One of our constant missions at Gear Patrol is to seek out the stories, products, places and people that we feel will improve our own lives and the lives of our devoted readers. This week, that goal materialized full-form in an overflowing bounty of new articles centered around ways to make one’s life a little better. A bit of an upgrade, if you will. Maybe some reflection too. Not that we’d ever steer you wrong: if you’re looking for a fine watch on a budget, cutting-edge, award-nominated literature or $400 umbrellas, we’ll always have you covered. Below, for your consideration, is a handful of pieces with advice on what to buy, where to go, how to organize and much more. Here’s to never settling. – Nick Caruso

A Notable Quote From The Week
“Emotionally, carnally, politically and socially, Prince could be assertive, submissive, playful, deadly serious, hardheaded and sensitive; there was never any question that he could be all of these things, none of them, or some of them, all at once. That plurality of experiences exists in all of us and always has. But we often lock them away like toys we’ve decided we’ve outgrown.”
– Nick Milanes
