It’s time to gear up for summer and get out on the trails. This month features some of our favorite brands and products themed around outdoor recreation and lifestyle. From electric bikes and sunglasses to lanterns and utility decks, we have you covered.
Boondock Decks — Utility Deck
Boondock Decks is a Canadian-built brand focused on redefining utility, durability, and organization for modern overland and work-ready trucks. Designed and manufactured with real-world use in mind, their flat deck systems provide a rugged, streamlined platform that transforms a pickup into a highly capable expedition or jobsite vehicle. Built from high-quality materials and engineered for strength without unnecessary weight, Boondock Decks deliver a clean, low-profile design that maximizes usable space while maintaining a sleek, integrated look.
At the core of the system is a purpose-built flat deck that eliminates the limitations of traditional truck beds. Its open, modular design allows users to customize their setup for hauling gear, mounting accessories, or supporting overland builds. The deck is reinforced to handle demanding conditions, from remote backcountry travel to heavy-duty daily use, all while maintaining easy access from all sides of the vehicle.
Seamlessly incorporated into the design are Boondock’s precision-fit storage boxes, which are not an add-on but an essential part of the system. These boxes are engineered to sit flush within the deck structure, providing secure, weather-resistant storage without compromising deck space or aesthetics. The result is a cohesive solution where tools, recovery gear, and expedition essentials remain organized, protected, and instantly accessible.
Boondock Decks prioritizes practical functionality, clean design, and long-term reliability. Every detail—from mounting points to material selection—is considered to ensure the system performs in harsh environments while remaining user-friendly. Whether outfitting a truck for overlanding, work, or both, Boondock Decks offers a unified platform that enhances capability, efficiency, and overall vehicle performance.

Dillon Optics — Corsair PM-07
Dillon Optics sets a new standard in performance eyewear with its NIR Technology sunglasses — a precision-engineered solution for those who demand absolute clarity without compromise. Designed for professionals, athletes, and discerning outdoor enthusiasts alike, every pair reflects the same commitment to excellence that has defined the Dillon name across the precision optics industry.
At the heart of these sunglasses is Dillon Optics’ proprietary NIR® lens technology, engineered to eliminate unwanted internal reflections that compromise visual performance in conventional eyewear. By neutralizing the light scatter and ghost images that typically degrade clarity, Dillon Optics’ NIR lenses produce a viewing experience that ranks among the clearest in the world. Whether navigating sun-drenched mountain terrain, open water, or high-glare field conditions, wearers benefit from an unobstructed, true-to-life view that performs as precisely as the instruments that inspired it.
The exceptional optical performance is matched by an equally refined approach to frame construction. Dillon Optics engineers each frame from premium TR90 Nylon — a highly flexible, lightweight thermoplastic polymer renowned for its durability, impact resistance, and ability to hold its form under prolonged stress — combined with titanium components that deliver an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and long-term structural integrity. The result is a frame that sits featherlight on the face yet stands up to the rigors of demanding environments, season after season.
From the anti-reflection NIR® lenses to the aerospace-grade materials in every frame, Dillon Optics sunglasses represent the convergence of science and craftsmanship. They are not simply sunglasses — they are an extension of the precision philosophy that has guided Dillon from the beginning, now brought to the way customers see the world every day.
