The Terrain 365 Otter Slip-Joint Knife Is Rust-Free For Life

Pocketknives are essential everyday carry for those who often venture the outdoors. But when it comes to these small and useful tools, it’s better to stick to those that are comfortable in both land and water. This brings us to the Terrain 365 Otter Slip-Joint Knife.

Like its animal namesake, this pocket knife is equally at home in the water or land. That’s thanks to its Terravantium Dendritic Cobalt blade, which makes it guaranteed rust-proof for life. Dubbed as the most exotic knife blade material, it is also non-magnetic and makes for a sharp cutting tool. That’s because it forms a toothy edge that slices through any material easily even after it feels dull.

Making the Terrain 365 Otter Slip-Joint Knife even more adventure-ready is its titanium 6AL-4V titanium handles for a lightweight carry both in the hands and in the pocket. Plus, it uses 316 stainless steel dive watch grade hardware and martensitic stainless steel backing for even more durability. 

Aesthetics-wise, this folding knife features a modern modified spear point blade and employs the classic Barlow slip joint inherent with traditional pocket knives, which is characterized by its oval handle and lengthened bolster. Then topped off with a matte finish and a lanyard bail to tether to a carabiner, keychain, or knotted lanyard. 

The Terrain 365 Otter Slip-Joint Knife is quite handy for its size at an overall length of just 6.9 inches. The blade is 3 inches and not thick too at merely 0.115 inches and closes at 3.94 inches. Most of all, it is comfortable to use at just 3.1 ounces.

Adidas Promotes Sustainability With The No-Dye Collection Of Golf Footwear

In its quest for sustainability, Adidas has been making headway with the help of new manufacturing methods. Committed to a greener future, its efforts have led to a partnership with Parley for the Oceans. The goal here is to minimize unnecessary wastes and reduce carbon emissions. To promote this movement, we have the No-Dye Collection of golf footwear.

As long as you have no problems with gear in lighter shades, then Adidas has nailed the formula right here. As the name of the capsule suggests, the company intends to cut the water-intensive part of the production process. This refers to the pre-treatment phase textiles undergo before the dyes are applied.

For the No-Dye Collection, Adidas presents three of its silhouettes to promote the eco-friendly initiative. We have the ZG21 Motion, ZG21 Motion BOA, and Adicross ZX PRIMEBLUE. You’ll notice that the first two are the same model with different closure systems.

The ZG21 Motion and ZG21 Motion BOA cater to users who want to try out which one feels more comfortable on their feet. Meanwhile, the Adicross ZX PRIMEBLUE does away with the spikes in favor of Adidas’ Traxion outsole and signature Torsion bar to add power to your swings.

 In keeping with its plans for minimal impact on the environment, Adidas is using 50% recycled content for the uppers of the No-Dye Collection. We can say that the natural colors of textiles look great with the Halo Mint elements for contrast.

“We’re continually evaluating ways to reduce our environmental impact when it comes to our products,” said Adidas Golf global director of footwear Masun Denison. “With this collection, we’re giving golfers another reason beyond just style and performance to feel good about the shoes they’re wearing.” The No-Dye Collection are available now.

Razer Adds Chroma RGB Lighting To The 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless Pro

Razer prolific use of RGB lighting on almost all of its products has been the subject of jokes among the gaming community. In fact, the feature is what fans look for each time the company launches something new. After giving the Hammerhead earphones the TWS treatment, the brand if finally releasing a model with its Chroma technology.

Back when it entered the smartphone market in 2017, many pointed out a missed opportunity when the device shipped without a backlit triple snake logo. Eager to please its legion of followers, the second-generation handset was packing RGB lighting.

History repeats itself once more as we check out the 2021 version of the Hammerhead True Wireless Pro. The latest pair still retains the stem which the tech industry refers to as an attempt to copy the silhouette of the Apple AirPods. Still, it’s just a minor gripe if you look at the bigger picture.

As we were hinting before, the iconic serpent emblem is now flashier than before. With Razer’s Chroma RGB system built in, users can personalize their Hammerhead True Wireless Pro with up to 16.8 million colors to choose from. Tweak the settings for different lighting effects to stand out from the crowd.

Hybrid active noise canceling with THX high-fidelity acoustic enhancements give you an immersive listening experience. To help during long listening sessions, Razer includes three SecureSeal and three SmoothComfort silicone tips. There’s also a pair of Comply foam tips for optimal comfort.

The Activate Gaming Mode setting prevents latency issues, so game audio matches the action on screen. The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro promises a 20-hour battery life depending on settings and usage patterns.

Subtech Sports’ Pro Drybag 3.0 Is Geared For Extreme Adventures

No matter where your adventures take you, nothing beats tactical backpacks to protect your gear. Subtech Sports’ Pro Drybag 3.0 delivers that and more so you get peace of mind and enjoy the adventure ahead. 

There’s a reason why it’s called “the world’s most extreme drybag.” It is IP68 waterproof, meaning it is submersible down to 165 feet. It even floats when fully packed so it doubles as a lifebuoy too. The material used is Hypalon, the same found on military inflatable boats. This gives the bag its impact protection to keep gear protected for bumps and other rough contacts.

