Azio Retro Series Wireless Keyboard And Mouse

At the 2019 Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, computer hardware companies are in full force with guns blazing. Showcasing the best of the best, consumers are seeing some of the most cutting-edge products coming their way. Some of the best tidbits we were able to gather include 5G technology, new processors, and unique laptop models.

One such item is the new HP Envy laptop that mixes wood and metal. Last year, the brand also made headlines with the Spectre Folio, a leather-wrapped notebook. Both models are absolutely stylish, which is why we love the Azio Retro series keyboard and mouse.

The aforementioned HP products earn big points for their choice of materials. Hence, we are also extending our appreciation for the outstanding craftsmanship of Azio’s products. The lineup features wood, leather, and metal. With the right configuration and design, the results can be mesmerizing from an aesthetic standpoint.

Let’s start off with the Retro Compact Keyboard (RCK) that comes in four designs. Three of these use a mix of metal and leather with one model that features a combination of wood and metal. Likewise, a steampunk theme is the best way to describe these Bluetooth keyboards. Moreover, these would make an attractive accessory for your workstation.

Next, the Retro Classic Mouse (RCM) is a Bluetooth ambidextrous mouse. There are three variants available, all of which use leather and metal. According to the manufacturer, the wireless keyboard’s battery can last up to nine months but throttles down to two months with the backlight function on.

Meanwhile, the wireless mouse promises a four-month usage time and its Pixart PAW3805 sensor tracks movement on virtually any surface. The Azio Retro series keyboard and mouse are a little pricey at $219.99 and $99.99, which is a small price to pay for steampunk style.

The Inventor of the Sweatshirt Is Now Making a Premium Line

“The year was 1926 and a college quarterback named Benjamin Russell Jr. was tired of chafing. Tired of asking a wool sweater to do cotton’s job. So he worked with his father to invent the sweatshirt, and in so doing invented arguably the most versatile clothing item of all time.”

So goes the origin story of Russell Athletic, proudly displayed on the front page of its website. Greg Galbraith, Russell’s senior director of brand communications, happily reiterated similar high points when I met him on a sunny hotel patio to chat. I wanted to know where Russell Athletic had come from and what the brand’s history was — how it had suddenly gone from standard-fare athletic uniform supplier, overshadowed by behemoths like Nike and Adidas, to a hyped modern brand collaborating with the streetwear nobility at Kith.

As for athletic uniforms, Russell actually powered down its main line of on-the-field gear in 2017. This move was necessary in order for the brand to make a shift into what Galbraith calls “pinnacle-level sportswear,” the workout apparel and vintage-styled sweats now popular at boutiques across the country. There are still Russell Athletic uniforms being produced in 2019, but the manufacturing is handled by Augusta Sportswear, another longtime maker of athletic gear.

You may be saying to yourself, “But wait — isn’t Russell Athletic a brand I’ve seen at Walmart?” Indeed, Russell continues to produce an affordable line of clothing exclusively for Walmart; there’s a good chance you could jump in the car right now, drive to the nearest location, and pull a Russell t-shirt off the rack. But it wouldn’t be quite the same thing as what the brand is putting its concentrating on now.

“What we’re doing now is focusing on premium, sturdy construction with the best materials reproducing and riffing on designs from the Russell archives,” Galbraith said. “We started to look into the heritage of the brand and there was all this great stuff — heavy knits, chenille patches, logo flocking, stuff that isn’t really done anymore.” He beamed and handed me an iPad which I used to swipe through dozens of pages of old lookbooks and catalogs picturing young athletic models from the 1960s and ’70s decked out in Russell’s finest. It was easy to see how the brand’s new Heritage Collection is an homage to these archival pieces, and how it fits into the fashion market’s current obsession with nostalgia.

So with a firm grounding in its history, Russell Athletic joins the likes of sportswear favorite Champion in making modern basics that riff on timeless designs. Even the aforementioned streetwear collaboration with Kith skews classic — a sort of elevated blank-canvas situation — allowing modern designers, influencers and artists the space to make their marks with unique hand-altered designs.

And, that Russell x Kith collaboration is ongoing; the two brands plan to release 19 more collections together over the next 10 years, a massive commitment from both sides. While those collaborative seasonal releases will surely be sought-after by streetwear fiends — and priced far above Russell’s normal range — you can find the brand’s heritage-inspired sportswear, activewear and accessories on its website now — prices start at $30.

The Best Swim Trunks for Summer Aren’t Just for Swimming

For a lot of guys, it’s not enough to have single application garments anymore — if they invest in a piece of clothing, it should be versatile and multipurpose. Brands are listening to those needs and are now offering the ideal short for summer: a hybrid between a swim trunk and a traditional short.

The style utilizes fabrics appropriate for the water but features design cues lifted from traditional shorts like fly-front zippers, button or snap closures and side pockets. These shorts are your go-anywhere summer short, designed to be worn to the beach and out to dinner on the same day.

Patagonia Stretch Wavefarer Walk Short

These stretch-nylon shorts are treated with a water-repellent finish and hit just above the knee. They feature a zipper fly, belt loops and mesh pockets.

Leica M Monochrom Drifter By Lenny Kravitz

Collaborations between companies and celebrities often go both ways. Depending on the amount of control allowed by the manufacturer, products could end up a hit or a disappointing miss. However, the allure of publicity that comes with a celebrity endorser is too tempting to pass up. One such success is the 2015 partnership between Lenny Kravitz and Leica. The limited edition Leica M-P features a hand-distressed finish that exudes a vintage vibe. The weathered look makes it look like a treasured imaging tool of the user.

Once again, the German company is rekindling its relationship with the music icon for another awesome gadget. The Leica M Monocrhom Drifter by Lenny Kravitz is the latest rock star camera making its debut. If you’re expecting similar aesthetics with the first model, there’s hardly any hint of it with this new shooter. Instead, the highlight is the stylish python snakeskin that wraps around the body of the device. By now, fans of the artist already know he is vegan, hence the premium-quality material is actually synthetic in nature. “I have always had a thing for reptiles since I was a child and love using it in design,” Kravitz points out.

The beautiful pattern of the vegan leather snakeskin melds perfectly with the Sepia Brown color scheme of the body. To add a little contrast, the thumb wheel, shutter, soft-release buttons, and the hot shoe are all in brass. The Leica M Monochrom Drifter by Lenny Kravitz is limited to only 125 units. Each package includes two lenses: a Leica Summicron-M 75 mm f/2 ASPH and a Leica Summircron-M 28 mm f/2 ASPH. Moreover, the bundle comes with a stylish brown faux-leather bag, two pouches, and cases for each of the two lenses.

20 Best Father’s Day Gifts Every Dad Will Love

Father’s Day is an interesting time of year for many men and women alike. Some of our fathers passed away or we may have never known them. Meanwhile, there are others that were cruel and terrible at the job. However, for those dads that were amazing and the ones that still are, it is always great to honor them with Father’s Day gifts.

Your biological father does not always have to be the one that you can consider a dad. There are step-fathers that are amazing out there, as well as uncles and grandfathers. Perhaps, there is a friend of the family that is like a dad to you or maybe even a teacher and a coach.

Whomever you consider a father or like one to you, it is great to do all you can to honor them as well. While just calling to tell them how you feel about them is nice and even seeing them, it’s nice to buy a little something too.

You’re no longer a boy so buying him a tie or socks isn’t enough. However, we are not asking you to break the bank with your purchase either. Men’s Gear thought long and hard about what we’d like to buy our fathers and came up with this list.

While some of the products may come off as weird, others are absolutely awesome! We found perfect gifts from the outdoor, tech, entertainment, and style worlds that every dad will love!

That said, check these out and let us know which of these Father’s Day gifts you’ll want to buy!

The Osprey brand has provided some absolutely amazing products over the years. However, they are most known to the outdoor world as one of the best backpack companies out there.

One of the most common things we at Men’s Gear hear about the brand is that they can do no wrong with their bags. Yet the best thing they offer is a low price and/or reasonable price for everything they add to make them.

At the top of this list is their hydration backpacks. What are they? These bags are specifically made for things like climbing and hiking. They have a water sleeve inside the backpack that you can fill with water or whatever else you might want.

Special tubing is added within the bag and through the shoulder straps, with an endpoint being a straw that you can drink water from. The sleeves are usually capable of holding at least half a gallon of water.

Osprey usually has 2.5L or more in their specialized Osprey Hydraulics® reservoir sleeve. This is more than enough to use for a nice hike, and it won’t be too difficult to carry.

The sleeve fits inside the backpack quite well too, with its own dedicated hook to keep the water safe from other things you might be carrying.

Most of these backpacks from Osprey are under $120 too! Best of all, Osprey’s warranty policy is one of the best in the business. All in all, this is one of the best Father’s Day gifts you could buy for your dad.

  • checkEvery Osprey Hydration Bag Is $130 And Under

Gerber is one of the absolute best outdoor brands in the world. If we even thought for a second that we could ignore them on a list of Father’s Day gifts, we wouldn’t be a real men’s website. Gerber has a ton of great products.

However, if you’re looking for Father’s Day gifts that will fit most any man, you cannot go wrong with their Off-Road Survival Kit. This kit is literally designed for those certain moments when everything goes to hell and dad needs to stay alive.

The reason it is called an off-road survival kit is two-fold. Clearly, you are not going to be driving when you need something like this. On top of that, if you run out of gas or have a bad accident and your car cannot run, you still have to survive.

What happens when the phone is broken, you’re on a dark and unpopulated road, and you’re injured? Gerber wanted to prepare you with a kit for this situation. Everything in the kit is perfect for emergency situations, such as the example we gave above.

It comes with an MP 600 Multi-Tool, Back Paxe Axe, Maglite Pro+ Flashlight, Exchange-A-Blade Handsaw, Concertina Wire Cutter, E-Tool, and a small/basic First Aid Kit.

