Best Pool-side Flip Flop You’ll Ever Own

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Surprise, surprise — this well-equipped Reef Leather Fanning flip flop ($52 ) features a church key embedded in the bottom to open that refreshing beer-bottle that’s calling your name.  It alone can surely make you a few new friends at pool parties and barbecues.

And, it’s comfortable too, the contoured footbed and thick, foamy, molded EVA sole with added arch support, the under-heel airbag cushioning, the hidden bottle opener (did we mention that already?).

This version, though, has a rich leather upper and super-soft glove leather lining the thong strap.

Obsessed With Reading? Kindle Yourself!

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

We know that even the best books are useless if you can’t read them… and with as many as 620,000 books at the palm of your hand, you can forget about your local library and escape to your very own backyard library with Kindle ($189) – the ultra-cool wireless reading device.

Sleek & Light

At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you’ll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.  Scratch that, it actually fits in your one hand because the other will be gripping an ice-cold BEER.

Simple to Use, No Computer Required

Unlike most electronic devices, the Kindle was built for tool sheds like yourself.  Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box – no setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required, no brain-usage, eye-balls not included.

Ergonomic Design

Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. Just be sure to put sunblock on during those long reading stretches…

Precise 5-Way Controller

Kindle has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words.  Trust us, these buttons are bigger than your Blackberries buttons.

Be a Square with GasCan Oakley Sunglasses

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Stop looking like a tool this summer with your military issue portholes and start getting double-takes from the ladies with these GasCan Men’s Oakley Sunglasses ($155).

Oakley pumped the dimensions of the original GasCan sunglasses with the pulse of the street, fueling a one-of-a-kind new look. Now the aggressive design language called Oakley Square O brings a new urban contender.

This pair of sunglasses turns down the volume of O Matter frame material, reducing the overall size with some harder lines that make it streetwise.

High Definition Optics (HDO®) keeps visual performance at full tilt, and impact protection meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards (whatever that means).

Cover Those Stubs with Crocs

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

These Crocs ($29) are a closed cell resin which is anti-microbial by nature and resists odor, making these perfect barefoot shoes.

A combination of material and design makes the shoe slip resistant.  Strategically placed ventilation holes allow water, sand and air to travel through the footwear.  Heel strap can be rolled forward for a slip on clog shoe or keep it back for a heel strap.

Arch support is built in, making these all day shoes.
