Armada ARV 96 Skis
Arguably, the best all-around ski to emerge this year, boutique-brand Armada's twin-tip slope-sticks will have your bud comfortably tearing up any terrain the hill throws at them. These bad boys feature a new ash and poplar core for unparalleled lightness, rigidity, and all-mountain performance. Huck it! ⛷
F-4 Phantom II Ejection Seat III
With over 15 world records for in-flight performance, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II still remains in service some 60 years after it first took flight. The question isn't so much, does this belong in my bud's living room, as much as, am I comfortable with our friendship peaking at a level higher than the Phantom's altitude envelope (20,252m)?
