P.F. Flyers Field Spec Grounder

Founded in 1937 by B.F. Goodrich (yes, the tire company), P.F. Flyers has been an iconic piece of Americana for generations. And while the brand’s most classic offerings, like the sneakers featured in The Sandlot, get all the glory, the brand has plenty of other spectacular offerings. The latest is the brand’s Field Spec Grounder, which takes the brand’s military-inspired sneaker and streamlines it even further. Its reinforced suede upper pairs beautifully with a deep-treaded wraparound gum sole, offering gritty mid-century tactical vibes.

Sencut Stratex

If you think Civivi makes great-looking affordable knives, check out its even-more wallet-friendly brother under the We Knife umbrella, Sencut. Available in three variants, the Stratex is just its latest compelling and capable $50 release, which like many others leans on budget materials but does not sacrifice aesthetics. Here you get a 3.17-inch drop-point blade made of 9Cr18MoV steel, deploying out of a Guibourtia wood handle via the rear flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs. A caged ceramic ball bearing ensures smooth action while a liner lock holds that blade steady when it’s time to work.

Based on the 1985 movie, this 2,912-piece set recreates the hidden pirate ship that hosted some of the film’s most iconic scenes. It comes with 11 figures, including the titular Goonies squad, the villains and — of course — Sloth.

Hyundai IONIQ 9 Off-Road Concept

Family SUVs aren’t typically the kind of vehicles that first come to mine when it comes to overlanding, but Hyundai wants to change that. The Korean automaker just revealed its IONIQ 9-based Off-Road Concept. The company essentially took its latest all-electric 422-horsepower three-row midsizer and teamed up with Jeremiah Burton and Zach Jobe of BigTime, who then threw a whole bunch of rad all-terrain-centric modifications to it, all to to the platform’s potential.

Stellar Equipment

Stellar Equipment M Technolight Hood

This featherlight insulated jacket is designed to eliminate the most annoying aspect of performance outerwear: the crinkly noise jackets emit every time you move. Thanks to 100-percent recycled 20-denier nylon ripstop fabric, this synthetic jacket is whisper-quiet, and thanks to Primaloft Gold recycled synthetic insulation, the M Technolight Hood brings reliable warmth to every adventure. Wear it as a standalone or layered under a shell, and when things get warm, pack this jacket into its own pocket for easy packing or to use as a squishy pillow.

Swatch x Omega Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold Beaver Moon

Another month, another MoonSwatch. Swatch continues to tweak its souped-up and Snoopy’d-out MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold with a new limited-edition version each month, where the only thing changed is the theme of the Moonshine Gold moon in the moonphase display. Following up the Sturgeon, Corn and Hunter Moon models, we now have perhaps the funnest yet: the Beaver Moon, featuring a moon that looks like a beaver-chewed tree trunk. Like the other watches in the series, it’s only available for a limited time at brick-and-mortar Swatch stores, this time from November 5 – 20.

Timeless Gifts for Modern Explorers: The Perfect Watches From Longines

Built for today’s adventurers, these line-up of Longines watches blends heritage craftsmanship with the modern precision that wearers rely on. 

Longines

Longines has always been synonymous with adventure. From cockpit instruments guiding early aviators to today’s COSC-certified timepieces, the brand’s legacy lies in precision and purpose-driven design. Longines carries a time-tested ethos into the modern era — each piece refined, functional, and ready for wherever curiosity leads. Whether you’re shopping for the horizon-chasing traveler or aviator on your list, these watches will allow them to explore with confidence.

Longines Spirit Pilot (Brown Leather Strap)

Rooted in the golden age of flight, the 39mm Longines Spirit Pilot channels the romance of early aviation with a matte black dial and warm brown leather strap. COSC certified, it marries tradition and utility in one perfectly balanced form. The refined proportions make it versatile enough for everyday wear, while the precision movement ensures it performs as well as it looks.

This Genuine Moc Boot Really Is Made Like They Used To

The OG Moc toe is based on the Bird Shooter, a boot developed by the Berlin, Wisconsin, brand in 1910. It is a raw version of the modern moc boots made by Russell and a group of brands from Maine.

The key feature is a double-layered vamp, which has two layers of leather forming the lower portion of the boot, wrapping around the foot like a sock. Even the handful of other brands that still make genuine moc boots, like Easymoc, Rancourt and Yuketen, don’t use double-layered vamps.

