The Nest Brush Is A Self-Dispensing UV-C Toothbrush

Body grooming and oral health care are both parts of good hygiene and whether we like it or not, it is important to also take care of our pearly whites to avoid certain diseases. But when it can be time-consuming and worse, a great contributor to plastic wastes. What with the toothpaste tube and disposed toothbrushes ending up in landfills. Thankfully, the Nest Brush solves that problem.

This ingenious oral care kit consists of several items that make brushing not just fun but also sustainable. It has a minimalistic silicon toothbrush that operates manually but has the power of an electric one. The handle has a built-in toothpaste refillable container, which means no more packing those tubes during travels. It can store 30 ml of paste which is good for a month of brushing.

A press of the button on the handle pushes out a sufficient amount of toothpaste through internal channels into the silicon brush head. The silicone valve prevents the paste from drying and leaking while its ergonomic design makes it easy to clean the container from the inside.

Moreover, the Nest Brush comes with replaceable heads and a magnetic brush stand equipped with a UV sterilizer. It only takes less than a minute to sterilize the toothbrush using two powerful UV-C LED lights. The head of the stand also protects your toothbrush from dirty water splashes.

Of course, when it comes to travel, this one also has a travel case with a UV sterilizer. Simply put the brush inside and the sterilizing process starts immediately. It is battery controlled which is good for two months. Best of all, the Nest Brush uses soft food-grade hypoallergenic silicone bristles to make brushing painless.

Razer Adds Chroma RGB Lighting To The 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless Pro

Razer prolific use of RGB lighting on almost all of its products has been the subject of jokes among the gaming community. In fact, the feature is what fans look for each time the company launches something new. After giving the Hammerhead earphones the TWS treatment, the brand if finally releasing a model with its Chroma technology.

Back when it entered the smartphone market in 2017, many pointed out a missed opportunity when the device shipped without a backlit triple snake logo. Eager to please its legion of followers, the second-generation handset was packing RGB lighting.

History repeats itself once more as we check out the 2021 version of the Hammerhead True Wireless Pro. The latest pair still retains the stem which the tech industry refers to as an attempt to copy the silhouette of the Apple AirPods. Still, it’s just a minor gripe if you look at the bigger picture.

As we were hinting before, the iconic serpent emblem is now flashier than before. With Razer’s Chroma RGB system built in, users can personalize their Hammerhead True Wireless Pro with up to 16.8 million colors to choose from. Tweak the settings for different lighting effects to stand out from the crowd.

Hybrid active noise canceling with THX high-fidelity acoustic enhancements give you an immersive listening experience. To help during long listening sessions, Razer includes three SecureSeal and three SmoothComfort silicone tips. There’s also a pair of Comply foam tips for optimal comfort.

The Activate Gaming Mode setting prevents latency issues, so game audio matches the action on screen. The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro promises a 20-hour battery life depending on settings and usage patterns.

No matter where your adventures take you, nothing beats tactical backpacks to protect your gear. Subtech Sports’ Pro Drybag 3.0 delivers that and more so you get peace of mind and enjoy the adventure ahead.

There’s a reason why it’s called “the world’s most extreme drybag.” It is IP68 waterproof, meaning it is submersible down to 165 feet. It even floats when fully packed so it doubles as a lifebuoy too. The material used is Hypalon, the same found on military inflatable boats. This gives the bag its impact protection to keep gear protected for bumps and other rough contacts.

Meanwhile, an airtight zipper keeps the interior protected from air and water condensation. The Subtech Sports’ Pro Drybag 3.0 is for extreme adventures. As such it is lightweight at just 1685 grams and boasts an ergonomic design that fits along the back and spine regardless of body size and shape.

The New Balance Niobium Concept 2 Can Switch Between A Trail-Ready Sandal Or Mule

When you’re ideal summer activity is hitting the trails and taking a dip in remote spots away from the crowd, then read on. No matter how difficult it is to travel right now due to the pandemic, the spirit of adventure lives on. New Balance wants to equip you for the journey with its Niobium Concept 2.

With the controversy surrounding wearing sandals with socks, we’re not planning on angering the fashion critics around us. New Balance probably knows it too and thus creates a hybrid footwear that straddles the fine line between shoe, sandal, and something else.

