Saddleback leather wallet

Saddleback is probably the most well-recommended wallet out there. That is because these are some seriously nice leather products that are backed by a ridiculous 100 year warranty. This Saddleback leather wallet (medium bifold) features full grain leather, six card slots, a money pouch and a handy RFID shield to keep ...

Fenix PD35 flashlight

Have you ever heard of Fenix? The Fenix PD35 flashlight is the follow-up to one of the best consumer flashlights available. The PD35 uses an ultra bright 1000 lumen Cree LED which can shine for up to 656 feet. This is actually pretty ridiculous if you see what 1000 lumens looks like in real life. The "tactical" mode ...

Osprey Transporter duffel bag

It's not secret that I love Osprey bags. They are super well designed with pockets where they should be and thoughtful features throughout. Take the Osprey Transporter duffel bag for instance. The model I have can actually fold down into a small pocket for when you are traveling and don't need the duffel. I travel a ...

Nalgene water bottle

Everyone needs to drink more water. Scratch that, everyone needs to drink more water that doesn't slowly kill you by leaching endocrine disruptors into your body... Sorry for the Debbie Downer comment. In all seriousness, get yourself a Nalgene water bottle that is free of hormone ravaging BPA (Bisphenol A) but ...

Aeropress coffee maker

You haven't had your best cup of home brewed coffee unless you've used an Aeropress coffee maker. These are the cream of the crop for coffee presses, and they don't break the bank. Forget those non-environmentally friendly pod brewers that start with a K, all you need is a few minutes to boil some water and some ...

Senz umbrella

Mary Poppins used to fly around on her umbrella. If I tried that with my umbrella I think I would be featured in the Darwin Awards next book. But if you want the next best thing, an umbrella that refuses to buckles in the wind, then look no further than a Senz umbrella. Dubbed as the world's strongest folding ...