This fits inside anything dad might drive from a Truck or SUV to a Porsche. It’s compact at just 12″ x 11″ x 3″ in the complete dimensions,

The best thing is that all of this when bought separately from Gerber will cost you quite a lot of money. A few items in this kit can easily be near $100 or beyond it. Yet this survival kit comes in just under $500.

As far as Father’s Day gifts go, it is one of the best you’ll find for what it offers.

Wilson’s Leather may very well be the absolute best leather jacket company that we have ever seen. They have multiple jackets with terrific styles across all fields a leather jacket could be used.

Some men and women may not care for leather itself, so Wilson’s offers other options for those people. They have several jackets from their faux-leather line that are terrific for those looking to feel less guilty.

However, men are usually not going to care about this sort of thing. That is why we direct your attention to one of the company’s best leather jackets. They call it the Wilson’s Classic Leather Jacket.

It comes in brown, which is said to be “Cognac” apparently. As you can see, this jacket is absolutely terrific. Brown tends to match with a lot, but for men, it seems that anything leather can work with their outfit in the casual or business casual department.

Every man has a nice leather jacket in their closet to work for several different functions they might attend.

This specific jacket is quilted to perfection with everything you need to have both a comfortable AND stylish fit. It looks great both open and closed and even has zippered pockets for perfect insulation and an assist to the style.

Although this jacket normally sells for $600, they cut this down by nearly 50% to get right at the $330 price tag. It appears they also brought down the price again for a special sale, meaning this item could be yours for a steal currently!

This falls under Father’s Day gifts that fit nearly any budget.

4Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Editors Rating

  • star

Considered by many to be one of the greatest self-help books for men ever written, Meditations is completely brilliant. It was written by former Roman Emperor himself, Marcus Aurelius.

Yes, THAT Marcus Aurelius.

While the movie Gladiator completely disregards mostly all Roman history when using Marcus, they were not wrong about a few things. Marcus was a tremendous General and brilliant tactician. His ideology was considered to be so impressive that no one questioned his moves.

The biggest issue that Rome dealt with at the time was that Roman Emperors rarely used their children as rulers after they served. They’d name someone to the position and then take them on as a son of sorts. Marcus had this honor yet fought in wars anyway.

The reason Marcus was so well-liked was due to the army believing in him. He never could have ruled without this. Respect from the Roman Army was worth gold to an incoming Emperor. If they questioned you, it could result in a bad situation.

This was something Marcus did not consider in his later life, resulting in his son being killed when he took the throne.

Yet this was the only true mistake Marcus made. The Meditations book was officially formed after his death yet uses all of Aurelius’ stories and thoughts. He was considered to be an impressive Stoic Philosopher due to his writings. Yet his wise nature impressed everyone around him, especially the jackals of the Senate.

However, he never wrote his thoughts down with the intention to publish them. People simply read what he wrote and thought it was just too impressive for the world to never see it. In his writings, he describes the numerous things he dealt with during his time. He does this by making his work into philosophical material.

Marcus’ philosophical writing was written mostly for himself. This is why it feels like he is writing as if he did this for others to enjoy. Yet that simply wasn’t his intention. If anything, Marcus would simply say to people what he thought rather than have them read it.

Due to his impressive writings being read by Generals, Kings, Queens, and your average Joe…the book has remained popular for hundreds of years. Officially, it did not become a major published book until the late 1700s yet the writing itself is nearly 2,000 years old.

When you’re considering Father’s Day gifts for the dad that reads, Meditations is absolutely perfect.

MVMT is one of the best watch brands in the world, yet they are also among the newest of the major brands. Like others, they sell more than just watches at MVMT, yet that is what made them famous.

Officially, most of their watches are used for fashion purposes and not really proper for use outside in the elements. Yet they have several watch lines and every version of them are made for specific purposes. Some of which are made so that you can use them for more than just fashion.

It is impossible for a man to not find a watch here that he’ll love. Seriously, take any man and put them in front of all of their watches and we’ll bet you all the money in our piggy bank that he’ll love something.

This is due to what MVMT brings to the table. They have a ton of different minimalist options, which works for the older and younger father alike. However, they also have watch types that certain fathers may love more such as their Voyager, Odyssey, and Revolver options.

These options are also made to use outdoors and are often water resistant. Their Modern Sport line is the most durable, however. These will be the type you’d want to use on a hike or when you’re going camping.

However, their Classic series is truly what made them famous originally. This mixes in a great look that is both old and new. It’s a hybrid of both styles and looks absolutely terrific. You often have a minimalist appearance with the band and outer-watch contents.

Then they go new school with the watch look underneath the cap. The model in our image above shows you this the best, however.

Father’s Day gifts like this are perfect for the dad that likes to be fashionable. The best part is that MVMT watches work for fathers in any age-group.

Yamaha has been a huge name in the world of music for years, however, they are most prominent for their drums. A lot of fathers out there may be huge fans of music and they may even want to share that love with others.

Yamaha gives them that option with their Electric Acoustic Drums. This is a hybrid of the Electric Drums and your regular Acoustic Drum set that has been around for decades.

They simply take your acoustic drums and have you put the product on them. This allows your acoustic drums to become electric as well!

This is something you’ll see in a music studio today, as it gives the band the sound they need while not compromising with the sound quality. The ability to switch up sound like electric drums is efficient yet classic drummers will love the appeal of the normal design and set up.

You can easily record your play too. All you need to do is download their application, plug in your phone to the system when you’re ready to record, and you’re all set. It is literally that simple.

This app even allows you to record yourself playing live, and not just record the sound. Of course, that only gives you the ability to see yourself play and notice any mistakes you might make. Thus, this is also a good drum set to learn on.

Best of all, unlike normal electric drums, you do not need anything to be “turned on” for these drums to work. The drums are still acoustic, as you’re either buying a normal set to play on from Yamaha or you have your own that you’re adding the product to.

They can be unhooked from any electric properties and still operate like normal acoustic drums.

This is a huge asset that makes them well worth getting for ALL drummers. Of course, the electric part only works when they are plugged in, naturally. Plus, you’ll get a better quality overall sound with them being plugged in too.

When one considers Father’s Day gifts, this may be out of the budget. Yet it’s really awesome, so maybe you can have fun with this along with Dad.

  • checkCan Record Using Various Sounds

The Icemule Boss™ backpack is quite unique and well worth your investment. What is it?

While it acts as a regular backpack, 30L of space we might add, it is sooo much more. The Icemule brand makes coolers, which are world renowned for their ability to handle the heat.

Unlike some coolers that end up getting hot and melt the ice inside of them, Icemule holds up well enough to last numerous hours within it. In most cases, the Icemule Boss™ is the best among them and can last days keeping things cold.

Seriously, put ice in this thing and leave it outside a day or two. You’ll be shocked to see that nothing has truly melted in that time.

Of course, this depends on the temperature outside. Yet regardless of 100-degree temps, it can still manage at least a day before it starts to have trouble.

The way Icemule manages to do this is through their own genius designs. They use their PolarLayer XT™ Insulation foam and IM AirValve™ to keep things cool.

Essentially, the insulation helps to prevent anything from getting out. Meanwhile, the air valve keeps everything from getting in, including warm air. They manage to triple their protection of the inside contents with their Tri-Fold DriTop™ too.

This opens up to allow the user to put ice and contents inside. You merely fold it and put it into the bag. This foldable top ensures even less warmth gets in. With all of this in play, it is not shocking to see it hold up so well.

This is not where things end with this cooler either.

Due to being a backpack as well, it is truly meant for portability. You can carry cold stuff as well as other things you might need to take along with you. It even uses PakShield™ zippers to keep things together.

It is capable of easily handling 60lbs too. On top of all of this is Icemule’s specialized MuleSkin™ fabric. This fabric allows the bag/cooler to be 100% waterproof. That means you can take this into rainstorms and you’re ensured a dry inside when you arrive at your destination.

This is something that can work for both a young and older father, in our opinion. It is perfect for camping or outdoor get-togethers. Father’s Day gifts like this are special and well worth the investment you make. It is something your dad can use over and over for numerous things.

Columbia is considered by many to be one of the best outdoor clothing brands in the world today. It is not hard to see why, as they have managed to do quite well with men and even women with their clothing.

They sell better than most brands, which has ultimately allowed them to specialize their clothing items. This is where their Performance Fishing Gear comes into play. There is a ton of gear in this line to be excited about if you’re a fisherman.

Although it depends on your interests and needs, they seem to have a perfect line that can work for every man. Here are some of the things you can buy:

  • Harborside™ Chino Pant
  • Blood and Guts™ III Convertible Pant

They also have specially designed shoes that will be perfect for fishing nearly anywhere. Since most can handle water pretty well, you won’t have to worry about the issues normal sneakers might provide. Here are a few of the shoes you can get from Columbia:

  • Force 12™ II PFG Shoe
  • Bahama™ Vent PFG Shoe
  • Dorado™ CVO PFG Shoe
  • Bahama™ Vent Relaxed PFG Shoe
  • Bahama™ Vent Loco Relaxed II PFG Shoe
  • Delray™ CVO PFG Shoe
  • Bahama™ Vent Marlin PFG Boat Shoe
  • Bahama™ Vent PFG Shoe – Wide
  • Delray™ PFG Shoe
  • Bahama™ Relaxed Marlin PFG Boat Shoe
  • Dorado™ Slip PFG Shoe

This is only a small portion of the gear line too. They have plenty of hats, gloves, and much more clothing on top of that. We recommend you check them out whenever possible.

If the selection depth wasn’t enough for you, the price sure could be. Most of the items listed above are $75 and under. The shirts average $25 to $50 alone! That means you could easily buy dad an entire outfit of sorts with these prices for $100 or less!

