Before the spring rains set in to soak North America from Atlanta to Albany and Tallahassee to Tacoma, you should outfit yourself for the forthcoming foul weather with a pair of water repellent pants.

The reasons for doing so are many: including the most obvious–staying dry in the rain–but there are additional benefits to water repellent pants, including the ability to also repel oil and dirt. Which means, whether you’re a cyclist pounding puddles on your way to work or a pedestrian who happens to get a splash-back from a thoughtless motorist, you’ll remain dry, warm, and presentable through it all.

To get you, our faithful reader, into a pair of water repellent pants sooner rather than later (and for free), we’ve partnered up with Vancouver, British Columbia-based Duer to giveaway a pair of their fantastic Stay Dry 2.0 Denim Jeans ($139) and a pair of their Live Free Adventure Pant ($142) to one lucky winner and a friend. Yes, not only do you have a chance to win two pairs of high-end water-repellent pants, but you also get to call the shots on the who gets a second set. Maybe you want to reward a good friend, a nephew, son, or even your hip-as-hell dad–the choice is yours.

Some features of the pants:

  • Water repellency using Duer’s biodegradable Rainshield treatment
  •  Invisible seat gusset, allowing free-range of motion while preventing “crotch blow-outs”
  • Slim cut, but not tight
  • Triple-stitch seams for long-lasting durability
  • the Stay Dry Denim is 30% lighter and stronger than traditional denim
  • Odor-neutralizing Silvadur treatment

For your chance to win a pair of Duer Stay Dry 2.0 Denim and Live Free Adventure pants for yourself and for a friend, fill out the form below and tag a pal on social media. And, if your friend enters and tags you, you just doubled your chances at walking away looking brand new.

If you just can’t wait for the contest to run its course, though, you can always check out Duer’s website or read more about their ultra-cool shirts and Nature 2X fabrics.

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
