Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter If you’re planning to go climbing or trail running: Consider the Arc’teryx Atom Vest (men’s and women’s lightweight). Along the sides, this vest has non-insulated stretch paneling, which adds mobility and makes the vest more breathable. Like our pick from Montbell, this vest is durable and highly water-repellent, and it contains synthetic…
Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter Best for… These unisex fleece glove liners—available in a wide range of sizes—are stretchy and fit great, making them well suited for outdoor activities as well as typing. But though they’re effective at blocking wind, they’re only warm enough to wear just on their own in milder temps. The unisex Black Diamond…
Tenkeyless options The Keychron V3 is the previous version of our top pick, the Keychron V3 Max. It has many of the same features, but it lacks wireless, and the rotary knob costs extra. The Epomaker Shadow-S provides a pleasant typing experience, wireless support, and VIA compatibility, but it’s available only with linear switches, and…
Photo: Michael Hession Top pick Feit Electric’s bulbs offer brilliant color quality at an affordable price and work with a wide range of dimmers. They’re also easy to find in stores, and they come with a five-year warranty. The Feit daylight bulb produces a white, cool light that’s suitable for kitchens or offices, and in…
Green Kids Crafts, our former runner-up craft subscription box for kids ages 5 to 8, lives up to its “hands-on STEAM” promise. It has a small-business, made-with-love feel that I enjoyed as a parent. Green Kids Crafts offers two subscription options: the Junior Box, aimed at ages 3 to 5, and the Discovery Box, for…
This is not a comprehensive list of all the machines we’ve considered. It includes models we’ve tested that are still available. We liked the look of the stainless steel, red-knobbed Wolf Gourmet Programmable 10-Cup, and its ability to brew a 10-cup pot in a quick six minutes. It turned out a creamy, nuanced cup, and…
Chances are, you can stop reading this article right here. If you follow the steps above, and all the plumbing in your home runs through interior walls or up through the floors, and your home is reasonably well weatherized, “the risk of frozen pipes is very low,” Abrams says. That’s true even in chilly parts…
We tested three new knives from Bosch—the H11-11100-1 Folding Utility Knife, the H11-13000-1 Retractable Utility Knife, and the H11-12100-1 18mm Snap-Off Utility Knife. All three are excellent knives, but they don’t have the speed and ease of use that mark the Fastbacks. Milwaukee has a number of other Fastback knives, all of which are excellent….
Dave Gershgorn/NYT Wirecutter Upgrade pick The big sibling to our top pick, this printer adds an enclosed print space, a tougher nozzle, and other features for printing engineering-grade materials. The Bambu Lab X1-Carbon doesn’t make faster or higher-quality prints than our top pick, but it does have a larger and enclosed print bed for people…
Although AirHood doesn’t make significant claims about the machine’s ability to substantially impact air quality, it’s important to understand what this kitchen tool can’t do: eliminate all air pollution in your kitchen. According to the company, the AirHood 2 is ETL-certified as a “Portable Air Cleaner.” ETL certification signifies compliance to North American safety standards,…
