Faherty has become one of our favorite brands for their chill looks and comfortable, carefully chosen fabrics. Their vintage-inspired boardshorts, for example, easily made our list of summer favorites. This week, online retailer Huckberry has select Faherty pieces on sale, including some great picks for fall. Founded by twin brothers, Mike and Alex, Faherty draws on the brothers’ upbringing in New Jersey surf town of Spring Lake. They were drawn to both their father’s Italian suits and to vintage Hawaiian shirts, and the brothers have brought a love for quality fabrics and craftsmanship to their brand....

Trying to get pants that are comfortable (yet not sloppy) can be a real challenge. There’s nothing worse than being stuck in an uncomfortable pair of pants for a morning commute, or spending all day in the office with a pair that digs into your bellybutton. Olivers has a pair of pants designed to not just be the most comfortable pants you own (aside from sweatpants) but look put-together, too....

The Outdoor Retailer Summer Show, like its winter counterpart, is an oscillating mass of innovative gear, passionate outdoor enthusiasts and iconic brands mixed in with the newest of the new. One could spend a week roaming the Colorado Convention Center halls and not see everything. We spent the last couple days roaming the aisles, on the hunt for new products and updates meant to keep us where we belong: in the outdoors....

Three truly wild new releases all about the (arguably) best state: Alaska. Book This Is Chance! by Jon Mooallem In 1964, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in North America rocked Anchorage, Alaska, splitting streets apart, triggering tsunamis, and killing 139 people. Mooallem’s vivid, read-in-one-sitting book of reportage centers on Genie Chance, a part-time radio journalist. For 59 hours, the Texas native manned the radio mic, helping to guide the city through chaos and becoming a state legend in the process....

It’s easy to think you’re doing everything right in the gym, but you’re probably making some stupid, easily avoidable mistakes. Certain exercises are more technically demanding than others, and learning how to perfect them takes some time. Getting “comfortable” with certain movements can sometimes allow a lifter to “slip” into form that’s less than perfect. Not to worry, we’ve got your back. The Rookie Mistakes series serves as a call to action for lifters of all experience levels to practice perfect form on the road to achieving fitness success....

Bottom line: This thing works. And at twelve bucks, it’s a bargain. The Yootech features Multifunctional Intelligent Protect Technology. That means it provides temperature control to prevent overheating, surge protection to protect your vices from unexpected power surges, and short-circuit prevention, extending your phone’s battery life. Just set your device on the Yootech, and it starts to suck up the energy. An LED light indicates that it’s charging properly (it runs off after a few seconds, so the Yootech is totally bedside-friendly)....

If you want to be physically fit decades down the road—and lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and dementia—take up tennis, join a soccer league, or train for a triathlon now. Middle-aged men who do any kind of physical activity are three times more likely than sedentary guys to be active when they’re older, according to a study in BMJ Open. It makes sense. If you get into a sport, work to improve your skills, and find friends who share your passion, you’re more likely to keep it up as you age....

From Samsung’s Gear Fit 2 Pro and Gear Sport to the Fitbit Ionic, and of course the Apple Watch Series 3, it seems like every major tech company is coming out with a new fitness tracker or smartwatch these days. But while the use of fitness trackers is on the rise, certain characteristics—like age and income—determine how likely a person is to purchase and wear one in the first place. People who pick up fitness trackers are likely to use them for at least six months, but those people are also most likely to be young and have higher incomes, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania....

I DON’T WANT TO take off my shorts. I’m standing with 17 other guys at a conference center in rural West Virginia, where the New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA) is underway. The weekend-long retreat is designed to spark opportunities for self-examination and growth for guys who are struggling with what it means to be a man, and 24 hours in, things have been going pretty well. But now the retreat leaders want us to blindfold ourselves and get naked—that is, absent religious or “other” objections....

PEBBLE BEACH, CA – The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is ground zero for some of the world’s most peerless classics cars, but it’s also a spot where top luxury brands unveil striking new sheetmetal every August on central California’s Monterey Peninsula. MORE: First Drive: 2017 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG S Cabriolet Read article As they’ve done in years past, Mercedes-Benz debuted an egotistically proportioned concept car at this year’s event. Dubbed the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, this delightfully lengthy two-seater is an open-air take on last year’s low-slung coupe concept....

Earlier this fall, indoor performance cycling company Wattbike finally brought the Atom, its most advanced cycling trainer yet, to U.S. riders. To complement the U.S. launch, Wattbike has just released simulated rides of eight iconic road climbs from New York to Hawaii in its native training app, the Wattbike Hub. The thought of hopping on a home trainer to tackle a favorite road climb, or prepare for an upcoming cycling trip is endlessly alluring....

Though clinical studies relate that food and acne do not have a significant correlation, more and more dermatologists are beginning to recognize that the cleaner diet you have, the clearer your skin will be. Along with drinking plenty of water, diets high in fruits and vegetables provide your body with the vitamins that are crucial in the development of an acne-free face. On the other hand, foods high in fat and sugar can mess with your complexion....

Lathering up that buoyant puff of shaving cream may be more of a comforting ritual than a win for skin health. You might like the invigorating sting, but many harsh shaving creams from the aerosol can will actually strip your skin of oil with drying alcohol and leave it wrecked, despite its fluffy foam facade. Instead, our latest fixation is BladeButter’s ShaveJelly ($7), whose paraben and sulfate-free formula gives you a stellar glide and sets you up for a close shave....

Home to over 1,200 square miles of protected land, Yosemite National Park is one of those places that tops bucket lists of outdoor enthusiasts of all types. Climbers, hikers, photographers, and families from across the globe travel to the Sierra Nevadas to awe at the towering granite faces, giant Sequoias, and cascading waterfalls that the park is world-famous for. Although I grew up in California – and am in no way immune to the lure of the beauty of the park – I’ve only visited a couple of times....

Running 400 meters doesn’t seem so bad, right? It’s just one quick lap around a high school track. But if you take that 400-meter route, tilt it to a near-vertical angle, and ratchet it up to a 6,000-foot elevation, it becomes a different ballgame. That’s exactly what you can expect from the Red Bull 400 Championship taking place in Park City, Utah — an epic, lung-busting, calf-destroying race that, depending on who you ask, is the hardest race on Earth....

If you want to lose weight, you’ve gotta keep track of your weight. If you don’t know what you’re clocking in at every day, you’re just tilting at windmills. You need numbers every day. And if you pick up the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale, you will get very accurate numbers. There are plenty of bathroom scales in the world you could pick up. But they aren’t all made the same way....

On the big screen, Liam Neeson has fought wolves, defeated countless terrorists, and survived a plane hijacking. So, really, it was only a matter of time before he’d jump off of an exploding train. In the final trailer for The Commuter, we get one more look at Neeson’s latest film, in which a seemingly innocuous conversation with a stranger thrusts him into a bizarre social experiment: He is told to find out which of the commuters on the train “do not belong” before the train reaches its final destination....

The second release of Eighth Generation Jim Beam Distiller Freddie Noe’s Little Book whiskey is just as unique and weirdly good as the first. A blend of American and Canadian whiskeys, it’s a heretical but tasty whiskey, and is surprisingly easy to sip at 118 proof. But to really appreciate it, you’ve got to know a little more about what’s in the bottle. 39 Great Whiskeys You Can Actually Find at Your Liquor Store...
