Other features include a 7W Harman Kardon speaker with Dolby Audio support and built-in Google TV. Lastly, the projector weighs just 3.4 pounds, making it easier to carry it from room-to-room around your home.

KickstarterTiMate Verolite
Most EDC load-outs don’t support carrying a full tool kit around with you on the daily, but most pockets don’t have TiMate’s functional Verolite pen in them … yet. The new multi-functional writing implement is designed with multiple modules, magnetically linked together, to create one waterproof, adaptable package designed for illuminating and correcting most everyday obstacles. The integrated tools include a three-mode, removable flashlight, dual-ended marking module, a waterproof storage compartment for three 4-mm bits and pry bar, all in a lightweight 2.1 ounce titanium package. The Verolite comes in two finishes: Titanium Grey and Tactical Black. This isn’t TiMate’s first rodeo on Kickstarter … the Verolite is preceded by the BoltLite and the CoreLite, and is 15 percent lighter, has stronger magnets and a much longer battery life.
Standard & StrangeFreenote High Low Jacket in 14oz Broken Twill Denim
The High Low Jacket, a modern interpretation of turn-of-the-century American workwear, was one of Freenote’s first products and remains its flagship design. This new iteration is built from pure cotton 14-ounce broken-twill denim, custom-produced by Japan’s Yoshiwa Mills. This particular knit produces a small zig-zag texture that becomes visible as the denim patinas. It is cut and sewn in California, using custom copper rivets and signed buttons.
The James BrandThe James Brand The Redstone (Sherbet + Pink Haze)
One of The James Brand’s lightest and most affordable outdoor knives gets an unlikely yet delicious-looking handle makeover while retaining its best performance features. At just 1.8 ounces, it offers a super-secure grip via the unique “island design” concept, a reliable one-handed TJB Slide-Lock and thumb slot combo and a versatile half-serrated blade made of corrosion-resistant, edge-retaining Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. Note: The Mehlville EDC carabiner ($59) gets a matching color treatment.
