The Boss guarantees it will keep your drinks cold for days, boasting a layer of 3-centimeter PolarLayer XT Insulation foam. Pack all your cans or bottles in and rest-assured, you will have multi-day ice retention. In addition, the Boss features a unique IM AirValve that allows you to add air as needed —— serving for a level of insulation that goes above and beyond what any cooler has ever done before.

The Boss is designed to be packed like a cooler rather than a backpack. The wide mouth Tri-Fold DriTop enclosure allows you to load your contents with ease and completely unassisted, so you can enjoy the freedom of packing on your own and not worry about catching yourself on an unruly zipper. The body is made from durable MuleSkin fabric which is completely waterproof and will last for years. The MuleSkin fabric also features welded seams for waterproofing assurance and can handle more than 60 pounds of weight. In addition, the cooler is designed to float when empty, assuring it will never get left behind.

Most likely, you are going to want to bring more than just drinks on a trip and you will need separate storage to keep the rest of your gear dry. The Boss offers three oversized pockets with PakShield zippers to keep water out. They are also padded and insulated, designed to keep products cold if needed. Pack a lunch or just throw in your essentials — the Boss is designed to be as versatile as it is innovative. Tons of Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) and clip points assure that nothing will get left behind, whether you are headed out for a hike, a stroll to the beach, or a long day of fishing.

You can pre-order the Boss for $300 on Icemule’s website.

Mowing a lawn can be very therapeutic unless you have an older lawnmower, which makes life difficult and constantly causes you frustration. Luckily, you can snag a new lawnmower for a pretty good price, and even the more budget-oriented options have a lot of quality-of-life features that you wouldn't find on lawnmowers ten or even five years ago. To that end, we've gone about and collected some of our favorite lawnmower deals across the board, including some great robot lawn mowers that are worth checking out.

Juiced Bikes offers 20% off on all e-bikes amid signs of bankruptcy

Juiced Bikes Scrambler ebike

A “20% off sitewide” banner on top of a company’s website should normally be cause for glee among customers. Except if you’re a fan of that company’s products and its executives remain silent amid mounting signs that said company might be on the brink of bankruptcy.That’s what’s happening with Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes.According to numerous customer reports, Juiced Bikes has completely stopped responding to customer inquiries for some time, while its website is out of stock on all products. There are also numerous testimonies of layoffs at the company.Even more worrying signs are also piling up: The company’s assets, including its existing inventory of products, is appearing as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.In addition, a court case has been filed in New York against parent company Juiced Inc. and Juiced Bike founder Tora Harris, according to Trellis, a state trial court legal research platform.Founded in 2009 by Harris, a U.S. high-jump Olympian, Juiced Bikes was one of the early pioneers of the direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the U.S. market.The company’s e-bikes developed a loyal fandom through the years. Last year, Digital Trends named the Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 as the best moped-style e-bike for 2023, citing its versatility, rich feature set, and performance.The company has so far stayed silent amid all the reports. But should its bankruptcy be confirmed, it could legitimately be attributed to the post-pandemic whiplash experienced by the e-bike industry over the past few years. The Covid-19 pandemic had led to a huge spike in demand for e-bikes just as supply chains became heavily constrained. This led to a ramp-up of e-bike production to match the high demand. But when consumer demand dropped after the pandemic, e-bike makers were left with large stock surpluses.The good news is that the downturn phase might soon be over just as the industry is experiencing a wave of mergers and acquisitions, according to a report by Houlihan Lokey.This may mean that even if Juiced Bikes is indeed going under, the brand and its products might find a buyer and show up again on streets and trails.
