The sound of [B&O's H6 headphones](http://www.beoplay.com/products/beoplayh6) ($400) is detailed and perfectly balanced. And those leather pads aren't just gorgeous, they're unbelievably soft. Headbanging has never been this cozy. (Expand the gallery for more details.)*—Michael Calore*

I don't drink wuss coffee. I drink man coffee, and [Stanley's Stainless Steel Classic Mug](http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Stainless-Steel-Classic-Mug/dp/B0019D9H2O) ($20) is as manly as a mug gets.*—Michael Calore*

[Patagonia's Nano-Air](http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-nano-air-jacket?p=84250-0) jacket ($250) comes with a unique type of insulation that can be paired with super stretchy, open-weave fabric. Unlike other puffy jackets, this allows excess heat and moisture to escape.*—Jakob Schiller*

Fashioned from one humongous piece of cow hide, Saddleback's ruggedly handsome [Waterbag](http://www.saddlebackleather.com/waterbag?quantity=1&custcol1=M&custcol3=Natura%20Pigskin&custcol15=Current) is expensive, but it's the last weekend bag you'll ever need to buy.*—Bryan Gardiner*

[Velvetwire’s Powerslayer](https://web.velvetwire.com/shop/powerslayer) ($39) is a smarter wall wart: It automatically switches off the power when a device, plugged into its USB port, is fully charged.*—Christina Bonnington*

[Aether's Compass motorcycle pants](http://www.aetherapparel.com/collections/mens/products/compass) ($475) are made from heavyweight canvas and reinforced with D30 armor that stiffens to protect on impact. They offer up serious pro-level protection that allows you to blessedly look like an average Joe.*—Joe Brown*

Ploom's new [Pax Diamond vaporizer](http://www.ploom.com/pax/) ($250) is dead simple to operate—just click the mouthpiece to turn on the heat. The entire apparatus fits nicely into your front pocket, too, which is great because you want to be stealthy with your pipe tobacco.*—Mat Honan*

[Ikea's Pendant Lamp](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60251123/#/60251123) ($70) is a bizarrely elegant cross between thistle down and the Death Star. It's also a mechanical marvel: Instead of dimming the lights electrically, you pull its cords and the entire body explodes to change from a mysterious mood-lit orb to a brightly dappled cubist sculpture.*—Liana Bandziulis*

Hex's [soft-shell briefcase](http://www.shophex.com/gallery-laptop-duffel) ($100) has dedicated, padded pockets for a laptop, an iPad, and all of my power cords and accessories. Even with all that stashed inside, I've still got room for my camera, my rain jacket, and a sandwich.*—Michael Calore*

I needed a tent I could set up while wearing fancy-night-out clothes. (Don’t ask.) After a quick trip to the Internet, I was pumping up Kelty's [luxurious 4-person Airlift 4 tent](http://www.kelty.com/p-798-airlift-4.aspx?category=tents-shelters) ($440) in my dinner jacket. Its supporting “poles,” tubes inflated to 7PSi with the included pump, make pitching a two-minute process.*—Joe Brown*