Paying homage

Traditional Native American moccasins feature a double layer of leather on the vamp for increased protection and durability, as they lack an outsole. Moccasins from brands like L.L.Bean and Minnetonka are still made this way.

Russell Moccasin Co.

Rusell Moccasin Co. and Rose Anvil opted for a double-layered vamp on the OG Moc in acknowledgment of the footwear style’s origins. As the shoemaker describes it, “Two independent layers of hand-lasted leather surround the foot, making it incredibly water-resistant and the ultimate in comfort.”

RIMOWA × ROBBE & BERKING Drop Limited-Edition Cocktail Case

Cocktail hour takes a new meaning with the limited-edition RIMOWA × ROBBE & BERKING Cocktail Case. Now, you can indulge on your favorite spirits anytime and anywhere with this exquisite craftsmanship that unites the expertise of two historic German brands. 

This is portable bar for the cocktail enthusiasts, meticulously hand-crafted with luxurious durability. It features RIMOWA’s iconic grooved aluminum shell, while the silver-plated cocktail accessories from Robbe & Berking share the same grooves found on the case.

The RIMOWA × ROBBE & BERKING Cocktail Case features high-gloss aluminum corners, a leather handle, and a TSA-approved combination lock to secure the contents. Meanwhile, the case’s sleek black microfiber interior protects the accessories during transit.

Speaking of the accessories, the case has all the essentials for two. This includes a custom-designed cobbler shaker that holds up to 635ml. It has a built-in strainer and weighted cap for concocting expertly mixed cocktails. The shaker likewise features RIMOWA’s distinctive fluted motif.

Moreover, there’s a jigger and an elegantly hand-curved spoon with a flat ending that doubles as a muddler. The RIMOWA × ROBBE & BERKING Cocktail Case has two tumblers that hold up to 270ml, coasters, and a couple of straws.

Lastly, the care set offers convenient on-the-go maintenance and cleanup. It has a silver polishing cloth to restore shine to tarnished silver and a straw cleaner. All pieces in the set feature engraved RIMOWA and ROBBE & BERKING co-branding. The case itself is travel-friendly at just 3.5kg and compact enough at 16.1″ H  x 10.2″ W x 6.1″ D (measurements include wheels and handles).

7 New Pocket Knives, Multi-Tools and EDC Items You Might Have Missed

Smart, stylish products from Böker, GiantMouse and We Knife — plus some lesser-known brands — crack our latest roundup.

If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more

Materials matter. That’s one takeaway from the latest batch of new knives and EDC products, where prices range from a $30 Böker blade to a $352 We Knife offering

The biggest reasons for the price disparity? The former features a wooden handle and a 420 steel blade, whereas the latter gets titanium and Böhler M390 super steel.

What unites them, however, are attractive looks and performance that’s up to the task at hand. Those are key elements we look for in every knife, multi-tool and EDC item we cover. 

Check out the past week’s spectrum below, and remember that you don’t necessarily need to spend a fortune to score a winner.

GiantMouse ACE Farley V1 – Titanium

Named for a beloved bar and bistro in Sausalito, California, the Farley is welcome just about anywhere thanks to its 2.75-inch blade and non-locking slipjoint mechanism. Sleek Scandinavian design and high-end materials including Elmax and titanium, meanwhile, ensure the pocket-friendly folder looks great and carries light (2.2 ounces) too.

Issey Miyake

Issey Miyake x Moleskine Note-a-Note

The pocket notebook is an EDC essential that predates the whole concept of everyday carry by centuries. However, it has rarely been improved, especially like this. Instead of a traditional binding, this hardcover notebook opens like an accordion, offering more surface area with less bulk. It also has a handy expanding cardholder slot good for up to 20 cards and a strap that can be used to attach a pen or stash some cash — essentially, it’s a notebook and a cardholder wallet in one.

We Knife Essential Knight

Designed by Jason Knight of Knight Forge Studio, this We Knife combines elements of America’s original fighting knife, the Bowie, with highly contemporary, premium materials. For instance, it has an aggressive clip point blade with a fuller-inspired nail nick for manual deployment, but it also has a flipper, and it’s made from Böhler M390 super steel. It also features an ergonomic frame lock handle with titanium scales. It’s the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.

