If you’re lucky, you’ll be experiencing a white Christmas this year. Snowfallen eaves and sidewalks have become a staple of the holiday season but, for many of us, they remain merely a dream. That doesn’t mean you can’t equip your pockets with some gear inspired by winter wonderlands. That’s why we’ve collected our favorite snow-inspired EDC loadout, featuring gear that’s on sale this Cyber Monday.
Article Overview
The James Brand Throwflake
Known for its minimalist EDC gear that ranges from bolt-action pens and pocket knives, The James Brand is having some fun this holiday season with the Throwflake. Part ornament, part shuriken ninja star, the stainless steel decoration features six sharp points (TJB wants us to emphasize that they’re “really very sharp”) that could be used as slicing tools, although it also looks great hanging on your tree thanks to the included lanyard — just make sure it’s hanging out of range of any kiddos or pets. Nevertheless, it will be a great conversation starter this season.
Stanley The IceFlow Bottle with Flip Straw Lid 24oz
Stanley needs no introduction, with a history that dates back to 1913 with its first vacuum steel bottle and then a resurgent popularity during World War II. However, we love Stanley for its commitment to evolve in a contemporary world’s ever-changing market. Sporting double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless steel construction, the IceFlow is still 33% lighter than the competition thanks to its AeroLight spun-steel technology. The 24-ounce bottle features a flip straw lid for sipping and a rotating handle up top for the gym or trail.
Nothing Ear
Nothing has been shaking up the tech space over the past few years with its cutting-edge design language and thoughtful evolution of staid product categories. While not the latest in the Ear earbuds lineup, the previous-gen models are still quite impressive with noise cancellation and advanced EQ controls in the app. They boast 40.5 hours of total play time (around 8.5 hours of non-ANC without the case) and are deceptively rugged with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. These buds are a whopping 40% off for BFCM.
Vallon Heron Glacier
Vallon has only been around for 7 years but it’s already becoming a fan-favorite for how it blends vintage-inspired silhouettes with modern performance. Perfect for mountaineering or just plain everyday use, the alpine-ready Heron shades look rad but also sport 2mm shatterproof polycarbonate mirrored lenses with category 4 protection (6% VLT) and anti-fog coating. They fit into ultra-light TR90 Grilamid frames with fully-adjustable temples designed to stay on your face and leather side shields for bolstered glare protection. You can get them now for 25% off.
Garmin Forerunner 965
Garmin has the most impressive range of smartwatches on the market and the Forerunner range is its go-to for any runners or triathlon athletes. The 965 model is at the premium end of the GPS-equipped line with a larger 1.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a lightweight titanium bezel, and longer 23-day battery life (non-GPS). You also get more advanced performance metrics for various sports like running, cycling, and swimming. Right now, theForerunner 965 smartwatch is 25% off.