The Niobium Concept 2 may look like your average trail-ready sneaker, but it’s apparently not. New Balance even refers to it as a sandal in the product description. We’re not going to debate with the manufacturer because these sandals can transform into mules in a jiffy.

Moreover, you can quickly detach the heel strap via the Velcro closures on each side. Still, we recommend you keep these on when trekking over rough terrain. The breathable mesh and suede leather upper keep the Niobium Concept 2 snug yet comfortable.

For the best fit, just adjust the buckle fasteners. It’s outdoor-ready thanks to the Fresh Foam Hierro midsole with Vibram outsole. New Balance likewise adds reflective accents on the heels and toes to aid in low-light visibility.

New Balance really did a great job with the design here. There are two colorways available for the Niobium Concept 2. We prefer the darker tones on the Pigment with natural indigo variant, but the Incense with chocolate brown is just as stylish. As of this writing, the Snow Peak version is no longer in stock.

4DFWD Pulse: Adidas introduces another pair of running shoes with 4D technology

A couple of years back, Adidas caught our attention when it announced its partnership with Parley for the Oceans. This collaboration brought about sustainable footwear that uses recycled plastic and other reusable materials. A few months ago, the 4DFWD made its debut and now we have a new model called the 4DFWD Pulse.

You can think of it as a spin-off of the original with enough tweaks to warrant a lineup of its own. It borrows just enough elements from the original but introduces a new silhouette and a more affordable price point. Although it may seem like a downgrade of sorts, these running shoes still pack the brand’s latest technology.

Adidas assures us that its eco-friendly initiative is not lost in the process. As such, the 4DFWD Pulse features the company’s Primegreen textile for the upper. It may not feel like the sock-like Primeknit on the original, but it provides a snug yet comfortable fit.

Years of running data give us the 4D midsole, which helps improve performance during your run. The activewear manufacturer uses a proprietary 3D printing system TO create the distinct lattice patterns you see on the heel cradle.

The angle is precision-engineered to cushion every impact and push you forward with every step. Then there’s the high-traction rubber outsole that grips almost every surface. The 4DFWD Pulse uses a lace closure system and features the Adidas badge on the tongue.

Three Stripes branding are visible on the midfoot section of the upper in both medial and lateral sides. A textured overlay on the heel counter extends all the way up to the heel tab. You can get the 4DFWD Pulse in four colorways.

Muzen Audio Is Building A Premium Rugged TWS Speaker Called The Cybershell

With its work on The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, gamers held CD Projekt Red in high regard. After years of development and delays, Cyberpunk 2077 was finally released in September 2020. Sadly game-breaking glitches rendered it almost unplayable on multiple platforms. Despite the disastrous launch, its massive marketing campaign continues to influence designs like that of the CyberShell.

What looks like a fancy futuristic desktop decoration is a fully functional true wireless speaker. Just like how modern TWS earbuds work, you can pair two for stereo sound. So far, we like how Muzen Audio went with physical controls instead of touch.

Moreover, It just feels more immersive when you can mechanically toggle various settings. The CyberShell measures 3.6” x 2.2” x 7.5” (W x D x H) and weighs about 2.3 lbs. The manufacturer is also taking into consideration the build quality here. To match the striking and edgy aesthetics of the speaker, plastic is a no-go.

Instead, they’re using a zinc alloy metal structure, which really makes it a premium option. According to its crowdfunding page, this likewise helps the speaker’s stability and acoustics. For versatility, hook it up to your source via USB-C, 3.5 mm aux cable, or go cordless with Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity.

Meanwhile, moisture won’t be a problem thanks to the IPX5 waterproofing. Our ideal setup would be to grab two CyberShell speakers for our desktop. The RGB lighting makes it a great match for any high-end gaming rig.

The 3,100 mAh lithium-ion battery should last up to 13 hours with average use. Muzen Audio is also offering a Shell Dock, which we’re guessing is for charging the speakers. The first batches of the Cybershell speakers are shipping out later this year.

Suunto’s sleek blackout Core Alpha Stealth watch works with night-vision goggles

When you need a reliable wearable for even the most challenging outdoor adventures, Suunto is a brand would talk about. For its newest release – the Core Alpha Stealth – it’s crafted with specific types of users in mind. According to the manufacturer, what sets it apart is how users can remain inconspicuous when the lights go out.