KEA Hex

This EDC hybrid boasts the most creative take on tool integration in years. What looks like a little lanyard slot on the butt of the handle is in fact a rotating (and lockable) hexagonal multi-tool offering a number of handy functions, including a pry bar, bottle opener, bit driver, box and can opener and mini hammer. The other end is no slouch either, boasting 3.1-inch, partially serrated drop-point is made of robust yet budget-friendly D2 steel.

Böker Plus Rusticus

Some decades ago, the concept of a pocket knife was far simpler than it is today. For many of us, our first folding knife was a simple, affordable, reliable slipjoint. That’s exactly what Böker has replicated with its Rusticus. Built out of red beech wood and 420 steel, it’s rustic and nostalgic, yet still rugged and reliable enough to get EDC cutting tasks done right. And that’s pretty exceptional, considering how remarkably affordable it is.

Böker Kihon Tan Micarta Black Stonewash

One of renowned custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley’s most popular designs gets super-affordable thanks to this new treatment, which leverages budget-friendly but still reliable materials and retains the streamlined good looks. That means a handle made of grippy Micarta, plus ambidextrous thumb studs, a crossbar lock and a 3.23-inch drop-point blade made of black stonewashed D2 steel, valued for its excellent wear resistance and edge retention.

Titaner Quick-Release EDC Carry System

The kings of titanium EDC aim to clean up your key rings — and pretty much anything else dependent on a strap or attached to a pack — with these clever crowd-funded connectors. Highlights include a modular mounting system that can adapt to different tools and accessories, a reliable dual-locking system powered by N56 magnets and, as always, GR5 Titanium, the super lightweight and strong material that Titaner relies on for all its smart and sturdy products.

An Unexpected Feature Is the Key to This Automatic Chronograph’s Exquisite Dial

I’m a sucker for a good panda dial, but after a while, they can all start to look pretty similar.

That’s what caught my eye about Brellum’s latest addition to its Pandial series of chronographs with contrasting subdials. Here was a panda-dial chronograph in the most classic setup — a white dial, black subdials and black tachymeter bezel — but there was something different about it.

Instead of the usual two or three subdials, this Pandial has four. This not only sets it apart from other chronographs in the Pandial collection, but I’m also struggling to think of another automatic panda-dial chronograph with four functional subdials. You’ve got the Universal Geneve Tri-Compax, but that’s been discontinued for what, 50 years? (Though it may come back.)

So, how did Brellum pull this off?

Your eyes don’t deceive you, that’s a fourth subdial — with hands — on an automatic chronograph.
Brellum

Panda power

Unlike the Universal Geneve mentioned above, the Brellum doesn’t use its fourth subdial to display a pointer date and moonphase. The watch does feature a date, but it’s a discreet window at 6:00, with its white-on-black color scheme perfectly blending into the 12-hour totalizer within which it’s placed.

At 12:00, the Pandial features a 30-minute totalizer for the chrono, and at 9:00, we have our running seconds indicator. That’s where most chronographs call it quits, but Brellum adds a little something extra for the fourth register at 3:00.

Hoka’s New All-Season Slip-On Could Displace Crocs as the Go-To Camp Shoe

The latest entry into Hoka’s Ora Primo lineup is a fashion-forward mule dripping with utility.

Say it loud and say it proud: Crocs clogs are excellent camp shoes.

They slip on and off with ease, so you can avoid tracking dirt into your tent. The waterproof sole keeps feet nice and dry. And the integrated heel strap can clip onto the back of a back with a carabiner.

But Hoka’s newest slip-on begs the question. Could Crocs possibly be improved?

The Ora Primo EXT is the latest entry into Hoka’s recovery-focused roster.
Hoka

Named the Ora Primo EXT, this fashion-forward mule splits the difference between the the classic Crocs clog and Birkenstock Boston, combining utility and style into one easy-to-wear silhouette.

Like many of Hoka’s running shoes, the shoe features a dual-layer EVA midsole with a minimal outsole to keep the weight down.

That said, expanded sidewalls and a rubber toecap bring extra protection, shielding the suede upper from dirt and splashes.

