It’s been around since the gold rush days, and who wouldn’t want to tipple a glass of affordable Americana born of the days when men weren’t expected to shower, but rather to play in the mountains for weeks on end?

    BAGGU Wetsuit Bag There are few things as indispensable as a good dry bag: you could be carrying around miniature teddy bear lollipops and lavender foot cream and it’d still look like you were packed for a Special Ops mission. But if you’re really putting a bag like this to use you’ll do what Baggu suggests: step in the thing after a day of surfing, strip your wetsuit off, zip it all up and haul it elsewhere to be hosed off and dried (which is exactly how you can tend to this bag should it get a little rank).

    K Array Anakonda KAN200 Speaker The Anakonda is a much friendlier take on the giant reptilian constrictor made infamous by the eponymous (well, not with a “k” part) box office smash of ’97.

    Sony VAIO Pro 13 Ultrabook Sony’s answer to the MacBook Air is loud and clear: a high-powered Intel processor and an 512-gig SSD have been slipped inside an oh-so slim carbon fiber shell, and the 13.3-inch monitor is a full HD touchscreen that’s viewable from most any angle. The whole package weighs in at 2.34 pounds, and unlike the Cupertino crusader, this trim machine comes in black.