Aside from the military, we can think of law enforcement, hunters, and documentary filmmakers as those who will benefit from its discrete functionality. As the name already implies, the key feature here is superior visibility even in the absence of a light source.

This comes from the red backlight that illuminates the 2-inch dot matrix display. Even with a pair of night-vision goggles on, the Core Alpha Stealth will remain readable minus the blinding glare from other models. This is handy during tactical operations, hunting at night, and capturing skittish nocturnal wildlife on film.

Suunto says each watch undergoes a rigorous testing phase and meets demanding military standards. The 49.5-mm composite case is paired with an aluminum bezel and mineral crystal for lightweight durability. Despite the chunky outline, it only weighs 2.36 ounces.

Even with regular use, its user-replaceable CR2032 battery cell should last up to 12 months. A barometer, compass, and altimeter provide all the data you need when the situation calls for it. Moister is never an issue here as the Core Alpha Stealth boasts ingress protection up to 100 feet.

What makes this so appealing for us is the blackout colorway which lives to the monicker. To complete the tactical vibe, Suunto pairs the Core Alpha Stealth with a black NATO strap. It may look like one but take note that this is not a smartwatch.

Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler Is A Versatile Addition To Any Outdoor Eats

Coolers are synonymous with camping, picnics at the park, backyard BBQ, or a day at the beach. It is a wonder to haul around regardless of weight and size because it offers storage for food and drinks. But oftentimes, they are made of plastic and this is where Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler beats the rest.

This camping gear brings sustainably to mind with its recyclable construction. Instead of plastic, it uses corrosion-resistant aluminum for its outer housing. It also uses bamboo for its side handle grips and natural rubber gasket. Meanwhile, stainless steel makes up its inner housing. Stainless steel is non-toxic because it does not produce chemicals when exposed to water. It is also known for its durability and is easy to clean.

Dubbed as the “world’s first recyclable cooler,” Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler uses 100% biodegradable material for its insulation. As its name entails, it uses wool to keep food and drinks frosty. Plus, sheep’s wool is antifungal and proven to absorb and neutralize harmful and odorous substances.

It even has a bamboo cutting board built right into its lid to use for chopping or serve food and a built-in sandwich tray. The cooler opens with a tackle-box-style hinge to support both cutting and retrieving of items stored inside.

Storage-wise, Wool Street’s Wooly Eco-Friendly Cooler can store 52 quarts. It can hold 78 cans of beer and keep items cold for a max of three days thanks to the wool insulation. It also comes with a side drainage hole compatible with a standard American garden hose to flush out melted ice easily. It may not be cooler with wheels, but it’s light enough at 18.3 lbs. and compact at 24.6″ L x 14.9″ W.

Play longer, cooler, and in comfort with GameSir’s F8 Pro Snowgon mobile cooling grip

Video games is a lucrative business and may very well continue to be until the end of time. It all started at the arcades, shifted to people’s homes, and then came handheld gaming. These days, smartphone gaming is at an all-time high and GameSir is ready to enhance our experience. With the F8 Pro Snowgon, you can push it to the limit.

As manufacturers build even more powerful gaming handsets, the heat eventually becomes an issue. Even with all the advanced cooling systems such as heatsinks, vapor chambers, and fans, it’s not enough. This is where GameSir steps in with its mobile cooling grip to help out gamers.

What we like about the F8 Pro Snowgon is how it addresses other aspects of mobile gaming as well. Before we go into detail about that, let’s focus on what this accessory brings to the table. The system uses a combination of components to draw heat away from the device.

These are a 7-blade fan, an aluminum alloy cooling column, a thermoelectric cooler module, a cold plate, and a thermally conductive silicone pad. Just plug it in, toggle the switch, and watch it come to life as the RGB lighting shines from within. You can almost immediately feel how cold it gets.

What comes next is ergonomics as the comfortable grips stretch out and clamp down securely on your smartphone. Then there’s the detachable joystick for games that demand precisions. Finally, the built-in kickstand is there when you need it. Please note that you must plug in the F8 Pro Snowgon to a power source via USB-C for it to work.

