In an 'always on' world, losing battery life can feel like the end of the world. Kathmandu is looking to stop this from happening with their new 'Connect Smart Bag'. It is integrated with a Joey smart unit, enabling you to have portable power on the move.
There is no doubting that for adventurers who enjoy outdoor pursuits, this could be a lifesaver, wearable tech that isn't just a gimmick. If you were to get lost or hurt, then it can vitally extend the life of your device until help can arrive. Often products targeted to outdoors focus on functionality over style. But, this new bag combines both. It means that we wouldn't be averse to using it as we commute around the city - staying connected heading from meeting to meeting.
Having your phone in your bag could provide a security risk. I feel safest when my device is in my trouser pocket. To allay my fears, the bag is packed with a distance alarm should your phone get separated from the smart unit. You can also use the Joey smart unit to call your phone and help find it.
The powerful battery can add 25 hours of talk time, and you can even charge your phone and Joey unit through a dual connector when at home. Also, LED lighting illuminates your bag contents in the dark, which for me would mean being able to find my keys for once.
So, for those who travel a lot either for pleasure or work. Then this new smart bag could be an ideal companion.

Barbour is renowned for its ability to create products that can help you battle the elements. Since 1894 they have been making products that are both durable and functional. It started with clothing mariners against the harsh conditions of the North Sea, and it is their nautical heritage that has inspired their new range, 'Stormforce'. Their autumn/winter collection utilises innovative production techniques to protect against upcoming colder conditions. Key features include technical trims, waterproof zips details, hood detailing and above all, insulation and warmth.
One of the key pieces is the 'Thermo Overshirt' (pictured above). It features double patch chest pockets and is bang on-trend for those looking for a military style that can be easily layered.
Fleece is an essential material to utilise across outerwear products due to its insulation properties. We see Barbour use it across a lot of their products including the 'Gustnado Jacket', and the 'Switun Quilt'. The latter built with an inner fleece lining.
Gustnado Jacket
The 'Gustnado Jacket' is a snorkel-hooded parka. It comes with a detachable fur trim collar and built-in fleece-lined pockets to keep your hands warm — a godsend when the temperature plummets. With a front zip fastening and studded front storm guard, the jacket is completed with an autumnal hue of Agave Green.

Legendary Savile Row tailor, Edward Sexton has launched a brand new button-down shirt. It is their answer to a relaxed semi-formal look.
The shirt is created using superfine Italian denim in a mid-blue wash. It comes with the same pointed cut you would expect from a Sexton tab collar shirt. But, it is fitted with hidden tabs that fasten to the shirt beneath the collar points.
This design elevates the denim shirt like we haven't seen before, and it is worth noting it will also take on its unique style over time. The more it is worn, the shirt will soften and fade slightly.
