Beardbrand x Kent Comb Collection
Whether your aim is full-out lumberjack or the refined Dali-inspired ‘stache, facial hair means nothing without a proper tool to tame it.

These are as good as they come. beardbrand.com

Baxter of California Exfoliating Body Bar
The rough equivalent to being scrubbed by a throng of sirens, this new body bar from Baxter of California gives a clean so good you’ll shower twice. Pumice, jojoba meal, and crushed olive seeds strip away caked grime and dead skin cells under a rich aromatic lather of cedarwood and oak moss. Lava soap finally founds its match. $16

Porsche 911 GTS
The GTS is back, arriving at 60 in 3.8 seconds with a 430 hp version of the Carrera S’s 3.8-liter flat six engine. The body is based on the wider S models and comes standard with Alcantara suede inside, 20-inch gloss black wheels and xenon headlights outside and a sweet GTS air intake for deeper breathing. porsche.com

These limited-edition shirts are tough. Made from Pendleton wool with laser-cut 3X Dry Schoeller shoulder and elbow panels, they’re fully suited for biking down a dirt trail or drinking beer outside. In two colors — grey and navy plaid — the biking shirts also feature shoulder gussets for improved ventilation and maneuvering, and articulated sleeves and cuffs. $195

G-Tech G-Speed Studio R Thunderbolt 2
Electronic hardware that doesn’t project, light up or buzz! The new product from G-Tech has one responsibility: store data. With four bays capable of storing up to 24TB, it’s a premium storage RAID system. It’s also fast. The Thunderbolt 2 technology allows it to transfer files at up to 700MB/sec. Lag time be warned. $2,200+

Wacaco Minipresso
The camping/hiking equivalent of a Russian nesting doll, many components unscrew from this mini espresso press. It’s 100 percent hand pumped and operated — meaning no nitrogen cartridges. Admittedly, it’s a lot of work for a small cup of strong coffee. But waking up in the cool damp wild is when espresso tastes best. $65