Finally, a G-hook closure can be loosened on the fly to accommodate thick hiking socks. However, it can also be used as a makeshift strap to hook onto a pack — no carabiner required.

The G-hook closure can be used to dial in the fit, but it’s almost more useful as an integrated strap to affix to the back of a pack.

Availability and pricing

Available in black or gray, the Hoka Ora Primo EXT is already available overseas with a price tag of 145 Swiss francs (about $180). It’s expected to arrive in the US by early November.

You’ve Heard of Dive Watches. Are High-End Cycling Watches the Next Frontier?

For starters, the brand was the official timekeeper of the race, with Tudor signage along the track, Tudor digital clocks tracking the race’s official time (which stretched on for more than five hours as the riders made 18 laps of the city-spanning circuit) and massive ads touting the brand’s cycling-specific chronograph, the Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition. The winner of the race also received a special one-of-one example of said watch with a special engraving on the caseback commemorating the victory.

But Tudor’s involvement went far beyond the typical role of an official timekeeper. The brand sponsors its own team — Tudor Pro Cycling — and is the only watch brand with an eponymous UCI team. Tudor’s team has only been competing since 2023, and it’s currently ranked as a UCI ProTeam, which is a rung below the top-ranked UCI WorldTeams. The team was invited to compete in the Québec race as one of two wild cards, the other being Team Canada.

In a twist that Tudor couldn’t have scripted better if it tried, Tudor Pro Cycling’s top rider — two-time UCI World Road Champion Julian Alaphilippe — won the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec in a thrilling come-from-behind victory, taking the lead for the first time near the end of the final lap. As a result, he stood on the podium and received his special Tudor watch, while wearing a Tudor uniform, with a giant Tudor sign behind him.

The whole spectacle was very Tudor-heavy, of course, and was a striking symbol of how heavily the luxury watch brand had infiltrated this sport. Tudor sponsors other sports, too — the Alinghi Red Bull Racing sailing team that competes at the America’s Cup, and the Racing Bulls F1 team — but cycling is the only sport where the brand is setting the pace, so to speak.

Other watch brands do have a presence in cycling, to be sure. Tissot is the official timekeeper of the Tour de France and has a line of dedicated cycling watches. Breitling and Richard Mille both sponsor UCI teams, with the former sponsoring the Q36.5 ProTeam and the latter supporting UAE Team Emirates, the top-ranked team on the UCI World Tour.

J.Crew May Be the King of Affordable Suiting Again, Here’s Proof

The Relaxed-Fit suit has a squared-off shoulder with no padding. It is either quarter-lined or completely unlined, with no canvas layer to stiffen it up

Wider armholes, an often-overlooked detail in suit jackets, create a greater range of motion and eliminate the constricting feeling under the armpit.

On the body, it feels more like wearing a chore coat than a traditional suit jacket because all the restrictive elements have been removed.

The pants for both the Relaxed-Fit and Crosby designs are wide and straight, offering a similar free-flowing movement to sweatpants. They also have a higher waist with a longer rise, which is considerably more comfortable than a low-waisted Ludlow cut.

That said, it is still a proper suit. Most versions have a rope shoulder that creates a respectable, squared-off silhouette, and they are all double-vented. The sleeves have a four-button, non-functional cuff.

One of the Best Values in Swiss Watchmaking Just Got a Seriously Sporty Makeover

Mido Multifort Chronometer 1 Racer

Mido’s Chronometer 1 is one of the best values in Swiss watchmaking, as it boasts a decorated 80-hour automatic movement equipped with an amagnetic silicon balance spring for well under $2,000. Here, the watch has received an unexpected motorsports makeover with the Chronometer 1 Racer. It features a black PVD stainless steel case and the line’s signature Geneva-striped dial, but it adds loads of visual interest with four contrasting rings around the dial’s edge in black, white, light blue and orange. This striking combo is then paired with a light blue leather strap featuring a pair of orange racing stripes. While Mido doesn’t make any concrete connection, the colorway is almost certainly inspired by the iconic blue-and-orange Gulf racing livery. And for those times when you want something a touch more demure, the watch also comes with a black leather rallye strap with white stitching.