When we think about Father’s Day gifts that dad will love, our first thought is how universal the choices will be. It is clear that most men will love gear like this either to fish in or to use outdoors.

That said, you cannot go wrong with picking something from the Columbia Performance Fishing Gear line.

Filson has been one of the best work jacket brands in the world the last number of years. However, they really took a shot at other companies when they introduced an affordable line of utility and work jackets.

The reason companies took it as a shot at them was due to Filson making these jackets and the entire line of gear insanely affordable. The biggest example of this in their entire line is the C.C.F. Utility Jacket.

You can purchase this impressive jacket for just $150. You may assume that this is a bit pricey, but it’s actually not. In fact, an average jacket just like this will cost you $300 to $400 elsewhere.

Carhartt among other brands sell the same type of jacket for that price, so Filson knew they could beat that with an affordable price on their items. While most of their clothing items are fairly priced, something bigger comes out of this.

Filson makes everything in North America, with most items being made in the United States of America. Their C.C.F. Utility Jacket happens to be made in Canada.

This jacket is made using cotton duck canvas, and it is filled with lightweight polyester insulation. The hood on the jacket is also insulated and even adjustable. The jacket also has two chest pockets, interior security pocket, and handwarmer pockets.

These pockets are also made larger to accommodate when you’re wearing gloves.

They are made for work, being out in the field, and even everyday use. It’s truly a universal jacket that is affordable for nearly anyone. This jacket is great for Father’s Day in our book. Father’s Day gifts like this may not be used right now, but it’ll certainly be used down the line.

If you’re looking for something that’ll be perfect for any father at any stage of their life, it’s gotta be Jack.

Trust us, every dad needs a drink every once in a while. You were quite a handful and likely still are for them. Due to this, they always needed something strong to drink to help them deal with it all.

Heck, they may still have your mother to deal with on a regular basis. We all know that she makes him deal with a lot more than he’s capable of at times.

That said, Jack Daniel’s Whiskey is a perfect gift for him.

While in America one must be 21 years of age or older, you can always find a bottle that you think he’ll like and give him the money to buy it for himself. If you’re of age, go ahead and buy it for the guy. If not, try that option and either way, he’ll be good with the decision.

What can you choose for him?

Jack is known as one of the best Rye Whiskey companies in the world and especially the United States. That said, their Tennessee Rye may be the best option if you know your father likes this type.

Maybe you’re not sure what dad likes.

That means you may need to guess the best possible option, but you won’t need to search too hard on this. There are a few you cannot go wrong with. That’s the Gentleman Jack & Old No. 7.

These are some of the top whiskeys in the country, period. They also can be used in various food dishes. Old No. 7 alone has a mellow taste that isn’t really very strong. The alcohol isn’t too overbearing, so it tastes good and still gives you the buzz a normal whiskey offers.

This is also the type of Jack Daniels whiskey most people use for the infamous “Jack & Coke” option.

Meanwhile, the Gentleman Jack is both mellow and smooth. This smoothness is a big deal for men who do not drink very much. A lot of men prefer to have something that goes down easy even if they do have a drink on the regular.

This is why the Gentleman Jack is so useful. It is a universal whiskey that isn’t too much for any man to deal with. Plus, it tastes very good. It has an oaky taste due to the barrel it was in and they add vanilla & caramel to the drink mix to give it a small sweet taste too. It’s a terrific combo.

Most Jack bottles are going to be 750ML or 1.75L in size. That means you can get a good bit out of one bottle that dad can return to a lot when needed. The prices are pretty easy to handle for all the versions we mentioned too.

You’ll spend anywhere between $25 and $50, depending on the size you get and where you buy it from. Father’s Day gifts like this are cheaper and in every budget. Plus, we all know Dad needs a drink almost every day.

KEEN is a brand that Men’s Gear absolutely loves. We have written on their products many times and have added them to our best brand lists when it comes to work & outdoor boots.

They are a friend to the site, so we could not avoid adding them to the list. We truly believe in their boots and shoes and we feel the Dover boots are some of the best KEEN has to offer.

They are among the newest in their line of utility boots.

The best thing about KEEN is that they make utility boots look like something you’d wear to work our out in public. At the same time, you’re getting an amazing pair of boots that keep your feet safe and help you from having any major issues.

The Men’s Dover boots have a carbon fiber toe, which allows for the boots to be more mobile while also protecting you from most falling objects. That could be something as simple as a wrench falling or even something more serious, like a knife.

This won’t protect like a steel toe boot, keep in mind. Yet for your basic needs, your toes are safe from major issues.

KEEN puts ALL of their utility boots through extreme testing in not only their own testing center but also with safety companies. This allows them to make a pair of boots that meet all safety regulations,

The Dover meets the following safety ratings:

  • The ASTM F1677-96 MARK II Non-Slip Testing Standards
  • The ASTM F2412-17 and F2913-17 F I/75 C/75 EH Standards
  • And the ASTM F2913-17 SATRA Non-Slip Testing Standards

Some of you may not know what that stuff means. However, for the man who may work outside or in a factory…you’ll know all about these regulations.

The Dover also uses special KEEN technology. The Dover is capable of a lot, which is why so many seem to love it already. Here is what you can look for in the KEEN Dover boots:

  • KEEN.DRY WATERPROOF, BREATHABLE MEMBRANE
  • WATERPROOF LEATHER UPPER
  • KONNECTFIT HEEL-CAPTURE SYSTEM FOR A LOCKED-IN FIT
  • TPU SHANK FOR MIDFOOT SUPPORT
  • REMOVABLE METATOMICAL PU FOOTBED
  • 90° HEEL (5/8″ HEIGHT)
  • KEEN LUFTCELL DUAL-DENSITY PU MIDSOLE, INFUSED WITH AIR FOR WEIGHTLESS COMFORT
  • OIL- AND SLIP-RESISTANT NON-MARKING RUBBER OUTSOLE

Best of all, the Dover boots are made in the United States. You’ll be supporting working Americans by buying them, so why not?

The Dover boots are lightweight despite all the safety they have, and they’re insanely comfortable. Shoes made for people to work in must be comfortable, otherwise, it would be difficult to get a job done, right?

To get some discounts, all students can use their Student Program and get a little bit off of the cost. The same can be done for people who sign up for the KEEN Pro Program.

SOG is one of the best knife makers we’ve ever seen. The best part is that they offer all of their knives at affordable prices that anyone can afford. Although they do have specialty knives that can be a bit expensive, around 90% of them are less than $100.

This brings us to one of the best Father’s Day gifts one can buy, the SOG Flash II.

This knife is part of a line of knives from SOG under the Flash II banner. All of the knives are assisted open, however, they also differ mostly when it comes to the blade. We prefer a certain one in the line called the Flash II Black Tini.

It comes with a serrated blade that takes up half the overall blade. The remaining portion of it is a straight fixed blade type. This allows the overall blade to be capable of cutting nearly anything.

To top it off, it is a great knife to have for protection.

As mentioned, it’s assisted open. This is actually legal in all 50 states across America and even legal in The UK. Switchblades are often banned in several countries as well as many states in America.

Meanwhile, assisted open knives are not considered as dangerous. Yet they can still open fast enough to give you the proper speed when you need them most.

To further add to its usefulness, the knife also comes with a clip that allows men to attach it to a belt or on their person somewhere else.

If you feel another from the Flash II line is best, then, by all means, buy it. You cannot go wrong with any SOG knife, in our opinion.

SOG puts a lifetime guarantee on their knives, so they are well worth the buy. On top of this, every knife from the Flash II line is under $100. Currently, a sale is going on to get one for less than $60.

You may not know a lot about the Cloudstyle brand, but they are one of the most affordable suit companies we have seen. To top it off, they also bring quality to their work and therefore their clothing does not come off cheaply made.

Established in 2014, Cloudstyle became an international trade company. This means they are capable of getting a product to anyone nearly anywhere in the world. Currently, they export suits and other clothing to over 100 countries around the world.

Based in Canada but have clothing made all over the world, they set out on a mission to make quality suits affordable to the masses. So far, Cloudstyle has lived up to their concept. For Father’s Day, it makes total sense to buy one of their best suits.

For us, it’s their 2-piece Slim Fit Business Suit. This suit comes in 10 different colors, so you’re bound to find one you like. The current colors offered are green, black, maroon, pink, purple, blue, navy, khaki, and dark cyan.

One thing we like about Cloudstyle is that they are very open about their sizing and what is in their suits. For example, their Business Suit is made with 67.9% Polyester, 31.2% Viscose, and 0.9% of Spandex.

We recommend you check the sizing chart that they clearly put on the screen before you buy. Their sizing slightly differs from American sizing. This is very important.

Father’s Day gifts like this may be best for the younger father. Yet it could also make a slightly older man look damn good too. We’re sure he’ll love it.

One of the best Father’s Day gifts this year might very well be the Omen Mindframe Headset by HP. This headset is purposely made for gamers but it can be used for multiple purposes like podcasts, listening to music, and much more.

The coolest part about these headphones, literally, is the frost cap technology.

Do you know how after your use of them for a while, the headset can end up making your ears kinda hot? Gamers especially know this feeling. That is why the Omen added the frost cap, as it’s quite literally designed to keep you cool.

Inside the headphones, you’ll see a metal-looking cap. This is where the cooling comes in while you’re wearing them. If you feel like you’re getting too warm at any point, you can always just push them close to your ear to get cooler quicker.

This is not all the Omen offers.

The sound quality is extremely effective, capable of delivering full immersion in the game or the music. This allows them to be noise-canceling while also delivering quality sound at the same time.

The sound can be insanely loud or very little. It is fully adjustable on the headset. It also uses realistic positional audio. Meaning if you hear gunshots in a game from the right side, your right ear will hear it and not the other. If something is far away or close, you’ll hear it based on the volume it would realistically be heard.

