Will Away help shift travel trends again? Remember when they first hit the market, hard-sided luggage was reserved for luxury brands. Most suitcases at the time were made from fabric. Well, now they're taking a crack at a bag with a softer side. Made from a high-strength nylon exterior, the carry-on features the same compression pad packing system (complete with integrated laundry bag), sturdy telescoping handle and 360-degree wheels, but this one is a little easier to pack, since it feels deeper thanks to the zippered top flap (instead of the clamshell design of most hard-sided suitcases). Also, a fabric bag will always have more give, allowing you stuff more inside and a new, proprietary stabilizer will help you steer clear of wobbles and bag tips.

These are Baggies taken to the extreme. These shorts from Nike's ACG line are inspired by Oregon's rugged hiking trails. They're made from a breathable, water-repellant fabric, and are finished with an adjustable belt and plenty of secure pockets for holding all your outdoor essentials, including some oversized mesh cargo pockets on the side. The roomy fit is designed to give you plenty of space through the seat and thighs for easy movement on and off the trail. But our favorite detail has to be the custom triangular carabiner, which mimics the ACG logo, integrated into the front belt loop.

Go ahead and call these shades a remix. The legendary Ray-Ban Wayfarer has been around since the 1950s. The dark frames are the very definition of “timeless,” looking good on just about everyone in every decade. But the brand recently introduced a new version, dubbed the Wayfarer Reverse, that is simultaneously sleek and modern, yet remains masculine and classic. The main difference in these frames is that Ray-Ban, for the first time ever, utilizes concave lenses instead of convex lenses. This swap not only follows the natural curve of the cheekbone for a more universal fit, but is engineered for comfort and less readjusting once they're on your face. Of course, they also offer 100% UV protection and an anti-glare coating that reduces reflections by up to 70%.

When it's too hot to wear a jacket, try a lightweight overshirt. Designed specifically for warm weather layering, this handsome and understated navy shirt has a collarless V-neck design that'll contrast nicely against a white T-shirt. It's made from breathable cotton and cut in a relaxed, slightly boxy shape with a patch pocket inspired by workwear. Wear it open over a tank, half-buttoned over some stripes or buttoned all the way up with a simple undershirt. It's a cool way to introduce layers this summer without overheating.

This piece brings new dimensions to any room. Literally. This topographical map of the United States is meticulously printed, heated and vacuum-formed over an intricately detailed 3D mold. It brings a one-of-a-kind tactile experience to the art of cartography. The three-dimensional print is made with precision using official NASA elevation data to create the most accurate and detailed map possible. Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but you can visually and tactically explore the country's incredibly diverse terrain from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Trail.
