P.F. Flyers Field Spec Grounder

Founded in 1937 by B.F. Goodrich (yes, the tire company), P.F. Flyers has been an iconic piece of Americana for generations. And while the brand’s most classic offerings, like the sneakers featured in The Sandlot, get all the glory, the brand has plenty of other spectacular offerings. Take the brand’s Field Spec Grounder, for instance, which takes the brand’s military-inspired sneaker and streamlines it even further. Its reinforced suede upper pairs beautifully with a deep-treaded wraparound gum sole, offering gritty mid-century tactical vibes.

Sencut Stratex

If you think Civivi makes great-looking affordable knives, check out its even-more wallet-friendly brother under the We Knife umbrella, Sencut. Available in three variants, the Stratex is just its latest compelling and capable $50 release, which like many others leans on budget materials but does not sacrifice aesthetics. Here you get a 3.17-inch drop-point blade made of 9Cr18MoV steel, deploying out of a Guibourtia wood handle via the rear flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs. A caged ceramic ball bearing ensures smooth action while a liner lock holds that blade steady when it’s time to work.

Hyundai IONIQ 9 Off-Road Concept

Family SUVs aren’t typically the kind of vehicles that first come to mine when thinking of overlanding. But Hyundai wants to change that. The Korean automaker just revealed its IONIQ 9-based Off-Road Concept. The company essentially took its latest all-electric 422-horsepower three-row midsizer and teamed up with Jeremiah Burton and Zach Jobe of BigTime, who then threw a whole bunch of rad all-terrain-centric modifications to it, all to showcase the platform’s potential.

Stellar Equipment M Technolight Hood

This featherlight insulated jacket is designed to eliminate the most annoying aspect of performance outerwear: the crinkly noise jackets emit every time you move. Thanks to 100-percent recycled 20-denier nylon ripstop fabric, this synthetic jacket is whisper-quiet, and thanks to Primaloft Gold recycled synthetic insulation, the M Technolight Hood brings reliable warmth to every adventure. Wear it as a standalone or layered under a shell, and when things get warm, pack this jacket into its own pocket for easy packing or to use as a squishy pillow.

Swatch x Omega Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold Beaver Moon

Another month, another MoonSwatch. Swatch continues to tweak its souped-up and Snoopy’d-out MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold with a new limited-edition version each month, where the only thing changed is the theme of the Moonshine Gold moon in the moonphase display. Following up the Sturgeon, Corn and Hunter Moon models, we now have perhaps the funnest yet: the Beaver Moon, featuring a moon that looks like a beaver-chewed tree trunk. Like the other watches in the series, it’s only available for a limited time at brick-and-mortar Swatch stores, this time from November 5 – 20.
