Can Stanley’s Innovative New Water Bottle Steal the Spotlight from Owala?

Not that long ago, the Stanley Quencher water bottle was all the rage. Then, Owala came along and stole the spotlight. Now, it looks like Stanley is trying to get back in the internet’s good graces with the Wellspring Bottle. Combining its own brand’s legendary pedigree with modern innovations and conveniences, it boasts a stainless steel double-wall vacuum-insulated body, leak-resistant push-button lid, dishwasher-safe construction and a form that fits most car cupholders.

Mattel just revealed one of its most rad Hot Wheels Collectors in the form of an RLC Exclusive 1981 Toyota SR5 AWD. Spec’d out to 1/64 scale, the Red Line Club special epitomizes what is arguably peak Toyota, especially with its eye-catching Spectraflame Ice Blue exterior and racing stripe livery. It’s not available yet, but one can preorder this fine desk ornament, complete with a lovely acrylic display case.

Peak Design has (finally) released a minimalist new camera strap to combat the traditional bulkiness found in most camera setups. The Form Leather Strap is crafted from premium ECCO full-grain leather with low-profile, machined aluminum hardware and a custom sealed finish along the strap’s underside, which provides the ideal mix of glide and grip. The Form Leather Strap is wearable as a cross-body, neck or shoulder strap, and is offered in fixed-length small, medium and large sizes. Available colorways include “Black,” “Tan” and “Amber.”

Clearaudio is a German hi-fi manufacturer that specializes in high-end audiophile turntables — they range from a few grand to a lot more (its flagship Reference Jubilee costs $30,000).

According to the brand, “each tool has been carefully designed to meet Clearaudio’s exacting engineering standards, helping enthusiasts achieve and maintain the highest possible sound quality from their analogue systems.”

Bell & Ross takes the concept of “night vision” to the extreme with this mega-lumed version of its high-end BR-X3 pilot’s watch. Not only is virtually everything on the dial — including the power reserve indicator — coated with Super-LumiNova X2, the Swiss lume-maker’s brightest-glowing formula, but even the case’s forged carbon shell and rubber elements are impregnated with an overdose of green-emission lume. Inside the watch is B&R’s high-performing manufacture calibre, the BR-CAL.323, which is COSC-certified and has a power reserve of 70 hours.

Ridge Merino’s new Cloudripper Grid Fleece collection boasts its warmest technical midlayers yet, including a half zip pullover and crew pullover, plus a balaclava. The most fully featured of all is this jacket, made mainly of a cozy Merino wool grid fleece fabric with lighter-weight fleece in the lower back and hood for easier tucking in and sneaking under a helmet, respectively. Perfect for a variety of cold-weather activities, including backcountry touring, the garment also offers a low-profile bonded and zippered chest pocket, two zippered hand warmer pockets, underarm gussets and thumb holes.
