BUNDLE UP, DRESS DOWN

A short-sleeved jacket seems like a contradiction in terms, but that’s the bold idea behind the North Face Ultra Lite Waterproof Short-Sleeve Jacket. It’s made from waterproof-breathable material, hides a hood behind a zip in the collar, and weighs in at less than 5 ounces. The material is so light (yet tough), it compresses down to the size of a wallet. Originally designed with long-distance runners in mind, the Ultra Lite is ideal for outdoor fun in ports of call with lots of sun — and the occasional tropical downpour. thenorthface.com

IN FULL FLOWER

Magnus and Bella are British jewelry artisans who, for decades, have been mastering the art of making precious metals come to life. For their “Sakura” range, they’ve chosen traditional Japanese depictions of cherry trees as inspiration for necklace and ring sets. Gnarled limbs of precious metals wind around blossoms made of gems in shapes reminiscent of nihonga paintings, crafted out of a selection of materials. Magnus and Bella also create beautiful bespoke pieces from … well, whatever you’d like, from heirloom stones to antique stamps to beautiful shells found on your travels. magnusandbella.co.uk

BEYOND STEPS

The Polar Loop offers something beyond other activity trackers: the ability to set personal daily activity goals based on more than just steps. It can even record your fitness data as you swim, letting you know how many calories you’ve burned, how high your heart rate has gotten, how long you’ve been sitting and resting and how close you are to your individual goal. It’s also a motivational expert, offering feedback and advice – and tracking your sleep patterns to make sure you’re getting the right kind of rest. polar.com

HERRINGBONE ON THE HARDSHELL

Ted Baker has designed an ideal suitcase for travelers bound for town or country. The Packit Snall Herringbone Suitcase is compact enough for the carry-on compartment, but solidly made of tough, light makrolon polycarbonate with aluminum detailing. It’s got a TSA-approved combination lock protecting it on the outside, with room inside for more than 10 gallons of gear. The silver-colored shell and embossed tweed-pattern panel give it a distinctive look that coordinates well with whatever you’re wearing, wherever you’re bound. tedbaker.com