Meanwhile, an airtight zipper keeps the interior protected from air and water condensation. The Subtech Sports’ Pro Drybag 3.0 is for extreme adventures. As such it is lightweight at just 1685 grams and boasts an ergonomic design that fits along the back and spine regardless of body size and shape. It also has a detachable 7075 aluminum alloy waistbelt and sternum strap to help balance the load.  

For quick access to your gear, this backpack/duffel bag employs an extra-strong, low-weight cobra buckle and has magnetic handles. It also uses aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum alloy hooks for easy removal of the detachable straps. Best of all, it folds when not in used to make it travel friendly.

The New Balance Niobium Concept 2 Can Switch Between A Trail-Ready Sandal Or Mule

When you’re ideal summer activity is hitting the trails and taking a dip in remote spots away from the crowd, then read on. No matter how difficult it is to travel right now due to the pandemic, the spirit of adventure lives on. New Balance wants to equip you for the journey with its Niobium Concept 2.

With the controversy surrounding wearing sandals with socks, we’re not planning on angering the fashion critics around us. New Balance probably knows it too and thus creates a hybrid footwear that straddles the fine line between shoe, sandal, and something else.

The Niobium Concept 2 may look like your average trail-ready sneaker, but it’s apparently not. New Balance even refers to it as a sandal in the product description. We’re not going to debate with the manufacturer because these sandals can transform into mules in a jiffy.

Moreover, you can quickly detach the heel strap via the Velcro closures on each side. Still, we recommend you keep these on when trekking over rough terrain. The breathable mesh and suede leather upper keep the Niobium Concept 2 snug yet comfortable.

For the best fit, just adjust the buckle fasteners. It’s outdoor-ready thanks to the Fresh Foam Hierro midsole with Vibram outsole. New Balance likewise adds reflective accents on the heels and toes to aid in low-light visibility.

New Balance really did a great job with the design here. There are two colorways available for the Niobium Concept 2. We prefer the darker tones on the Pigment with natural indigo variant, but the Incense with chocolate brown is just as stylish. As of this writing, the Snow Peak version is no longer in stock.

4DFWD Pulse: Adidas introduces another pair of running shoes with 4D technology

A couple of years back, Adidas caught our attention when it announced its partnership with Parley for the Oceans. This collaboration brought about sustainable footwear that uses recycled plastic and other reusable materials. A few months ago, the 4DFWD made its debut and now we have a new model called the 4DFWD Pulse.

You can think of it as a spin-off of the original with enough tweaks to warrant a lineup of its own. It borrows just enough elements from the original but introduces a new silhouette and a more affordable price point. Although it may seem like a downgrade of sorts, these running shoes still pack the brand’s latest technology.

Adidas assures us that its eco-friendly initiative is not lost in the process. As such, the 4DFWD Pulse features the company’s Primegreen textile for the upper. It may not feel like the sock-like Primeknit on the original, but it provides a snug yet comfortable fit. 

Years of running data give us the 4D midsole, which helps improve performance during your run. The activewear manufacturer uses a proprietary 3D printing system TO create the distinct lattice patterns you see on the heel cradle.

The angle is precision-engineered to cushion every impact and push you forward with every step. Then there’s the high-traction rubber outsole that grips almost every surface. The 4DFWD Pulse uses a lace closure system and features the Adidas badge on the tongue.

Three Stripes branding are visible on the midfoot section of the upper in both medial and lateral sides. A textured overlay on the heel counter extends all the way up to the heel tab. You can get the 4DFWD Pulse in four colorways.

Muzen Audio Is Building A Premium Rugged TWS Speaker Called The Cybershell

With its work on The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, gamers held CD Projekt Red in high regard. After years of development and delays, Cyberpunk 2077 was finally released in September 2020. Sadly game-breaking glitches rendered it almost unplayable on multiple platforms. Despite the disastrous launch, its massive marketing campaign continues to influence designs like that of the CyberShell.

What looks like a fancy futuristic desktop decoration is a fully functional true wireless speaker. Just like how modern TWS earbuds work, you can pair two for stereo sound. So far, we like how Muzen Audio went with physical controls instead of touch.

Moreover, It just feels more immersive when you can mechanically toggle various settings. The CyberShell measures 3.6” x 2.2” x 7.5” (W x D x H) and weighs about 2.3 lbs. The manufacturer is also taking into consideration the build quality here. To match the striking and edgy aesthetics of the speaker, plastic is a no-go.

Instead, they’re using a zinc alloy metal structure, which really makes it a premium option. According to its crowdfunding page, this likewise helps the speaker’s stability and acoustics. For versatility, hook it up to your source via USB-C, 3.5 mm aux cable, or go cordless with Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity.

Meanwhile, moisture won’t be a problem thanks to the IPX5 waterproofing. Our ideal setup would be to grab two CyberShell speakers for our desktop. The RGB lighting makes it a great match for any high-end gaming rig.

The 3,100 mAh lithium-ion battery should last up to 13 hours with average use. Muzen Audio is also offering a Shell Dock, which we’re guessing is for charging the speakers. The first batches of the Cybershell speakers are shipping out later this year.

