Beyond its jackets and coats, The North Face’s outdoor gear remains unmatched. Known for their durability and ability to withstand almost any environment, The North Face’s Base Camp duffel bag has consistently maintained its status as one of the best weekender bags on the market. With only Patagonia’s Black Hole bag coming close to the Base Camp’s quality and craftsmanship, there’s no doubt about The North Face’s capability to create truly premium products. And while The North Face has dabbled in footwear before, its newest release is a new version of the Base Camp series we have yet to see. Turning their famed duffel bag into two new boots, The North Face Base Camp Duffel Bag breathes new life and has now become the go-to footwear for all of your outdoor adventures

The North Face’s Base Camp Duffel turns into your new favorite boots

Arriving in two models —the Base Camp 100 Waterproof Boot and the Base Camp 200 Waterproof Boot —the newest footwear release from The North Face fuses the brand’s iconic durability and practicality into two new boot designs. Transformed into a mid-height hiker boot, the Base Camp 100 Waterproof Boot features EVA waterproof uppers that have been reinforced on the inside with the brand’s Thermoball insulation. These waterproof uppers ensure the boot can handle rain, sleet, and mud, and they are easy to rinse off. Webbing loops on the back provide easy access, while a secure lacing system with lace locks keeps your foot in place. At the bottom, a deep-treaded Vibram outsole adds grip and stability on any terrain.

Sharing many similarities with the 100 Boot, the Base Camp 200 Waterproof Boot draws on the same inspiration but with a few key differences. The 200 Boot doesn’t include a lacing system; instead, it stays in place thanks to its slightly higher shaft. Although it also features the Thermoball insulation, the 200 boot dons a thicker version for even harsher weather. The 100 Boot is available in Black and Mocha Brown for $180 each, while the 200 Boot is offered in Black and Summit Gold for $200 each. Both versions are available for purchase via The North Face webstore.

Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

The new Retroware Digital breaks from Timex’s usual playbook of reissuing specific archival models like the Q Timex or T80 lines. Instead, this one’s an entirely new design that lifts the swagger of vintage digital sport watches without copying any single reference.

Yema’s bronze dive watch gets a gold-flecked makeover
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Morteau, France-based Yema has added three new dial colors to its Superman Bronze CMM.10 lineup, and they might be the best-looking version of this watch yet.

The brown, green, and white dials all get the same glossy, lacquered treatment, with applied gilt-finished logos, raised hour markers, and diamond-cut hands that catch light in a way flat-printed dials just can’t match.
