Skins RY400 Travel Recovery System
By Fresno
Jet lag can be a real jerk, but slapping on these threads before heading to the gate can help ensure that you're not falling asleep in that meeting you traveled all the way across the country to get to. They use a special gradient compression technology and a ridiculously specific sizing system to enhance circulation and reduce dehydration and swelling common on long flights. Ultimately, they use a whole bunch of fancy science to create a super-comfortable outfit that will keep you from getting off the plane in Tokyo and feeling like a zombie. You can get both tights and a long sleeve shirt, but you should wear both if you're trying to get the full effect.
At $550 a pair, you'll probably never want to wear these super-limited kicks, even if you are lucky enough to find a pair. There are only 500 of them in the world and they featre "premium leathers" and Aston Martin branding as well as a slick grid pattern on the side. Osneaker.com is already selling them for $700 a pair, which means they aren't getting any cheaper. Some would say they're hideously ugly, but we actually think they're kind of cool. Although, for that much dough, you can probably rent an Aston Martin DB7 for a couple of hours and get more joy than a pair of shoes could ever bring. Choose wisely, sneakerhead.

Adidas Darth Vader Track Jacket
By Fresno
This isn't the first time we've seen Star Wars-themed outerwear, but this is the first one to be able to combine the ultimate bad-assery of Darth Vader with the old school hotness of the Adidas track jacket. Aside from some awesome graphics, it also has a detachable cape that you should probably detach before you go outside the house. Of course it has the classic three-stripe pattern down the sleeves and a full-zipper down the front. It's a limited edition run, so you better get one early or you'll have to use the force known as eBay. $100.
Hello Rewind Custom Laptop Sleeves
By Fresno
There are all kinds of cool things you can do with old T-shirts, but Hello Rewind will take them and make them into snazzy sleeves for your precious laptop. They're currently made mostly for Mac laptops, since they're all uniform sizes, but you can choose from 13", 15" or 17", which might work with your computer just fine. Once you've selected your size, they send you a pre-paid envelope for you to provide the T-shirt. Then it takes between four-to-eight weeks for the sewing elves to take your T-shirt from people clothes to computer clothes. Each one costs $50, but you'll have the comfort of knowing that you have a totally unique laptop sleeve. Also, that too-small T-shirt won't sit in your drawer taunting your gut anymore.
If your lady is going to be wearing any scandalous undergarments this Valentine's day, she should be the one to buy them. If you're trying to get her something to go under her yoga pants, consider something that's both sexy and practical. These boy shorts are made from performance mesh and have a plush elastic band so they look good and are perfect for wearing during exercise. They come in five differenc colors, including a couple of especially romantic pink options. Each pair is $20, which will seem like a deal if you have an exercise machine in the house where working out in underpants is totally cool.
Carrying around a big, clunky camera bag sucks. Plus, it's the perfect way to let bad guys know you're carrying around a whole bunch of expensive gear. The Exchange bag is different, though. The form factor is much like that of a regular messenger bag, but the inside is designed to accomodate a DSLR as well as a couple of extra lenses or flashes. You can move around the adjustable dividers to meet your specific camera set-up and two buckles to keep things inside the bag and not laying on the sidewalk. $40
Timbuk2 Hidden Messenger Bag
By Fresno
Timbuk2 makes killer messenger bags, but you don't always wan to have something swinging from your shoulders. The Hidden Messenger bag is made from 90% recyclable rip stop fabric and folds into an extremely compact bag in case you want to stuff your empty sack into a pocket or into another suitcase. It's great if you're going on a trip and planning to bring back more stuff than you packed or if you're going to the store and need a place way to carry you cheese curls on the way home. It's equipped with SR buckles to keep it closed and a front organizer pocket to keep your junk in order and prevent your keys from scarring up all of your other belongings.
Kinekt Gear Ring
By Fresno
Two-finger rings are the current trend in fingerwear for dudes, but none of them can drop as much science as this ring with working gears. As you turn it, the gears actually move, providing of course that you haven't gotten them all jammed up with junk from wearing it every day. It's made from high-quality stainless steel, so it will last until well after you've handed it down to your son or you threw it in the lake for pulling all of the hair off of your fingers. It will set you back $165, which is a little steep for they average stainless ring, but it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than one of those platinum, spinning rapper chains.

Pedaler Day Night Hoodie
By Fresno
Bike-specific clothing has a well-earned reputation for being some of the ugliest garb on the planet. Pedaler takes a different approach, though, making threads you can wear in the saddle without being embarrassed to be seen. Their Day Night Hoodie is made from 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, so it will last longer and wick sweat much better than a typical hoodie. It will also be naturally less smelly once you're done on the pedals, so wearing it on a commuter ride is totally possible. It has a reflective logo and zipper to help make you more visible to cars that might otherwise run you over and there's even a pocket on the back like the ones you'd find on a traditional cycling jersey. $125.
Ladies can pull off a scarf like no guy possibly could, especially when its made from super-soft, hand-made silk. These pastel neck warmers are created entirely by hand and are dyed with color derived from seeds, leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, bark and even insects. Each one is made by a woman weaver in Laos and proceeds from the $50-$100 prices go to help alleviate poverty in their home country. But, even if your lady isn't concerned with social activism, she'll still be pretty impressed with just how warm it is and how good it feels on her skin. Plus, when she's not around, you can totally wear it around the house.
We have covered quite a few of Nixon's awesome watches for dudes, but they also have some really cool stuff for the ladies. Their new Gem Pendant is a fully-functional time-piece, meant to be worn around the neck. The three-hand Japanese quarts movement is extremely accurate and the case is water resistant (not waterproof, so don't let her go swimming with it). The chain is made from stainless steel and there are four different color combinations to choose from. Prices range from $90 to $100, which is a pretty good deal when you consider the fact that you're getting both a time-piece and a necklace. Just be prepared for sketchy dudes to try and sneak a peak at your lady's chest while pretending to check the time.
Adidas Augmented Reality Sneakers
By Fresno
In case you're not hip to the whole augmented reality phenomenon, these new high-tech kicks from Adidas will help school you to the game. There's a digital code printed on the tonge of each show. When you hold that code up to your computer's web camera, it reveals a whole virtual "neighborhood" that you can navigate on your computer, using the shoe itself as a controller. Adidas is currently working to develop games and all kinds of other activities that you can partake in, using your kicks as controllers. Of course, they still fulfill all the duties you'd expect a normal shoe to take care of, like keeping your feet safe from puddles and sidewalk gum, but now you'll have a whole new reason to keep your shoes looking fresh and clean. Unless, of course, you don't mind using a grimy kick to control your computer. $95.