Suunto’s sleek blackout Core Alpha Stealth watch works with night-vision goggles

When you need a reliable wearable for even the most challenging outdoor adventures, Suunto is a brand would talk about. For its newest release – the Core Alpha Stealth – it’s crafted with specific types of users in mind. According to the manufacturer, what sets it apart is how users can remain inconspicuous when the lights go out.

Aside from the military, we can think of law enforcement, hunters, and documentary filmmakers as those who will benefit from its discrete functionality. As the name already implies, the key feature here is superior visibility even in the absence of a light source.

This comes from the red backlight that illuminates the 2-inch dot matrix display. Even with a pair of night-vision goggles on, the Core Alpha Stealth will remain readable minus the blinding glare from other models. This is handy during tactical operations, hunting at night, and capturing skittish nocturnal wildlife on film.

Suunto says each watch undergoes a rigorous testing phase and meets demanding military standards. The 49.5-mm composite case is paired with an aluminum bezel and mineral crystal for lightweight durability. Despite the chunky outline, it only weighs 2.36 ounces.

Even with regular use, its user-replaceable CR2032 battery cell should last up to 12 months. A barometer, compass, and altimeter provide all the data you need when the situation calls for it. Moister is never an issue here as the Core Alpha Stealth boasts ingress protection up to 100 feet.

What makes this so appealing for us is the blackout colorway which lives to the monicker. To complete the tactical vibe, Suunto pairs the Core Alpha Stealth with a black NATO strap. It may look like one but take note that this is not a smartwatch.

Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler Is A Versatile Addition To Any Outdoor Eats

Coolers are synonymous with camping, picnics at the park, backyard BBQ, or a day at the beach. It is a wonder to haul around regardless of weight and size because it offers storage for food and drinks. But oftentimes, they are made of plastic and this is where Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler beats the rest.

This camping gear brings sustainably to mind with its recyclable construction. Instead of plastic, it uses corrosion-resistant aluminum for its outer housing. It also uses bamboo for its side handle grips and natural rubber gasket. Meanwhile, stainless steel makes up its inner housing. Stainless steel is non-toxic because it does not produce chemicals when exposed to water. It is also known for its durability and is easy to clean. 

Dubbed as the “world’s first recyclable cooler,” Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler uses 100% biodegradable material for its insulation. As its name entails, it uses wool to keep food and drinks frosty. Plus, sheep’s wool is antifungal and proven to absorb and neutralize harmful and odorous substances. 

It even has a bamboo cutting board built right into its lid to use for chopping or serve food and a built-in sandwich tray. The cooler opens with a tackle-box-style hinge to support both cutting and retrieving of items stored inside.

Storage-wise, Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler can store 52 quarts. It can hold 78 cans of beer and keep items cold for a max of three days thanks to the wool insulation. It also comes with a side drainage hole compatible with a standard American garden hose to flush out melted ice easily. It may not be cooler with wheels, but it’s light enough at 18.3 lbs. and compact at 24.6″ L x 14.9″ W.

What we like about the F8 Pro Snowgon is how it addresses other aspects of mobile gaming as well. Before we go into detail about that, let’s focus on what this accessory brings to the table. The system uses a combination of components to draw heat away from the device.

These are a 7-blade fan, an aluminum alloy cooling column, a thermoelectric cooler module, a cold plate, and a thermally conductive silicone pad. Just plug it in, toggle the switch, and watch it come to life as the RGB lighting shines from within. You can almost immediately feel how cold it gets.

What comes next is ergonomics as the comfortable grips stretch out and clamp down securely on your smartphone. Then there’s the detachable joystick for games that demand precisions. Finally, the built-in kickstand is there when you need it. Please note that you must plug in the F8 Pro Snowgon to a power source via USB-C for it to work.

Never Miss A Sip With Viski Harrison’s Cigar Holder Flask

Spirits and tobacco always go together…they give an air of bravado or machismo. If you’re the type who can’t part with them on the daily, then Viski Harrison’s Cigar Holder Flask is for you.

Tobacco and wine aficionados will find this dandy to have for any gentleman’s moment. This hip flask comes in two sides, one to hold 2 ounces of your favorite drink. On the other side is a space to slip a 54-gauge cigar. You can go for rum and a Cuban cigar for a Caribbean vibe. Or you can go Italian with a pairing of Amaro Fernet Branca and Toscano.

Viski Harrison’s Cigar Holder Flask ensures the drink does not spill with its double covering. The flask has its own twist cap with ridges for easy grip when opening. It also shares a cylindrical covering with the storage for the cigar. The cigar also does not slide out even when you pour a drink. You have to manually pull it out to enjoy a smoke. 

This item comes in a polished and gunmetal black finish and both are made with stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance. Stainless steel, commonly used in thermos and travel mugs, is non-toxic since it does not leak chemicals even when exposed to either heat or cold. Thus, it’s ideal to use with any drinkable liquid. It is best use for undiluted drinks though such as your favorite spirits.

Viski Harrison’s Cigar Holder Flask is compact, sleek, and elegant. It’s the perfect companion to any social affair especially the suit-and-tie kind.
