A Leading Titanium EDC Innovator Takes Its Talents to Another Everyday Product Category

From multi-tools to space pens to oven trays, the mad scientists at Titaner are on a mission to prove everything’s better with (meticulously engineered) titanium — including this potentially game-changing kitchen essential. Why five layers? The “super-burned” surface is highly corrosion resistant and surprisingly nonstick. The next three are a multilayer composite structure of pure titanium, aluminum and stainless steel that addresses the biggest issue when cooking with titanium — hot spots — by delivering heat rapidly and evenly to every part of the pan. Lastly the outside is a ceramic coating added through nano-particle thermal spraying technology that imparts not only color but scratch-resistant durability. If you are intrigued, you are not alone. The project has already raised more than $142,000 on Kickstarter with 31 days to go.

Vulcain’s Skindiver Chronograph was a deep-cut legend when it was revived in 2023 with faithful coloring. The new Ice Blue color scheme is a vibrant refresh, featuring light blue sub-dials, a radial brushed steel dial and a black ceramic bezel insert. A matching light blue rubber strap with a steel folding clasp is available, as well as Vulcain’s Y-link Acier steel bracelet for an extra $290. It runs on an ETA caliber 7753 automatic movement with a 30-minute totalizer and a 42-hour power reserve. This is a limited edition run of 100 pieces.

Despite their association with the gorpcore crowd, Birkenstocks actually aren’t very good for outdoor adventure. Bedrock Sandals’ Mountain Clog, by contrast, are made for the trails. They boast a similar styling to the iconic sandal brand’s legendary Boston mule, but with more rugged details, like an adjustable top and back strap and Vibram outsole. The brand has also just introduced some new materials and colorways, like an all-black Nubuck and vegan suede.

Anker added several new chargers to its Nano line, but this is the standout. It’s a 35-watt wall adapter with foldable prongs and a built-in USB-C cable (2.3 feet long) so you don’t have to bring your own. According to the brand, it’s capable of charging the latest iPhones up to 50 percent in just over 20 minutes. It also has an additional USB-C port, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously.

Stay warmer and look cooler with Cotopaxi’s latest winter jacket. The Fuego Max builds upon its predecessor’s success with a few key updates: it’s even warmer, thanks to bigger, puffier baffles. The fabric is now 100-percent recycled, and is softer and more durable. The aesthetic also gets an update, with larger color blocking to complement the baffles. Like its OG counterpart, the Fuego Max features 800-fill RDS down, PFAS-free materials and recycled content in the shell and lining. 

Dirtbag Billionaire by New York Times journalist David Gelles sets itself apart from other Patagonia accounts by examining how Yvon Chouinard’s personal values shaped the company far beyond typical business narratives. Rather than focusing purely on commercial success, Gelles delves into Patagonia’s unprecedented, sometimes contradictory evolution under Chouinard—blending investigative reporting and analysis to reveal the ongoing tension between activism and corporate growth. The book highlights not just the company’s environmental initiatives and ethical choices, but also the challenges and dilemmas that defined its most pivotal moments.
