It's always fun to get something in the mail especially when it comes wrapped in a great presentation. The Tokyobay Men's Slate Watch was no exception, as it came in a stylish box complete with little pillow to keep the watch in place. As for the watch itself, the Slate is a classy everyday or out to dinner watch that's far from boastful. It features a stencil cut out dial and thick leather band in weathered tones, re-enforced with cord stitching around the buckle. This chunky watch dial is heavily inspired by the military stencils on weaponry and ration boxes and has a depth to the face. Stainless steel case and buckle with a stencil cut out method dial, adding depth and dimension to the 3 hands face. Case size is 1 3/4". It also comes in Beige and Grey. You can buy this Tokyobay Men's Slate Watch for a price of $163. ]]> http://www.besportier.com/archives/tokyobay-mens-slate-watch.html http://www.besportier.com/archives/tokyobay-mens-slate-watch.html Watches Fri, 04 May 2012 16:02:29 -0600 We just got the latest Selk'bag 4G Classic Sleeping Bag Suit to review and let me just say we where highly anticipating getting this this fun invention in. The Selk'bag 4G Classic Sleeping Bag Suit comes in an assortment of colors including Forest Green, Yellow Chrome, Chili Pepper, Black, and Carmine. Each bag comes in a handy carry case which lets you pack it down so it doesn't take much room. The bag itself is made from very soft material similar to a down jacket. It's comfortable to walk around in or lie around in, whichever you're doing. We thought it was cool how the new Velcro straps provide a comfortable fit and prevent you from slipping inside the bag, and the new and improved quick-release hand closure system lets you use your hands or close off the bag. This being the 4th Generation, the Selk'bag Classic is their best fitting, most technically advanced Selk'bag made to date. This Sleeping bag suit is Rated to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes it great for sleeping on the trail, camping, roadtrips etc. It's also an excellent solution for those who are uncomfortable in traditional mummy or rectangular sleeping bags. You can buy this for a price of $159.]]> http://www.besportier.com/archives/selkbag-4g-classic-sleeping-bag-suit.html http://www.besportier.com/archives/selkbag-4g-classic-sleeping-bag-suit.html Camping Survival Gear Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:04:22 -0600 We just got a pair of these Skora Form Running Shoes in the mail in Natural/Black/Red just in time for a 5k race. Skora Form Running Shoes come in a fancy box (the type that has a magnet built-in on the flap) and boast the same expensive/sporty look you'd expect from $195 shoes. "The FORM has a full leather upper that features Pittards Armor-Tan Goatskin leather with Pittards WR100X Sheepskin leather lining. It is designed with asymmetric lacing and no-tongue construction to provide a glove-like fit and premium performance. "FORM is built on the R01 platform composed of the REALFIT last, developed to offer a unique anatomical fit that closely matches the foot's shape. The R01 platform also features a zero-drop outsole/midsole with minimal cushioning and a curved section profile in both the forefoot and heel. This allows for optimal natural movement and performance." I really liked the fact that the heel is adjustable with a velcro strap because it's very annoying when you have that extra inch in the back that is loose especially before a big race. The shoes are very lightweight and come in at 8.2oz/235g which is great for making it that last mile. Also, the laces have a lot of texture and don't untie very easily. I really enjoyed running in them and think these are all-around great shoes made from the highest quality components. These Skora shoes come in Black and Natural and can be your for a price of $195. ]]> http://www.besportier.com/archives/skora-form-running-shoes.html http://www.besportier.com/archives/skora-form-running-shoes.html Shoes Sandals Sat, 07 Apr 2012 13:02:12 -0600 These Cynthia Rowley for Roxy Sporty Wetsuits are part of the fashion designer's new collection and bring a classic sporty style to the sport.

The Adidas Jumpsuit for pooches was re-stitched from a life-size two piece Adidas jumpsuit and tailored to specifically to fit her pet Rocky. The whole thing turns out great.

The Caterpillar Deep Ocean Divers' Watch screams sporty style and would probably make a good anti rabid dog defender in case of apocalyptic or trailer park type incidents. And if the dog somehow developed underwater swimming abilities, you have up to 20 ATM (Water resistant up to 200 meters/ 660 Feet) to make a deep getaway. Its fresh and has a price that defends it's quality. Largely masculine the gift box took us forever to open tho, and it felt like Zoolander was being shot it the office. (Remember the scene with the mac and the dinosaur bones?) It also comes with robust dials which are easy to use and other features like a Stainless steel case, Black branded rubber strap, Unidirectional black bezel, Date display, Screw in case back, and 3-hand quartz analog movement.
