Sunglasses are perhaps the most effortless, versatile accessory on the market. Slip on the right pair and you can take your look from basic to bad-ass in an instant.

The only thing better than spending a day ripping through waist-high powder? Après beers, burgers, and other tasty pub grub that refuels like nothing else after a day on skis. Whether you’re a cross-country enthusiast or a downhill junkie, a post-adventure pint-and-nosh is certainly in order, since any kind of skiing burns mega calories.

We are very proud to announce that we've partnered with November Project as their official sunglasses sponsor. Over the last four years, we've made great friends with the good people at NP: we've been stoked to provide sunglasses to various events and summits, featured co-founder Brogan Graham on one of our Knockcasts, and have even shown up to 6:29am November Project workouts, right here in our hometown of San Diego.

Living in Southern California sure comes with plenty of perks. Thanks to idyllic weather, most days are spent outdoors soaking up the sunshine underneath clear blue skies. Whether it’s during lunch on a patio or a stroll to your car, the sun can make a huge impact on a person’s mood by relieving stress, enhancing sleep, and strengthening the immune system.

When it comes to cuisine, San Diego may be best known for its fish tacos and California burritos, but these days burgers are fighting for a piece of the glory too.
