10 Winter Boots to Keep Your Moving Through Winter’s Worst by William Goodman

Winter weather is often brutal. However, even at winter’s worst, you’ve still got to get out and about — which is where a pair of men’s winter boots can really come in handy.

Simply put, winter boots are pretty much like your standard set of boots but just ready to take on the brutal conditions of the season. They’re typically lined with a warmer interior, cut a little higher to keep the snow out, and have superior traction on the footbed to ensure you don’t slip and slide on the ice. 

Whether you need a good pair of boots to shovel snow or even more traction to get to the store or bar on a snowy day, having the freedom to move, well, freely around during the winter is great. To help, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite men’s winter boots to help get the job done.

An Ode to the Carhartt Beanie, the Winter Hat of 2020 by William Goodman

Every now and again, a certain piece of clothing transcends its practical use and becomes something else entirely. We’ve seen it time and time again: L.L.Bean’s Bean Boots became shorthand for an entire style of winter boots, Patagonia revolutionized fleece jackets, and Eddie Bauer made down the way to stay warm in the winter. These simple items are functional and fashionable, sure. But for many, there’s a sense of uniform to these; they’re staples in your closet just like a good navy blazer or a good t-shirt. And, in 2020, nothing is more prevalent than classic Carhartt Beanies.

Whether you live in rural Nebraska or spend your time in hipster enclaves like Brooklyn and Echo Park, you’ve likely seen Carhartt beanies all over the place — if you’re not already wearing one yourself.

Cut the Cord With the 21 Best Wireless Chargers of 2020 by William Goodman

Sure, cutting the cord might be best applied to getting rid of your cable package. But it’s also a good thought to apply to how we charge our smart devices, too. Having a mess of tangled up cords is never fun and with the prevalence of Bluetooth headphones, you should look to free your phone or smartwatch from cords too. Which is where wireless chargers come into play.

As evidenced by its name, a wireless charger is typically a stand or a pad of some sort that will charge your smart devices just by resting the device on the stand. These chargers use their induction coils to create an electrical connection to the coil inside your phone, therefore removing the need for you to plug the cord in. This also speeds up the charging time considerably.

Wireless charging is advancing by leaps and bounds, and with the iPhone 12 touching down from the Apple spaceship with its MagSafe charging system, it’s about to get a bigger push than ever before.

But despite all the fancy tech, these chargers aren’t very expensive and it’s easy to get one that can fit your individual needs. So cut the cord already and get one of the 21 best wireless chargers below.

There are few things better than an ice-cold beer. The way the frothy foam hits your lips, the delicious taste of the hops and the overall relaxing vibes are enough to make even the most difficult of days fade away entirely. Yet, even from a bottle, it’s not quite the same as having a beer fresh from the tap at a bar. The good news is, if you’re willing to spend a little dough, you can bring that same experience home with a kegerator.

We’re not talking about a keg you may have snagged during college for a party (or seven) but rather an actual home-ready keg system you’d find at your local watering hole. Many kegerators are freestanding or easily installable into your existing bar and will provide that luscious, fresh beer taste thanks to their CO2 dispensing system. Additionally, many kegerators will allow you to control the temperature with digital control so you can make it just perfect after a long day.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up eight of the best kegerators and mini kegerators for your use at home — our selects, below.
