Molson Coors Five Trail Whiskey
Coors and whiskey aren’t words you usually hear together — outside of my local’s beer and a shot promo — but a new release aims to bring those two worlds together. Five Trail is a 95-proof blended American whiskey made with Coors malt and Rocky Mountain water, blended and bottled in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Co. in Bardstown, KY.
Clearing Duo Clearing Clay & Clearing Mist
Body acne … not the most fun to deal with. But it can be simplified. Meet Soft Services’ new Clearing Duo, two body acne products designed for adult body breakouts. The set comes with a sulfur wash/mask/spot treatment and a quick-drying acne treatment to help with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to clear pesky breakouts and keep them at bay.

110-year-old Canadian boot brand Kodiak released their most eco-conscious collection yet. “For exploring the planet with less impact,” the collection of hikers boast breathable, waterproof comfort, superb durability and a slip-resistant rubber outsole, not to mention a 100% recycled plastic lining and mesh upper and 50% recycled plastic laces.

PURTREK Trek Pole & Water Filtration System Pole Set
Have you ever looked at a trekking pole and wondered how you could improve upon its timeless design? It’s okay if you didn’t, but the folks at PurTrek did when they made a hiking pole with a built-in pump-style filtration system to provide you with clean water on the trail. The telescopic pole set is made from lightweight aluminum that’s incredibly durable, while the hollow-fiber filter removes over 99% of waterborne pathogens. Simply siphon water through the tip of the pole and filter it to the top when the nearest faucet is miles away.
Oakley Xeus
Oakley’s all-new Xeus model draws inspo from the kabuto of samurai, the legendary warrior of the Olympics’ host country, Japan. With the sunglass brand’s PhysioMorphic Geometry technology, the lenses provide optimized coverage and frame-like retention while enhancing color and detail. You can shop the limited-edition release on August 12 on Oakley’s website.
