Poler – The Nap Sack: A Sleeping Bag Jacket

Take your girlfriend’s snuggie, cut off the sleeves, man it up a bit and you’ve got yourself the Nap Sack from Poler.

This part sleeping bag, part puff jacket hoodie serves as both an apparel accessory and an impromptu sleeping ararngement. Friends will be jealous, significant others will be bummed, but you will be nice and cozy when-and-wherever you decide to pass out.

Here’s how it works:

Roll up the bottom, zip open the arm holes and you’ve got yourself a super warm and comfy puff hoodie complete with a front zipper and ipod compatible chest pocket. Use it as a changing robe or use is as a couch/campfire companion!

When you are tired, pull in your extremities, zip/cinch yourself up and voila! You’re snug as a bug down to 50 ° F. No more climbing out of your sleeping bag to check the surf or losing your warmth when nature calls!

When not in use, the Nap Sack rolls up into a convenient little bag that stores easily in your truck or pack making it a crucial item for the space-conscious wanderer. Take it with you backpacking or keep it close by when couch-surfing.

O’Neill Murca Boardshorts -Pong Meets Patriotism

The party animals at O’Neill have institutionalized beer pong as an official summer sport in America. The Murca boardshorts combine pong and patriotism, giving your beer pong team the intimidation factor necessary to edge out your competition across the table.

No gimmicks here! Murca has fully functional features designed to party-proof your game. Beer pong is a messy sport of chucking balls and chugging beers, meaning plenty of collateral damage to your favorite shorts, shirt, cellphone…and dignity. These trunks are made to submerge in and repel liquid, then dry out for the next round. And who hasn’t been forgot a ball or bottle opener? Well, Murca comes with both! The only thing they’re missing is a steam-cleaner for your beer soaked carpet.

Now that you have the gear, it’s time to make the rules of your game. Write down your house rules to avoid disputes, because it will get heated. Pick some fun rules from the SWELL party crew, but don’t enforce too many buzz-killing infractions, just have fun and drink responsibly.

  • 1. Your house, your rules
  • 2. No leaning: Thrower’s elbow cannot break threshold of table, or cup is not counted
  • 3. Both team members sink it, drinks a 3rd cup
  • 4. NBA JAM: Player who makes 3 consecutive cups, and calls “I’m heating up” on the 2nd, shoots until he misses
  • 5. No blowing: unless you’re a girl
  • 6. Bounce/bank shot: drink 2 cups
  • 7. Only 2 re-racks: Teams can request cups re-organized in more a compact area
  • 8. Accidental makes in water cup: Thrower gets cup in face
  • 9. Both team members make in same cup: Shooters throw again
  • 10. Overs: If overthrow ball is caught one-handed without bobbling, thrower drinks
  • 11. Satellite Cup: If you make it into a cup that should be drank, game over.
  • 12. Any left-over beer after the game is drank by losing team
  • 13. Gentleman’s Toss: Balls the bounce back to thrower can be re-thrown behind back with no defense
  • 14. Troll Rule: Player who doesn’t make a cup in a game, sits under the table for the entire next game (see below)
  • 15. Distractions are encouraged, but cannot block view of cup

AMBSN Home BoardshortsThey don't just have cutting-edge style... they have a sense of humor

The AMBSN favorite is back, and the HOME volley shorts have pledged allegiance to party.   Co-founding brothers Dylan and Dustin Odbert know how to have a good time, and that fun-loving spirit is in every handmade pair.    These California kids took this patriotic style to the next level with a contemporary cut and silicon washed microfiber suede.  AMBSN were the first in the action sports industry to push short style towards shorter and slimmer cuts, and this roached elastic waist short is an instant classic.

They took the same humorous approach to their ad campaigns, posting a parody of American Apparel in Vice Magazine. This spoof ran on the back cover, while the American Apparel ad graced the inside cover. The AMBSN ad campaigns always entertain their young, well-dressed demographic who get super pumped on ridiculous trends like Movember’s mustache grow-a-thon.

The shorts have a 16 inch outseam, new-wave low-rise fit, and contrast back patch pocket with a metal eyelet drain. Traditional tie and Velcro closure, and supreme-suede fabric make this your surf-hard, party-hard summer essential.

We love seeing these guys cruising around San Clemente, and they rip at skating and surfing.  Get your California made HOME Volleys here
