It’s giveaway time! This week we’re giving away a limited-edition Star Wars Empire Crew Parka. The jacket is an exact replica of what Lucas and his team wore while filming on the Hardangerjokulen Glacier in Norway back in 1979.

Outdoor apparel manufacturer Columbia Sportswear has perfected its nostalgic apparel offerings when it comes to the Star Wars universe. In the past Columbia has launched jackets inspired by both Rogue One and The Empire Strikes Back. Its latest edition to its clothing line from a galaxy far, far away, is inspired by the filmmakers who shot the iconic second installment of George Lucas’ sweeping space opera. The very real and snowy environment served as the perfect location for the opening scenes of the movie, on what fans know as the ice planet of Hoth. When temperatures on the glacier plunged below zero, the original parka for the cast and crew played a vital role in allowing them to continue working through the difficult weather conditions.

The best part about Columbia’s latest Star Wars jacket is that it holds the vintage look but with a modern tech design. Columbia went to great lengths to re-create the original look of the parka but you’ll find the gear manufacturer incorporated its proprietary Omni-Heat fabrics, which increase warmth by reflecting body heat back at the wearer, into the design. It has also added wind and waterproof fabrics, as well as 200 grams of synthetic insulation that should improve comfort in cold conditions as well.

It comes with a “Darth Vader with flames” chest patch that is a replica of the one worn by the cast and crew of Empire. The jacket also offers a customizable nameplate and a patch that reads “Norway Unit,” just like the original. The GPS coordinates for the Hardangerjokulen Glacier are even stitched into the lining as a reminder of where the film was made.

These exclusive jackets will go on sale in participating Columbia retail locations only and will most likely sell out fast. You’re going to want to get your hands on this stylish jacket and you can testify yourself on how cool the design looks when you see the unboxing on Digital Trends Live on the morning of Thursday, December 6th! Digital Trends Live starts at 9 a.m. PT so tune in.

The new Samsung Galaxy S10 just launched last week, and despite the hype surrounding the launch, we knew very little about it until getting our hands on it.

So as a treat for our loyal readers, we're giving one lucky winner the opportunity to grab a brand new Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone (a $900 value) along with a bundle of four Speck phone cases. Read on, or scroll to the bottom, to find out how you can enter.

There are a ton of different Android phone makers on the market right now, including Nokia, LG, andHuawei, and it seems like there are more and more brands throwing their hats into the ring each year. Yet Samsung is still remains king of the smartphone hill, commanding the lion’s share of the Android market (with Android itself also being the OS of choice for the majority of smartphone users today).

Enter to win the stunning HP Spectre Folio 2-in-1 leather laptop

There are a lot of laptops you can buy, but not very many are quite as luxurious as the HP Spectre Folio 2-in-1. Unlike most portable computers, the Spectre Folio adds genuine leather into its aesthetic. Upon first look, you may mistake it for nice notebook wrapped in leather, but upon closer inspection, you'll see that the leather is actually built-in as the Folio's chassis. Despite looking like a portfolio, this HP laptop is still a legit 2-in-1. We were so impressed by the look and feel of it that we decided to give it an 8 out 10 in our review, so we're pretty stoked to be giving one away.

With an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB of memory, and 256 GB of SSD storage, the HP Spectre Folio is more than just pretty, it's also rather powerful. The 13-inch Full HD display, paired with tablet capabilities, make it an excellent laptop for everyything but larger scale design work. Unlike most 2-in-1 laptops, however, the Folio folds a little bit differently. If you take a look at the new HP Spectre x360, you'll notice that the screen folds over the back. This ends up leaving the keyboard exposed underneath. The Folio actually flips inward to cover the keyboard, allowing that luxurious leather to keep protecting the bottom of the laptop.
