Darn Tough Vermont
¾ Micro Crew Mesh Sock (Run/Bike)
Darntough.com
I have somewhat of a weird, hidden super-power:  I have unnaturally strong, razor-sharp toenails.  Think about it like this:  Pretend Wolverine writes for SLUG and they ask him to review some gloves.  Well, that’s what happens to my feet, and I am only slightly exaggerating. The folks at Darn Tough were kind enough to send me some socks to tear to shreds, the way I had torn up millions of other socks before these.  I scoffed at the idea of socks being “guaranteed for life” and pretty much decided to sabotage these by wearing them every day and doing what I do best: merely existing. I wore them on my runs (they are light! And wick away sweat!), I wore them on my rides (again, light!  And breathable! Seamless construction!), I wore them to work (fuck work). I washed them over and over, and while I could see that the 1494 stitches per square inch of Merino wool were definitely damaged, they had held strong for the duration of the review time. The only thing that didn’t hold up was that the color in the heel wore out, but who cares.  Merino wool, people.  These win, and there is something for everyone.  Buy ’em up.  They’re guaranteed 4 LYFE.  –Mary Ryder

My Top Off
Bottle Opener
The Beer Nut and Mytopoff.com
Why do they make it so damn hard to open a beer?  I have never been able to open one with a lighter, and people always jack openers from my house if they are not already broken. My Top Off solved all of these problems. Anyone with hands can use it, this thing won’t bust and it is just big enough that it won’t find its way into any drunk’s pocket. All you have to do to get your nectar is push down, then lift off and a little magnet on the inside snags the cap. The magnet feature has to be the best—all other bottle openers fling the caps into strange directions only to be found by bare feet the morning after. Nothing brings a hangover into the light like stepping on the business end of a bottle cap in a dark kitchen. You can get yourself one of these solid bottle openers in black or in stainless steel at mytopoff.com, but fuck paying for shipping and waiting—grab one from The Beer Nut right in Salt Lake. –Eric Granato