In order to use the mic on the headset, you merely need to just pull the mic down. To turn it off, you just push it up in the original position it came in.

The fit is also perfect for most heads, even those with larger heads. You know who we’re talking about…Gerald.

They took the price down from its normal $200 to only $130. That means it’s the perfect time to buy!

The RUSH™ line by Under Armour is the newest line from the company. A lot of the time, new lines mean higher prices and thus less affordable options. However, that was never the idea for Under Armour.

They wanted to make a clothing line that could fit the average man’s needs while also making a profit that the company could benefit from. There are some products from Under Armour that might be higher in price than needed, but not the RUSH™ line.

One of the best products from it is their Compression Long-Sleeve Shirt.

This is perfect for the athletic father as well as the one who just likes to go to the gym. It’s also for the type of guy that wants to look a bit better. Since this is a compression shirt, it smushes the fat in. Therefore, it can be worn underneath normal clothing and make a man look slightly slimmer.

This shirt is ultralight according to UA. So much so, it’s called a “second skin” by those who have used it. The shirt also helps to improve endurance and strength. The way it does this is by using the clothing to absorb energy and reflect it back into the muscles and tissues.

All of the RUSH™ gear offers anti-odor technology to prevent the growth of odor-causing microbes. The compression shirt offers mesh panels, providing tremendous ventilation.

Powered by Celliant, the body of the product is made of 82% of Polyester as well as 18% Elastane. Meanwhile, the mesh panels are made up of 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane.

The UA RUSH™ line is athlete tested and athlete approved, so we’re pretty sure dad will love the gear. We feel even stronger about the compression shirt, as it is perfect for any man who chooses to buy one or take one on as a gift.

Father’s Day gifts like this can be used throughout the year, so it’ll more be worth the investment.

A multi-tool is really hard to find when you think about it. At least, a good one is hard to find. There are plenty out there with a few interesting things in them. However, they are usually cheaply made and from a random business in China or something.

We did not want to guide you to one of those, but we knew we wanted to mention multi-tools in this piece. Men love multi-tools, especially fathers. You know how much crap we have to put together, so having something that can work for any need is incredibly useful.

The best at making them, in our book, is Victorinox. The Swiss masters are obviously a top company for the infamous Swiss Army Knives. However, it does not take much for them to merely adjust things and make an amazing multi-tool.

They’re clearly Swiss enough to make this sort of thing work out well for themselves. That said, their clear best is the SwissTool Spirit XC, the Plus Racket version. What does it contain? An impressive 29 tools!!

Those tools are:

With so many tools and useful material in this multi-tool, it is something every man can benefit from having. It is quite clear that your father will obviously have a use for it, which means you won’t be wasting money on something you know he likely won’t use.

Fathers are nothing if not always in need of more tools, at least the ones that we’ve known.

That said, Father’s Day gifts like this are obviously going to be well worth it. On top of this, buying from Victorinox offers some big perks. Not only are you getting quality but also a company that stands by their products.

Their multi-tools have a lifetime guarantee. This means that you never have to worry about getting value out of your purchase. It’ll clearly be worth it or the company will fix the problems that prevent it from being just that.

The Kangee™ T-Hawk is one of the absolute best tactical tomahawks in the world today. If nothing else can be said about it, the Kangee™ has managed to stand out over other tomahawks due to how impressively it’s made.

It was originally designed for Columbia River Knife & Tool, CRKT, by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical. He has made several different products involving blades over the years, but he’s one of the true best when it comes to tomahawk designs.

The Kangee™ T-Hawk is incredibly well-made and designed. It stands out due to its versatility and how durable it happens to be.

This tomahawk uses the incredible SK5 Carbon Steel for the sharp side of the product. It then uses tremendous glass reinforced nylon handles, with an additional textured grip. It also comes in a Boltaron® Sheath, which includes a buckled strap.

This makes the sheath MOLLE compatible.

Due to the nylon handles and gripping, this tomahawk can be used in the rain and snow without the risk of it slipping from your hands. The coolest part is that you could drop this in a puddle of mud or a lake and then be capable of using it without an issue.

The actual blade is made with durable carbon steel, which makes it nearly impossible to destroy. The Kangee™ actually comes with a spike end, which allows you to use the T-Hawk for protection from animals as well as other humans, and even fishing.

If that wasn’t enough, it comes in at a price that is affordable and among the best in the industry for tomahawks of this value.

We love Father’s Day gifts like this because it can be used for so much. On top of this, you’re getting a product that’ll last for a very long time.

5.11 Tactical is clearly a company known for its tactical products. You don’t need us to tell you that, but they also have several impressive outdoor products overall. We could not recommend them enough for your needs in this area.

The company often makes products that can be considered universal or great for use every single day. This is especially true about their Apex Pants, which are some of the most comfortable and useful tactical pants on the market.

The biggest issue with pants and jeans is that you cannot move well in them. Men usually have to go to sweatpants to get that kind of freedom. Even shorts are better for this.

5.11 wanted to end that problem, which is why their pants overall are very impressive. You can move easily in them due to the material in them being capable of stretching. This allows you to move up, down, left, and right without an issue.

The Apex Pants are useful due to all they provide the wearer. Due to so much being involved in these pants, we felt we needed to just show you the list of special additions you’re going to be getting out of them. Check all of this out:

  • Internal cargo pouch magazine pockets
  • Twin back yoke magazine pockets
  • Flex cuff pocket inside waist
  • Two-way Flex-Tac® mechanical stretch
  • Handcuff key pocket inside rear waist
  • Teflon® treated to repel stains, soil, and moisture
  • Gusseted construction
  • Comfort waistband
  • Articulated knees
  • Deep cargo pockets with clean interior finish
  • Reinforced knife clip area
  • Seven reinforced belt loops
  • Bartacking at key stress locations
  • Genuine YKK® zipper hardware
  • Made with 67% Polyester/ 33% Cotton

It’s clear with all of this in the pants, they’re going to be quite helpful to any man who decides to wear them. This makes them perfect for Dad, who could truly get a lot of wear out of these pants for sure.

They even come in 10 different colors. Those are:

  • Ranger Green
  • Black
  • Khaki
  • Storm
  • Volcanic
  • Battle Brown
  • Burnt
  • TDU Green
  • Tundra
  • Dark Navy

They come in a ton of different sizes to meet most men’s needs. In fact, they offer waist sizes 28 to 44. Although they only have 4 length sizes, those are 30, 32, 34, and 36.

That could be problematic for taller men, but it likely covers the vast majority of them.

We love Father’s Day gifts like this, as it certainly makes sense for Dads. It fits what they’d want and need, so you’re getting a present that you can be sure they’ll get a lot of use out of. You may need to speak with your mom or him about sizing first, however.

While we always like KEEN due to their versatile line of shoes and boots that can be used for work or casual activity, it’s hard to hate a good pair of boots specifically made for work. Justin Original is a terrific brand that knows how to make a solid pair of work boots.

While they can make a casual pair too, they are known for their affordable work boots that are extremely well-made. One of the best pairs they have is their Pulley Steel Toe option that is exactly as it sounds, steel toe boots.

These are part of their 8-inch lace-up boot line, which is extremely popular with the brand.

You get a lot with these boots, so let’s go over what you’ll be getting for Dad here.

The boots are “distressed brown leather.” This gives it a slightly older yet vintage look. As with every pair of Justin Original boots, the patented J-Flex Flexible Comfort System® insole comes with this pair of boots too. This helps protect your feet with a comfortable inside.

While the comfort system will help you well throughout a given day, the Stampede™ Rubber and EVA Combination is insanely helpful to the boots overall. This makes them resistant to abrasions, chips, slipping, and marking.

This allows for the wearer to move about any surface without the risk of any major issues.

The inclusion of this also allows these boots to be worn in Electrical Hazards up to 18,000 volts. Meanwhile, the steel toe in the boots allows men to wear this pair in most factories across the United States.

On top of this, the impressive insole allows for men to wear them on a ranch without the risk of any discomfort throughout a given day.

While many products made by Justin Original are made in America, they do not tend to have a great warranty policy. They do have a good 60-day return policy in place but the 1-year warranty they offer is quite limited, unlike that of rival companies.

Many of which offer a lifetime deal or fully cover shoes and/or boots for the 1 to 2 years they are under warranty for any reason.

Outside of this, there really isn’t a bad thing to say about the boots. Typically a warranty or return isn’t needed because the boots are so impressive. Most men get years out of their boots before any repairs or replacements need to be made when they buy Justin Original.

Father’s Day gifts like this are practical and well worth the investment.

With the success of the Bohemian Rhapsody film, the band known as Queen has become a big deal once again. They’re now even traveling, doing several big concerts with Adam Lambert stepping in for the brilliant Freddy Mercury.

While Queen is not making any new music truthfully, they are still known for their amazing work. It’s pretty obvious that your Dad will love a great Queen CD to listen to.

Luckily, Queen has a great way for you to listen to them. There is a “Best Of” CD right now that will cost you less than $30 to buy. It costs around $20, which makes it a cheaper option for your old man.

Father’s Day gifts don’t have to be expensive. While most of us may buy a CD via iTunes, it’s likely your Dad will want something to listen to the old fashioned way. To do this, he’ll need a CD, despite their uselessness in today’s medium for most of us.

That said, we’ve managed to find a “Best Of” CD for Queen that includes most of their biggest hits. It’s under what is known as the Queen Platinum Collection. That means you’ll see songs on here such as:

  • Another One Bites The Dust
  • Killer Queen
  • Crazy Little Thing Called Love
  • Somebody To Love
  • Don’t Stop Me Now
  • Fat Bottom Girls
  • We Will Rock You
  • We Are the Champions
  • Under Pressure
  • Bohemian Rhapsody
  • Play The Game
  • The Show Must Go On
  • These Are The Days Of Our Lives

These major songs and many more are in the collection, making it terrific for the biggest Queen fan. Father’s Day Gifts like this are cheaper, yet perfect for the Dad who loves music.