Levi’s x Barbour Type II Waxed Trucker Jacket

The Levi’s x Barbour collaboration features ten products, including five jackets, but the definitive item may be Type II Waxed Trucker Jacket because it blends the best of both brands. The body is made of Barbour’s 8-ounce olive waxed canvas, built to the blueprint of Levi’s original Type II jacket, introduced in 1953. The corduroy-lined collar and signature zipper are taken directly from English classics like the Bedale and Ashby. It is also available in a washed-out denim version with a corduroy-lined collar.

Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2

Anker’s latest foray into off-grid power, the 2,400W Solix C2000 features lightning-quick charging times (around 80 percent capacity after just 45 minutes), with expandability up to 4kWh. It weighs 41.7 pounds, making it portable enough for DIY projects and tent camping. However, the TT-30 port will make it feel right at home paired with an RV. It’s also compatible with Anker’s Solix BP2000 Expansion Battery and PS400 Solar Panel.

The North Face x Cecilie Bahnsen Sarit Verto SA Gore-Tex Boot

The second chapter of the collaborative effort between The North Face and Cecilie Bahnsen includes a reimagined the alpine boot featuring a new, romantic take on high-alititude performance. The Sarit Verto SA Gore-Tex Boot may look sweet with its embroidered floral detailing, sculptural lines and delicate craftsmanship (even the BOA dial gets the flower power treatment,) but it’s highly capable thanks to its IBQ Dyneema ultra-high tenacity ripstop upper, waterproof zipper, the PFAS-free Gore-Tex 3L waterproof membrane, PU midsole and Vibram Mont rubber outsole. Much like the rest of the FW25 collaboration collection, this boot explores the increasingly-popular intersection of fashion-inspired designs and high-performance outdoor apparel and gear.

Mazda VISION X-Coupe Concept

Although not quite the revival for the beloved Mazda6 sedan we were hoping for, Mazda revealed another rotary-powered four-door sports coupe concept. Called the VISION X-Coupe, it’s the automaker’s latest pitch at a rotary sports cr coupe revival. Despite having four doors, it harks back to the spirit of Mazda’s last rotary sports car, the RX-8, which also had a fastback-like body style and an unconventional four doors. This time, two rotary engines help power a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which churns out around 500 horsepower.

High Camp Highball Shaker

Best known for its premium outdoor flasks, High Camp aims to elevate your home bartending game with this smart system. The big 1-liter shaker lets you batch 6 to 8 cocktails at once, while the included UpScale Jigger’s intuitive markings make mixing up multiple servings a snap. An electrogloss interior finish ensures the integrity and flavor of spirits, while vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for hours and 18/8 stainless steel construction means it’s tough enough for camp use, too.

COOFANDY Partners with NASCAR Driver Christopher Bell and JGR to Celebrate 10 Years of Style and Performance

The menswear brand marks its 10th anniversary with a high-speed collaboration that fuses craftsmanship, confidence, and modern versatility.

Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.

COOFANDY has always understood that life is a journey of countless moments — each deserving its own perfect style. Now, that journey takes a thrilling turn to the track. Celebrating a decade of redefining modern menswear, the brand has announced a landmark partnership with NASCAR Cup Series driver Christopher Bell and Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), one of motorsport’s most successful teams.

The collaboration, COOFANDY’s first foray into racing, kicked off at the Martinsville Speedway NASCAR Cup Series race on October 26, where the brand activated in the Fan Zone to bring to life its guiding philosophy, Dress the Journey, and campaign slogan, Dress the Win.

COOFANDY

A Union of Speed and Legacy

With more than 400 victories and five Cup Series championships, Joe Gibbs Racing brings decades of excellence to the partnership — a perfect parallel to COOFANDY’s pursuit of timeless, high-performance design. As JGR founder Joe Gibbs put it, “We look forward to helping COOFANDY celebrate their 10-year anniversary and introducing their brand of clothing to our fans.”

For Bell, now serving as COOFANDY’s global ambassador, the collaboration is about confidence and mindset as much as style.

A Decade of Dressing the Journey

Ten years in, and COOFANDY shows no signs of slowing down. Since its founding in 2015, COOFANDY has championed the idea that what you wear can shape how you move through life — combining premium materials, tailored silhouettes, and accessible design. The new partnership with Bell is a melding of fashion and racing, but it’s also about helping men look and feel like their best, most confident selves every day. Dress the Journey is all about celebrating milestones, like career goals and fatherhood, and COOFANDY designs clothes for all of life’s moments.

