House in the nice part of town:         $350,000

Top of the line security system:      $3,600

Being safe every time you get home:   Priceless.

Depending on where you live, you might not always be safe, but one thing’s for sure, every time you leave you’ll be OUT!

This 100% hand-woven coconut fiber home plate doormat not only puts a smile on the baseball fans face every time he gets home, it puts 14 cents a day in some underprivileged 8 year-olds pocket after a long day of work.
I’ve always wondered, is home plate called such because it looks like a retarded kids rendition of an upside down house?  And if so, shouldn’t it be called HOWE Plate?… give it a second, you’ll get it.

Alright, so what’s the deal, do these things work?
What the hell do you care?  It’s one more golf toy to add to your collection; and a write-off for the company. Ok, but honestly, aside from having a transponder inside your ball, the V-100 glasses from Visiball (great name by the way) are about as good as it gets. These specs block out about 90% of dark colors and allow shorter wavelengths of light such as whites and yellows to pass through. I guess that means when Pope Benedict goes golfing he can’t use his blue balls.  But, hey, if all else fails you can always use the V-100 spectacles on your next golf trip to check whether or not you should sleep on that hotel comforter.  On a serious note, one of the greatest features of these specs are that they double as fluffy bunny hunting glasses.

Cool, another golf toy. This handy device analyzes you’re swing using tempo, rhythm, backswing length, and club-head speed. Not only that, it’s spot on, last week it told me to leave the range before I killed someone.  One more accidental death and they might rescind my membership.

With feedback from the G6 you can consistently repeat good shots.  Use the Test Mode to analyze consistency or variation in a way you can understand. The watch will determine if you’re an inconsistent swinger, a slow over-swinger, or a short hitter.  The Practice Mode allows you to fine tweak your skills and track progress on specific clubs or club sets.  Were you distracted?  Just mark it Bad and the G6 won’t include it in the summary.  Do you want to see who’s in the lead?  Just glance down at your wrist.  The Game Mode can easily track the stats with four built-in game types, handicap details, and golf course selections.  When you’re done, upload the info to your computer.  Remember, practice doesn’t make perfect. The Suunto G6 Golf Watch does.

Conquer the lake with the Super Fat Cat LCS from Outcast Sporting Gear.  There’s only one thing better than eating raw fish in an overpriced Hollywood parlor, and that’s catching raw fish in the great outdoors; only because catching cooked fish in the great outdoors is really difficult, but you never know what you’ll catch when you’re in the right place at the right time. 
If you like to relax in comfort while you float on the water with a fishing pole and beer, then you need the durability and convenience of the Super Fat Cat LCS.  LCS stands for "Line Control System", which incorporates an inflatable seat and backrest with a new apron system held in place by adjustable stays.  This means you can raise or lower the apron to suit your particular preference  Not only can this adjustable height stripping apron raise the angler out of the water for a drier more comfortable ride, it reduces line friction and tangles, which means smoother casting.

If you enjoy running the trails, you probably also enjoy making it home without sore feet, twisted ankles or ripped Achilles tendons.  You wouldn’t run 10 miles in dress shoes, so why would you run through the woods with plain old running sneakers?  The Montrail GTX lightweight performance hiker is designed for the serious user who likes pushing the pace with or without a pack.  The ridged yet cushioning sole provides support and comfort.  The higher top with extended side shoelace loops provides good ankle stability while the GORE-TEX material adds breathability and protection from water.

The new Tundraline 3 Tent from Eureka is specifically designed for extreme canoeists. With an extra easy set up and a ton of stake loops, this deceptively large tent is convenient and stable in windy conditions.  The reason this is such a great tent for the canoeist is that it’s very stable for wind tunnel nights along the banks of the river.  Second, this only has two poles and a sawn-in-place rain fly which means: you can set up quickly in the rain without getting the interior wet.  Definitely a great tent to have in the lineup for any outdoor enthusiast.

*Attention kayakers, get your own damn tent!

I’ll have a water and a Gatorade, hold the Cancer. 
The million dollar question is "why hasn’t anyone made this before?", it’s such an useful upgrade to the standard water bottle.  The SWIGZ Extreme 2.0 is the second generation of the world’s first dual beverage sports bottle.  Made from recycled material with No BPA, Polycarbonate or PVC’s this water bottle will deliver two kinds of liquid with no brain deterioration- every child’s dream!

The Extreme 2.0 will be available for purchase in a few weeks on the SWIGZ website.  There are four different models to choose from, but all are super bad ass cool, so don’t be afraid of choosing the wrong one.  If you’re extreme you need an extreme sports bottle to keep up, and within the world of sports fluid containers the SWIGZ is King*.

The SWIGZ is composed of durable safe plastic with two separate color coded fluid chambers.  The two sides separate when the base, middle band and top are all taken off.  Each chamber holds 12oz (24oz total).  I love this bottle for the gym and for cycling at night when one of my bottle holders is carrying the battery for my light.  

If you can’t wait a few weeks, send an email to orders@swigz.com for advanced purchase.

*SWIGZ 2.0′s aren’t afraid of heights, lions or British people!
