A long-lasting LED light for the garage, popover shirts for all the warm months, a way to light your running path with every step and more.

Technical-Blazer-Gear-Patrol-Lead-Full

Good morning and happy Monday. It’s days like this — the worst day of the week — when we like to think about people who have it worse. Like the guys who shovel horse droppings at parades, or the victims in those prank videos on YouTube. Just be glad you can start your day with a fresh round of gear. A light that’ll illuminate your garage long after you’re gone, shirts that’ll keep you feeling light throughout all the warm months, a way to light your running path with every step and much more.

Lowell Technical Blazer by EFM

How do men who commute via bike always arrive comfortable, crisp and not dead? The answer is a commuter-friendly blazer. EFM’s (Engineered For Motion) version is knit so it wears like a sweater, but done finely enough that it looks dressy like a blazer should. Features like reflective details under the collar and interior pockets made to hold phones, eyeglasses and more make this a no-brainer for the exercise-addicted.

All Good Deodorants

Your armpits are pretty important, even though you barely give them any notice… until, well, you notice them, if you get the drift. Your underarms are sensitive too, and, with the wrong deodorant, can destroy all shirts they touch. These chemical-free sticks just debuted and will be available soon; they fight odor with enzymes and keep you dry with arrowroot. They’re promising to actually work, unlike some other natural sticks, so keep your eyes open.