DJI’s Mini SE is is a compact yet feature-packed drone for novices and professionals

Drone technology has certainly come a long way. In the early days, you needed to grasp the nuances of the controls so you don’t crash it. Now, sensors coupled with advanced algorithms can practically fly your quadcopters with little to no intervention. If you’re interested, gets started with the DJI Mini SE and have fun.

These days, flying drones are no longer just a form of recreation. Creative professionals now mostly use them to take breathtaking aerial shots or record thrilling chase scenes. DJI’s latest model – the Mini SE – is a compact but capable gadget that even a novice can effortlessly operate.

No matter how confident you are, however, we highly recommend that you take it out for a spin first. Given the varying weight and sizes, not all drones handle the same out of the box. Therefore, it’s best to familiarize yourself first before you fly it in public.

At less than 9 ounces, it practically weighs as much as an average smartphone. When not in use, it folds down to a handy 138 × 81 × 58 mm (LxWxH). With the propellers deployed, the DJI Mini SE measures 245 x 289 x 56 mm.

GoPro users might find the lack of mounting options a letdown, but DJI arms it with a camera on a 3-axis motorized gimbal. You can take crisp 12-megapixel still images and record buttery smooth 2.7K video. The maximum transmission range is around two miles, while its 2,600 mAh battery is good for up to 30 minutes of flight.

Now you can enjoy some benefits of a professional-grade drone in a smaller package. DJI also offers optional add-ons to get the best out of your Mini SE. We recommend the propeller guards, extra batteries, and the Two-Way Charging Hub.

REEF introduces its classy Paipo sandals for sustainable summer footwear

You’re probably reading this right now by the pool or at the beach. Summer is still here and excursions, cool beverages, and barbecues are a must. Of course, we recommend that you take all the necessary precautions due to the pandemic, but we encourage you to enjoy it. Sandals are the footwear of choice and REEF is introducing its most premium yet – the Paipo.

At $150, this is not your average flip-flop and there’s a pretty awesome reason behind it. Perhaps in an effort to explore more sustainable alternatives REEF finds they can try to go with different materials instead. It’s not the first to do as Adidas, Reebok, and Converse debuted green initiatives in the past.

Instead of upcycling and recycling, REEF goes for the biodegradable option. The last time we talked about a classy pair of sandals from the Carlsbad, California-based group was the Spackler. Although it also uses leather in the construction, the rest of its parts are mostly synthetic.

The Paipo, on the other hand, goes classy all the way. Give your feet the luxe treatment with its full-grain leather surfaces. The company is sourcing it from tanneries rated silver and gold by the Leather Working Group. The strap features the brand’s emblem in metal hardware, while the rest of the details are from laser etching.

What follows is the addition of real wood elements that wrap around the heel of the sandals. For sophisticated comfort, REEF injects renewable bio-based Braskem EVA foam into the footbed. You can get the Paipo in black or brown and feel good about its minimal impact on the environment. Too bad the bottle opener feature is not included.

Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker Is Designed For The Outdoor Enthusiast

When you can’t decide on a pair of footwear to bring to a run, hike, or walks in the urban jungle, then you can settle for Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker. This versatile gear makes it easy to switch from day shoes to running shoes in seconds.

Described as “a reimagined legacy shoe born out of the outdoors,” this pair of durable and quality footwear takes you anywhere your feet can carry you. Uphill or downhill, or on any terrain, you can rest assured that this supports and provides comfort no matter the ground condition. That’s because it uses industry-leading tech and city style to provide you with a pair of shoes that can resist water and stain.

Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker comes in a woven textile upper for breathability. It has a suede overlay finished with Omni-Shield treatment for water and stain resistance. This way your feet stay clean and dry during walks in the snow or under a downpour. Meanwhile, proprietary Techlite+ provides the midsole its responsive cushioning and stability. This allows you to walk, run, or jump in comfort knowing that the tech ensures extra-light comfort and faster, more durable rides.

The outsole, on the other hand, uses the advanced traction from the Omni-Grip rubber. This makes for great running or climbing shoes too as every tread on steep or rugged paths is safe thanks to its strong grip. Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker not only feels great but also looks great in its various offerings of mixed colors. These include a combo of black, dark grey, stone green and shark (looks camo), and black and dark grey.
