Organize Your Workspace with Leander

Leander

Leander’s Workspace Collection is centered around seven smart products. Designed with a combination of American Black Walnut, Wickett and Craig full grain (vegetable tanned) American leather and premium felted wool; the lineup is designed to help elevate your day-to-day. Best of all, fans can now shop the kit in a limited edition camouflage leather, with pricing for individual pieces starting at just $15.

Cotopaxi Just Dropped Roller Bags

Cotopaxi

Known for creating all sorts of colorful gear, Cotopaxi just released its very first rolling suitcases. Each bag is made from 100 percent recycled fabrics sourced from pre-consumer waste. With four colorways and two sizes — 38L ($350) and 65L ($395) — to choose from, the Allpa Roller Bag is a great gift for every jetsetting gearhead.

Pioneer Just Announced a New Digital-Analog Hybrid Turntable

Pioneer DJ

The new PLX-CRSS12 ($1,399) is designed to allow DJs to seamlessly move back and forth between vinyl records and digital tracks. It’s notably the world’s first turntable to support both analog record playback and tone-arm-free DVS control, and set to come available for purchase in September. With everything from an adjustable stopping speed to customizable torque, fans can find all the product’s key features at the link below.

Another Day, Another New Water Shoe

Vivobarefoot

If FiveFingers or Hydro Mocs just aren’t quite cutting it, it might be time to consider The Ultra III JJF ($130). Lightweight and built for exploring life along the shore, the amphibious shoe is a great option for life on (or beside) the water. Plus, one advantage it has over its competitors is hardy lacing across the upper — and the brand’s confident 100 Day Trial offer.

A Smarter Way to Make and Store Ice

W&P

For those without an automatic ice machine, meet W&P. The brand offers a wide range of ice trays — including molds for fancy cocktail ice and vertical ‘Water Bottle’ ice cubes — plus space-saving gear like Stacking Ice Cube Trays ($20) and ‘The Ice Box’ ($20). The Ice Box is a two-step solution. On top, you’ll find a traditional silicone ice cube mold. On the bottom: A box that can store up to 96 cubes. It’s so simple you’ll kick yourself for not having thought of it yourself, so don’t hesitate to bring home your own.