Style That Moves as Fast as You Do

At the heart of COOFANDY’s anniversary campaign is clothing built for momentum — designed to perform whether you’re crossing a finish line or simply moving through your day. Pieces like the Quarter Zip Sweater deliver all-day comfort with a lightweight feel that transitions effortlessly from the office to the grandstands. For a more sporty edge, the Flannel Long Sleeve Button Down combines ease and style with a casual plaid fabric — ideal for travel or downtime.

COOFANDY’s Wrinkle Free Long Sleeve Button Down Shirt blends relaxed comfort with refined detail. Its wrinkle-free fabric makes it a versatile option for any setting. Paired with the Classic Casual Expandable Waist Suit Pant, which balances polish and an adaptible fit, the collection highlights how COOFANDY continues to deliver modern style that performs at every speed life requires.

This GMT Watch Has an Extra Tool That Makes It Especially Apt for Travel

Technically, any analog watch can be used as a compass if you know what you’re doing.

Assuming you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, all you need to do is hold the watch parallel to the ground and point your hour hand toward the sun. South will be approximately halfway between your hour hand and the 12:00 marker. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same technique will give you the northern direction.

While not difficult to do, it’s not the most user-intuitive technique either, and accurately reading your direction using a watch dial can be tough to do. So it’s always a bonus when watches incorporate a compass bezel to make these readings easier, and Bell & Ross has gone the extra mile by making the compass feature a central attraction of its new GMT.

Bell & Ross

Lead the way

The new Bell & Ross BR-03 GMT Compass works a little differently than the method I described above, with the brand laying out the most accurate way to use your watch as a compass while also making it as clear to read as possible.

The 42mm stainless steel watch features a bizarre collection of hands that, at first, look pretty confusing. So I’ll quickly go over what each one does. The hour and minute hands are easiest. The hour hand is the small, white triangular hand, and the minute hand is the short white stick. Next is the seconds hand, which spans the whole length of the dial. The black half can be ignored; it’s the blue half that tracks your running seconds.

This Affordable Moonphase Watch Borrows a Rare Rolex Feature

The rose gold-toned lance handset is filled with blue-emission Super-LumiNova, which matches the ethereal glow of the hour markers. Those are applied and made of Lumicast, Tritec’s own brand of solid ceramic Super-LumiNova.

The striking eisenkiesel and gold glowing moon ensure that you’ll never grow tired of looking at the Stratton’s dial, but the rear side of the watch isn’t exactly ugly. A sapphire display caseback shows off the hand-wound Sellita Cal. SW288-1 M a Elaboré Grade movement, which features some nice decoration including blued screws and a tarted-up bridge engraved with a repeating pattern of Farer’s arrowhead “A” logo.

Pricing and availability

With its rose gold PVD case, hand-painted golden moonphase display and Rolex-emulating eisenkiesel dial, the Stratton is easily the most luxurious-looking Moonphase from Farer yet, and arguably the brand’s most luxe-looking watch, period.

But thankfully, it isn’t priced like it. Available on a wide variety of suede and leather straps, the Stratton can be preordered now on Farer’s website for $2,075. That makes it the second most-expensive watch in the brand’s current catalog, but it still feels underpriced to me.

Inflatable Tents Are Taking Over Campgrounds. Can They Do the Same for Backyards?

Nissan Frontier Rapid Runner Concept

Nissan and POWERNATION TV partnered to transform a stock Frontier PRO-4X into a rafting-ready truck for SEMA 2025. Along with a NISMO roof rack and bed rack system for carrying multiple kayaks, it also boasts prototype NISMO wheels wrapped in 37-inch tires, custom tubular doors, as well as custom-fit front and rear bumpers and widened fender flares. Riding on a Bilstein suspension setup and fitted with a NISMO snorkel, it previews the many possibilities for Nissan’s off-road parts support.

Isle Hāvn Inflatable Greenhouse

Inflatable tents are taking over campgrounds. Can they do the same at home? Isle, a subsidiary of Solo Stove, debuts an inflatable greenhouse that sets up in just two hours without tools or permits, and it comes backed by a five-year warranty. The brand claims it can withstand winds up to 75mph and 30 inches of snow. The structure covers 100 square feet, and an app-controlled fan lets users dial in the temperature and humidity throughout the year.

