__Old Hat__ Classic helmets look great, but old gear won't safeguard your brain—the protective materials deteriorate with age. The new Bullitt, an homage to 1970s designs, lets you rock an old-school look while wearing an actual safety device. Because looking good after the crash is important too. [__Bell Bullitt Helmet | $400__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HLUSEXC?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Station Agent__ The speaker grille and analog knobs are cutely retro, but this radio's rubberized exterior signals a decidedly modern sense of style. It manages to reference the past without dipping into sappy nostalgia. We can't say the same about the *Prairie Home Companion* coming out of the speaker. [__Lexon Mezzo Radio | $77__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C2KVAO6?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Brand-New Bags__ Tumi deploys its trademark durability and style in two new Capsule Collection offerings. The Ames Backpack mixes leather, ballistic nylon, and wool, and easily stows your 15-inch laptop and iPad. The Bashford Duffel is perfectly sized for a weekend trip to the shore.

__Got Juice?__ When your gizmos are running on fumes, Tylt's slim battery pack can provide a second life. Its built-in cables—one Lightning for your iOS devices and one micro USB for Androids and e-readers—will juice up whatever mobile gear you've got. [__Tylt Energi 5K+ | $90__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA3EGGM?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Slumber Jack__ This sleep tracker seeks to rebuild your slumber from the bottom up. A pad beneath your sheet tracks your heart rate, breathing, and body movements. The bedside unit detects environmental changes and uses its LED and sound system to gently wake you. [__Withings Aura | $299__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LC2VWJI?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20 "Withings Aura")

__Space Capsule__ Bedroom storage is a necessity, but it can also be beautiful. These units, designed by architect Anna Castelli Ferrieri, are in the collections of both New York's MoMA and Paris' Pompidou. Pick from different designs to fit your needs and add casters to keep them mobile. [__Kartell Componibili Modular System | $50–220__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008L31JSU?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Right as Rain__ Inspired by South American designs, these striking ponchos are engineered to handle all forms of water falling from the sky. Waterproof and cotton-lined, they're comfortable for cyclists, festivalgoers, or just regular humans with a keen eye for utilitarian design. [__Otto London Urban Poncho | $150__](http://www.ottolondon.com/urban/)

__Baby On Board__ Stokke's stroller adapts to your child's growth thanks to its convertible seat, which features five positions, rear- and forward-facing modes, and a height-adjustable footrest. Lockable swivel wheels, rear-wheel brakes, and reflective accents promise a smooth and safe ride. [__Stokke Crusi Stroller | $1,249 and up__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIRQ0K8?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Miniature Multiplex__ Last-minute technical issues be damned. Pull this mini projector out of your briefcase, unfold the stand, and you're keynote-ready. The wireless cinema is small—about 10 inches tall—but powerful. It can fill screens from 9 to 90 inches. [__Bem Wireless Kickstand Portable Projector | $500__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3R1EYW?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Thar She Cuts__ Japanese blacksmith Toru Yamashita originally created a whale knife as a children's tool to sharpen pencils. It may look adorable, but beware: The blade is sharp enough to slice through the most stubborn of envelopes. Or fingers. [__Kujira Whale Knife | $55__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LAFYK1Y?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Wonder Twins__ This offset Bluetooth speaker pair certainly appears cool, but its form actually aids its function. The slight angle amplifies and enhances sound. Added bonus: Built-in magnets allow the speaker bases to snap together for easy storage or portability. [__11+ Sound1 Speaker Set | $85__](http://store.leibal.com/collections/11/products/sound1)

__No-Scream Ice Cream__ The last place you want to get caught spraining your wrist is at the bottom of an ice cream pint. The angled head and spade-shaped edge on Belle-V's scoop makes scraping up those last bits of rocky road as painless as turning a doorknob. [__Belle-V Ice Cream Scoop | $50__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCJB9AA?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Crossover Vehicle__ The Budnitz Model No. 3 will help you navigate curbs, potholes, and any other city obstacles with its rustproof 3.6-pound titanium frame and silent carbon belt drive. But the bike's massive 29-inch wheels and 2.35-inch-wide tires make it equally suited for off-road trails. [__Budnitz Model No. 3 Bicycle | $4,745__](http://budnitzbicycles.com/bicycles)

__Field of Dreams__ Lytro's latest shooter looks like a high-end mirrorless—and snaps a photo like the best of them—but it's actually a light-field camera. It records the entire depth of field within a scene, allowing you to refocus the picture, make a 3-D image, or create perspective effects in post-production.
