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 sports injury that men get from contact sports like football, boxing, and hockey. They can happen to anyone, at any time and surprisingly among female high school soccer players had a higher number of concussions compared to male football players. 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. If you or someone you know has recently suffered from a traumatic hit to the head that might be a concussion, please consult with a doctor immediately.

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!

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.

When it comes to securing your property, most of us want effective solutions without compromising the aesthetic appeal of our homes. We don’t want our home to look like a fortress, but we do want to keep our families, possessions, and property safe. Fortunately, there are ways to boost perimeter security without resorting to unsightly barriers and barbed wire. Below, we’ll explore three key strategies that not only enhance security but also maintain the welcoming appearance of your home.

Everyone is jumping on the off-road bandwagon right now but the guys at Dirt Co. are legit. Not only are these the same guys who run the MINT 400 but they genuinely love getting dirty. The passion shows with some of the most awesome tee-shirts that I've seen anywhere as well as my current favorite hat. Let's check out some of our favorite products found at Dirt Co.

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.

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.

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 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!

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...

We are entering a great era for men who want to choose unique, good-looking wedding bands. While you can still pick traditional styles and materials, a new generation of designers have brought a raft of cool, contemporary alternatives to the table.

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.

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!

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. 

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.

Rattlesnakes! If you live in the western part of the United States, chances are you've encountered these pests in your backyard and wondered what was the best way to protect your family. Ultimately, the most effective strategy is to discourage them from entering your yard in the first place. Rattlesnake-proofing your property involves planning, hard work, and constant diligence. With a bit of help, it's a task you can accomplish on a spring afternoon, earning you some bragging rights at Monday's water cooler chat. By creating an unwelcoming environment, you can effectively deter rattlesnakes and ensure the safety of your home and loved ones.

Don't worry, though - no fortress is impenetrable, so we've got you covered with some professional advice on how to get rid of rattlesnakes quickly and easily, too!

Selecting a watch was once as simple as saying "I want the black one". In fact, there's almost no area where innovation has been as core to the industry as watches and clocks. From the early days when accurate timekeeping was critical to navigating a sailing vessel to the new world to today when your watch isn't even really just a timepiece, this industry is amazing. For those of us who love to travel to extreme and exotic locations though, this means that no matter where you are going there is a watch that is perfect to take with you!

The day your child leaves home is a bittersweet moment. You'll be excited to have more time and space, but you'll also miss the hugs and kisses from your little one. As an empty nesters couple, it's important for you to take some time off before they leave so that you can spend quality time with them on their last few days at home. It's also a good idea to set up any new routines in advance so that things are running smoothly once they're gone - this will make sure that they feel safe when they go back home. Here are 11 ways to prepare for your children leaving home.

While the world is becoming more progressive, gender roles are becoming more fuzzy. There’s nothing wrong with this, but societal norms and expectations are changing to where it’s becoming more challenging to know and understand basic skills that people would know generations ago.
