We raved about this running shirt when it debuted in 2018. “It’s a one-shirt quiver for folks without the time or suitcase space for post-run wardrobe changes,” our gear editor wrote. The Runpaca has the look and comfort of your favorite cotton top but wicks moisture and breathes like a merino or synthetic layer.
Upgrade that worn-out copy of Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide with this reference book, which gives you a peek inside one of the greatest cocktail bars in the country. It outlines more than 500 drinks you can make at home.
The vast majority of classic cocktails are stirred, not shaken. If you’re going to have only one mixing tool, eschew the shaker for something like this simple glass. The heavy base adds stability when you’re stirring, and a spout makes pouring and straining easy.
Every bar needs a jigger—it’s the quintessential measuring tool that helps you get the exact flavor profile you’re looking for in your cocktail. But Izola’s version is also an ice hammer, bottle opener, and corkscrew. Consider it a bartender’s multi-tool.
There’s the right tool for every job, and this knife is perfect for peeling and slicing citrus, cucumbers, herbs, or whatever you’re putting into your drink. It looks and feels great in action, thanks to its hardwood handle, brass details, and stainless steel blade. It even comes with a sharpening stone.
Whiskey Peaks makes a series of glasses with iconic mountain-scapes hand-blown into the bottom of the vessels, but there’s something mesmerizing about this version: the liquid glides over a topographic impression of the greatest ditch in the country.
The Nanoloft is as tough as it is cozy. That's because the blanket’s made with ripstop fabric and recycled NanoLoft filling that insulates just like down. Plus, it packs down into a stuff sack, so it's an inconspicuous companion.
The Flip 30 is smaller than your smartphone, but it has the juice to recharge your device up to three times. Plus, the USB is compatible with phones, cameras, and solar panels.
If you’re packing one pair of sunglasses for your trip, the Arise is a solid choice. It’s designed for a variety of play and is suitable whether you’re hitting the trail or heading to the river. We dig the anti-fog coating that keeps these glasses crystal clear, and the photochromic lenses that adjust to the light.
This jacket was one of our favorite pieces of streetwear in our 2020 Winter Buyer’s Guide. We love the Lightning’s toasty PrimaLoft Gold insulation and front snap closures. The synthetic fill isn’t as warm as traditional down, but it still traps heat when wet.
We love the Howler Brothers fall collection and the Kameron Hoody is one of our favorite pieces in the lineup. The cotton blend fleece has a mega-comfy, fuzzy interior, and a discreet zippered stash pocket in the lower back.
