JakPak Jacket Is A Sleeping Bag, Emergency Shelter And A Tent

When you need to camp for the night while trekking in the woods, having both a tent and a sleeping bag does sound awesome.  Carrying them around while you’re climbing rocks or slaving over tough trails, however, doesn’t.  With the JakPak, a jacket that can transform into either a sleeping bag or a covered shelter, there’s no need to compromise either way.
A versatile garment for active, outdoor lifestyles, it can turn from an all-weather jacket into a personal sleeping system by simply unzipping and pulling out a few components.  Sure that bivy bag looks hell for someone very claustrophobic, but with waterproof and mosquito-proof qualities, it’s a heck of a lot more comfortable than parking your ass on cold earth.
In jacket mode, the JakPak comes with three usable pockets (with matching storm flaps), an integrated hood with visor and a three-season design (spring, summer and fall).  It’s made from polyester [...]

SpongeBob Pavillon Helmet Will Make Trucker Behind You Laugh Before Mowing You Off The Road

Tired of those big, ugly SUVs and huge trucks putting your life in peril every time you hit the road on your bike?  The Les Atelier Ruby SpongeBob Pavillon Helmet isn’t likely to leave you any less dead, but it sure looks like it’s good for a laugh before your fatal motorcycle accident.
Easily one of the cutest bike gear I’ve seen all year, it’s meant to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of pop culture superstar SpongeBob SquarePants.  It probably won’t keep the drunk guy behind the wheel of that rampaging  pickup from tailending you, but he should break out into a smile before that happens.  Who knows, happy drunk drivers just might hit a little more gently?

Released as the first accessory out of Les Atelier Ruby’s Legend line, the SpongeBob Pavillon Helmet uses a stock product from the company’s inventory.  In fact, you can order one for any headsize available in [...]

Work Corset Turns Shapely Undergarment Into Handyman Gear

Want to hide your midsection bulge, while performing repairs around the house?  If you’re a dude, tough luck. Even though you can wear the Work Corset if you want, I imagine you’d rather put a bullet in your temple than prance around the house with a perfect bottle figure.
Created by Nifer Fahrion and seamstress Robynne Winchester, the shapely utility wear combines the elegance of a corset top with the handyman function of a toolbelt.  The result is a decidedly feminine garb with enough holsters and pockets to make you the sexiest DIY enthusiast around the block.
The Work Corset is made from a rugged cotton canvas fabric that’s both durable and breathable, allowing you to get to work without ever worrying about your outfit.  Seriously, I’m impressed that the material barely even droops with all of those heavy tools hanging from it.
Instead of installing permanent holsters and pockets on the top, [...]

Snake Guardz Keeps Slithering Animals And Their Venomous Fangs Away

Need to prop up your space warrior costume with matching boots?  Crackshot’s Snake Guardz should play the leg armor part nicely, apart from keeping all those nasty alien serpents from taking a bite at your legs.
Intended as protection for wilderness trips, Snake Guardz keeps snakes and other slithering creatures from easily climbing their way up your pants.  Bite-proof, the durable gaiters shield your legs from angry reptiles, keeping their fangs from penetrating deep enough to hurt you.  A unique toe-cover that goes over your shoes also prevents those pointed teeth from tangling with your shoelaces, adding an additional layer of protection.
Made from 1000-Denier nylon with polycarbonate inserts, they render the bottom 17 inches of your lower extremities (from below the knees to the ankle and metatarsal area) fully snake-proof.  They only weigh 9-ounces each, allowing you to stay protected without losing any of your mobility, and are puncture-resistant according to [...]

LED Respirator Gas Mask: Bad Odor Protection For Clubbers

All-night dance parties are cool.  Between the alcohol, the mass of sweaty people and the smoke, however, it’s a nightmare for sensitive noses.  Spare your olfactory organ while staying totally awesome with the LED Respirator Gas Mask, a half-face field protective mask with bright blinking LEDs.
Sold on eBay by Cyb3rBurn, the apocalyptic fashion accessory should play perfect for scenesters who like to don outrageous get-ups.  Even if gas-leak-chic isn’t your particular fancy, pair it with the right outfit and you’ll be looking spiffy – all while being able to relieve yourself from the bad odor and numerous air pollutants emanating from the drug-addled, bathed-last-night party animals dancing right next to you.   Hmmmm….
Covering your face, mouth and chin, the LED Respirator Gas Mask attaches to your face comfortably with adjustable elastic bands that wrap around the back of the head.  The respirator tank is fitted with high-intensity LED lights that feature [...]

Portable Leather Cocktail Bag For Bartenders On The Go

Ugh.  Beer again?  Don’t you wish your friends can grow up a little and start serving stiff cocktails during your Friday night poker sessions?  Screw reasoning with those clowns and start traveling with the Portable Leather Cocktail Bag, a veritable bartender kit that lets you have cocktails on-the-go.
A satchel for boozehounds, it’s the perfect companion for everyone who likes to party with a martini in hand, wherever they end up.  Pre-filled with a stainless steel cocktail shaker and four 10-ounce polycarbonate glasses, along with enough space for your liquor bottles, you’ll be ready to play barkeep at the drop of a hat.
Clad in chocolate brown leather, the Portable Cocktail Bag is decked with hand-fitted brass studs and retro-style brass trimmings.  At 10 x 4 x 14 inch dimensions, it offers enough space to carry several full liter bottles in the compartmentalized interior, with assigned areas for the shaker, glasses and [...]

Scorpion EXO-900 Can Transform Into Three Different Helmets

Why buy separate full face, flip front modular and three-quarters helmets, when you can get one that transforms into all three?  The Scorpion EXO-900 can easily be reconfigured into either one of those motorcycle headwear, affording you the convenience of a single accessory, without scrimping on function.
Even though we’d rather see everyone sporting full-face helmets in the interest of safety, we all know people are just plain too hard-headed for that.  Some score a three-quarters model, claiming they’re only going to use the bike for neighborhood transportation, but end up having to take it to all sorts of places anyway.  With the EXO-900 Transformer Helmet, they can simply rig the thing into a full-face protection unit for heavy-duty runs, without having to buy any extra gear.
Both the EverClear faceshield and retractable SpeedView visors can be removed without tools, making it very convenient to shift from one mode to another.  It [...]