Top 14 Motorcycle Goggles In 2019

While motorcycle goggles might not bring the same sexiness that a helmet or leathers would, they’re an extremely important part of your get up. Whether you love nothing more than spraying dirt and mud into the air when off-roading or you simply use your motorcycle to commute to work, you’ll need an adequate pair of goggles to provide protection, good visibility, and of course, style.

Let’s face it, unless you’re a frog you’re not going to enjoy flies hitting your face on a regular basis as you trundle down the highway – especially if they hit you square in the eyes. Wind and rain can also be a distraction and are therefore another reason to wear motorcycle goggles, let’s not forget you’ll also want to ensure that your eyes are protected from UV rays as well.

As you will know, there is nothing too ingenious about what motorcycle goggles do but this doesn’t mean that they’re all the same. You can find expensive goggles that are garbage and cheaper goggles that are surprisingly good at what they do. The only issue is that there are so many of them out there to choose from and it can be a bit difficult establishing which are the ones worthing looking at.

Fortunately for you guys, we have performed some highly scientific tests on 14 of the best motorcycle goggles to make your job of finding a pair so much easier. We wore them in the bath, in a wind-tunnel, during a moon-landing, and even when dressing up as a minion just to see how they would hold up in different environments. All of those on the list came through with flying colors and are therefore just about good enough to make our list of recommendations.

Okay, so we might have exaggerated a tiny bit and our tests actually consisted of wearing them while riding our motorcycles a few times, prodding them with our fingers, and throwing them at each other to see which didn’t break – still pretty scientific if you ask us.

So, ready to find the perfect pair of motorcycle goggles? You better get reading then!

If you’re looking for a good cheap pair of motorcycle riding goggles to get started with or as a backup to your main pair, you are not going to go wrong with the Demeixs Motorcycle Goggles. Like the Oakley above, these are primarily aimed at the off-roading bike and ATV riders among you but we are confident they will be able to provide ample protection when used for other outdoor activities as well.

First and foremost, these look great, right up there with the best looking on this list in our opinion, so if looking the business is a priority for you, these should definitely be checked out. They are actually very comfortable for the price too and will also easily fit a pair of glasses underneath. We found them to be incredibly sturdy too, but then you would expect that from any type of gear that is there to protect you.

Where the real value for money comes into play is when you consider that these offer similar features as goggles that are three or four times their cost. You’ll get lenses that offer complete UV protection and are also scratch, dust, and fog resistant to boot. For the price you are paying that is pretty impressive it has to be said.

Overall quality is not quite there compared to more expensive goggles but these are more than capable of providing you all the protection that you need as you tear up the track.

These guys know how to make a top-quality set of goggles which is why the Oakley O-Frame MX Goggles are one of the most expensive on our list of recommendations.

You are not only paying for the brand, however, as Oakley are worn by professional Motocross and supercross riders across the globe simply because they offer the best protection. Don’t believe us, ask Ricky Carmichael, the world’s most successful rider in history as to why he always chose Oakley.

Designed with racers and off riders in mind, the O-Frame are also more than able to be used for everyday riding and even for other sports. These good-looking goggles come in a variety of designs but it is the build quality and the many features that will appeal to most of you.

A flexible-O-Matter frame with three layers of face foam around the rims is there to ensure optimum comfort while the highly durable scratch and impact resistant lenses will allow you to compete in the toughest of races without worry of damage. Anti-fog features will mean that you will not have to worry about your lenses steaming up even in the most humid of conditions and you can even swap out lenses for different conditions.

Why wear your glasses underneath a pair of regular motorcycle goggles when you can just buy some prescription motorcycle goggles like the Bobster Cruiser 2 goggles? Just send your goggles off to Bobster with your prescription details and they will fit your Rx lenses before sending them back to you.

Even better is that they even provide you with three different polycarbonate lenses, each suitable to different levels of daylight, as part of the deal. You have clear, amber, and smoked lenses to choose from which means that you’ll be able to enjoy clear visibility and added protection no matter what time of the day or night.

If a wide peripheral view, comfort, and the ability to wear over the top of glasses is something you value over the neon-design thrills of other goggles, the Biltwell Moto 2.0 Goggles are where you should begin your search.

While the design is quite basic, Biltwell offers no apologies for this simply because the Moto 2 have been built to perform rather than to look good. A large eye-port offers a great field of view and space beneath to wear prescription glasses while the polycarbonate anti-fog coated lenses are scratch and impact proof.

These are at the top in terms of cost compared to our other suggestions but it has to be said that once you see and feel the build quality, comfort levels, and the durability that these goggles provide on top of their obvious safety benefits, you will quickly agree that they are worth the extra.

While the vain among you will probably want to look elsewhere, those of us that are not as aesthetically-blessed will be more than happy with the obvious quality that the Moto 2.0 goggles provide. Oh, did we mention that you can easily purchase and fit replacement or additional lenses too? Bargain!

Pros

  • checkExcellent peripheral visibility
  • checkCan be worn with glasses underneath

Firstly, do you see what they have done there? Birdz Eyewear? If you are struggling, think frozen foods and you are there. Brand name aside, however, their Eagle goggles are actually very impressive considering their budget price tag.

Designed to look like aviator goggles, these actually look quite stylish too when you factor in the yellow lenses. These are not there purely to look the part though, the yellow lenses have actually been designed specifically to be ideal when driving in low-light conditions such as in the morning. Those lenses are polycarbonate, shatterproof, and offer complete 100% UV protection which is pretty impressive considering the low cost of these goggles.

If you take your off-roading seriously you might want something that offers slightly more in terms of durability but they are certainly an able backup. These are more suited to road riders on their way to work in the morning and on their way back home in the evenings. They are a little small, not really suited to wearing spectacles underneath and are prone to scratching but once again, once we point you to their price, they still represent good value for money.

Pros

  • checkGreat price
  • checkIdeal for wear in low light
  • checkUV protection & shatterproof

Cons

  • cross-altProne to scratching

If you love getting down and dirty…on the off-road race track guys, get your minds on track, then you are going to need some goggles that can help keep the dirt out of your eyes. The 4-FQ motocross goggles will do just that while offering plenty of other advantages too.

What will first impress you with the 4-FQ is how they look, they really do look good and we’re confident that they will go with almost any style of helmet that you have. Made from PU resin, the goggles themselves feel nice and sturdy while also offering plenty of bendability and flexibility to ensure good levels of comfort. We also love the fact that the nose protector is detachable but that might be because most of us here have rather large snouts.

As for the lenses, which as we all know is what separates the great goggles from the good ones, these offer up UV protection and are fog, scratch, and dust resistant. They are also mirrored which just adds to their great looking design and we certainly have no complaints about the level of tinting used as it is perfect for those bright days.

These are advertised primarily as motocross goggles but really they could be used for many extreme sports such as off-roading, snowboarding, or skiing. For the price, they even make a good investment if you are only going to wear them each winter when you need to plow the driveway.

Pros

  • checkFits well over glasses
  • checkBendable OTG Frame
  • checkAttractive looking

Cons

  • cross-altCould do with non-slip on the band

Now with the Scott Recoil Goggles, you either love a bit of pink in your gear, which of course, there is nothing wrong with that in this day and age, or you need some goggles for the girlfriend or wife. Either way, you are getting a pair from a well-trusted brand that is known for developing quality at a great price.

Suitable for use on the motorcycle either when off-roading or on the roads, these goggles offer up good levels peripheral view, protection from UV, and of comfort, even for those of us with oddly shaped heads due to the adjustability that it provides. Fitted with a Lexan lens they are also particularly difficult to scratch and are built to be extremely durable.

While these will not be able to compete with goggles much higher in price, they do offer an excellent option for anyone looking for an entry-level pair or simply some as a backup option. Many have also commented on these motorcycle goggles on Amazon claiming that they work perfectly well when snowmobiling or enjoying other winter activities.

Pros

  • checkGood quality build
  • checkWide area of view
  • checkFits all sizes due to the adjustable strap

Cons

Generally, lower cost goggles are not going to bring much in terms of performance when compared to their older priced peers but this is the second pair we have recommended from 4-FQ and for some very good reasons. While they are fairly cheap, they offer up the sort of protection, comfort, and build quality of products double or even triple their price.

Sure, if you’re a professional motocross rider you are going to go for something a bit more advanced but for the rest of us, these are more than adequate when enjoying a bit of biking action.

Standout features of the G4 are a silicone strap that is non-slip and highly adjustable, a tight fit that prevents any foreign objects or moisture from getting in, and highly transparent lenses that are difficult to scratch and polarized so protect against UV. In terms of how they look, they don’t do too badly here either as they have a nice design that is big enough to offer the protection it does but not too big so that it feels like they cover your entire face.

Pros

  • checkGreat price
  • checkProtects from wind, dust, water, and UV
  • checkNon-slip strap

Cons

  • cross-altMight be a tight fit if wearing glasses

Fox Racing has been in the MX business for longer than most of us have been alive and their Fox Racing Main Race Goggle is a great place to start if you are looking for quality at an affordable price.

Better looking than your than your best looking friend and more reliable than your ex-girlfriend, these goggles will become a welcome addition to your motocross gear. With a broad field of view, extreme comfort due to three layers of foam, and a Lexan lens, you are unlikely to find better in this price range. In fact, we would go as far to say that these are among our favorite on our list of recommendations.

