Easy Lens Change
Known for their stylin’ sport shades with interchangeable lenses, Smith Optics has re-invented its lens change technology with the new Interlock system. Now there’s no more struggling to pop out lenses. Activated by a simple twist of the temple arm, the Interlock’s lens change is simple to open and secure when closed. Available in three different frame options for sport and street wear: Interlock 01, Trace and Whisper. Every pair comes with replacement lenses in orange and clear; additional lens tints are also available. $139, www.smithinterlock.com
Tune In
For active types who like to listen to their iPod while on the move, the 6i Isolator Earphones from Etymotic Research will help enhance the music experience. The earphones provide exceptional sound output and enhanced bass, plus “noise isolation” from outside sound through their comfortable, secure fit. Now you can listen to your tunes without having to turn up the volume too high, which can damage hearing. Specifically for use with iPods and other small portable music players; available in black or white. $149, www.etymotic.coma
High Octane
Princeton Tec gives a new twist on headlamps with The Fuel. Attached on one side by a single arm bracket, the lightweight Fuel can rotate easily up and down for a wide range of coverage. With the other side unattached, a convenient side door can be opened to “refuel” the lamp with fresh batteries. Three super-bright LEDs cast up to 16 lumens, offering plenty of power for night hikes and camp chores. $25, www.princetontec.com
