KOLE THERMAL FLASK: NISNAS INDUSTRIES
This elegant, unique flask is part practical — it holds a small quantity of your favorite drink, whether it’s hot espresso or chilled gin, and keeps it at just the right temperature. And it’s part work of art — each flask is handcrafted from stainless steel and smooth-tothe-touch wood, which comes in your choice of an oak, mahogany or walnut finish. The lid serves as a portable shot glass, perfect for a pick-me-up after a steep slope or vigorous surf session. nisnasindustries.com
THE FALLLINE JACKET: VOORMI
In 2010, former Microsoft manager Dan English founded Voormi, a Colorado-based clothing company named for a sasquatch-like monster. Voormi created “Core Construction,” a technique for knitting Rocky Mountain Highcountry Merino wool through membrane, creating a single-layer jacket that keeps out the worst of the rain but wears like a cozy fleece. Climbers and hikers have begun praising the fabric for its unmatched breathability and weather resistance. voormi.com
MONKEY STAND FOR POLAROID CUBE: POLAROID
Of course, it might look like it would be more at home in the jungle, but this rugged little monkey can make itself at home anywhere, from mountain tops to river valleys. Essentially, it’s a tiny tripod for the Polaroid Cube, a “lifestyle action camera” that boasts a 124-degree wide-angle lens, a shockproof and splash-resistant body and the digital wherewithal to record up to 90 minutes of 1080p HD video or 6-megapixel stills. The Cube can be paired with mounts for helmets, bicycles or traditional tripods, but with the Monkey Stand, this camera also boasts a cute, curly tail and a petite pair of monkey hands. polaroid.com
WETSUIT SMARTPHONE CASES: DOG & BONE
Keep your phone safe, dry and by your side with Dog & Bone Wetsuit cases. They’re designed to military standards, capable of protecting your electronics from harm even from drops up to 2 meters (that’s more than 6 feet) — and can go up to 2 meters below the water’s surface. All that, and you can still directly touch your screen. The iPhone case works by insulating the rest of the phone behind two sealing beads, meaning there’s nothing between your finger and your phone, while the Samsung version uses 9H hardness glass impact screen protection. In either variety, your camera lens is also protected behind anti-reflective glass. dogandbonecases.com