An additional bonus is that these have a post built-in that will allow you to implement tear-offs which will appeal to the more serious racers out there. Furthermore, offering complete UV protection, the ability to easily replace the lens, and a variety of different designs, just adds to the attraction. Despite being specifically designed for MX and off-roaders, the main race goggles will be more than adequate for road riding too.

Pros

  • checkLexan lens

Another cracking set of motorcycle goggles in our opinion is that of the Pacific Coast Airfoil 9305 Goggles. Designed to be the ideal choice for us four-eyed folk wearing glasses, these goggles also offer up plenty of other advantages that go some way to making them somewhat of a bargain.

Produced by Pacific Coast, as you might have already guessed, they have come from a company that has been making glasses and goggles for more than 30-years. After so long in the business, you would have to assume that they know what they’re doing and in this case, you would be right. These goggles are the latest in a long line of ranges that have become popular among a wide range of motorcyclists.

They can fit almost all sizes of glasses underneath quite comfortably and the actual comfort felt on the face is at a high level as well. The glasses you’re wearing are not pressed right into your face like many other supposedly ‘glasses-friendly’ goggles do and your vision is not affected by having to look through two sets of lenses.

Those lenses offer 100% UV protection and are unlikely to fog over due to a tight fit frame which is also well ventilated.

Pros

  • checkFit over most prescription glasses
  • check100% polycarbonate lens
  • checkGood field of vision

Cons

  • cross-altMight seem a little big for some

If you are on the hunt for some budget motorcycle goggles, you are not going to find much better than these Bobster Bugeye Goggles. These might not offer you the durability and protection levels of goggles that are two or three times the price but they are surprisingly good for their price tag.

While you will be using these goggles primarily when riding your motorcycle, you will find they can also be used when skydiving, snowmobiling, skiing, and even the most dangerous of them all – lawn mowing. Being wind and impact resistant, even the toughest and most stubborn of grass will be able to penetrate them and get into your eyes. This will allow you to focus on completing your wife’s orders in a timely and hopefully nag-free fashion.

Joking aside, the Bobster Bugeye Goggles are fairly basic in design and will not win any awards for style, but they perform very well and are actually really comfortable to wear. They offer 100% UV protection, come with a choice of three different colored lenses, are well ventilated, and are adjustable enough to fit heads of all sizes.

Another that we consider being among the best motorcycle goggles is that of the Big Ben Goggles from Global Vision Eyewear. These are priced a little more than most on our list but we and many other of their customers have nothing but good things to say about them and believe that they are well worth the few extra dollars.

Sporting a flexible frame that allows it to conform to your head shape seamlessly and UV lenses that are scratch and fog proof, these goggles will provide you with high levels of performance and comfort.  Though a little small in size, they do not look too bad either and can even fit many sizes of glasses underneath them too.

One thing that you will instantly notice as you remove these goggles from their packaging is that the overall build quality is very impressive. They are extremely durable but flexible at the same time and you can just tell that these are going to last a good number of years.

Furthermore, despite being quite small in size compared to other goggles, these will still allow you to wear over the top of prescription glasses.

BUYING GUIDE & FAQ’S

What are the Main Benefits of Motorcycle Goggles?

Aside from allowing us to pretend we are Ricky Carmichael for a few minutes? Seriously though, motorcycle aviator goggles are designed for one reason and one reason only, our safety when riding.

In fact, as many of you will already know or at least, should do, is that it’s actually illegal in many states to drive on the road without a windshield or safety goggles. This means if you’re going to wear an open helmet or off-road helmet, goggles are a must if you want to keep on the right side of the law. Even the dirt bikers among you are required by law to wear safety goggles, no matter what random trail you decide to use. That said, who really wants to go without them with all that road debris flying around?

Goggles are there to help improve our visibility and prevent bugs, flying debris, mud, rain, snow, and whatever else might be in the air from getting into our eyes that could potentially cause us to have an accident. As you can imagine, trying to fish something out of your eyes while you’re riding is never going to be something that is easy to do. Furthermore, riding one-handed, with poor visibility, and using the other hand to try and remove whatever it is will on many occasions lead to you meeting the ground more forcefully than you would previously have liked.

So if you’re the kind of guy that does not like pain (who does?) we would certainly recommend that you look into buying a set of motorcycle goggles that will help to prevent this kind of accident from happening.

What are the Main Safety Considerations When Buying Motorcycle Goggles?

In case you hadn’t noticed, most motorcycles do not come with a windscreen and therefore unless you are wearing riding goggles or a helmet with a visor, there is nothing to protect your eyes when riding. Not only do you have to consider the sort of things getting in your eyes that we mentioned under the last question, but sunlight, fog, and glare can cause visibility issues as well.

When you next buy a pair of motorcycle goggles on Amazon or down your local bike store, there are a ton of safety considerations that you will have to think about. Are they suitable for the road or for dirt biking? Do they have UV protection? Are they designed for use at night? Can you wear glasses underneath them? Are they comfortable even after wearing them for a few hours?

You need to think about when and why you will be using them before you can narrow down your search. If you are a hardened dirt biker you might prefer goggles with scratch resistant and shatterproof lenses and tough frames that can withstand heavy impacts. On the flip side, if you primarily bike on the road during the day, you are going to want curved lenses for increased peripheral vision, lenses with UV protection, anti-fog coating, and of course, a pair that is going to be comfortable to wear.

Ask yourself exactly what you want from your motorcycle goggles to see if you can find a pair that provides you everything that you need. You might even need a few pairs to cover all instances just like many other riders do. Some will have a specific pair they will use at night, another for when they are on the roads during the day, and a further pair for when they are going off-road.

What are the Different Types of Motorcycle Goggles?

You would be excused for thinking that motorcycle goggles are all the same in that they are designed to give you protection when riding your motorcycle. However, how you plan on using your motorcycle will probably determine the type of goggles that you want to use. Generally, you are either going to be using your bike on the roads as a mode of transport or off-road as a hobby or for sport.

For that reason, you will find that there are goggles that have been designed for each purpose. Of course, you could use any pair of goggles for either but those that are specifically designed for a particular purpose will be the better option.

Off-Road GogglesWhether you like to go motorbike trailing off-road or take part in motocross races, you are going to want to find some goggles that have been designed with off-roading specifically in mind. As you can imagine, you are going to experience a lot of mud and dirt and you are going to be having far more accidents/crashes than you would if on the road. For that reason, your goggles should be strong, offer up good visibility, and will protect your eyes from foreign objects.

Street GogglesNow on the other hand, if you are looking for goggles for your road motorcycle, you will have a few other considerations to make. Sure, you will want that same strength, visibility, and protection that you would from off-road goggles but you will also want to consider other aspects too. You will need to consider the lenses a little more as certain tints will work better in low light conditions while others are better during the day. Other considerations will include how ventilated they are as poor ventilation can lead to fogging, how comfortable they are, and whether or not you can wear them over the top of your prescription glasses.

Whatever you are going to be using your motorcycle for, as long as you understand what you are going to need to consider for your goggles, you will have a better chance of finding your ideal pair.

What are the Major Mistakes People Make When Buying Motorcycle Goggles?

Buying a pair of motorcycle goggles is not simply a case of picking a pair that you like the look of or because of the design matches that of your bike and other riding gear. There are so many more considerations that are far more important.

While we all want to look as cool as possible as we rev up our engine, the aesthetics of motorcycle riding goggles should be a bonus rather than the main consideration when buying. In much the same way as all of your motorcycle gear whether leathers, helmet, and gloves, safety should always be the number one priority. Unfortunately, as men, we often overlook or sacrifice this aspect a little in order to feed our ego.

Another common mistake is to assume that all motorcycle goggles are the same and are designed for the same purpose. As we spoke about before, there are a number of different types of goggles that have been designed for different riding environments. Sure, a pair of street goggles will just about do a job if you are going off-road but if they have clear lenses designed to be used in low-lit conditions – this is not always ideal.

So no matter how macho you feel, and let’s face it, riding is pretty cool, we should always make sure we’ve put in plenty of research before handing over our hard-earned cash for our latest pair of motorcycle goggles.

So, with the more common questions often asked about motorcycles goggles out of the way, it is time to crack on with our very own recommendations. We have listed 14-pairs of goggles here and we’re super-confident that you are going to love at least one of them. Okay, ready to get going? Let’s do it!

Looking Back

Now if you cannot find the ideal pair of motorcycle goggles from that lot you might want to get yourself a car instead. We can guarantee that you’re going to struggle to find many better goggles for your money than those that we have listed above. We have given you a broad mix in terms of price too, so whether you are a spoiled brat spending your father’s millions or a penniless student trying to pay your way through college, you should be able to find something to fit your budget (and massive head).

Just remember that some will be more suited for different purposes so there really is little point buying some professional motocross goggles if you are not going to be doing anything other than taking your grandmother to Walmart once a week. On the flip side, some cheap goggles are not going to cut it the next time you go face first into a tree when off-roading.

Seriously though, no matter what you plan to wear your goggles for, we definitely recommend taking another good look through the list before whittling down your favorites. Before long you will find the pair that will give you everything that you need from a good pair of motorcycle goggles.

 

Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 10

If you’ve been collecting luxury watches, the moment a model features a tourbillon, the price soars through the roof. The micro-engineering and craftsmanship that goes into one the creation of these components are astounding. For those of you who want superior timekeeping accuracy, then these bad boys are the answer. Designed and created by Abraham-Louis Breguet back in 1908, its purpose is to counteract the effects of gravity on the balance wheel.

If just one of these can influence the cost significantly, imagine what four would do. This is flaunted by the Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 10. A timepiece sporting four tourbillons on each corner of the dial. The brand is reportedly celebrating a decade of high-end horology and it is doing so with these limited edition pieces.

