Meet Vans’ Best Cold Weather Boot Yet

Vans

Now in its sixth year, Vans’ outdoor footwear collection has grown to include a wide range of smart, insulated styles — but today, there’s one clear standout: The UltraRange EXO HI GORE-TEX MTE 3. The shoe was purpose-built on the back of decades of snowboard boot development, and taps Vans’ most advanced all-weather technology. As a result, it’s equipped with GORE-TEX breathable waterproofing, a heat-retaining 3M Thinsulate insulation package and a comfortable MTE-3 outsole with an All-Trac rubber compound for added traction.

This Pencil Doubles As a Phone Stand

Huckberry

And a bottle opener, and a ruler. Yep, the four-in-one Phone Stand Multi-Tool ($20) is designed to serve as an office-ready EDC, that can carry you right into EOD (hello, bottle opener). Its compact design means it’s easy to toss right into your bag, and a built-in lead storage compartment will also ensure you have back-up lead when you need it. Best of all, it’s TSA-compliant, so you can seriously bring it anywhere.

Wild Turkey Unveils Its ‘Generations’ Release

Wild Turkey

The new ‘ultra-premium and highly limited release’ was crafted by three generations of Wild Turkey royalty: i.e. Jimmy, Eddie and Bruce Russell. It is an expert blend of four hand-selected bourbon whiskies that showcase the family’s varied palates, and the result is a richly layered and complex whiskey, bottled at barrel proof and non-chill filtered. Only 5,000 bottles will be available, and Generations is set to release with an MSRP of $450.

The Branzino Craze Abounds

Blue Cove

For the last few years, branzino has found its way onto all sorts of menus, often as a whole fish grilled, garnished and served up to an eager table. Now, fans can bring the crowd-pleaser home in a tiny tin, thanks to Blue Cove. The company has released the US’s first tinned branzino, with two varieties available: Piquillo Peppers & Herbs and Minced Olive & Fine Herbs. Fans can shop each flavor for $17, or bring home a two-pack for $33 — just in time for holiday hosting.

A Compact, Wearable Fire Starter

Huckberry

The Leicht Fire Starter Neck Lanyard ($14) centers around a Sånft-korr™ micro ferrocerium rod that allows one up to 12,000 strikes at any altitude, in any weather. It’s designed to be worn around your neck so you’ll always have it within arm’s reach, and is strung on a military-spec 550 paracord lanyard. Designed by Uberleben for the most hardcore gearheads, it’ll also make a great stocking stuffer; or conversation piece.
