REVIEW – Clothes, closets, hangers. We all have them. We all use them. There’s no rocket science here. But then, back in 2017, South Korean company Collabo Space decided that they would build the proverbial better mousetrap and came up with Boomerang Hanger – an improvement on the traditional hanger design. Then, in 2018, they

REVIEW – It’s winter, and while I grew up with snow and wind chills, it doesn’t mean I will ever get used to it. I prefer jackets of all sorts because coats are thick, annoying, and don’t do so swell if you are going to be indoors. What about a jacket that heats up though?

REVIEW – I love the look of leather jackets. However, where I live in south Texas we have a winter that cannot make up its mind. One day we are in the ’80s, then the next day we have highs in the 40s. The cold snaps often don’t last more than a couple of days

REVIEW – When I was much younger, I truly enjoyed the winter seasons in New York, and at times I would be outdoors in 50-degree weather with a T-shirt and shorts. These days, the cold seems to hurt my bones and joints, and I look for ways to stay warm when outdoors. Basically, I now

Cool mornings and evenings need some extra warmth – sunny afternoons will cook you if you are dressed solely for the morning chill.

REVIEW – I am one of the many so-called knowledge workers who spend the vast majority of their days engaged in what the military used to call “polishing a chair with my ass.” This often leaves me with sore, slightly swollen calves. As a partial solution to this, I have been wearing various types of

REVIEW – As I’ve written before, I’m active in Scouting (Eagle Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster). One of the Ten Essentials for the outdoors is appropriate rain gear.

REVIEW – I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the out-of-doors, and the one thing that can take the enjoyment out of it is having cold feet. Whether it’s working around the yard or out taking photographs of wildlife in the winter, cold feet are the one thing that will make me cut short

REVIEW – Living in Michigan, having warm outerwear in the winter is essential. I’m not a big fan of bulky winter coats, and I love to wear hoodies. I’ve tried vests as an option before, but they were either really bulky or too thin to provide enough warmth. Recently, I was allowed to test out
