Nostalgia and warmth collide with this new Columbia parka. It's inspired by the coats worn by the cast and crew during the filming of The Empire Strikes Back, and was designed just like the originals worn in Norway in 1979. More than just a collector's item, the outer layer features a removable faux fur trimmed hood, ribbed cuffs, multi-functional pockets, and Columbia's Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining — which is warm enough to stand up to the sub-zero temperatures you'd encounter on an ice planet like Hoth. Fans will also appreciate details like geographical filming coordinates in the lining, as well as a customizable nameplate on the chest pocket. Available at select Columbia locations across the country this week.
Options and mobility aren't wind instrument attributes. Roland's Aerophone changes that, giving you the ability to play digital saxophone, clarinet, flute, violin, and much more in one instrument. It's compact and built for mobility with an integrated speaker, headphones, and battery power capability so you can play anywhere and anytime. And the Aerophone Editor app allows you to jam along with your favorite songs, as well as set various playing parameters, and organize tone lists. Now available in a black graphite finish.
Built in collaboration with Japanese furniture designer Karimoku, the Roland Kiyola KF-10 Digital Piano is a display-worthy instrument. Its name, which translates to "elegance and beauty," is appropriate given its all-natural, hand-carved wooden cabinet. That sleek exterior holds an advanced PHA-50 keyboard with the same SuperNatural piano modeling found on the company's flagship models and an advanced pedal unit. When it's not being played, the unit's array of speakers can be used to playback nearly any other audio via a Bluetooth connection. Available in a handful of finishes to fit nearly any decor.
It seems like Amazon's Alexa is everywhere, but until now, you couldn't act on the questions and inspiration that only seem to come to you while showering. Aqua Dew is the world's first speaker with the voice assistant baked in, and can not only be a powerful asset in the bathroom but is equally helpful around the pool or hooked onto your gear during an outdoor adventure. It offers up to 8 hours of sound on one charge, is available in four colors, and features a suction cup and mounting plate for reliable placement wherever a waterproof speaker is needed.
Created in collaboration with Universal Music Group and The Beatles to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the White Album's release, this 2Xperience turntable from Pro-Ject is the perfect way to spin it. Nearly every piece of the deck is white, including the tonearm, the Ortofon 2M White cartridge — made specifically for this release — and the drive pulley. It's finished with an acrylic platter and Beatles graphics and is limited to just 1,000 examples worldwide.
