Welcome to Black Friday, welcome to our second Great November Giveaway. Today’s docket: The V-Moda VIBE II Headphone/Headset ($120), and Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset ($80).
We always enjoy a chance to share the wealth of Gear Patrol goodies, which means that we are enjoying this moment quite thoroughly. We’re ready to call out our latest giveaway winner (if only we had Rod Roddy to do the honors), Glen P.
Because Knowing (How to Win) is Half the Battle
Anyone whose been following Gear Patrol for sometime should know by now that we’re all about helping our fellow man. So when one of our long time readers asked for our help in raising money for the The Leukemia Society, it was a no brainer.
Well, friends, we’ve finally succumbed to the pressure and the guilt (read: Ben and myself threatening Eric to succumb to social media). To date, we’ve relied primarily on word of mouth which continues to part of our mantra, but we’re looking to spread the GP word in a bigger way.
We’re amidst some sprucing-up here at Gear Patrol. If you notice the site acting a little funky or wonky, just hit CTRL+F5 (Shift+Command+R on Macs) and things should be copacetic.
It’s a rainy day here in New York today, perhaps fitting of the date: 9/11. The clouds are unleashing a veritable torrent and one can’t help but think of why.
The sixth month of 2009 proved to be a rainy one in New York, but that hardly put a damper on progress here at Gear Patrol; June turned out to be our best month, ever. Normally, I’d be writing the crew now, thanking them for their efforts, but it’s not only them I have to thank, but you – the Gear Patrol community.
From Brian Huang: It’s my pleasure to introduce Trent Pitts. One of our newest Gear Patrol Contributors, he hails from a state with great outdoor activities and fantastic BBQ (although my TN roots might dispute that one).
We announce the lucky few chosen to rub elbows with us (and some other VIPs) at the upcoming John Allan’s Chicago Launch Party.
Just a reminder that our John Allan’s Chicago Club Grand Opening Party Invite Raffle ends midnight tonight. We’ll post our winners tomorrow (Tuesday, May 12).
A couple of weeks ago, Gear Patrol contributor Jon Gaffney tested a pair of Mountain Khaki Teton Twill and as with all the curated gear we endorse here on Gear Patrol, they were to his satisfaction. During his review, Jon also worked with Mountain Khaki’s to offer Gear Patrol readers a chance to win a pair of Teton Twill’s by simply sharing a comment that justified needing a pair.
WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations to Jonathan, the new owner of a Bosca Black Nappa Leather Card Case.

At Gear Patrol, we work hard to dig through all the useless drivel out there available to men. By my estimation, only a small percentage of what’s sent to us is actually spoken about on GP.
It goes without saying that this week marks a momentous occasion for this country. Not to compare, but this week also marks a watershed for Gear Patrol.
This is where Jason hangs out when looking for Gear Patrol writing inspiration. I’ve always been a bit of an adventure fiend, a Midwestern boy seduced by the exoticism of adventure magazines and Hemingway novels.
Prepare Ye For All Out Awesomeness Hot. Not Gear Girl hot, but hot nonetheless.
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, we’re here to remind you that the Presidential election is now one week away. In celebration, we’ve gathered some links for you to check out.
