Knockaround Sunglasses is keen to this; they’ve been doing cool shades since 2005, and for one of their cool brand collaborations check out these Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary …

REVIEW – Voice in your Head: Here we go again, another portable charging solution. Me: Ah, but this one has a bit of a twist. The Renogy 10,000mAh Solar Panel Water Resistant Power Bank has not only a solar panel for backup charging, but is also water-resistant. Other products may offer one or the other of …

REVIEW – Since Apple (finally) threw its hat into the wireless charging ring with its latest iPhone 8/8 Plus and iPhone X models, wireless charging products have been multiplying in the market like rabbits. One of the latest that we’ve had the opportunity to evaluate here at The Gadgeteer is the AIKO 10W Fast Wireless …
REVIEW – All these personal devices make our lives easier, but they demand the juice, don’t they? Enter the portable charger, the market for which has exploded (thankfully figuratively, not literally). I own and/or have reviewed a handful of portable chargers and I’ve been fairly happy with most of them, but the RAVPower 10,000mAh 5W Wireless …

I do a bit of travel, mostly for work, some for vacations. I also do a fair bit of working out. Well, OK, I work out 6 or 7 days a week. I had been looking for a bag that I could use for either travel or the gym, and one that would be durable …
I’ve been a fan of Baron Fig’s products since reviewing their Confidant Hardcover Notebook a while back. Their products have a simple, minimalist style while beginning functional a durable. Their successful leather notebook covers provided a natural segway into the wallet world, and their first product in this space is the Card Sleeve, a slim, …

We all love our gadget and gear hauling bags, but sometimes we don’t want or need to lug around that full-sized backpack or messenger bag. I’ve seen several smaller alternative options pop up over the years, but many of them either looked like a strange purse, a European man-bag, or just plain weird. The Mission Workshop …
I’ve been a daily watch wearer for over 30 years now, and one thing I’ve always wished for has been a watch that never needs a new battery (or a recharge, in the case of today’s smartwatches). The clever folks at Matrix Industries, Inc. may have finally made that dream a reality. Their MATRIX PowerWatch …

While wireless phone charging is certainly not new (Android phones have this capability for some time), it has exploded in popularity in the past several months due, arguably, to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X having incorporated the wireless Qi charging standard into their newest feature sets. With this has come a …
Two ideas among many that I am big fan of are hydration and multi-functionality. Where is this going, you ask? Allow PACElid to elegantly link these two ideas together. When I’m out hiking, rucking, traveling or even just running errands around town, I usually have my Nalgene bottle along, and PACElid lets me take a …
One of the much-debated yet virtually universal axioms of EDC philosophy is that you need at least two items in your EDC kit: a flashlight and a knife. While some prefer or even need to carry flashlights and/or knifes that are on the more powerful or larger end of the product spectrum, there are some …
As a Child of the 80s I grew up watching such animated TV classics as The Transformers and Thundercats. But due to its roots way back in the early 1960s, one show transcended them all and became an American pop-culture icon—G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero! I was totally stoked to stumble upon these …

I’m a big fan of gadgets that pack several (or many) uses into a single, small device. And with survival products being a huge market these days, when I saw the Off Grid Tools Survival Companion Pro multitool, I was immediately interested. It’s the size of a largish pocket knife, but includes 21 survival-type tools—such …

We’re big fans of Moleskine here at The Gadgeteer (check out our many past reviews of their products), and as a child of the 80s, I’m a HUGE fans of the original “The Transformers: Robots in Disguise” animated series from the latter half of that glorious decade. Moleskine has released two notebooks bearing the classic …

Look, I don’t know if it’s actually possible to look both adorable and serious at the same time, but Bomber and Company might just have pulled it off with their tiny but mighty B-2 Nano Blade knife. In a fully jet black color scheme with angular edges, this keychain-sized folding knife’s appearance was inspired by the …
