Athletegy Quad Short 2.0
Athletegy

Athletegy Quad Short 2.0

Pros
  • Lined for the perfect triathlon training
  • Made by athletes
Cons
  • Sometimes the sizing feels inconsistent

When you're dedicated to the fitness lifestyle, the right apparel is the best friend you need every single day. When your gym buddy flakes for a rest day, these shorts will continue to work hard for you in ways no other does. These are a flattering and modern length, shorter than the shorts of the last two decades but not quite the Magnum P.I. shorts that can be a little "insecure" for the gym.

Hydrow Pro
Hydrow

Hydrow Pro Rower

Pros
  • A strong workout from the comfort of your own home
  • Good for beginner to advanced
Cons
  • Needs ample room

Some days you just can't get out of the house and get to the gym. For days like that (maybe you're like us and are stuck in the snow drifts), it's best to have a way to workout in the home. Rowing is a great full-body workout getting cardio and strength training in at the same time. There is no better rower on the market than the Hydrow, and a screen with live workout guides makes it perfect for you if you are a beginner or a seasoned vet.

Echelon Fitness Mirror
Echelon

Echelon Reflect Fitness Mirror

Pros
  • Strength training at home
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Membership needed for full experience

If you don't have the room needed for a full rower, we have the Echelon Reflect for you to be able to get an at-home workout with only the space needed for you to move. The routines are right there in an easy-to-use mirror for you to follow along with and get the sweat going. Some of the best Valentine's Day gifts for men have them up and moving all year round.

ClassPass
ClassPass

ClassPass

Pros
  • Includes tons of classes to choose from
  • Free trial gives an opportunity to see if it's the right fit
Cons
  • Not all gyms are included

Sometimes, you just have to get out of the house to find that motivation to get a good workout in. For that, we have the ClassPass. You don't have to commit to one gym, but you get the benefit of the classes regular gyms offer. Classes are available for yoga, boxing, cycling, Pilates, barre, dance, and more.

Hyperice Hypersphere
Hyperice

Hyperice Hypersphere

Pros
  • More portable than other massage guns
  • Gentle recovery
Cons
  • Only three vibration speeds

Your man has the gear, he has the workout routine, but for some reason he is always skipping the recovery. The Hyperice Hypersphere is the quick and easy fix for the man who needs to loosen sore muscles. Coming in two sizes, it's perfect for home or on the road and fits in the gym bag easily.

Savage Gentleman Leather Apron
Savage Gentleman

Savage Gentleman Leather Apron

Pros
  • Handmade in America
  • Manly version of the kitchen essential
Cons
  • Still when you get it, needs broken in

Look, we like to cook, we like to grill out, and one of the things that comes with it is putting your clothes at risk. But not when you wear an apron, right? Only, sometimes it feels difficult to wear an apron and still feel manly. This leather apron from Savage Gentleman works just as well in the shop as it does in the kitchen.

Lockheart Ironworks 10 inch Roaster
Lockheart Ironworks

Lockheart Ironworks 10-inch Roaster

Pros
  • Healthier option than other pans
  • Will last long enough that your great grandchildren will still taste your bacon
Cons
  • Requires special care

If you watch the documentary The Devil We Know, you will understand why Doug Lockheart does what he does. Better yet, instead of watching the documentary, spend 10 minutes with him deep in the wilderness of Hocking Hills, Ohio and he will help you understand the dangers of Teflon and how he and his family create natural nonstick cast-iron pans that will last long enough your great grandchildren will still taste the bacon you made them long after your grandchildren pass the pan on to them.

Men With the Pot

Men With The Pot Full Forest Sink Set

Pros
  • All you need to start your manly kitchen
  • 30-day guarantee and lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects
Cons
  • Only one knife in the set

If you are like us, you get caught up in the doom scrolling sometimes. But who can blame us when we see a bada** knife making mouthwatering steak in the freaking woods? That is what Men With The Pot provides, ASMR outdoor chef content on TikTok. Maybe a little niche, but it gets us excited about cooking for our family, and this Full Forest Sink Set lets us do just that.

Ooni Karu 2 Pizza oven with Pizza coming out
Ooni

Ooni Karu 2 Pro Ultimate Bundle

Pros
  • You can toss out the pizza chain coupons
  • All you need to make the perfect pizza at home
Cons
  • Takes expertise to install and use

Like anything you make at home or outdoors, there is a learning curve. We have loved pizza since we watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1990 (that film still holds up by the way) and we can be picky with it. Of course, making your own is a great way to eliminate the problem of bad pizza. This pizza oven will give you and your man the perfect opportunity to perfect pizza even the Heroes in a Half Shell will appreciate.

Kenyon Electric G2 Grill
Kenyon

Kenyon G2 Electric Grill

Pros
  • Works indoor or outdoor
  • Easy to use and easy to learn
Cons
  • Cleanup can be a pain

It may not be grill season yet, but if your man is anything like us, he is chomping at the bit to get back out to the grill. This electric grill gives him the opportunity to visit grill season in the dead of winter. It can sit inside on the counter or outside on a table and make grilling easy for anyone. Just add water to the drip tray (can be a bit of a pain to dump afterward) and get going.

Meindl Alpine Series
Meindl

Meindl Alpine Series Air Revolution 200

Pros
  • Gore-Tex waterproof
  • Insulated to keep your feet warm
Cons
  • Needs to be broken in

We all know an outdoorsman who simply cannot sit still. Those are the guys who even on a day off or a holiday, you can find them out in the tree stand, chopping down a tree, or exploring a cave. These men need good bootd, and if your guy needs something for his feet, the Alpine Series will be his new best friend when he leaves the house.

