Alright, bros, it’s once again time for my weekly ‘Things We Want’ feature. If this is your first time checking this out it’s a round up of all the awesome gear for bros that I came across in my travels across the web in the past week. Some of the stuff I plan on buying for myself (or have already purchased), other things are crazy expensive and I wouldn’t be able to afford them in my wildest dreams. But that’s why this is called the ‘Things We Want This Week’, and not the ‘Things We’re Getting For Ourselves This Week’, because we all need to know what the latest and greatest aspirational items are on the market, right?
Also, if you know of a product that you think should be featured in my weekly Gear Guide then feel free to hit me up via email at Cass @ Brobible dot com. And for those of you looking to have us test out products to be featured here you can contact me via that email for our mailing address.

Dudes! I’ve been a believer in Shure products for the majority of my adult life, since the moment I picked up my first pair of Shure earbuds back in college when I was working in the headphones/cellphones section of Best Buy on the weekend (I’ve always preferred Shure to Bose but that’s just me…). SHURE IS THE TRUTH, and if you’re not familiar yet I implore you to get on down to your nearest electronics store and check them out, but i you are fimiliar then you’ll realize just how big of an announcement their all new SE215m+ Special Edition Sound Isolating Earphones is.

A BEAR PROOF Cooler: Pelican Products ProGear Elite Cooler (45-quart)
What better way to prove that your cooler is one of the absolute toughest products on the market than to fill it with 35-pounds of fresh Alaskan salmon, cover it in honey, and let a crazed grizzly bear attack it? That’s exactly what the bros over at Pelican Products did with their ProGear Elite Cooler line, and as you can see in the video above it’s practically indestructible.

Philips-Norelco OneBlade Electric Trimmer ($34)
I picked up the Philips-Norelco OneBlade last weekend after hearing great things/seeing positive reviews and I’m here to say that it far exceeded my expectations. Maybe it’s just been a long time since I last dipped into the electric trimmer market but my experience with the OneBlade is that technology has advanced decades since the last time I used one of these devices. I was legitimately floored by every aspect of the shave: the precision, the speed, the strength…None of these things are how I’d describe my previous experiences, but the OneBlade blew me away…also, it’s just $34 on Amazon.
Details:
— Rechargeable OneBlade can trim, edge, and shave any length of hair.
— Trim it down – click on combs for a fast and even trim in all the right places
— Edge it up – dual-sided blade for precise edging to line up your style easier than ever before
— Shave it off – fast moving cutter to shave long hair, but not too close so your skin stays comfortable
— Replaceable OneBlade lasts up to 4 months. (For best shaving experience. Based on 2 full shaves per week. Actual results may vary.)

via Microsoft:
We chose SPARTAN-IV INITIATION as our theme because the aspirational aspect of becoming a Spartan super-soldier – slung into the trenches of a fierce battle against a seemingly unstoppable enemy in order to stave off humanity’s extinction – is central to our story of survival and sacrifice. It comes packed with everything the aspiring Spartan needs – a UNSC utility satchel, a Spartan-IV pullover, your fireteam pin, an exclusive Halo Icons Spartan Warzone figure, and more.
Remember, when you link your Microsoft account to your subscription, you will receive a special in-game emblem, exclusive REQ packs for Halo 5: Guardians and a unique forum badge on Halo Waypoint for being part of Fireteam Apollo.

You can actually elect for 3 different crate plans: 1 crate for $34.99, 3 crates over six months at $33.99/crate, and 6 crates over 12 months at $32.99/crate.

Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion — A New Product Made For Bros By Bros ($14.95)
Carpe
The dudes behind this product reached out to me earlier in the week. One of the founders is currently a senior at Duke University and I was impressed by his drive to launch a company while still finishing his degree at one of our nations’s most challenging universities. These bros saw the need for a hand lotion for men that stops sweaty palms from happening, one of the worst things a man can experience in an office atmosphere.
Here are the two founders watching their product made in the lab:
