Best for Beards

Panasonic Beard Trimmer

If you’re looking for a dedicated beard trimmer, we love this device from Panasonic, and apparently so do our readers. It’s easily adjustable and ultra-precise, with an astounding 9,800 cuts per minute. We also appreciate that it offers both corded and cordless operation, catering to a range of situations.

It's tough to find the perfect T-shirt these days, but we think we’ve cracked the code. The Mack Weldon Silver Crew Neck is both durable and comfortable and can easily double as a workout shirt. The only downside? It regularly sells out fast on its site. Yeah, it’s that good.

An Upgraded Smart Scale

Hume Health The Body Pod

We don’t recommend just any old scale, and this one seems to resonate with our readers just as much as it did with our gear editors. It provides a wealth of granular metrics, and we particularly appreciate the segmental fat analysis, which helps us ensure we’re shedding pounds the right way.

You can never go wrong with Calvin Klein, and that goes double for its boxer briefs. They’re supportive yet stretchy, providing all-day comfort and a perfect fit. We wear ours at the gym, for impromptu compression shorts, but prefer lounging in them.

We were early on the pickleball fad, and that’s not to brag — we just know our stuff when it comes to equipment. This premium pickleball paddle is worth its weight in gold, featuring a sleek design, an intelligently placed air hole for a faster swing speed, and rounded edges for improved control. It’s used by the pros, too.

A clothing subscription box is a great option for those who have neither the time nor inclination to dress themselves (or if they’re just plain bad at it). Our favorite is Stitch Fix, thanks to its wide range of budget options and customized curation that only improves with time.

Best Looking Swim Trunks

Fair Harbor Red Stripe Anchor

This is our all-time favorite pair of swim trunks thanks to its classic style, BreezeKnit liner, and wide variety of styles, colors, and inseams. It’s available in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch inseams for a custom fit that flatters any set of gams.

Oral health is an underrated aspect of general health, and we take it very seriously here. Amongst the standout electric toothbrushes we’ve tested, Oral-B’s iO Series 10 is the best of the best. With seven customizable modes, AI-driven real-time feedback, and an intuitive app to track your brushes, this is definitely worth the premium price tag.

The supplement industry is undoubtedly oversaturated, making it harder to find a good—and, not to mention, healthy—powder for everyday use. Our editors have thoroughly tested this grass-fed powder from Transparent Labs for taste, ingredients, and overall effectiveness, and apparently, our readers agree.

If you hate cardio with a passion, there are ways to basically disguise it completely. One of our favorite ways is courtesy of shooting hoops. We love the Lifetime Competition XL Portable Basketball Hoop for several reasons. It’s relatively easy to set up, features a durable acrylic backboard, and can be adjusted quickly.

Losing hair is a common and very rational fear for aging men. There are a few ways to get out in front of hair loss, though, and one of our favorite hair thickening shampoos comes courtesy of this Revita Shampoo from DS Labs. It will have hair looking thicker and more voluminous after a single wash.

Our editors spent months testing the top-rated multivitamins on the market, and they all came to a singular conclusion—Ritual’s Essential for Men was the winner. It’s USP-certified, features a delayed-release capsule design, and has a pleasant minty-fresh aftertaste. Ritual has really upped the ante when it comes to your everyday multivitamin.

Best Walking Shoe

Hoka Clifton 10

We’re unabashed fans of Hoka running and walking shoes, and the Clifton line is regularly amongst our favorites. The Clifton 10 made its usual great impression on us, thanks to its cloud-like cushioning, smooth transition, and versatile style. Our readers, apparently, felt the same way. No surprise there.

Best Set for Beginners

Callaway Golf XR Complete Set

Golf XR Complete Set

We test a lot of golf gear across various skill levels, and when it comes to beginner clubs, we couldn’t recommend the Callaway XRs enough. They're super forgiving and feature distance-improving technology—two elements that rarely go hand-in-hand. This full set is a little pricey, but it’s totally worth it.

If you want to stay active during your desk job, look no further than this WalkingPad Under Desk Treadmill. It’s quiet, easy on the joints, and keeps you moving on the day to day. After all, sitting is the new smoking.

The right workout apparel can be crucial to getting in a good lift or run. Vuori's Sunday Performance Joggers check a lot of boxes for us, and they are our favorite pair of sweatpants on the market. We especially love their versatility; they’re just as good for lounging as they are for heavy squatting.

We’ve similarly tested dozens of gym bags over the years, and this 2-in-1 Travel Duffle Backpack outperformed its competition. It's versatile enough to be used both as a backpack and a traditional duffel, and it features convenient pockets for your laptop, clothes, and gym accessories. Storage is aplenty here.

Speaking of lululemon, its ABC Classic Fit Pants top our list of best chinos for men. This shouldn't come as much of a shock to those familiar with the pants (or brand, for that matter). The ultra-stretchy fit provides all-day comfort while the ABC (anti-ball crushing) technology relieves tension in the crotch and thigh area.

The Perfect All-Around Body Wash

Nivea Men Sensitive 3-in-1 Body Wash

Comprising 92 percent all-natural ingredients, this deep-cleaning body wash is ideal for sensitive skin, keeping it moisturized. And if it wasn’t already obvious, we’re pretty big fans of the scent, too.
