In the latest installment of the Halo franchise, Master Chief is no longer the good guy. Or is he?

Blackberry Priv

TIG-gear-patrol-blackberry

This new Android-based smartphone has Blackberry’s renowned keyboard and a 5.4-inch dual-curved screen.

Blue Lola Headphones

TIG-gear-patrol-blue2

Blue just launched its new Lola headphones. Available in either white or black, the headphones are a slimmed-down, lightweight version of the Mo-Fi headphones that Blue released last year. The Lolas are lighter (and more comfortable to wear for prolonged periods) because they lack a built-in amp. But each still boasts a 50mm fiber-reinforced driver, delivering beautiful, complex sound.

Pico – Craft Beer at Home

TIG-gear-patrol-pico

As a Keurig does with coffee, this Kickstarter product allows people to easily make their own craft beer at home (though it’s still a one- to two-week process).

Everlane Italian Dress Shirt

TIG-gear-patrol-everlane

Everlane’s new dress shirt is slim fitting, made in Italy with 100 percent cotton, and is available in three different colors (white, black or gray).