Moment Sequence 23L Camera Backpack

Eschewing the typical bulky construction methods of traditional camera backpacks, this sleek new entry to the category is made with lightweight and strong LightWeave Ripstop fabric, coated with a double layer of PFAS-free DWR for excellent waterproof protection, without the extra pounds. Customizable interior foldable shelving allows you to store your gear, your way, and vest-inspired shoulder straps utilize zippered stretch pockets and an integrated MagSafe charging channel for quick, on-body access to camera, film, phone, filters, and fuel. Six points of adjustment allow you to dial in fit so you can focus on the shot, not your pack.

Nomos slyly updates its minimalist time-and-date masterpiece by keeping the design intact but updating the movement to its state-of-the-art Cal. DUW 4601 movement. The new hand-wound calibre features Nomos’s proprietary Swing System escapement, an improved power reserve of 52 hours and exquisite sunray finishing that’s visible behind a sapphire caseback.

J.Crew upgraded its duck canvas work shirt, previously under the Wallace & Barnes label, with a shirpa lining and a corduroy collar. More jacket than shirt, it also features two hand pockets built into the side seams. The 100-percent cotton canvas comes in dark khaki and indigo blue, both with brown cord collar lining and off-white synthetic sherpa lining.

Lexus recently discontinued its most iconic sedan, the LS flagship sedan. But its story isn’t over as Toyota’s luxury division just re-envisioned the model as a…six-wheeled ultra-lux van? Revealed at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, the new Lexus LS Concept serves up a new take on its most revered model.

This Fast-Rising Affordable Swiss Watch Brand Puts Patek Vibes on Your Wrist for a Fraction of the Cost

The Toccata Heritage is not only powered by a hand-cranker — the Sellita-based Cal. RW4100 — but it’s fully visible behind a sapphire caseback. It even features some nice decoration, like blued screws and sunburst finishing on some of the gears. This helps keep the case of the Toccata Heritage extremely thin at just 6.95mm, though it can’t quite match the minuscule 5.9mm thickness of the Patek.

Pricing and availability

There are four versions of the new Toccata Heritage (plus five smaller, quartz-powered references that I don’t find as interesting).

If you really want to drive home the unabashed Patek vibes, then your best bet is to go with the blue version. It’s almost a dead ringer for the platinum Golden Ellipse and comes on a blue croc-stamped calf leather strap. That one, along with a gray version on gray leather, is priced at $1,675. You can also get the blue version on a five-row steel bracelet for $100 more, but I think it looks better on the strap.

My pick of the bunch, however, is the rose gold PVD version. It’s paired with a copper dial and gray leather strap and has a decidedly retro and comforting warmth to it. It’s a stunner, but it’s also the priciest of the quartet at $1,825, which, to be fair, is still a serious bargain.

This Nostalgic Böker EDC Knife Is Almost Too Affordable to Be Believed

Not your granddad’s EDC

Enough about the blade; there’s a whole other half of this knife that deserves attention. Interestingly, the handle has some traditional elements, but also offers what could be called a couple of modern conveniences.

The scales are made from red beech wood, which really brings home the knife’s rustic looks. Its gold-colored liners and other hardware aid that. However, it’s worth noting that this wood is heat-treated, which increases its stability and durability.

This is a lot of knife for such a low price.

As mentioned, this knife hearkens back to the heydays of slipjoints. However, it’s actually not a slipjoint; it has a bona fide liner lock. While still on the older side of the lock mechanism spectrum, it’s still more secure and safe than a simple slipjoint.

As a finishing touch, the butt of the handle has a brass-lined lanyard hole, should you choose to attach one. And you get all of this for … wait for it … under $30. Yes, really. Even considering its more basic elements, this is a lot of knife for such a low price, especially from a brand like Böker.

Durable Elio Water Bottle Folds Down Into A Pocket-Size Disc

The Elio reimagines the portable water bottle into a functional structural totem. It makes stylish artistic display on your desk and offers reliable on-the-go hydration. Outside of its pleasing aesthetics, it boasts a lightweight yet robust shell that can withstand whatever life throws its way.

