The Best Gear for Car- and Bike Lovers

Deck the halls, eat the turkey, keep the cat out of the tree and you’ve got the beginnings of a great holiday season. Here are some ideas for gifts to make it even more memorable.

Gerald Genta Mickey Mouse Watch $23,200

It is possible to know what time it is. It is important to know what time it actually is. Act fast, too – they’re only making 200 of these ultra-exclusive Mickey Mouse watches which tie in with the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar. “Your old pal Mickey” is front-center, naturally, but he’s also kicking a soccer ball. There’s nothing Mickey Mouse about the watch’s guts, though – you’ve got a 41 mm steel case and a mother-of-pearl dial where the company used 14 plates to create the color pattern of the design. To add volume and brilliance, various areas were coated with transparent lacquer. It’s also water-resistant to up to 300 feet, and it’ll go 42 hours with no charging.

Nikon Z 30 One-Lens kit $850

This is an extra-small portable mirrorless camera that does away with a traditional viewfinder (you open a monitor door mounted on the rear to see what you’re shooting) Yet it is plenty potent with the precise, rich detail the badge is known for and its size makes it easy to vlog or livestream with. Your APS-C/DX-format image sensor and EXPEED6 image-processing engine, as well as NIKKOR Z lenses, will allow you to capture high quality video.

The Z 30 One Lens Kit combines a compact, lightweight Z 30 camera with a NIKKOR ZX16-50mm f/3.5-66.3 VR lens. The NIKKOR 16-50mm lens has a wide zoom range, VR image stabilization and is quiet making it perfect for video.

True Classic Dark Heather Ingo Active Joggers 49.99

True Classic also produces fine active wear. You’ll wear these joggers while jogging but they also, believe it or not, dress it up enough to hit the mall or sit at a chain burger or Italian joint with someone who is probably dressed the same way, especially if you have kids. The point is that TC’s not just doing the spanx-for-dudes thing – you can restock your whole casual wear wardrobe from ‘em, and all of it’s high-quality, like yourself.

Trek Bicycles FX+ 2 – $2,499.99

FX+ 2 is an easy-to-use city ebike that’s lightweight and portable. “Every errand run is an excuse to ride,” kvells Trek. “Long commutes become quick joyrides. Big hills can be big fun. Your car becomes your backup plan. That’s forward-thinking!

Cat Utah Boot ($300)

Mission Workshop’s Gradient Glove $165

These gloves will complete any fella’s “I mean business” look while warming the digits and allowing you to work your phone, find your keys and operate your machine without having to take them off.

Just like Mission’s previous collaborations, the Gradient is handmade in California in numbered batches to create the perfect melding of classic craftsmanship and material technology with practical details to prolong life and equip you for the long haul.

Zerofit Heatrub Ultimate Baslayer (From $90

Don’t forget Fruit-of-the loom long underwear or a trip to Target for a pair of pants, man. Zerofit’s Heatrub Ultimate Baselayer is like having your body wrapped in a baked potato.

Technologically enhanced ‘Heat Threads’ inside this garment are activated through movement, gently brushing against the skin to generate warmth instantly. Unlike most other baselayers, the Ultimate does not work on the basis of ‘compression for heat’ – so not only does it provide greater warmth for motorcyclists, they also don’t feel restricted by an inability to move freely. The Ultimate has been designed to work best in a temperature range of 14° Fahrenheit thru 50° Fahrenheit and Zerofit also offers Heatrub Ultimate Leggings (From $90) and Heatrub Ultimate Socks ($27) which perform in the same way as the top and are popular addition for many riders who want to be warm from top to toe.
