I'm not as into toys as some dogs are, but I seriously love [Larry the Lobster](http://www.amazon.com/Tuffy-Larry-Lobster-Sea-Creature/dp/B0010Y5G7W) ($10). He's pretty tough (eight out of 10 on [Tuffy's Tuff Scale](https://dogtoys-info.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/91oql-v-PML._SL1500_.jpg)), but also soft and really floppy. I like to run while vigorously shaking Lobsty around with my head so that his squeaky claws flap around and hit me in the face.—[Hogan T. Dog](http://instagram.com/hogantdog)

I’m a considerate guy; I like to game with headphones on. But not everything I play demands an enormous 7.1 rig and an amplifier. That’s where [Astro's A38 Bluetooth Headset](http://www.astrogaming.com/a38-bluetooth-headset/a38-wireless-headset.html) ($230) comes in handy: svelte, strong, and versatile enough to go from the PC to the phone without missing a beep.*—Peter Rubin*

Muscle recovery and flexibility is integral to staying one step ahead of those damn Millennials. But even if you hate foam rollers like I do, you’ll be amazed by the configurable [ensō Roller](https://evofitforlife.com/ens%C5%8D-roller-muscle-roller) ($69). All the benefit, *way* less of the pain. *—Peter Rubin*

Snow Peak’s [Flexible Insulated Shirt](http://snowpeak.com/collections/mens-tops/products/sw-14au001) ($290) is great for chopping wood on cold mornings or watching football on Sunday afternoons. Synthetic insulation keeps things cozy and a stretchy outer material ensures you can swing an axe or stretch out on the couch.*—Jakob Schiller*

I'm a full-on trackpad devotee, but I often have to use a machine with a mouse. And no mouse is easier on my hand than Razer's new [DeathAdder Chroma](http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-deathadder-chroma) ($70). Comfy, nimble, and it lights up in crazy colors.*‹Michael Calore*

I think about how much I love [The North Face Thunder jacket](http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/women-39-s-thunder-jacket_2.html) ($249) almost every time I put it on—and I've been putting it on for over a decade now. It's an 800-fill down jacket, and very warm. It's also super lightweight and works beautifully layered under a shell on cold winter days.*—Betsy Mason*

In a smart cross-pollination move, Thule inserted the ratcheted rear wheel strap from a bike rack into the yoke system of the Capstone 32L ($159, available in Feb) pack to make it easily adjustable for different length torsos. Other companies use Velcro, but this is faster and more efficient.*—Jakob Schiller*

Choking down a cup of brown garbage water is never fun—particularly while traveling. Thankfully, Hario's $49 [Ceramic Mill](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EEGDSM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) has freed me from the tyranny of stale coffee. I bring this manual burr grinder almost everywhere I go now (along with a batch of freshly roasted beans and an AeroPress). It's simple to use, lets me dial in the grind size, and produces consistently delicious java, regardless of the brewing method.*—Bryan Gardiner*

I don't want my daughter drinking out of plastic baby bottles, even if they say they're BPA-free. That’s why we’ve turned to metal bottles, like the [9oz Kid Kanteen](http://www.kleankanteen.com/products/kid/kid-kanteen-baby-bottle.php) from Klean Kanteen ($21).*—Jakob Schiller*

This [Teensy](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/index.html)-turned-necklace ($19.80) is more than a chic tech statement piece: it's a functional microcontroller with powers for good... or evil.* —Liana Bandziulis*

Trek bills the [Emonda SLR 10](http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/road/performance_race/emonda/emonda_slr_10_h1/) ($15,750) as the lightest production bike available. At under 11 pounds, that’s certainly believable. The price, however, is unbelievable.*—Mark McClusky*
