Arcade X Sherpa Adventure Gear Rambler Belt
This lightweight, adventure-ready belt does more than just secure your britches. Arcade teamed up with Sherpa Adventure Gear to offer a limited-release belt with a greater purpose: five bucks from every Rambler sold will be donated to an education fund for children in Nepal.

BioLite Headlamp 330
Many headlamps have a protruding design that becomes cumbersome on long treks. BioLite’s Headlamp 330 offers a sleek alternative with a bright light (330 lumens) that sits flush against your forehead and is held on by a slim moisture-wicking band. Conveniently, the headlamp’s battery also recharges via micro USB.
