When you're outside this summer doing whatever it is you do outside in the summer, chances are good you'll also be rocking some tunes. But the dangling cord from your earpieces can be a tangled pain in the ass while you're biking/beach jogging/generally recreating. So the tech guys over at Oakley decided, hey, you've already got something hanging from your ears, who needs cords?

Two new products in their Sports Performance line, the O ROKR PRO (pictured top), and the Split THUMP (bottom), pair their premium quality sun-killing eyewear, with top audio electronics, to give you outdoor listening pleasure, without wires.

The O ROKR PRO houses a Motorola Bluetooth headset that wirelessly streams music from your mobile phone or bluetooth adapter-equipped iPod, right to the multi-adjustable ear pieces. The only storage limit is set by the device streaming the music. If a call comes through, a single button push switches you over, and you'll hear the convo in both ears. Loud and clear.

Available in a variety of colors and lens tints, the Split THUMP houses an MP3 player ...More

I don't know what the guys over at TeamHard are hunting, but judging from the camo they're wearing, you can count me in.

From far away, it looks like any other traditional camouflage gear you'd see worn by a guy hunting, fishing, hanging out at a NASCAR race, or buying a tin of Skoal at the Piggly Wiggly. But get up close, and you'll start to see something more familiar in this camo: Strippers.

Yup. Morning Wood Camo is made from the overlapping silhouettes of strippers in 67 different positions. (Says Team Hard's Craig Olson, "Had I been thinking, I would have added two more.") The gear, which includes hats, t-shirts and even wallpaper for your computer and iPhone, comes in traditional Green, black and white Urban, and Safety Orange (so you don't get inadvertently shot while wandering among a pack of exotic dancers).

And to help you better blend into your surroundings the next time you're in your local pole palace, Team Hard and I are giving away an Urban Morning Wood Camo hat to twelve lucky readers. All you have to do is enter your email address here for a chance to win one. I'll pick the dirty dozen this Friday, May 23rd. Always remember, never hunt strippers without your Morning Wood.

If your gonna do a little grilling away from home - some tailgating at the game, a cookout at the lake, a flame grilled burger for lunch in the office parking lot - this portable barbecue and cooler set from VW DriverGear,let's you bring the party wherever you want it to be.

Everything you'll need is packed in this compact tote that takes up about as much space as an average sized duffel bag. (And fits in any car, not just V-Dubs.) The top part houses an insulated, waterproof cooler - with mesh pockets and a top elastic trap for holding ice packs - that zips out to reveal the charcoal grill and lid packed underneath. (And the grill comes in its own nylon bag to keep ash from getting everywhere after the event.) The front flap stashes the included premium tools: a large BBQ fork, easy-grip tongs and a spatula with a serrated edge and built-in bottle opener. (Which you should never forget, but somehow always do.)

You may have a cell phone that can make a call, play the latest video release, access the 'net, and give you turn-by-turn directions to the nearest steak house, but back in the late 70's, a gadget that could catch fish AND fit in your pocket is what got guys excited.

Early infomercials running on the limited channels of UHF television - many invented by the king of over-hyped gadgets, Ron "But Wait, There's More" Popeil - promoted products that made plaid-bell-bottom-wearing guys everywhere break out their BankAmericard and dial the toll-free number.

So in memory of a simpler time, before the number of apps in your handheld was a measure of your gadget-forwardness, let's take a look at the top five classic guy gadgets of the past.


The Pocket Fisherman
Essentially a toy version of a real fishing rod, it debuted in 1976 with Popeil proclaiming it as the wave of the future, ready to knock the fishing industry on its ass. A compact, folding rod and reel, made to fit in a pocket, some say that you can actually catch a fish with one. I'm thinking when the fish saw you with it, they gave themselves up because they felt sorry for you. Ridiculous a product as it was, by the end of 1976, one million units of The Pocket Fisherman were sold. And versions of it are still available today.




The Smokeless Ashtray
You gotta love a product whose commercial shows a guy, smoking in his car, windows up, wife and kids along for the ride, concerned he may be offending them. Never let it be said ...More

Touring pros get custom-made clubs tweaked and re-tweaked to fit their individual swings and course conditions, so why not you?

The interchangeable heads and shafts of Calloway's new game-breaking I-MIX technology let you reconfigure your driver depending on the course, how you’re swinging, or that day’s conditions. Need shot-shaping control? Grab the included precision wrench and lock on the FT-5 driver. Or is slamming it straight down the middle for yardage bragging rights what you need? Ratchet on the FT-i head instead.

And more than 70 of the most popular shafts are now manufactured with I-MIX shaft tips, which means you can choose from more flexes, weights, and materials than your golf-addicted brain can handle. Think of it as having an entire golf shop full of options in one bag.

FT-5 Driver - $435
FT-i Driver - $500
Shafts - $185-$435
