Today in Gear: End Your Week Here

Just in time for holiday shopping, photo search has come to the world of small buying! Etsy announced that iOS users can now use images to discover products across its entire site. With so many unique items available, this new feature has the potential to make it even easier to find special gifts and products from independent artisans. From seeking out items of a specific color, to unique shapes, or even distinct design functionality, this feature can finally capture what words can not. The camera icon will be available in the search bar and photos can be taken in the moment or uploaded from the camera roll. While the search option is currently in beta testing, it is available to all iOS app users and pending positive results, the Etsy team hopes to roll the feature out to Android users soon.

Today we’re taking a look at a unique hammock stand, a must have homeware collaboration and a gift option for the luxury liquor connoisseur. This is Today in Gear.

Shred Longer In This 3-in-1 Snowboard Jacket

Backcountry

Whitespace’s 3L Performance 3-in-1 Sherpa Jacket is built to take you from the slope straight to the Aprés-Ski. Designed around the changing conditions that come with resort life, the jacket makes it easy to simply shed a layer when it comes time to head inside. Of course, the outermost shell is fully waterproof – yet breathable – to ensure you can count on full protection no matter the conditions. From there, a removable liner jacket uses high-loft sherpa fleece to keep you extra cozy. A fleece-lined chin guard prevents any painful chafing from the wind and a helmet-compatible hood makes it easy to lock in and hit the hill. Throughout the jacket, a series of pockets help keep your small essentials organized. So if you’re looking for a reliable, do-it-all jacket, bring home the Whitespace 3L Performance Sherpa jacket today.
