A lot of SSD readers like to ski and snowboard and a lot more are Oakley fans. At SIA, Oakley unveiled their entry into the snow sports helmet arena. Under development for three years, the Mod 3 and Mod 5 helmets incorporate a modular brim system so the wearer can choose the correct interface ti get a tight seal between helmet and goggle. Additionally, the chinstrap is magnetic, the liner is removable and it’s got a BOA fit system.

The Mighty Pen Co offers several great Christmas gift ideas such as pens, keychains and shaving gear. These items are made right here in the USA by a combat veteran.
Take for instance this Black Ops MIGHTY PEN made from a 7.62 case. It features a Black Cerakote finish and Gun Metal fittings.
While I think the various pens are cool, my favorite product is the 50 BMG Razor / 20mm Badger Hair Shaving Brush set. It’s really beefy, incorporating both .50 and 20mm casings to form handles for the traditional razor and badger hair brush. Even better, it’s currently on sale.
Sweden’s Grimfrost offers another great Christmas gift idea. They’ve got drinking horns in a variety of sizes and styles, including stands and belt hangers, all perfect for your next viking fest.
