Unbound Merino Wool T-Shirt
Unbound Merino claims their T-shirt can go over 30 days without washing since Merino wool is naturally resistant to odors, sweat, and bacteria. The 100 percent wool V-neck is so‑ (not scratchy), comfortable enough for a day sailing and hiking, but still stylish enough for dinner out. It’s light, and it definitely stayed fresh for a week of adventuring. ($75, unboundmerino.com)
Vessel Eclipse Kit
Dry herb fans know that different state laws can make traveling with cannabis risky business. This lux Vessel Eclipse Kit may be a solution. The “just-add-flower” kit is a style elevation for purists with a handcrafted one-hitter chillum with a sandblasted, smoked glass finish, a carbon lighter that’s a work of art, and a smell-free and waterproof stash jar in anodized aluminum. (But, don’t risk carrying cannabis when traveling to states where it isn’t legal.) ($99, vesselbrand.com)
Yeti V Series Hard Cooler
There are people who would never pay $800 for a cooler. The retro meets futuristic Yeti V Series Hard Cooler in stainless steel is not for them — but it is awesome. This Yeti combines two icons: the cold holding power of the brand’s drinkware (our editors have had ice stay frozen more than 48 hours in their steel tumblers) and the style of their iconic Tundra Cooler. Plus, you’ll never need another styrene-leaching Styrofoam cooler again. ($800, yeti.com)
