Regular GP readers are well aware of how much we love Patagonia’s Nano Puff line. Constructed using the most thermally efficient synthetic insulation out there — 55 percent recycled 60g PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco — Nano Puffs are equal parts ultralight, travel-friendly and warm. Take along on any plane trip and you have both a comfy pillow and an extra layer any time temps drop. At outdoor retail giant REI, the Nano Puff Hoodie (in Andes Blue) is offered for 25 percent off — but the sizes are already somewhat limited. However, if you head on over to Backcountry, you can find the Metric Orange version of the Nano Puff Jacket (sans hood) for the same 25 percent off.
This is a rare discount on two pretty good-looking colors (or more, if you can fit the limited sizes). That means your fall excursions can stay toasty and comfortable if you’re fortunate and smart enough to take advantage right now.

Manufactured in California since 1990, the ROM is more a leap of faith into the studied design and manufacturing process of their engineering team. Their guarantee of a 4 minute no impact cardio, resistance and flexibility workout that’s as good as any longer workout seems far stretched.
Whether you spend the day watching Transformers, grilling steaks to delicious perfection or just kicking it back with a beer in one hand and a gorgeous companion in the other it’s important to realize that 231 years ago this country liberated itself from the throes of colonization.

You’ve got a nice desk, nice pens, but why is your writing medium still the same thing you used when you were in high school? Replace that yellow or pink post-it pad with something of substance.
The idea of scuba diving around underwater passing coral reefs and other exotic life is appealing. The idea of scuba diving without any effort is even more appealing.
