It’s finally starting to warm up around the country, we have daylight well into the evening, and spring breakers are sleeping their collective hangovers off, so that can only mean one thing: It’s time for some warm weather adventures. Whether this spring takes you to tropical destinations for some dawn patrol surfing, or further north in pursuit of cold rivers and late evening fly-fishing, you need to prepare for the water with the best spring gear. We’ve been testing some of the apparel and gear from the new Spring Line from Howler Brothers while fly-fishing and climbing our way through the West, and we can easily say that we’ve found your new favorite beach and mountain apparel.

Gaucho Snapshirt
Taking design cues from classic western style button-up shirts, the Gaucho Snapshirt is the foundation of the Howler line. Classic pearl snaps and pleated chest pockets are combined with quick drying fabric and a vented back yoke. The unique embroidery touches – from roosters to palm trees – round out this perfect summer weight travel shirt. Whether you’re jetsetting far afield or simply fishing your favorite local river, this shirt is what you should reach for.

Smith x Howler Brothers Sunglasses
Howler teamed up with Smith Optics this Spring to launch a limited edition run of co-branded sunglasses. Our pair of Docksides has taken us above the treeline chasing spring snow in Jackson Hole, and helped spot monster trout along the Green River in Utah. The chromapop lenses are etched with the Howler monkey logo, and increase contrast and depth perception by selectively amplifying certain color wavelengths. The custom matte tortoise frames with a touch of Howler’s signature orange will stand out in any environment. If you’re looking for a more toned back look, they’ve also got a pair called the Lowdown that will handle urban settings nicely.

Bruja Boardshorts
The retro styled Bruja Boardshorts are a simple, elegant answer to the typical too-short hipster swim trunks and too baggy “bro” beach attire. A nine inch inseam and comfortable polyester microfiber body ensure that these shorts will be your go-to for days on the beach or lake for seasons to come. With half a dozen color options, you may just have to get a few pairs for that Memorial Day weekend trip to Key West.

The IWC Portugieser collection

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
