Best Shirts

We tested several shirt brands this year and while many of them were in our top 5, we have to say the best shirts of 2022 goes to Cuts Clothing. These shirts are not only buttery soft, but they hold up in the washing machine, wear well with any look, and are in so many styles that it fits any body type out there.

---

Best Jacket

We can’t say enough about OROS Apparel and their jackets. They are not only cozy but they shed rain and snow like a duck. Wear while shredding slopes, or when heading into sub-zero conditions, these jackets can handle it. Nasa inspired design has these jackets using only the best materials for any weather.

---

Best Bag

We have to hand it to Knack. They dropped some legit new gear this year and we are all about it. We love their expandable bag lineup, their slings, even their new duffel. Knack has plenty of space, compartments for easy storage, is extremely lightweight but durable AF. We tried their bags in several travel settings and never had one issue. Solid design, functionality, and comfort.

---

Best Belt

We first got introduced to this belt company over 3 years ago and have tested their belts along with several other brands out there. Kore Essentials’ lineup of belts are not only the best out there, but they are the best for any fashion/EDC/Gun-carry/beyond. We love their leather style belts for not only comfort but for the vast flexiblity to wear them dressed up or down.

---

Best Wallet

We tested several wallets in 2022, and our favorite wallet to start 2023 off with has to go to AXWELL. The slim design, easy access on two sides, and innerchangable face plates makes this wallet legit cool. With an added money clip and strap, there is room for not only plastic but also cold, hard cash. Several colors to choose from, these wallets will go with anything.

---

Best EDC Pen

A good pen is hard to find, yet they are easy to lose. How the heck does that make sense? Well, if you get your hands on an Everyman Grafton pen, you won’t ever let this writing tool out of your hands. Made with solid craftsmanship, this is by far the coolest, best, and most sought after pen our crew has tested.

---

Best CBD Oil

CBD oil has taken off in 2022 and there is good reason- many drops offer some pretty legit health beenfits. But, we are not doctors so do not quote us. We do though know from using these Jupiter drops on the regular, we have seen better sleep, more relaxed work0days, less muscle aches after a workout and an overall feeling of zen. We think the Jupiter drops are the best on the market- no question.

---

Best Soap

We swear this soap is a game changer. Sure- soap is soap. But, our crew tried Atwater and let us be the first to say- the tiny scrub bubbles inside each layer of soap feels like a tiny massage on our skin. Plus, if you like to get dirty, and we mean real dirty, this soap lets you know how clean you are getting with the feeling of that dead and dry skin falling off in the shower. Don’t believe us? Well, ask their thousands of reviewing customers what they think too.

---

Best Shoes

We tried these shoes in February of 2022. We have re-ordered them in all colors ever since then. They are the only shoe we wear on a regular basis. No joke. Dress them up with slacks, down with jeans, and even wear them with shorts. The BYLT shoe is by far the most comfortable and versatile shoe in 2022 and we know well into 2023. They are know for making shirts, but dang do they know how to make a shoe.

---

Best Pants

When a short company ventures out and makes a pair of pants, one has to question if they are losing their minds. But, when Chubbies launched their Everywear pants we know why they named them that….because WE NOW WEAR THEM EVERYWEAR. They are the lightest yet most durable and flexible pants we have ever worn. Beach day- bring them. In office work day? Wear them. Night out with the crew- no other pants we’d rather rock. No joke comfy AF you won’t want to take them off.

---

Best Hair Trimmer

Let’s cut to the chase: do you manscape? If you do, and you want the best hair trimmer than trust us when we say Happy Nuts has the only one you will need. Why? Well it not only is waterproof, but it trims like a razor but doesn’t cut you like one. And with its specific “man-berries” design (we just made that up), you know it can plow a field, mow the lawn, cut the bush, do the thang you need it to do. Grab one, shave some, get it done.

---

Best Sunglasses

Aviators made a huge comeback this year after the launch of Top Gun: Maverick. When it comes to picking the best shades, they have to be none other than Randolph Aviators. These are trusted by pilots, wear like you have nothing on your face, and looks stylish AF no matter what you do in them. Super strong yet lightweight we think these are the shades to beat in 2023.
