When you’re climbing that corporate ladder, you know to never let them see you sweat. And now, you can get some help from your clothes. Thanks to GANT’s new Tech Prep line, the American lifestyle brand promises professionals that they will never be not comfortable.

In fact, that’s the name of the company’s latest campaign. As part of “Never Not Comfortable,” GANT is highlighting how its Tech Prep line, complete with new fabric features and hidden technology, will keep wearers cool and collected in even the most stressful of situations.

“The clothes we wear today are not designed for the active lifestyle we are living — that’s why we created the Tech Prep feature,” said GANT CMO Brian Grevy. “You get your favorite preppy look, never compromising on style, comfort or the hand-feel of the shirt, but with all the tech features that enables you to jump straight from your bike into a meeting feeling.”

So what’s all this technology GANT speaks of? First of all, Tech Prep clothing comes with hidden quick dry, breathable, and wicking benefits, all integrated into your business-ready clothing. Think of it as athleisure for the office, but with a preppier look (because as cool as you are, you probably shouldn’t be wearing yoga pants to the boardroom).

Tech Prep clothing is made of a special fabric with three features. First off, the high-performing microfiber polyester promises to be quick drying, moving sweat away from your body to the fabric’s surface, where that moisture will evaporate. Second, Tech Prep pieces are woven in such a way that promises to let air and body heat flow through the fabric, which means that you won’t suddenly feel like you’re suffocating underneath your collar. Finally, GANT promises that each Tech Prep garment “actively absorbs humidity from the skin and transports it from the body to the outer surface.”

And all this is done without compromising style. You can buy GANT’s Chambray Shirt, the Prep Check Shirt, and the Blue Stripe Shirt all for $125 at www.gant.com.

Please don’t let Insomniac turn into Marvel’s video game studio

Sony's September PlayStation Showcase was one to remember ... or at least the last 10 minutes of it were. While the first 30 minutes of the digital show revolved around new trailers for upcoming games, the final stretch was more about grand reveals. In particular, Insomniac Games stole the show by delivering its two biggest surprises: A Venom-filled trailer for Spider-Man 2 and a shocking teaser for a Wolverine game.

You don’t need a camera for dorm room security. Here’s what to do instead

No one really thinks about dorm room security until something bad happens. That’s the unfortunate reality, but much like anything else, preventative measures can help keep potential threats from becoming all too real. In terms of dorm room security, there are a number of things students can do to protect themselves.
In 2018, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported that burglaries accounted for 34% of all criminal incidents against persons and property on campuses. It’s a reminder for both parents and students that dorm room security needs to be prioritized. While the automatic response would be to have some sort of security camera installed inside the dorm room, it’s a far more complicated matter than you think.
Can you have cameras in dorm rooms?
This is a prickly topic given the privacy issues, but it fundamentally follows the same rules as having a security camera installed in the home. Some college campuses have security cameras installed throughout the various areas around dormitories, like entrances and other common areas. These cameras are typically handled and operated by security personnel, or are simply there for continuous recording.

Inside of a dorm room where students sleep is another matter, are we’ll be focusing on this particular situation. Cameras are in nearly everything we own. From our smartphones to our laptops, it’s honestly really tough to find a situation when a camera isn’t present these days. Individual schools may have their own rules on installing security cameras inside of dorm rooms, but if you share a room with someone, you should probably have their explicit consent.

It’s official: You don’t need to spend more than $100 on true wireless earbuds

Two years ago, if you wanted a set of true wireless earbuds with features like active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency mode, wireless charging, great battery life, and great sound quality, you were looking at spending at least $180, but probably closer to $250-$300. But time has a funny way of leveling the playing field and nowhere has that been more true than in the true wireless earbuds market.

Today, you’ll still pay upward of $250 for the very best models from top-tier brands like Sony, Bose, Apple, and Jabra, but you no longer have to do that just to get access to leading-edge features. In fact, the latest cohort of true wireless earbuds priced around $100 is so good, most people won’t benefit by spending more. You may not recognize the brands, but don’t let that stop you. I've had hands-on (and ears-on) time with each of these earbuds, and they won't disappoint. Let’s take a quick look at some of the features that are most in-demand, and how much you need to spend to get them.