Connoisseurs can choose from an 18k white gold and 18k rose gold version with only 10 examples each. If that’s enough, then what you could be looking for is the ultra-exclusive Winstonium variant. This particular model which rocks a platinum alloy case and components will only have one unit available. All of these come with black alligator leather straps and platinum 950 thread stitching, except for the rose gold, which features rose gold stitching and copper accents.

The Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 10 runs on an HW4702 caliber manual movement. Each of the 12-hour markers sits on a skeletonized sapphire dial with everything under a sapphire glass inside a rectangular case. This outstanding collection of luxury watches showcase a high level of affluence and what is possible when the price is not an issue.

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail

Nike is bringing back its Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail to its rightful place — the backcountry, the outdoors, or wherever it’s perfect to hike through. Arriving for the first since debuting in the 2000s, Nike’s Pegasus 36 Trail introduces some of the original features that made it the choice travel footwear. With hiking-specific modifications thrown in, of course.

For the mesh uppers, Nike added more breathability. The material here can endure any harsh conditions, complete with durable armaments robust enough to survive tough abrasions. But at the end of the day, they’re still the beloved shape, fit and feel of the road runner.

The Zoom Air Elements hide in the forefoot cushion as well as the heel. Enlarged lugs maintain a high level of traction, which you’ll be thankful for when hiking while raining. That’s never a good idea, of course. But fret not about puddles and downpours, as these kicks will make sure you’re always moving and squarely on the ground.

Design is minimalistic, the only highlight being the synthetics in hi-vis Volt. There’s a much deeper green, but only in hints and splashes. A touch of black snakes across the lining, eyestay, and signature Swoosh. It won’t win any awards on aesthetics, but it sure as hell will on design and craft-making.

This pair is available now if you’re in Europe and a member of NikePlus. As for the rest, expect this to go on shelves beginning June 13. Check out below for more photos of the Pegasus 36 Trail, and hit the link for more information while you’re at it.

Casio G-SHOCK Gravitymaster Limited Edition

Casio has been the brand of choice for users who want a tough timekeeper that can take a lot of abuse. The G-SHOCK series features a healthy mix of configurations that will suit the tastes of consumers. You have analog, digital, and hybrid options alongside newer models that have smart functions via Bluetooth connectivity. The latter are ideal alternatives for users who are still on the fence about migrating to a smartwatch. Once in a while, the brand releases a limited edition model that just stands out from the rest, like the Casio G-SHOCK Gravitymaster.

A common feature among regular G-SHOCK watches are the huge bumpers that surround the bezel. These absorb most of the accidental impacts but might turn off potential buyers. Hence, to make the Gravitymaster look like a traditional wristwatch without sacrificing protection, clever workarounds are in place. To make the case virtually-indestructible, Casio is using a mix of carbon fiber and a special resin for a lightweight 50 mm case. The strap, on the other hand, is carbon fiber.

The Casio G-SHOCK Gravitymaster also comes with some premium elements. Most of its metal components are using titanium alloy making them rust-resistant and durable. The dial along with the sub-dials sit under a sapphire crystal with a non-reflective coating. Additionally, the screw-lock crown keeps everything waterproof up to 200 meters. Never worry about batteries because this watch draws power from sunlight. Finally, as long as it’s connected to your smartphone, time zones are automatically updated for convenience with a function for with home city time swapping.

Parley X Adidas Alphaedge 4D

If you’re thinking that the eco-friendly movement is just for carmakers, then you’re clearly missing out. Widen your search parameters a little bit and you’ll see that there’s more to it than emission-free rides. Doing everything we can to save the environment for future generations has our full support. That’s why we are featuring items that show our readers that sustainability is doable and can be cool at the same time. How, you ask? Well, take a look at the upcoming Parley X Adidas Alphaedge 4D and you’ll understand what we mean.

The German sportswear company is embracing new and futuristic manufacturing processes to create unique kicks. Earlier this month, Adidas unveiled the Futurecraft Loop, a high-performance footwear designed for running and made from fully recyclable materials. Every part of this shoe uses TPU that goes through special processes to make it soft, hard, and even flexible. On the other hand, the collaboration with Parley for the Oceans applies a different approach. Save for the ADIDAS 4D midsole, the upper is crafted from collected marine plastic debris.

Adidas is calling the material Ocean Plastic and credits Alexander Taylor for its application. Other than the sustainable upper, the Parley X Adidas Alphaedge 4D is all about the one-of-a-kind midsole. The company is 3D-printing these using Carbon Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology. The process involves digital light projection, programmable liquid resins, and oxygen-permeable optics. You end up with a durable and flexible latticework that offers superior cushioning and stability for casual and athletic usage. We’re hoping that its success will lead to more colorways other than the Aero Green it comes with.

Urban Jewelry also throws their hat in the ring with this phenomenal bracelet for men. If you’re heading on a beach vacation in the near future this bracelet will certainly look right in place. The rustic charm of this bracelet is made with authentic leather designed to last a long time.

We have to give kudos to brands who listen to their customers – and Urban Jewelry has done just that. They received a number of disgruntled reviews because this bracelet wasn’t secure enough and kept falling off buyers’ wrists. So, they redesigned the clasp section of the bracelet and now offer an incredibly secure bracelet that is as functional as it is appealing. The only question left to ask is will you get this in brown, dark brown, or both?

Earlier we showed you a bracelet for men that was perfect for our Catholic following. That one was predominantly made from leather but this religious men’s bracelet is a titanium product. It’s a slightly more expensive bracelet because it’s made up of Swarovski BeCharmed jewelry.

Specifically, it includes a mixture of small and slightly larger balls of pure terahertz and pure titanium, respectively. These are supposed to depict a type of Rosary beads and the clasp somewhat resembles a cross. All of the beads are attached together using an extremely strong and reliable crystal bead string.

Ressence Type 1 ZZ Luxury Watch

Name a more iconic collaboration than Ressence teaming up with Chronopassion. Well, you probably can. But still, the point stands. These two iconoclasts hitched to bring us the Ressence Type 1 ZZ. In an all-black finish with a matte black DLC treatment on the case, no less.

The watch looks gorgeous and sleek as heck; something a neo-noir steampunk James Bond would wear. One of the key highlights is the matte dark grey PVD treatment on the nine components that constitute the watch’s dial.

For those of you Type 1 ZZ newcomers, this watch has no crown. Instead, it has a winding and setting mechanism on the caseback. Once set, the Ressence Orbital Convext System smoothly rotates inside. There are individual registers inside that indicate hour, minutes, seconds, and days of the week. It’s a pretty bizarre system, but that’s part of the whole package, really. Plus, it makes the luxury watch more unique and appealing than most options out there with conventional crown-based systems.

For those of you Type 1 ZZ connoisseurs might be inclined to think that this is a riff on Ressence’s first design. And you’re right, actually. The above watch borrows heavily from the original Type 1 Slim, which here is a delightful merit more than it’s a demerit. If you’re wondering about the name, it refers to the Flemish term for “black black” — “Zwart Zwart” — and for ZZ Top. That’s Chronopassion owner Laurent Picciotto favorite band.

Limited to just 20 examples, it’s worth noting. So act fast if you want this on your wrist. It’s available exclusively from Chronopassion. Hit the link below for more details.

Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer Tourbillon

In parallel to the number of car shows that are unveiling new and luxurious rides, watchmakers are also parading their wares. If you’re seeking some of the most high-end and exclusive timepieces, conventions are the best venues. Recently, the inaugural Time To Move event by the Swatch Group wrapped up its show. The show was highlight reel from brands including Breguet, Harry Winston, Omega, Blancpain, Jaquet Droz, and Glashütte Original. Here we have a stunning number from the latter, which is the Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer Tourbillon.

All eyes are on this timepiece due to its remarkable craftsmanship and impeccable accuracy. The marriage of top-tier features such as a minute detent, a flying tourbillon, and a zero reset mechanism allows for ultimate precision. Thanks to the latter, the second hand is always synchronized with the minute hand each time you pull the crown. A layer of sapphire crystal protects the front and back alongside the 5-bar water resistance.

The flying tourbillon sits just below the Galvanic Blue dial with the exposed components surrounding it. You can observe the intricate mechanical motion of its components and admire the elegant patterns throughout. Meanwhile, what gives this timepiece life is a calibre 58-05 manual movement, beating at 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour. Furthermore, it grants users a 70-hour power reserve. All of these complications lie within a 42 mm case crafted out of satin-polished platinum. The Dark blue Louisiana alligator leather strap also comes with a platinum fold fastener. Only 25 examples of the Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer Tourbillon will be available.

2005 Ford GT Merkury 4

Ford is currently playing coy about a proper GT successor. No surprise, then, that other tuners have taken it upon themselves to play around with the models that are available at hand. Which brings us to this wallop — a Ford GT Merkury 4. Developed in collaboration with Camilo Pardo, no less.

Infamous Ford GT tuner GT Guy worked with original GT designer Prado on this one, you read that right. The ride features a Mirrachrome abstract custom paint job. Topped off with a florescent orange center stripe and a satin black pinstripe. The car came with HRE center-bolt rims with 275/30ZR19 front Michelin tires and 345/30ZR20 ones on the rear.

As if the base’s 5.4-liter supercharged modular V8 engine wasn’t impressive enough, the folks threw in a second-generation Whipple supercharger and a GTG cold air intake kit. As a result, the engine’s output blazes toi a whopping 725 horsepower. At 19 pounds of boost on 91 octane fuel, that is.

In all, the Ford GT Merkury 4 is a breathtaking vintage homage. Especially since chief Pardo himself supervised the touches and finishes. Other upgrades include a GTG “Vintage” bumper delete kit, which relocates the exhaust between the tail lamp like an original Mark II. And a ceramic-coated Ford racing exhaust, a nice detail on top of an already-packed job. The HRE center lock rims, custom “Ford GT” billet fuel door, billet clamshell center, and side clamshell vents are cherries. You’ll find twin sill badges to commemorate the build.

