DaVinciDaVinci EQ Jacuzzi Collection
If you traveled to the future and brought back a bubbler pipe with you, there’s a pretty solid chance it wouldn’t look (or function) too much differently from DaVinci’s high-end EQ Jacuzzi. This is a top-of-the-line electronic cannabis pipe made with the brand’s most high-end EQ components, an easy-to-use touchscreen control, a purifying quartz crucible and it delivers, of course, incredibly cool refreshing vapor with every hit. Best of all: you don’t need an app to use it.
JBLJBL Live 780NC
The JBL Live 780NC is a pair of wireless over-ear headphones with active noise-cancellation. (They are slightly higher-end than the company’s wireless on-ear headphones, the Live 680NC.) They feature 40mm dynamic drivers, support spatial audio, and, as their name suggests, are designed to deliver a vibrant sound similar to a “live” concert. Their other headline feature is an incredible 80-hour battery life when ANC is off. Available in five different finishes.
OrnotOrnot Alpha Sweater
Don’t be fooled by the casual vibes, as this sweater’s key ingredient, Polartec Alpha Direct, is a technical insulation game changer originally developed for the U.S. Special Forces. Lofted fibers rest on a breathable mesh core, enabling you to stay warm yet dump heat quickly, perfect for stop-and-go activities such as cycling. The 100 percent recycled ultralight poly material also happens to be 50 percent lighter and more compressible than traditional fleece, making it easier to stash in a pack on a “variable conditions” kind of day.
The North FaceThe North Face Fastpack Waterproof Shoes
Take on wet springtime hikes, backpacking trips and trail runs with the latest edition of the Fastpack. The waterproof trail shoes feature TNF’s grippiest outsoles, which offer enhanced durability and traction in wet conditions. The brand’s proprietary Dream midsole foam maintains a cushioned underfoot feel and the abrasion-resistant ripstop upper with seamless TPU reinforcements adds support and lightweight durability. The waterproof Dryvent membrane keeps moisture out and breathability high. The new shoe is available in a selection of reinvigorated color options, including the Desert Stone/Lemon Mist pick featured here.
Octobre EditionsNovesta x Octobre Editions Star Master
French clothing brand Octobre Editions teamed up with the esteemed Slovakian sneaker brand Novesta to create a light and natural version of the latter’s signature Star Master sneaker. The upper is linen, making the sneaker light and breathable, and the distinct midsole with high foxing and a small toe cap is made from natural rubber. It is available in white, burnt orange, beige and denim.
