Winter is the season of campfires. Roasting marshmallows over a campfire in the crisp winter air is a magical experience that just can’t be recreated any other time of the year.

It can have its downsides, though, especially if you’re unlucky enough to get burned by a rogue spark. If you’ve ever been stung by the popping embers of a campfire and lost one of your favorite pairs of pants to the fiery fates, you need to check out the latest apparel collection from Snow Peak. The outdoor lifestyle brand has just dropped a new line that begs the question: How did no one think of creating a fully fire-resistant line of camp clothes before?! Seems like a no-brainer to us.

Snow Peak’s Fire Resistant garment series includes four new styles: the FR Down Pullover, the FR Down Jacket, the FR Rain Jacket, and the FR Rain Trench.

Each is designed with a four percent Aramid (the same fabric used in firefighting suits) shell and a special coating that won’t melt in the face of your next toasty campfire. In addition to their flame-retardancy, each new style is also water resistant and built for both comfort and functionality, with highly breathable materials and all the pocket space you would expect from any high-quality hiking gear.

You can also up the coziness factor of the Jacket and Pullover styles by opting for a 90 percent white goose down filling. Each style in the series is available in three colors: olive, black, and brown.

It’s no secret that we are at The Manual love spending quality time in the great outdoors, and as campfire enthusiasts, we tip our proverbial hat to Snow Peak for this clever new collection. The Snow Peak Fire Resistant garment series is available now from Snow Peak stores in Soho and Portland or on the brand’s official website, so be sure to snatch up your favorite style this campfire season.

Celebrate 50 years of the Porsche 911 Turbo with these limited edition watches
A 911 Turbo for your wrist
Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition

2024 marks 50 years since the first Porsche 911 Turbo (G Model), also known as the Porsche 930, made its debut at the Paris Motor Show. Despite being a bit of a deathtrap, the 930 remains one of the most historically significant and collectable 911s to this day, so it’s only natural Porsche would want to mark the occasion with something special.

That’s where the The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 50 Years 911 Turbo Edition comes in. It’s covered in nods to the past, coated in elements of the iconic 930, and apparently runs with the sort of reliability and precision one expects from something adorned with a Porsche badge.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Oracle Red Bull Racing Edition

Fans of Red Bull Racing have another watch to potentially add to their collection thanks to the team’s latest collaboration with TAG Heuer. TAG Heuer itself has a long history when it comes to racing, with the aptly named “TAG Heuer F1” being one of the brand's best-selling timepieces and company predecessor TAG once owning half of Red Bull’s close rivals, McLaren.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Oracle Red Bull Racing Edition differs from many luxury racing watches in its construction. Instead of a finely crafted mechanical masterpiece, it’s a smartwatch. But what it lacks in mechanical brilliance, it makes up for in smart functionality.
