On the Radar


Reveals, New Launches and Gear


Ministry of Supply 3D Suit

Ministry-of-Supply-3D-Suit-650×500

Meet the next evolution of suiting, courtesy of the technical clothing geniuses at Ministry of Supply. Their new “3D Suit” is made from a soft and flexible material that’s almost foam-like to the touch, then molded three-dimensionally around the contours of the body to provide a level of comfort that rivals a sweatsuit. It’s also machine washable and moisture wicking, while still boasting the tailored fit your job and personal style demand.

Manfrotto D1 Backpack for DJI Phantom

TIG-Gear-Patrol-backpack2

Manfrotto’s new D1 backpack is designed specifically to fit your DJI Phantom drone. It can fit safely inside the pack with its propellors detached, but also has a quick attachment point outside for easy transport while its propellors are attached. A top compartment fits a DSLR for another angle and the inclusion of a dedicated laptop and tablet compartment means photo and video editing are never far away.

Stance Underwear

TIG-Gear-Patrol-stance-underwear

Stance’s new underwear line follows the same mantra as their socks: comfort, function and bold designs.

Greats The Beast Mode 2.0

TIG-Gear-Patrol-beastmode

Designed in collaboration with Marshawn Lynch, Greats’s new Beast Mode 2.0 features a smart tag that can be scanned with your iPhone to display the limited-edition number and the digital profile assigned to each pair.

Stone Stochasticity Project Grainiac

TIG-Gear-Patrol-stone-graniac

The latest beer to come out of Stone’s Stochasticity Project, Grainiac is brewed with a diverse malt bill that includes millet and buckwheat for depth of flavor.
