kid shoes, called Find My Skechers, that is AirTag compatible. Specifically, there’s a hidden compartment under the heel of the insole that’s specifically designed to hold (and protect) an AirTag.

According to the brand, this hidden compartment has “a screw-tight cover that comfortably hides the AirTag.” That way, the child can’t access and remove the AirTag.
