ACLIM8 Combar Foldaxe
NOTES
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a nearly indestructible three-in-one folding ax, and potentially the Superman of multi-tools. Born from a fusion of the need for adventure and the creators’ experience while serving in the Israeli Special Forces, the Combar combines strength, toughness, and versatility. The Foldaxe features a highly durable design, with the handle’s body composed of glass-reinforced polymer and an over-molded head for a strong, safe head and shaft connection. Understanding that most outdoorsmen typically don’t need a full-sized ax, the Foldaxe instead features a hatchet-size blade to tackle the most common tasks around the campsite. And as if an indestructible hatchet hammer wasn’t enough, the Combar can store a knife, a folding saw, and small storage container, eliminating the need to carry a stack of extra tools.

NOTES
Not all binos are created equal, and that’ll be glaringly apparent the first time you look through the MeoPro HD. High-definition, extra-low dispersion, fluoride objective lens elements eliminate chromatic aberration or color fringing in challenging lighting conditions and deliver pinpoint resolution, increased contrast, and vivid color fidelity. The 56mm HD objective lens makes it a powerful optic in both bright and low-light conditions. Meopta’s proprietary ion-assisted lens multi-coating is applied to all air-to-glass optical surfaces, which eliminates distorting glare and reflections, and delivers an industry leading 99.8-percent light transmission per lens surface. One hundred-percent guaranteed to be submersible and protected against the elements. Once the focus is dialed in, it’s more akin to a high-resolution telescope than your run-of-the-mill binos.

Technical clothing is easy to overthink, but Wiley X has created a jacket that’s beautiful in both simplicity and design.

DICEROX Lagertha Knife

MSRP

NOTES
This blade is named after the Viking Shield-Maiden who once ruled what’s now Norway; a woman warrior so fierce, she had Ragnar fighting bears just to win her over. Lagertha, in the Viking tradition, is inspired by the saxe design, and is a versatile bushcraft knife made from premium components. Unlike many stamped-steel blades, Dicerox puts all the love and care you’d expect from small-batch, custom-made knives. The blade itself is Uddeholm Vanax steel, which is renowned for its strength and resistance to corrosion. Oak handle slabs are sourced locally from Swedish forests and processed with care by an ex-furniture-maker turned bladesmith. Swedish hide, vegetable-tanned sheaths are handmade by Dicerox and constructed from the remnants of a local saddle maker, ensuring no two sheaths will be the same. This is an heirloom-quality blade, made to outlast the one who holds it.

NOTES
If there were a king of the flashlight mountain, the LR80R would be a promising candidate. Built to withstand punishing conditions, this light can produce 18,000 lumens, creating a beam that reaches as far as 1,130 meters (nearly three quarters of a mile). Its USB-C rechargeable 7.2V/12000mAh Li-ion battery pack fully charges in approximately four hours and eliminates the need to carry extra batteries. Its 3.6-pound weight can be easily supported with the included shoulder strap, which can also be swapped out with a hanging ring in case you need it to illuminate a single area. Two output modes — low (300 to 1,000 lumens) and high (3,000 to 18,000 lumens) — ensure only the required amount of energy is being used. The light will run for approximately 300 hours in Eco mode, and the USB-C ports can be used to charge devices from the light’s battery.

NOTES
Sick of carrying around multiple pairs of ballistic eyewear, or a multitude of lenses to adjust to changes in light? Gatorz Eyewear saves the day by providing clear eye protection that automatically darkens when exposed to UV rays from the sun. This makes for a great glasses option when transitioning from indoor to outdoor, or vice versa, and allows the wearer to maintain eye protection when transitioning from day to night. The lenses are impact tested to withstand two hits from a .15-caliber projectile between 700 and 725 fps without cracking, shattering, or dislodging. An antifog coating keeps vision clear despite abrupt changes in humidity or precipitation. The lenses are oil and grease repellent and provide UV 400 protection. This may be the only pair of protective eyewear you’ll need.
