The Bear Stand Retreat

Modern, remote, and completely immersed in nature, The Bear Stand Retreat is everything you want in a rural getaway. The house is located on a 100-acre site along the shores of Ontario's Contau Lake. Clad in cedar siding and blackened fiber cement, the contemporary residence blends into the surrounding forest. The fir-lined interior covers sleeping for 12 throughout the four bedrooms while an open living room is arranged around a fireplace made from locally-sourced granite. On the exterior, private sauna, ofuro soaking tub, and hot tub offer a place to relax after a long hike of the property's private network of trails.

Bombas Seaside Dress Calf Socks

Summer is coming soon, and while we hope you're not wearing dress socks to the beach, you can start mentally preparing for the surf and sand with these Seaside Dress Calf Socks from Bombas. Made from a cotton/poly blend with just the right amount of stretch, they have the same seamless toes, Y-stitched heels, and honeycomb arch support that make Bombas' everyday socks so enticing. They also have Stay-Up Cuffs that keep them from sliding down your leg and are adorned with nautical stripes, seagulls, and snails, helping you get in the coastal mindset even if you're stuck inside for a few more months. As with all Bombas purchases, for every pair sold, one will be donated to those in need.

Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

Nike React SFB Carbon Low Trail Shoes

Combining elements of tactical boots with training shoes, the Nike React SFB Carbon Low is built for outdoor pursuits. It's built with Flyplate technology that uses a full-length carbon fiber plate to optimize stride, support the Achilles, and protect from sharp rocks. Lightweight React foam provides cushioning and energy return, while the mesh upper has a durable fabric midfoot overlay, heavy-duty stow-away laces, and a solid rubber toe reinforcement. It all sits atop an outsole of hand and sticky rubbers with rubber teeth in the arch for added grip on challenging terrain.
