Nomin PackYou’ve got to protect your precious tech gadgets as well as your body – that is, unless you’d like to explain to the teen at the Apple Genius Bar why your Mac Book is leaking water. The Nomin Pack is the commuter pack you need to lock down your laptop, smartphone, and other essentials this winter. Arc’teryx’s AC2 Nylon is complemented by full seam taping and WaterTight™ zippers, as well a rigid laptop protector. Whether you’re hauling your gear on the subway to work, or out of town on a winter roadtrip, you’ll be glad it’s protected in a Nomin.

Voronoi PantsFor mellow office days, or simply to separate yourself from the typical khakis and slacks crowd at your favorite bar, check out the Voronoi Pants. Named and designed for Voronoi mathematical diagrams (yeah, we don’t get it either), this cotton/nylon twill blend feels broken in and comfortable right out of the box. Add in an Aquastop™ treatment, Mil-Spec webbing belt loops, and a gusseted crotch, and these pants will soon be all you wear. Too bad they only come in two colors.

Haedn BlazerWhether you’re dressing up for that big quarterly budget presentation, or just looking to break up the typical Brooks Brothers routine, it’s time to graduate to some more serious performance and style. The new Haedn Blazer combines a fashionable,trim fitted wool outer with a smooth, comfortable cotton jersey lining. Smart accents like a hidden lapel pocket, versatile collar, and Schoeller fabric reinforced cuffs and seams make this blazer a stand out for all-season use.
