If a product doesn’t satisfy a consumer’s needs, the consumer doesn’t buy the product again. If a product doesn’t satisfy a designer’s needs, the designer takes it as a challenge to redesign the product to be the best version of itself. Tired of how flawed his luggage was, Dr. Ken Nah set out to redesign the travel necessities to a limit where nothing could defeat them. Bad weather, bad handling, bad circumstances, there’s no defeating the SHAPL, because it was designed to be lightweight yet spacious, waterproof, incredibly durable, come with top-notch security measures, proximity tracking, and customizability that makes the luggage your be-all-end-all travel pick.
Available in three sizes, the SHAPL comes in a backpack format and two sizes of suitcases. The backpack packs a spacious design with a dedicated laptop compartment (which can hold even 17″ laptops) and roomy interiors with enough segregation to pack all your belongings in their own special areas for easy access (including a special power-bank pocket that lets you plug your phone directly into the bank stashed in your backpack). For your valuables, the backpack comes with its own anti-theft compartment that’s virtually impossible to access by others when you’re wearing the backpack. The SHAPL backpack features a durable, water-resistant outer fabric and employs water-resistant zippers to keep your electronics and belongings safe from inclement weather. A special luggage strap allows you to fasten the backpack to your wheel-in luggage, while a Bluetooth tracker lets you know if your bag ever leaves the tracking radius of your smartphone.
If the SHAPL backpack was built to provide the perfect cabin-baggage experience, its larger suitcases make for perhaps the most streamlined experience in check-in luggage design. Made from incredibly tough polycarbonate, the SHAPL is virtually indestructible and features a handle that’s practically unbreakable and wheels designed by Hinomoto, known for their ability to withstand pretty much any sort of stress. Armed with double-coil zippers that are tough to break into, the SHAPL’s larger bags also pack a TSA lock and Bluetooth tracking to make sure that your bag’s contents are safe and sound. What’s more, the bag also comes with its own set of alphanumeric stickers that let you personalize your luggage to make it not only functionally, but also visually stand out from the rest.
Literally crossing every pain-point of conventional luggage off its list, the SHAPL isn’t just a functionally superior luggage set. With its tracking abilities and rather innovative customization package, it’s YOUR functionally superior luggage that was designed with a user experience that makes it a blind pick for any sort of traveling you have in mind. Beware, never cross a designer!
It may seem like quite a closely contended match between different earbuds and the companies making them. Each of them have their own USPs. Some are compatible with all mobile platforms, others boast of incredible battery lives, and some work as fitness trackers that sit within your ears. Now, the Aria by xFyro, claims to be one of the world’s only truly wireless earphones with an IPx67 waterproof rating.
Let’s understand first what the IPx67 rating actually is. The IP Code, or the Ingress Protection Code determines the ability of a product (usually electronics) to protect itself from intrusion by elements from the outside, especially dust or water. The first digit in the rating determines protection against dust. A rating of 6 usually means the product is completely impervious to dust of all sizes. The second number in the rating determines liquid ingress. The 7 rating in the 67 means the Aria can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter tested for a period of 30 minutes. The IPx67 rating on the Aria therefore allows it to be used while in the gym (it being impervious to sweat), in the shower, or even while swimming in a pool.
Aside from its water and dust resistance, the Aria leverages battery-related advancements over the past few years to provide a stunning 32 hours of playback time. The earbuds themselves work for 8 hours continuously (that’s the equivalent of 5+ movies or more than 160 songs), and the slick, hockey-puck case gives you an additional 24 hours of charging time. The Aria also comes with Bluetooth 5.0, the latest standard that allows for instant pairing by simply bringing the earphones near your smartphone. With crystal quality sound that’s unfettered, the Aria also has a capacitive touch surface that lets you control music playback as well as activate the voice assistant on your phone.
Designed to work across multiple mobile platforms, the Aria is, to frame things accurately, a slight upgrade in all departments. With a significantly better battery, better audio courtesy a 16mm driver (more than thrice as large as the Airpods), better waterproofing, and a universal approach, it may just be the wireless earphones to beat!
Just like every blade needs a sheath to protect it from the elements, the PyroVault is, as its name suggests, an exoskeleton for your lighter. Designed to let you take your lighter to places you’d carry your EDC, the PyroVault allows your lighter to be weatherproof and even waterproof, making it perfect for inclement weather, or camping outdoors. An incredibly resilient polymer outer body can withstand heat, water, snow, dust, and comes with an O-Ring that seals the lighter when closed, turning it waterproof. The O-Ring seal also prevents vapor leakage, letting your lighter last longer.
Designed and manufactured in USA, the Pyrovault accepts standard Zippo-style lighter inserts including both fluid and butane torch models, turning classy lighters into rugged firestarters that can withstand any sort of conditions you may expect outdoors… and it even comes with a MOLLE/PALS compatible clip that you can use to fasten the Pyrovault to your pocket, jacket, or even backpack.

There’s always one guy in the office who has no regard for refrigerator or microwave ethics. You need to make sure you write your name on your food or it disappears… or you’re left with a funky microwave because someone heated leftover seafood in it. Next time, you can just leave a post-it note around and know that rules will be followed. Post-It Extreme was made for this express purpose. Meant more for leaving notes that stick longer than for your impromptu brainstorming sessions, the Extreme 3″ x 3″ sticky notes are water resistant and durable. Sporting the same repositionable glue like its predecessor, the Extreme notes won’t crumple or peel off due to moisture, making them perfect for use not only on the outside but even inside the fridge, or in the shower to remind bae to clean up the residual hair after a bath. Avoid confrontation… leave a friendly, durable reminder!