Vitaloop Water Filtration Bottle
Vitaloop

Vitaloop Water Filtration Bottle

Pros
  • Even tap water tastes better
  • Enough power for 100 fills (two weeks of water) in one charge
Cons
  • Only provides 16 fluid ounces at a time

If you have a man in your life who is always on the go, especially if he is always on the go out in the middle of nowhere, then he knows filtered water is like gold. Not only does Vitaloop's bottle keep it filtered, but the water tastes better than anything you will get even in town. Seriously, we use it sitting on the couch and watching Man v. Wild.

VSSL coffie grinder
VSSL

VSSL Keep Cool Bundle

Pros
  • Pack allows you to bring your creamer
  • Less noise pollution in the wild
Cons
  • Takes up space in the hiking pack

We love coffee, most men do. And even though we love getting out into the wild unknown and exploring the adventure Earth has to offer, coffee is always something we missed. That is, until VSSL made it easy for us to grind fresh coffee every morning and start it off right. Getting the bundle allows your man to keep creamer and milk (if he is into that sort of thing) cold for the camping trip.

Benchmade

Benchmade Steep Country Drop Point

Pros
  • Durable and high-quality product
  • Stainless steel blade
Cons
  • Requires proper care

There are few things more important to a guy than having a great knife. This is especially true if your man is the kind who escapes civilization for the wilderness. You never know when a good knife will save his life. So, for his sake, get him something high quality and durable, something like this Steep Country Drop Point from Benchmade.

Ministry of Supply heated coat on a man
Ministry of Supply

Ministry of Supply Mercury Heated Town Coat

Pros
  • Less bulky than other coats
  • Easier to control temperature for fewer layers
Cons
  • Only comes in one color

Staying warm is a need we have had since the beginning of time. As a matter of fact, it may have been the main reason we discovered fire. But nowadays, staying warm is a lot easier than rubbing sticks together. Now you can let your guy simply push a button and warm up when he is on the go. Look good and stay warm, the basics of the winter.

Ember Smart Coffee Cup
Ember

Ember Mug 2

Pros
  • Take your time drinking coffee
  • Comes in a dozen colors
Cons
  • Reported connectivity issues at times

Let's be honest, before you put that coat on for the day, you need a good cup of coffee to shake off the sleep. If your guy is the kind of guy who gets distracted and is constantly warming up his coffee mug, or he is the guy who simply likes to take his time, you can help him by getting him this cup that keeps his coffee at the temperature he loves the most.

Pros
  • Easy-to-make cocktails at home
  • Choose the strength setting of your cocktails
Cons
  • Not many choices for UK products

Once your tech guy gets home from work or emerges from his work-from-home office, he may want that end-of-day cocktail. If your guy is someone who loves that but neither of you are bartenders, this is the best solution. Basically the Keurig of cocktail makers, choose your alcohol type, your cocktail mix, and your preferred strength, and let the machine do the work.

Taylor Stitch The Evans Blazer

Pros
  • Perfect for dressing up a casual outfit without going too far
  • A great brand known for high-quality products
Cons
  • Only comes in two colors

Every stylish man has the love for a high-quality garment that can dress up what he already wears. Sometimes blazers can be too much, but The Evans blazer from Taylor Stitch, which we here like to call a jardigan, is a stylish upgrade that doesn't make it feel like too much. Your man can also toss it on for a nightcap or morning coffee for a cozy feel.

Beckett Simonon Easton Side-Zip Boots

Pros
  • Something different for his wardrobe
  • No waste as they are made to order
Cons
  • 8-week turnaround

For the stylish man who has everything, get him something different. Every guy who cares about their sartorial appearance should have a pair of cordovan dress shoes. But you can help him do it differently with a pair of Chelsea boots that elevate his denim and play well with his suits. Made-to-order means these shoes create very little waste.

The Citizen

Pros
  • Versatile look to wear with any outfit
  • Celebrates a century of watchmaking
Cons
  • Limited edition so will sell out quick

A watch is a way for a man to show his personality and his status without opening his mouth or being too extravagant.

Wild Hats

Custom hat from Wild Hats

Pros
  • Custom made for you
  • Shows off your personality
Cons
  • In-depth process takes time

Hats are a divisive subject among men. Ballcaps, flat caps, fedoras, and Western hats, all have their place for different men in different places. But which hat is the question. Every man is different, and that is why getting your man the opportunity to build his own custom hat is the best way to ensure he gets something perfect for himself. If you want to get lost in styles for hours, doom scroll through Wild Hats' social media and watch the owner himself make the best hats on the market.

The Home Depot

Labor Day may be technically over, but that doesn't mean that the Labor Day deals of Home Depot are. Whether you have certain projects in mind or you're looking to upgrade your appliances, there's surely something from these Labor Day home deals that will catch your attention. The deals may not be as bountiful as they were yesterday, but we've still gathered our top picks so that you won't have to do the research yourself. It would be best if you were quick in securing stocks, though, as the majority of the deals are likely to end today or tomorrow.
Best Labor Day Home Depot deals to shop right now
Before we begin, it is important to note that some of Home Depot's Labor Day deals give you extra saving depending on how much you have in your cart, with some limitations. At around the $1,000 mark you get $100 off, then around the $2,000 mark you get $250 off (and additional $150), and then just before $3,000 you get $450 off (an additional $200). In other words, it pays to buy in bulk. Plus, there are rebates available in certain regions that can account for hundreds of dollars in savings.
