What is the definition of luxury? The state of great comfort, elegance, and indulgence? Quality and craftsmanship? Is it a feeling? A product? How about all of the above? In any case, it is something most of us strive for and few of us truly experience. That is why it is important to strike when the opportunity presents itself, and today it is, with a new golf bag from Callaway Golf. The Summit Collection launched today, featuring walk bags, cart bags, and stand bags for golfers seeking top-tier performance and premium materials. For me, luxury revolves around products that evoke comfort, elegance, and top-tier quality. There is no better way on the golf course than choosing the right gear.

The Peak of Performance

Years of research yielded thoughtfully designed bags that work with me and keep my approach to my tee time easy and not something I need to overthink. Developed and designed with the idea of the golfer in mind. The Flex Pid base keeps it essentially Callaway, while the premium leather calls back to the old days of golf. When I first got my hands on the sand colored stand bag, the immediate thing I noticed was the unending number of pockets. Since I was overwhelmed, I reached out to my friends at Callaway to get a rundown of what the design intent was for the pockets.

“The two large side pockets are called Apparel Pockets and are designed for clothing or other bulkier items. The two smaller pockets near the top are velour-lined and intended for valuables such as your phone, wallet, and keys. On the front lower section is the ball pocket, which is exactly what it sounds like. Two smaller Magnetic GPS pockets typically hold a rangefinder, ball markers, tees, and other small essentials.”

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style

Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves.

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand

Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.

2027 KTM Freeride E

Austrian motorcycle company KTM’s dirt bikes have a reputation for ripping horsepower and world-title-winning performance. Across the world’s motocross tracks and enduro courses, the brand’s orange bikes win titles and provide the thrill of riding off-road. But for the most part, those bikes use 2-stroke and 4-stroke combustion engines.

Now, looking toward the future, the organization’s latest electric off-roader, the 2027 Freeride E, optimizes power, handling, and range, with a variety of improvements over prior versions. Here’s the rundown on the bike’s improved specs.
