This Ultralight Rooftop Tent Punches Way Above Its Weight

Freespirit Recreation

Weighing just 110 pounds, the Aspen Lite comes equipped with the brand’s AirCore mattress, smart tri-layer insulation across its windows and doors and integrated, dimmable LED lighting. Fans can also store their bedding inside the tent while it’s closed, allowing for easier access on the go. Best of all, it’s entirely waterproof and designed to set up (and tear down) in 25 seconds flat.

Meet the Internet’s New Favorite Gaming Mouse

Pwnage

Crafted from a high-grade Magnesium alloy, this lightweight gaming mouse is designed to maximize your gaming performance. It’s ergonomic and engineered to provide players with a more comfortable grip, so they can play all day (or night) long. Meanwhile, an adjustable sensor can adjust to your aim, and ultimately allow for ultra-precise movements. Billed as the ‘World’s most exotic and cutting edge gaming mouse,’ the Magnum Opus ($179) might be all you need to bring your gaming to the next level.

Get Ready for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon

Mercedez-Benz

Mercedes recently unveiled the brand new model, the E-Class Estate. Wider and longer than its predecessor, the new car boasts ample cargo space plus a huge MBUX Supercreen that combines a central infotainment screen with handy digital gauges. What’s more, it even boasts a selfie camera that can be used with apps like TikTok and Zoom. With three powertrains available, the car is still yet to receive a North American launch date.

LEKI Created a Trekking Pole Made From Hemp

LEKI

The new Hemp One Vario is the first trekking pole ever constructed from hemp. The brand emphasizes that raw hemp fibers are twice as strong as steel, and hemp can bend (and mend) approximately six times better than steel. Beyond that, it’s also a more sustainable resource that requires little water or land area while growing. First introduced at this year’s ISPO trade fair (where it also won the ISPO Award 2023), the Hemp One Vario is expected to drop next Spring.

Shop PANGAIA For All Your Summer Staples

Pangaia

What’s better than finding one premium homebase for all your wardrobe staples? Finding one that’s steeped in innovative, sustainable practices and materials. For those unfamiliar, PANGAIA has gained popularity for its strange, often ingenious, LAB collections. Nevertheless, the brand’s core staples also prioritize smart materials, with tees, hoodies and shorts crafted from recycled and organic cotton plus pineapple and banana leaf fibers. In fact all of the brand’s new arrivals have even been treated with natural peppermint oil, for added anti-odor protection.
