With winter upon us, chances are, you’ve got some stylish gear to keep you warm already, but you haven’t really thought about mobility on ice. It’s pretty silly to ask you to get a funky looking pair of ice-ready shoes that won’t match your outfit, so Kahtoola is here to help out with their MICROspikes traction system, a nice compact set of spikes that you can slip on over your hot gear, so you can maintain your balance while looking sporty. Don’t let icy patches limit your exploration, escape routes, or sense of fashion.

Packing light is essential to maintain a faster rate of travel, and prevent fatigue, but if you’re packing a firearm, you’ve got to carry enough ammunition to protect yourself, otherwise you’re just carrying dead weight. A boatload of .45 ACP, or even 9mm ammunition can tip the scales in fatigue’s favor, so choosing the right weapon with the right round could prove useful. Enter the German Sports Guns GSG-522, a high quality and stylish sub-machine chambered in .22lr. A nice light round that lets you carry more ammunition than most guns, the .22lr still has the ability to get the job done, and this puppy comes with a 22 round magazine (see what they did there? You can also sport a drum magazine as well). Plus, a lighter round, means lighter recoil, which helps with your shot placement. I’m not saying you should forsake the 9 milli, or the beastly forty-five, but sometimes you have to sacrifice stopping power for speed and mobility. The GSG-522 is a nice sexy piece of hardware that makes the choice a little more enticing.
