Giveaway: 52 Pairs of Columbia Underwear for the New Year

Some of you may remember (and may have even entered) our contest from a few months ago: We gave away a whopping 52 pairs of Gold Toe Socks, one pair for each week of the year.

Strap on your drawers, because we’ve got another giveaway that may put those socks to shame. If there’s one thing more important than socks in a man’s wardrobe, it’s underwear. And we’ve partnered up with Columbia to give away 52 pairs of the brand’s stretch cotton boxer briefs. Yes, that’s right, we are giving away one pair of Columbia underwear for each week in the new year. With that kind of a windfall coming at you in January, you’ll start off 2018 with a refreshed underwear drawer and, hopefully, a refreshed outlook on life. Who can be a pessimist while wearing new underwear? We’ll answer for you: literally no one.

You can also theoretically go for 52 days wearing a fresh pair of underwear each day before having to do any underwear laundry. Now that’s what we call a holiday miracle.

But, what’s so great about this underwear? To start, the stretch-factor is fantastic, meaning you can move whichever way you want without constant readjustment (or atomic wedgies), making these a great option for both everyday wear and workout session. Another benefit is the Omni-wick advanced evaporation, which allows for perspiration and moisture to be pulled away from the body quickly, meaning no chafing. These bad boys also sport an anti-microbial treatment, so they stay fresher longer —though we always suggest washing underwear after every use because, well, duh.

Now that you’ve heard all the benefits, what are you waiting for? Sign up below for your chance to win this amazing offer with a total retail value of approximately $430.

Maurice Lacroix’s latest collab with street artist Wotto is breaking all the rules
Street artist Wotto brings his colorful chaos to Maurice Lacroix's new limited edition AIKON

Swiss watchmaker Maurice Lacroix, founded in 1975, is known for producing luxury timepieces at a fair price. They have now introduced the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition. This watch turns the well-known AIKON into a canvas for street art by British artist Wotto (Craig Watkins) in a unique partnership limited to 1,000 units.

This particular watch has an interesting past. In 2021, Hungarian artist @Timeengraver changed an AIKON watch on his own and posted it on Instagram. Maurice Lacroix noticed the work and began the Urban Tribe series. Two years later, @Timeengraver made another watch with Wotto’s drawings, which led to this official project, marking an exciting watch/artist collaboration.

Junghans Mega Futura reimagines the first radio-controlled watch with modern style
The future is here
Junghas Mega Futura

Everything old is new again. More than 30 years ago, Junghans released the Mega 1, the first-ever radio-controlled watch in the world. Now, the company has released the Junghans Mega Futura, a modern interpretation of an iconic watch featuring clean cuts and an asymmetrical shape.

The watch has a storied history. Released in the 1990s, the Mega 1 was rolled out with an antenna—advanced technology that improved the watch’s precision. Frequencies would be sent from atomic clocks located in different cities to help set the time. And just like the first-ever model, this limited-edition model is equipped with advanced transmission capabilities for enhanced precision and accuracy. The transmission range of the first model was limited to a smaller area, but the Mega Futura has a wide range and can receive transmissions from North America, Asia, and Europe.
