Go Westerlind, Young Man

Talk about the ultimate site to shop some well curated indie brands. Think of it as the intersection where technical outdoor gear and apparel meet a style-minded store. The brands showcased are known for their forward-thinking design, functionality and style including: Jungmaven, Makr, Scout, Stutterhheim and Aigle. The sites approach is to inspire through a thoughtful offering and a left-of-center attitude.

This place harkens back to a general store, where you could find just about anything: unique teas, tents, liquid and bar soap, cabin spray, wool blankets, headlamps, hip flasks, and of course, hatchets and axes. From outerwear, to shirts and sweaters for layering in the upcoming colder weather, to great pants to all-utilitarian bags, you can find almost everything here.  Their point of view is definitely laid-back cool combined with function.

One interesting addition to the usual site is that you can opt to shop by your favorite activities: Camp, Hike, Travel, Sail and City.

The urban nomad and uber-outdoor enthusiast might tap into Westerland equally. The Manual thinks that no matter you’re hunting for, this is one solid place to start.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils. Both monochromatic versions feature a sculptural style and footwear technology that’ll catch anyone’s attention on the trails or city streets.
