Bold & Bright x Champion – Most know about Champion’s reverse weave sweats. This bulletproof fleece from way back when is constructed with a reverse stitch that makes it more durable, and drastically reduces shrinkage. For the last couple of reverse weave projects, fans had to endure oversized branding logos to enjoy the fleece, but not this time. Bold & Bright keeps it real simple and does it up sans logo and branding in some choice colors. From the bright tonal pink and yellow to the springtime green and blue, the collection stays true to the original Champion reverse weave look, and is ultra comfortable thanks to the 90% cotton and 10% polyester blend.

ASUS ZenFlash – Smartphone cameras can nearly match up to more expensive point-and-shoots, but the Achilles heel has always been the lowlight performance. Even with a dual flash, pictures can come out grainy, but thankfully ASUS has a solution. Their new ZenFlash sticks to your phone and is powered by a cable attached to your micro USB port. With everything in place, the ZenFlash uses a Xenon bulb to produce a flash that is 400 times more powerful than that wimpy LED flash. ASUS has not released a price or release date, but those that enjoy nighttime shooting should consider this a necessity.
