__Best Dressed__ Stay seasonal with this three-in-one dress built for a range of temperatures. Using 100 percent recycled polyester pucker weave, it's water-repellent, wind-resistant, and length-adjustable (read: bike-friendly). The dress also features detachable sleeves and ruching at the collar that doubles as a scarf. [__Nau Chrysalis Dress | $235__](http://www.nau.com/womens/collections/pedal/chrysalis-dress-606w01.html)

__Hi, Mr. Billfold!__ Ditch your George Costanza wallet for this lightweight one, which fits three cards and includes a separate textured pocket for folded cash. It may be small, but it's meant to carry the bare minimum and lessen your load, making your rear silhouette a little more symmetrical.

__Solo Performance__ It's all in the name: The North Face's Fuse Uno mountaineering jacket uses just one sheet (hence “uno”) of material by changing the fabric type while weaving. The origami-like pattern reduces seams by more than 40 percent. (The more seams, the more weight and the easier a jacket wears out and lets water in.)

__Auto Didact__ Automatic's palm-sized device plugs into the data port under your car's steering wheel. It transmits info on gas usage and engine problems from your vehicle's computer to your iPhone through the Automatic app. Then it'll alert you when you're exhibiting behavior that wastes gas.

__Escape Pod__ This sedan offers the luxury you expect from Audi, and its technology integration is top-notch. The 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot option means the car can stream video, gather traffic updates, and find open parking spaces. But please don't abuse the feature—no YouTubing on the George Washington Bridge.

__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.

__One Less Car__ Designed and manufactured in Portland, Oregon, the Cylo One tackles some common cycling woes: The bike's frame includes integrated lights so you don't have to worry about losing clip-ons, and its fenders, disc brakes, and carbon belt drive perform like champs in the rain. [__Cylo One | $1,790 and up__](http://www.cylo.cc/)

__Sound Logic__ A good hands-free headset should sound great, fit comfortably, and not make you look like a dork. Jawbone's Era uses a contoured earpiece to stay put, and its noise-cancellation technology will ensure your callers will never have to ask you to ring back after you've left that wind tunnel.

__Problem Solver__ Consider this your bike's first-aid kit: By combining a spoke key, tire lever, lug wrench, and screwdriver (by way of its swappable bit heads), the Nutter can remedy routine bike problems—and pop open your postride beer. A leather pouch is included for stylish stashing. [__Full Windsor Nutter Cycle Multitool | $68__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GRITX2U?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

[__Tylt Energi 5K+ | $90__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA3EGGM?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)
