What is your favorite piece of gear from 2019?

I asked my fellow gear-loving MJ staffers to tell me the best of all the cool stuff they tested this year.

DAVID SCHLOW, CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Breville Barista Pro: Buh-bye, Starbucks. With its single-touch grinder and powerful steam wand, the Breville is easy to operate. Most importantly, it makes an amazingly fast and tasty cup of coffee.

JENNIFER SANTANA, DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Trek FX Sport 4: The aluminum frame and hydraulic brakes were a breath of fresh air—especially since I’m used to commuting on much heavier share bikes.

RYAN KROGH, FEATURES EDITOR

Yeti Camino Carryall: It’s indestructible, and I never imagined how often I would use such a basic thing—from stowing wet fishing waders and boots after an outing to hauling groceries into the house.

JARED SULLIVAN, SENIOR EDITOR

Muji Gel-ink Ball Point 0.5mm: This is the platonic ideal of a pen: inexpensive, unfussy, fine-pointed, and smudge-free. I buy them by the pallet.

TOM BROWN, COPY CHIEF

Biolite Firepit: Fellow campers consistently wander over from nearby sites wondering how I got such an awesome fire.

BRITTANY SMITH, MJ.COM SENIOR EDITOR

Roka’s Maverick X Wetsuit: It optimizes freestyle with its buoyant, supportive core, unrestrictive arms-up construction, and X-shape taping to reinforce power.

JOYCE PARENTE, HEAD OF INTEGRATED MARKETING

JBL Clip 3: The clip feature makes all the difference—whether you attach it to yourself or to a piece of lawn furniture. And the sound is pretty great for its size.