Having won the “Best In Show” award at the 10th Annual Ford GT National Rally in Detroit, the Ford GT Merkury 4 is no doubt one of the most significant splurges you can treat yourself to this year.

Suunto 5 GPS Sports Watch

Among smartwatches, only a few brands are willing to take on the great outdoors. The Apple Watch Series 4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch rank might be more popular, but both are lacking durability. On the other hand, companies like Garmin, Casio, and Suunto offer durable wearables that are ready for adventure. For now, let’s focus on the new Suunto 5, GPS-ready smartwatch that will accompany you everywhere.

With a case measuring 46 mm, the Suunto 5 is noticeably smaller than the Suunto 9, which sports a 50 mm case. Buyers can choose from four colors: White, All Black, Graphite Copper, and Burgundy Copper. Personally, we found the Burgundy Copper colorway to be more attractive than the others.

The polished stainless steel bezel and the silicone rubber strap look stylish enough to match most of your wardrobe. The case is made of glass fiber-reinforced polycarbonate, while the display cover is mineral crystal. It’s safe to say that these combinations of materials should make for one sturdy smartwatch that weighs around 66 grams.

The Suunto 5 is being marketed as a GPS sports watch, so it should flexible enough to handle various activities. Moreover, the integrated optical heart rate sensor gives users an insight regarding their overall fitness. The smartwatch is water-resistant up to 50 meters allowing it to even track your swim. At the same time, the built-in GPS can track your location and guide you to where you need to go. Depending on the interval setting, this device can last anywhere from 20 to 40 hours. On the other hand, regular usage with mobile notifications will give you up to 7-day usage time

Everything You Need to Know About Polarized Sunglasses

When buying new sunglasses, people commonly ask the same question: Do I really need polarized lenses? As they should. After all, polarization is far from a small investment. For example, a classic pair of Wayfarers with polarized lenses ($203) lists over 30 percent more than the non-polarized version ($153). “The lenses look the same when you see them, but there are physical layers, not just coating layers, in these lenses that take a lot more time to make,” said Dave Barton, the founder of premium eyewear brand David Kind.

Polarized lenses have an immediate effect on vision, reducing glare off of flat surfaces. The quality of material and method of manufacturing greatly affects both the price point and the optics. “A polarized lens in a $10 pair of glasses is going to have some of the properties of a polarized lens in a $500 pair of glasses,” Barton said. “But, you’re getting 30 percent more effectiveness and quality, and maybe 50 to 80 percent more durability when you start going up.”

There are many manufacturers making medium and low-end polarized lenses, but the highest quality glass comes from just a few factories across the world, including Barberini in Italy and Nakanishi in Japan. “When you’re sourcing your lenses, it makes a difference to a point what you’re picking,” Barton said.

To better understand how polarized lenses work, the range of available options and who benefits the most from polarization, we talked to few independent eyewear experts.

The Experts
Dave Barton, David Kind: Before starting David Kind, Barton ran product, first at Spy Optic, and then at Oliver Peoples, spending much of his time traveling between factories in Italy, Japan and Germany. Barton’s tenure at Oliver Peoples started just after the brand was acquired by Oakley.

Aaron Behle, SALT.: Before starting SALT. in 2013, Behle worked as the International Brand Manager for Oakley from ’96 to ’99 and as the Vice President and International Brand Manager for Reef from 2001 to 2005. From 2006 to 2010 he was the COO of Dragon Alliance. For the following three years, he was the Vice President of Skullcandy.

Tom Daly and Max Vallot, District Vision: Daly and Vallot founded District Vision in 2015. Steeped in the fashion world — Vallot worked at Saint Laurent and Daly worked at Acne — they came up with the idea of a fashion-inspired, athlete-focused sunglass brand and spent two years testing and developing prototypes.

Q: Why are polarized lenses important?

Behle: We consume a world of reflected light that is constantly moving and in flux. Polarized lenses channel this reflected light, reducing its movement. This channeled light provides more visual clarity and definition. Polarized lenses also address eye fatigue and strain from reflected light. Eye fatigue is caused as your pupils chase reflected light, which causes constant expansion and contraction of the eye as it adjusts to the changing angle and intensity of the light. This eye fatigue is a direct trigger for headaches and migraines.

Barton: Polarized lenses are almost like mini Venetian blinds — there are microscopic blinds that are in the film in the lens. That cuts out the glare that’s coming into your eyes at that angle. It’s very effective at this.

Q: What makes them different than other lenses?

Daly and Vallot: Polarized lenses block reflected light so they offer a higher level of eye protection. People often forget sunglasses are a medical device. Unlike our skin, our eyes do not contain melanin. This means [that] each time we expose them to sunlight, they become more sensitive.

Behle:Polarized lenses have a polarized film that filters reflected light in a vertical plane (the reflected light is predominately vibrating in a horizontal plane). In channeling that light, polarized lenses remove the majority of electromagnetic vibration, also known as glare.

Barton: There are many different levels and many different price points. The basic way that it works is the same — it requires a film. There are different quality levels of film where some are more effective than others, but the big difference comes in how the lens is made with that film and how clear the lens is.

Q: How do factories make polarized lenses?
Barton: The cheapest way to produce it is to use an acrylic-based material or acetate material, and then laminate the polarized film between these thin sheets of acrylic or acetate. Then they use heat to form it into the spherical shape of a lens and then they cut the lens. Those are the cheapest, but they also have the most distortion of the lens. You can see these hot spots around the edge of the lens that cause distortion and reduce the polarize effectiveness. And they scratch really easily too.

The next level is polycarbonate injection molded [lenses]. You see a lot of this being used. It’s what Oakley uses primarily, and it’s what most of the other sports brands use. It’s an impact-resistant material, and it’s more scratch resistant than the [laminated lenses]. The film is put into a mold and they inject the polycarbonate material around it. That makes for a good strong lense, but it’s not a clear lens to look through. It can cause distortion in the polarized film.

Next, you start getting into CR39, where you have two wafers and you glue the polarized film in between the two wafers of the lens. Done with a high quality, this can be a much clearer lens than the polycarbonate one, but it’s not impact-resistant.

Then you have glass, which is primarily what we use at David Kind. It’s done in the same construction method as the CR39, but it’s going to be the clearest, most scratch-resistant material. It seems to affect the polarization film the least. If it’s manufactured in a high-quality facility, it doesn’t distort the polarized film, so you have nice polarized effectiveness all around the periphery of the lens.

There’s also cast NTX, which is kind of like a Trivex material. Instead of injection molded under pressure, it’s cast into a mold around the polarized film. That results in an impact resistant, relatively distortion-free lens material. So I would say, for sport, that is the best. And for optical clarity and scratch resistance, glass is the best.

Q: Are there any other differences in low quality polarized lenses and high quality polarized lenses?
Behle: Quality in a polarized lens starts with the quality of the lens material. The highest quality lenses are optical-grade and they’re predominately made out of CR39 or mineral glass. The second component is the quality of the polarized film and how the film is adhered to the lens and aligned. Quality polarized lenses use a higher quality polarized film, sandwiched between the two lenses so that the film is perfectly aligned in the worn position. They also use a backside anti-reflective coating on the inside of the lens that absorbs light that enters from the back of the lens and prevents this light from reflecting back into your eye. Further, high-quality lenses will use hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings that repel water and oils, to ensure that your lens is clean and clear.

Q: Can you get a good polarized lens at an entry-level price?
Barton: One of the best values out there is a glass polarized Ray-Ban aviator. That’s a great quality lens and they’ve been doing it for years. As you move up-market, you start getting into better frames, and you start getting things for the lens like anti-reflective coating, which make a huge difference. You can get into photochromics, you can get into mirror coatings — all of that increase the price as well. When you go down-market, you start going into the polycarbonate materials. The cheapest of the cheap are the gas station polarized ones are the acrylic acetate ones that won’t last.

Q: What are other alternatives? And who are they appropriate for?

Daly and Vallot: There are different levels of protection available. Our mountain athletes also request IR (infrared rays) protection due to a closer proximity to the sun. IR causes our eyes to get warmer and inflamed so this additional protection is paramount. Mirrored lenses have also gained a certain notoriety in the sports industry but this is more cosmetic than anything else in our opinion.

Q: Who should have polarized lenses in their glasses?

Daly and Vallot: Anyone that wants a heightened level of eye protection ultimately but in particular those who do water sports. The term has certainly been over-marketed in recent years and the quality of polarization varies greatly. A high-quality lens will block reflective light but still allow clear screen (Garmin / iPhone) visibility which is increasingly important to our athletes today.

Behle: Everyone. It is absurd to be wearing a sunglass, especially a premium sunglass, that does not have a polarized lens. Beyond UV protection and reducing the amount of light that penetrates the lens, which virtually all sunglasses have, the real point of having a sunglass is being able to see clearly and without eye strain in the constant barrage of reflected light. Most people equate polarized lenses with outdoor activities on the water, but they are conducive to virtually all settings. You are getting almost as much reflected light from urban surfaces, e.g. auto windows and concrete, as you are on the water. The mirror effect and movement of water, of course, amplifies this glare.

Barton: My experience is it’s definitely not for everyone; it’s for most people, but it’s not for everyone. Some people feel a little discombobulated because they’re disoriented by the effects that polarized can have, They’re not used to it. For example, car window screens that have window tint, you start seeing these purple blotches. It can change how you perceive the road surface. If you’re a skier and you want to see the reflection of ice on a sunny day, you don’t want polarized. If you’re a pilot, many of the windscreens are polarized themselves, and when you combine a polarized windscreen and polarized glasses, it can black out the screen, so they don’t wear polarized. It’s definitely not for everyone, but for most people, you’re going to have a better visual experience, especially when you’re in bright conditions, near water or outdoors.
