As with any ride we purchase, we want our bike to be as stylish as it is functional. When we make that kind of investment, we plan on riding the thing into the ground. That means years of people seeing us and, if we don't choose wisely, years of embarrassment. Luckily, we can turn to a brand like Linus and know ... continue reading

Keeping our facial hair game in check is just one part of our daily routine. We always want our appearance to be as clean and crisp as the sound beating through our headphones. Even if you're going for that "just got out of bed" look, it takes some styling to achieve it. With this gift pack from Braun, you can ... continue reading
Getting your gear from point a to point b was a lot easier before you had to carry a laptop, or a change of clothes or even an extra cell phone charger. We've gotten to the point now that we can't even leave the house without a bag to hold the daily essentials and that bag needs an upgrade. Whether it's a huge ... continue reading
We have a lot of brilliant ideas when we're stoned and if we don't write them down they'll go up in smoke. The best place to put those ideas is in a Brilliant Ideas I Had While Stoned Notebook.

We've come a long way since the days of Jansport and Trapper Keeper, but that doesn't mean backpacks are any less cool. Ignoble takes the concept of putting a bunch of stuff in a compartment with two straps and attaching it to your back to a whole new level with their line of backpacks. Using plenty of 400D high-density ... continue reading
You just spent $300 on a new phone. You loaded it up with music and movies. Then, in an attempt to rock out, you plugged in the headphones that came with it, clicked play and realized they sucked. Who knows, maybe you didn't even get that far because the headphones were too uncomfortable to leave in for more than ... continue reading

We've come close to the point of bankruptcy on more than one occasion stocking up on all the cool material that graces the pages of this website and lines the halls of Shop Cool Material.

All headphones are not created equal. We know, we know, you just got that sweet pair of free headphones from that booth at *insert any social gathering here*, but there's a problem with them that the cute girl forgot to mention. They suck. At the end of the day, yeah, they're headphones, but they can't produce ... continue reading
Hi, we're the editors at Cool Material and we have a problem. We have an addiction to timepieces. It's a safe bet that if we found out the house was on fire, the first thing on our list of things to save would be the watch box with over 50 watches in it. We're not the types of guys that have one $10k timepiece ... continue reading
It's hard to go a few hours—let alone a lifetime—without Facebook. Unfortunately, that terrible fate is something Queen Elizabeth, Honest Abe and Henry Ford had to suffer through.

Somewhere between kayaking and surfing exists a whole new pseudo sport known as stand up paddleboarding. While it will certainly end up in the Olympics with bags (cornhole for the purists) by the year 2020, for now it seems like more an aquatic activity. We don't have a problem with that because the concept is ... continue reading
