  • These Wiley X Boss Sunglasses Are The Best Pair Of Sunglasses I've Ever Worn

    I love my sunglasses and while many of them are purely for fashion, there's a practical side of quality eyewear that deserves to be talked about too. While cool looking mirrored shades on the beach might be great at hiding your eyes as you look around and admire the scenery - good sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes and allow them to function at their maximum level. Glasses like this are designed to help you see those fish better, avoid getting dust in your eyes so you can take that turn faster, and ultimately offer the best sun protection possible so you can enjoy the perks of good vision as long as possible.

  • Concussions Are More Than Just A Male Sports Injury

    Concussions are more than just a sports injury that men get from contact sports like football, boxing, and hockey.

In this post, we will take a look at what a man can expect to expect during and after a concussion as well as how to avoid them in the first place as well as the importance of seeking medical attention after a head trauma.

  • Review: American Flag Rancher Steel Toe Wellington Boot by Wolverine

    If you're looking to make a statement, these are the boots to wear. However, unlike some similar patriotic pieces of clothing, these are legitimately awesome boots that are as good for work as they are for a night on the town. Granted, you gotta be a bold type of guy but while these boots look great - they are also the same Wolverine quality that you already know and love. So, if you are looking for something fun for that tailgate party, or guys night out... these are a pair of kick butt boots that you should check out!

  • Lucyd Smart Glasses Are A Great Way To Stay Connected While Avoiding Isolation

    You know the people... those ones bopping their head while walking down the street and sometimes they are talking to themselves. We used to mock these people staying they must be high or pity them for being mentally insane. The reality over the past decade or so is that these are just folks jamming out to music by plugging earbuds into their heads and effectively sealing off reality. Not only is this dangerous but it is also disruptive to those around them in busy city environments for instance and tragic in other situations like a hike where you might like to enjoy some music... but not miss the natural sounds of creeks, birds, or the wind blowing through the trees. That's where Lucyd comes in and offers an alternative to make music and calls on the go safer while not isolating you from the environment.

  • Preparing For A DIY Home Improvement Project

    A large DIY project requires various steps, and missing just one can be a nightmare. Preparation is everything for a complex job that requires more than a hammer and a few nails. A full decor project or renovation needs planning and an emphasis on health and safety.

  • Florsheim Lakeside Is My New Favorite Traveling Shoe

    The brand Florsheim is widely recognized but I feel like many folks - including myself - identify it as more conservative, fancier, and though very well constructed... not always the most comfortable shoes. That has clearly changed in the last few years as two of my absolutely favorite and most comfortable shoes are made by Florsheim. This includes the Lakeside "boat shoe" that I took with me on a recent cruise and has now earned it's place as my preferred show for traveling.

  • How To Pick The Perfect Pair Of Winter Boots For Active Men

    There’s no shortage of different styles of winter boot to pick from and so it is important to take a moment and think about what your needs are during these cold, dark, and frankly - dangerous months where poor choice in footwear could result in an expensive medical bill. Cross trainers and walking shoes are easy to shop for by comparison since they tend to be less expensive and have fewer responsibilities in terms of protecting your feet. 

  • These Muck Boots Will Take You From Farm Chores To The Board Room And Still Look Great

    These Chore Farm Leather Chelsea boots really caught my eye. While “The Original Muck Boot Company” has a far more utilitarian heritage - with a name that evokes trudging through damp soil while doing farm work and needing to be rugged enough to protect your feet from whatever your are trudging through - while being able to clean off that “muck” from your feet - these on the other hand are as stylish as they are rugged. Plus, they fit great too!

  • Why Ethanol is Bad For Your Lawn Mower and Other Power Tools

    I've been a fan of TruFuel for a while now - frankly speaking, it's convenient and less messy than having to mix petrol and oil to make it the right formula for my 2-stroke engine power tools. That was enough for me, I'm generally pretty happy just that something saves me time and energy. What about that third selling point though, the fact that it contains no ethanol. Why is ethanol bad though and how does it actually hurt your engine? Let's take a look...

  • This Coolibar Suede Fedora Keeps You Cool and Protected From the Sun

    Hats are an essential part of my traveling gear since frankly I don't like to use sunscreen except when I really need it. While I have a couple sun hats that are perfect for the beach, sometimes you need something that looks great on or off the trail that is comfortable, stylish, and protects you from the sun. That's what I loved about this fedora that Coolibar sent me to check out on a recent trip to Vegas.

  • Are Your Considering Adding a Home Basketball Court

    You have your home and outdoor kitchen, what's next when it comes to building your perfect outdoor space? For some it might be a pool and others it might be a putting green, but what about a home basketball court instead? Sure, you can throw a hoop up on your garage but that risks hitting cars and potentially uneven surfaces that aren't designed for the game. Let's take a look at how you can take the game to the next level by adding a real basketball court to your home!

  • An Inside Look at How NASCAR Drivers and Pit-Crews Focus on Fitness

    To the uninitiated race fan, it might seem like a top NASCAR driver like Matt Kenseth is simply doing what we all do every day - just a whole lot faster. While it's true that he's driving a car, there's a lot of training and physical fitness involved that makes him and his crew able to do the amazing feats you see them do on race day. For instance, in some turns a driver will experience 3 G's of force - making a 160 pound driver weigh 480 pounds in a turn. On top of this, the in-car temperatures can reach 120 degrees and yet they still need to be alert and able to response with lightning quick reflexes as they race around the track at up to 200 mph. 

  • These Reef Fanning Sandals Even Have A Bottle Opener Built In

    Living in San Diego, I've become somewhat of a flip flops snob as they are pretty much all I ever wear unless I'm going somewhere that needs protection from the weather or more support. What I've not seen before was a pair of men's sandals that have a bottle opener built right into the sole. Till now! These Fanning men's sandals are functional and they also feel great for walking around town.
