For the Adventure Seekers

DUSK Eyewear

Simply tap the side of the frame to adjust between four preset tint levels, or use the Ampere app to set the tint level you want. Dusk also has hidden built-in speakers in both arms that provide crystal clear audio and an integrated microphone that allows you to make phone calls and listen to music. Dusk is voice assistant-enabled for both Apple and Android devices so you can stay hands-free. Dusk also comes in a version without any audio built-in- Dusk Lite.

  • Dusk: $299
  • Dusk Lite: $199

X-TERRA PRO

The X-TERRA PRO was engineered to be easily operated while still providing the technical edge Minelab is known for. And that advanced simplicity begins with preset Search Modes that instantly operate on frequencies best suited for specific environments, including parks, fields, and beaches. Each of those terrains offers two unique settings within to further accommodate specifically what’s under your feet. And when it’s time to take control of your detecting destiny, Minelab’s exclusive PRO-SWITCH technology turns over the reins so you can switch frequencies from 5, 8, 10, and 15 kHz and detect even deeper.

The X-TERRA PRO’s large backlit LCD screen displays easily identified icons for each Search Mode. Moreover, the screen reveals other important intelligence like signal strength, frequency, battery power, volume, and more. More seasoned hunters can refine settings quickly and easily, too. Enjoy the crystal-clear audio with an in-built speaker (included) or lightning-fast low latency wireless headphones, wired headphones, and waterproof headphones – all compatible and available Minelab accessories. $299.99

Hookset Sunglass with ChromaPop Glass Polarchromic Lenses from Smith

The new Hookset sunglass from Smith features lightweight and durable Evolve bio-based frame material with a wraparound fit for full coverage on and off the water. The frames include strategic lower chamfers, allowing perspiration and moisture to move away from the lens and minimize fogging. The Hookset is available exclusively with ChromaPop lens technology, including the brand new ChromaPop Glass PolarChromic lenses (as shown), merging top-tier eyewear technologies – polarized glass, photochromic adaptability, and color-enhancing ChromaPop lenses – never before available in the market. Highly scratch-resistant, incredible optical clarity and tint-adjusting technology reduce every angler’s adversary: glare. The addition of smudge and moisture-resistant coatings offers easy cleaning and clear vision, and megol temple and nose pads offer a non-slip grip. For added reassurance, the included PivLock leash retainer seamlessly attaches to the frames to keep them safe when releasing a fish or peering over the side of a boat. $295

The Barnes from The James Brand

From The James Brand – purveyors of modern, minimal everyday carry items – The Barnes is the brand’s best-selling integral knife with an incredibly smooth action. The classic tactical knife features a titanium frame lock construction machined from a solid billet of 6AL4V titanium -which means fewer parts and less maintenance – and a sharpened 3.5” Bohler M390 steel blade, widely regarded as the singular best blade steel available. The blade runs on a stainless steel pivot and ceramic bearings, and the clip is CNC-machined titanium as well. Includes a paracord lanyard for easy carrying. Since the adage states it’s bad luck to give a knife as a gift without exchanging a coin, The Barnes includes a custom arrowhead-emblazoned coin in the packaging for swapping to ward off any negativity. $649- $699
