Alpinists have trusted the lenses and side shields on Vuarnet Glacier sunglasses for better contrast and glare protection since the 1960s. The redesigned ICE is now built for the modern adventurer with nylon and rubber instead of heavier metal and leather. With removable shields, these frames look good on Main Street, too.

We’ve used skis built to go fast on packed snow, and others that float through powder, but the Renoun Citadel set is the first that adapts to conditions on the fly. A soft polymer, layered beneath the sleek carbon-fiber skin, reacts differently based on the stress applied: Hit compacted snow hard and the skis stiffen to go faster, but dive into fluffy powder and they become supple. Now, whatever the conditions, you’ll be ready.

With its bright colors and sci-fi vibe, the Heatworks Tetra might be mistaken for a toy. But this countertop dishwasher is a workhorse that cleans two place settings in 10 minutes using less water than hand washing—and without any installation. Plus, the glass top means you’ll never wonder if the dishwasher cycle is over.

While we love a good leather-wrapped club chair, their look is decidedly bulky. The Kelly Wearstler Ardent has a lighter contemporary silhouette with a pewter finished steel frame, softened with rounded edges. Though it looks like a chair to reserve for company, the comfy linen velvet back and seat pair nicely with a Negroni, a novel, or NFL Sunday. Trust us.

Dyson’s V8 was already a sleek, effective stick vac for eradicating dust and dirt, but the Cyclone V10 Absolute bests it with longer run time and stronger suction. The V10 also gets a new in-line dustbin for a svelte, more modern shape.

The world’s most stylish portable grill is a British design that will spark some serious envy in your full-size cooker. The Everdure Cube has a bamboo cutting board that locks in place and a flat top for easy packing to the beach, and it gets rocket hot like a larger charcoal grill. The matte-finished enameled steel and boxy shape are a welcome refresh to the shiny black kettle—don’t be shocked if you reach for it to cook steaks on the back patio.

Making great French-press coffee means nailing finicky water temperature and brew time. That’s where the Rite Press comes in. Its built-in tools include a thermometer and an hourglass timer, so you know when to plunge and pour. Cleanup is easy, too, with a removable bottom chamber that collects the wet grounds.

Until “OK Google, make me a barbecue rub” becomes a reality, the Tastetro is the next best thing. This sleek dispenser meters out exact amounts of 20 spices and herbs. But it really shines when you want any of its 50 preprogrammed blends, which make everything from Italian salad dressing to chimichurri sauce as easy as scrolling through the touchscreen.

Replace the flimsy shovel and ice scraper in your trunk with the MMTH Gear Tusk. This all-in-one tool helps scoop snow away from the car and scrape ice off windshields. Pull the orange squeegees across windows to remove snow without scratching. Our favorite part: The steel blade made for chipping ice off the wheel wells.

You might be tempted never to chop with the Miyabi Black Chef’s Knife and just mount it on your wall. But this handmade showpiece means business with about 130 layers of carbide steel that give it a higher hardness rating than a typical chef’s knife, so it stays sharp longer. Unlike single-bevel Japanese blades, which take some getting used to, the Miyabi has two bevels and feels like a regular chef’s knife.

The Rabbit corkscrew is the easiest way to pop a cork, but the brand’s update, the Axis Lever, is a refined version that you won’t have to hide in the drawer. The clean lines, articulating handle, and matte finish are three more reasons to open a bottle of vino.

The Zen Float Tank brings the calming benefits of an isolation tank to DIYers. The inflatable tent uses a heater to warm 200 gallons of filtered water, and 800 pounds of Epsom salts (included), to body temperature. The woven PVC walls block light and sound, helping you float into a semi–dream state you’d never reach in your tub.

Typically, earth-toned robot lawn mowers are designed to live life in the back- ground—plodding around the yard unnoticed. Not so with the race car–like lines, bright paint job, and aggressive wheels on the STIHL iMOW. It screams, “Look at me!” while getting the job done. Schedule a time to cut, then watch it leave the dock, mow for an hour and head back to its base to recharge. You can even pro- gram it to work at night, but that means your neighbors are less likely to see it—and that’s half the fun.

There are few things lacking in the entry-level priced Ferrari Portofino. Though its fastback shape mimics a coupe’s, that’s actually a hard retractable roof that you’ll want to retract to hear the bi-turbocharged V8 hum.

Not a worshiper of the classic alumi- num Airstream? Then the Nest is for you: The company’s first fiberglass trailer is a boxy, modern two-tone take on camping with an interior that looks more like a Boeing first-class luxury suite than an austere tow behind. Opt for a queen size bed, with a well-appointed kitchen and full bathroom in a build that’s light enough for any SUV to haul.

Porsche tends to hew closely to its storied driving heritage, but with the Mission E concept, the brand takes a big swing toward the battery-powered future. The all-electric model, which will be called Taycan when it debuts in late 2019, will boast far-out (but functional) curves, along with devastating performance, via a four- wheel-drive system that delivers 600 horses and hit 60 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds.

Even novices recognize the Ducati pedigree—toss a leg over one and speed and style are your copilots. With the Panigale V4, the brand pushes their envelope even further thanks to Ducati’s first pro- duction four-cylinder, which generates a mind-blowing 214 horsepower, reaching 0-60 miles per hour in less than three seconds. Being a Ducati, all that hulking power is wrapped in body that looks like it’s speeding, even in the driveway.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan may be the brand’s first SUV, but it’s no less ridiculously posh than its sedan stablemates. While the all-wheel-drive model floats above terrain on an air suspension, you’ll probably appreci- ate the bespoke interior’s mélange of metal, hardwoods, glass, leather, and heated front door armrests, even more.

Hyundai’s luxe offshoot has finally landed a punch. The lithe GENESIS G70 not only looks the part—it sits lower and wider than the German competitors it’s gun ning for—but it also features a more responsive chassis than most cars in this price range. Surprised? Don’t be: The dynamics were tuned up by a former boss at BMW’s M group.

The MERCEDES-AMG PROJECT ONE delivers every gearhead’s fantasy: the bleeding-edge tech of the world’s most competitive race cars in a street-legal build. The mid-engine two-seater derives its speed from a hybrid drive- train that pairs a compact 1.6-liter V6 gas engine with four electric motors—combining for more than 1,000 horsepower. You’ll (try to) control it through a squared-away F-1 style steering wheel.
