Polar Bottle: Vacuum Insulated Sport Bottles
:: Several sizes and designs :: Lightweight and insulated :: Good pricing ::
Polar Bottle set out to make a sport bottle for bicyclists that would keep liquids cold during a long workout. With an engineering background, they met that challenge and added ergonomics, cool graphics and product evolution to deliver a solid lineup for many lifestyles- at very reasonable prices!
Insulated sport bottles come in three sizes and a wide range of graphics, as well as custom design options for your organization, brand, business or event. Fill with liquid and ice, then head on out! Sport bottles are even freezable so you can be creative with your icing strategy. The “Ergo” product line has a more sophisticated profile, “half-twist” cap for quick sealing, and uses an HDPE liner so it will work with hot or cold liquids.
Finally their top-of-the line ThermaLuxe, a stainless steel vacuum bottle for hot or cold liquid, featuring durable medical grade silicone gasket and half-twist cap. Great suggestion, Ernie- thanks for the tip. Made in USA, awww yeah!

Worksman Cycles: Bicycles, Tricycles for Work or Play
:: Reasonable pricing :: Easily custom-ordered :: Since 1898 :: Solid construction ::
Worksman cycles has been making bikes, trikes, tandems and human powered vehicles since 1898 – they are good for you, good for the environment, and easy on your wallet! We were pleased to see they even have a few models at Walmart 
, however the power of Worksman lies in ordering a custom model just for you!
One can quickly see the advantages of their configurable tricycles – be it for ice cream vendors, pizza delivery, university or company-wide campus traveling, or just for cruising around the neighborhood and picking up some groceries – their many options allow both comfort AND function. Some models even fold for easy hybrid travel to work, as you can carry on the bus or in your car.
If you or your parents live in a retirement community, this could be a perfect mode of travel! Check out their selection of traditional bicycles (Dutch style and cruiser styles) as well as their amazing industrial tricycles for carrying heavy loads.
Worksman does a majority of their construction here in the USA, such as machining ops, welding, painting, wheel building and final assembly. Some components are imported because of no available US suppliers, such as tires, tubes, spokes, saddles and a few other key components. But for all intensive purposes, their Made in USA factor and pricing ratio is pretty solid!
Check out photos of their bikes in action, even their specialty cycles for special needs and their cool surrey quadricycle for multiple passengers!

All-Ett: World’s Thinnest and Lightest Wallets
:: Many sizes, designs and colors :: Leather options :: Reasonable prices ::
When we received our sport wallet from All-Ett, our initial thought was that we had been ripped off… and I mean that in a good way! It was so ridiculously light and thin, that it almost felt like a paper wallet – however upon discovering the strength of the nylon material, we were soon relieved. If you have ever seen the Seinfeld episode where George suffers health issues from sitting on his fat wallet, you will appreciate that All-Ett is designed to prevent sciatic nerve damage and its associated pain.
All-Ett is a family owned and operated company that has been making wallets since 1995… Made in the USA! Designs include different configurations for men, women and travelers -several rip-stop nylon colors are one option (the same nylon used in boat sails), or you may opt for the slightly more expensive leather versions. Their leather is not bonded, making them softer and thinner than other wallet makers.

Kool Clipz: Clever Earbud Clip, Made in USA
:: Personal cable routing system :: Great prices :: Interchangeable designs ::
Kool Clipz are a clever system that solves the problem of loose-hanging earbud cables. Instead of flapping in the breeze or snagging onto the many appendages of this crazy, busy world, Kool Clips channel your earbud cables to your collar, and then guide them through to the inside of your shirt – which is the best way to maintain your Kool. Using a little bit of friction, your cable length may be adjusted so that you can set your perfect freedom of movement. Made in USA!
It may take a few seconds to realize how this clip system works, and how it may enhance your active lifestyle by keeping your mind off of the fear of yanking out your buds. But really it is a super simple and effective concept… just cross your cables, slide up to the loop at the top, then clip onto your shirt collar. The system works great if you run the cable down the inside of your shirt, and keep your tunes in your pocket. Just set it and forget it. This will come handy for our air traveling, because we are constantly yanking out our ear buds in those tightly confined spaces. Also great for the gym or for exercising.
Not only are they very affordable, the clip designs are interchangeable, and can be fun to trade. The clips have a surprisingly perfect friction connection to the design plates, yet slide in easily. Although they are made of plastic, they feel rugged, solid and flexible – and feel comfortable on the skin.
If you are looking for a good gift for yourself or for your kids, pick up a pack or two of Kool Clipz! You can choose singles or variety packs.

Wigwam: Great Socks for All Seasons
:: Great company :: Wide selection + hats :: Reasonable prices :: Since 1908 ::
After discovering Wigwam socks at our local Costco, we were amazed by the build quality as well as the value! Additionally, Wigwam also makes warm knit hats, beanies, wool caps, glove liners and more (some hats may be imported). Wigwam covers all the bases in their sock lines, from Merino Wool comfort hiking socks, to triathlon performance, to snow sport, to work boot crew and foot health comfort socks. They feature comfort without sacrificing style, and source their wool almost exclusively from American wool growers. Our feature image only scratches the surface of what they have available.
We are very impressed by their corporate policy and beliefs, as well as their continuing push towards greener operations (solar heated water, motion sensor lights, recycling, etc). Wigwam is active in Washington DC, lobbying for fair trade and reasonable import limitations.
From their “About” page:
“We care that thousands of manufacturers in this country sacrifice quality for less-expensive labor in other areas of the world, to increase the bottom line. We continue to lobby in Washington D.C. for programs that responsibly limit the quantity of imported products coming into this country while still pursuing a policy of fair trade with our many global neighbors. We care about the environmental, sociological, and financial implications of this policy.”
