Repel water without retaining it with Flylow's newest jacket

After a full day on the slopes, there is a high chance your gear is going to be soaked. That’s why modern gear is always looking for better ways to keep people dry.

No matter how waterproof a jacket is, it’s often the wearer’s own sweat that makes them wet. By creating a barrier to keep the water out, jackets often prevent the sweat from evaporating out. The Lab Coat from Flylow plans to change that. It’s a waterproof, breathable jacket without compromise.

Flylow specifically designed the Lab Coat for climbing, skiing, and snowboarding in the mountains. The jacket needed to withstand harsh and variable conditions and temperatures. In order to provide a strong fabric that is both breathable and waterproof, the jacket needed to be made with Polartec NeoShell.

Neoshell is an engineering breakthrough in fabric technology. It uses dynamic air exchange at the fabric’s surface to stop water and wind from penetrating without restricting the release of excess heat and moisture. To get this to work properly, Polartec lowered the internal temperature required for vapor to permeate the sub-micron membrane. In simple terms, moisture is released more easily and air can circulate faster and more easily than is the case with other protective materials. All this while still allowing durable stretch, recovery, and abrasion resistance.

The Lab Coat has other features that make it perfect for a snowy adventure as well. Watertight zippers and large 14-inch underarm vents keep you dry, while articulated sleeves allow for a full range of motion. To keep snow from getting inside during a tumble, there is a removable powder skirt. There are plenty of pockets for storing gear, and when you are all done with the jacket, its lightweight design makes it easy to pack up.

The Lab Coat is available directly from Flylow for $525 in sizes small through large.

This Costway outdoor pizza oven isn’t messing around — $169 off for Black Friday
Costway outdoor pizza oven on patio

Forget those indoor-friendly pizza ovens. Forget the low-flame and low-smoke options. Me, personally, I want the real deal. That's why when I came across the Costway outdoor pizza oven I knew I had to share. It comes with a pizza stone, for authentic stone-cooked pizza duh, and a waterproof cover to protect the grill. But here's the best part: It can fire-cook a 12-inch homemade pizza pie. Oh, yes. Normally $309, it's on sale today for $140, which saves you $169. That is an incredible deal, let alone for something like this that can handle the fire and brimstone. It's live already alongside some other great early Black Friday deals.

 
Why should I buy this Costway outdoor pizza oven for Black Friday?
The best thing to do when it's time to cook, in my humble opinion, is to head outside and light up my trusty Blackstone. It works great, but if I want to wood fire a pizza I'll need something else. That's precisely where this Costway outdoor pizza oven comes in handy. You can adjust the level of fire and smoke to create a perfectly cooked pizza for your family, charred or not. The dual thermometer makes it easy to adjust the temperature when it's lit. Moreover, the under storage allows you to place some wood, utensils, or whatever else you might need -- so you're not always traipsing back to your shed, house or garage.

Be ready for storm season: Dual fuel portable generator is $150 off today
Pulsar dual fuel portable generator with gas can in background

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.