This bottle holds 750ml (25.4 fl oz) water in a dishwasher-safe construction made with food-grade platinum silicone (BPA-free) for pure and odor-free hydration. The silicone comes with an aluminum hard case for flexible protection. You can step on it, throw it, or drop it and it immediately bounces back into shape. 

Elio provides hassle-free one-handed opening for quick, effortless on-the-go sips while running, travelling, or working out. Moreover, it features a leak-proof seal so you can toss it inside your bag and has a wide mouth for easy refills, ice loading, and hand washing. 

But what makes this water bottle stand out from its kind is its ultimate packability. It weighs just 0.16kg when empty and moves with you but out of sight. When not in use, it twists down flat in seconds into a pocket-size disc. It locks flat into its base into a compact 3cm disc that easily slips inside pockets, backpacks, or clutches.

Elio even doubles as a colorful bag accessory when packed down. It has a discreet handle that loops around bags, belt loops, or wherever you hang it for quick access. Moreover, unlike rounded water bottles, its triangular form ensures stability on surfaces. It lies flat on its side and doesn’t roll away when accidentally knocked down.

Parmigiani zhuzhes up the micro-rotor-powered version of its sleeper luxury sports watch with this new two-tone version. Normally executed in plain steel (with or without a platinum bezel), solid gold or solid platinum, the latest version features a mix of steel and rose gold throughout its case and bracelet. While most two-tone watches look forever trapped in the 1980s, PF’s take on the style is decidedly modern. Featuring a Stone Blue hand-guilloché dial, minimalist indices and skeletonized hands — both in solid rose gold – this has to be one of the most gorgeous examples of a two-tone watch ever produced by any brand.

The 8th St Wallabee by Ronnie Fieg for adidas Originals & Clarks Originals 4D

This might be the strangest sneakerhead mashup of the year, but it also works surprisingly well. Not only does this take a classic, quirky Wallabee upper from Clarks and attaches it to an Adidas 4D outsole, but it was also created in collaboration with beloved streetwear brand Kith and legendary designer Rinnie Fieg. As if that’s not enough, the brands (and designer) also called on the Wu-Tang Clan for their marketing campaign.

A Highly Prolific EDC Brand Puts a Futuristic Spin on the Original American Fighting Knife

It also shares another significant element in one of its two deployment options. The deep groove near the spine is similar to a fuller (or blood groove,) which, along with being a stylistic element, acts as a nail nick for manual deployment.

The ergonomic shape of the handle also somewhat hearkens to traditional Bowie knives. However, that’s where things start to diverge, as most of the rest of this knife’s makeup is more innovative and, frankly, premium.

Tradition meets innovation

Let’s get back to the blade. The classic clip-point shape and fuller are mated to an even speedier deployment method: a flipper tab. Furthermore, it’s crafted from Böhler M390 super steel — a favored EDC knife blade material of the moment.

That 3.6-inch blade propels from the handle courtesy of a caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot. On two of the three configurations, the pivot and other hardware are finished in contrasting teal.

Timex’s Latest Affordable Watch Proves It’s Officially a Hype Brand Now

And that’s really what this is, even more than your typical watch: a fashion accessory. The TTT is designed to be stacked on your arm like jewelry, and its small size is closer to a bracelet than it is to most watches.

But it still is a watch, meaning it provides some actual, useful functionality. Its large digital display has just two modes: time and month-and-date, which can be alternated and adjusted by the two buttons on the sides of the case. The design is inspired by vintage digital watches and is meant to be no-frills, giving you only the information you need in a clearly legible and simple-to-use format.

Just above the screen is a Timex logo in Dimepiece’s signature shade of light purple, adding just a hint of color to the watch, which is available in either plain stainless steel or gold-tone.

The finishing on the case and bracelet is intended to be jewelry-like and looks pretty good for ~$150.

Pricing and availability

The Teeny Tiny Timex has all the ingredients to be another hit from Timex. I can already envision collectors — male and female — rocking a row of these on their arm at Watches and Wonders next year, with the on-trend jewelry-like size, retro digital inspiration and Dimepiece stamp of approval all adding up to a miniature hype machine.

Also likely aiding in the watch’s success is its price, which thankfully is small enough to match the teeny, tiny case. The TTT is priced at just $149 for the plain steel version and $159 for the glam-approved gold-tone. I recommend getting at least one of each.
