I love step-through ebike frames, not just because it allows my much-shorter wife to borrow the bike when she’s wearing a skirt, but also because when a bike is this heavy (67 lbs), it makes it much easier to balance and hop on and off of. I never felt sketchy …

The MSI Titan is not for the faint of heart—it never has been. It’s an 18-inch behemoth, fitting into that “desktop replacement” class of gaming laptop. This one in particular is meant for PC gamers who don’t just want top performance, but also some bling. You’ll be hard-pressed to find …

I’m at the pizza oven. I’m at the burger grill. I’m at the combination pizza oven and burger grill. Oh, and did I mention I’m also at the griddle? And at the, uh, gas burner? The new, hulking Cuisinart Propel+ 3-in-1 on my back patio is one of those unholy …

When I ran track in college (10 years ago, sigh), my team’s physical therapists were always pushing us to utilize any and all recovery tools, no matter how ridiculous they seemed to us college kids. We’d leave practice with protein shakes in each hand, our shins bulging with ice bags …

Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature …

My relationship with my body hair remains, as it has always been, complicated. The first time I ever shaved was when I was 12, and since then I’ve run the gamut from regular waxes every six weeks to going months without removing a single hair. I’m all for the full …

Finding the right tent for a backpacking trip is always tricky. You have to balance packed size and weight against livability and how well it stands up to wind and rain. I’ve always erred on the side of a sturdy tent over any weight concerns, which is why I love …

I really, really appreciate Ninja’s take on the Luxe’s milk steaming system. Some automatic espresso machines incorporate a container of milk that has to be brought back and forth from the refrigerator, like the ones from this list. The Luxe, however, keeps it classic with a pitcher that you simply …
