Misfit Beddit Sleep System
Misfit’s new product uses the worlds’s thinnest sleep sensor to track sleep cycles and quality—and it doesn’t requiring you to wear anything. The paper-thin device rests unnoticeably under your sheets. Set it up once and then use Misfit’s app to check how you slept. Want to know your sleep stats? This is the thing to get. $150

House-33-tees-Gear-Patrol

House 33 Tees
Revived. House Industries reintroduces their famed House 33 tees. Printed with sinewy, subversive scripts and scoundrels, but don’t get it twisted, these are cult classics. Packaged in limited edition hand-printed and numbered boxes, the tees come in men’s and women’s styles. $24+

Epaulet-Tennis-Shoe-Gear-Patrol

Epaulet Tennis Shoes
Mostly white and Wimbledon ready. These glamorous tennis shoes–handmade in Portugal out of full-grain leather–resemble a 1970 classic. Expensive, yes; but they’re also nearly $200 cheaper than that pair of Common Projects you’ve been coveting. Not a fan of white? They come in two other colors. $225

DJ-Connect-Gear-Patrol

DJ Connect
Griffin and Algoriddim have allied again. This time they’ve created the ultimate mobile DJ setup. Compatible with Mac and iOS devices, it features two separate stereo outputs, beat-mixing, volume control and allows you to pre-cue. Aspiring DJs, you’ve been told. $100

Acer-C720-Gear-Patrol

The Acer C720
The first of its kind. Acer is launching the most powerful Chromebook. Souped up with a 1.7GHz Core i3 processor, 32GB of internal storage and the choice of either 2GB or 4GB of RAM. It still lacks a higher-resolution display—which is a bummer—but it gets 8.5 hours of battery life and the price is clutch. Available for pre-order. $350+ ()

Fotodiox-Crystal-Cameras-Gear-Patrol

Fotodiox Crystal DSLR Camera Display Models
They can’t snap photos, but these cameras are pure crystal—literally 100% hand-crafted crystal. For photography lovers, these replicas make great paperweights, bookends and display pieces. They’re 2/3 as big as the real thing and available in two models: the Canon EOS 7D or the Nikon D90. $90
