Must-Have Summer Items
As dapper dudes, we need dapper gadgets–especially for those hot Summer months. There are plenty of items you can purchase for this Summer, but some stand out more than others. Don’t waste your time searching up and down for what to buy when John Dapper has you covered. Here are our must-have Summer gadgets for 2012:
Schwinn Cruiser (The Panther):
This bike is as dapper and sexy as it gets. Being named after the panther, you can be certain this bike is all black. As men, most of us don’t like riding a bike because a majority of us are either too lazy or rather just use our car to get from point A to point B. However, you never know when a bike might come in handy–especially during Summer. With the warm weather coming up, you are most likely going to be outdoors. Why not go cruising at the beach or go on a bike date? Riding a bike isn’t only fun, it’s good for your health. John Dapper selects The Panther as the bike for Summer 2012 for its modern look with classic styling.
Hand Plane:
If you enjoy going to the beach and getting in the water to surf the waves, then the Hand Plane was made for you. At first glance it might look a bit bland and confusing, but it is very easy to use. The way the Hand Plane works is by grabbing the handle on the mini-board with your dominate hand and paddle into a wave right before it begins to break. Once the wave breaks and catches you, be prepared for a fun ride all the way to shore. It is the next best thing after surfing and boogie-boarding. Another dapper thing about the Hand Plane is that it is extremely easy to travel with. No worries about trying to stuff it in your car or strapping it to the top because it can fit anywhere. The Hand Plane is a must-have toy for the summer because of its functionality, innovation, and ease of use.
Lytro Camera:
If you like taking pictures as much as we do here at John Dapper, a nice camera for you would be the Lytro. This camera is very dapper-looking and very simple to use because it only has two buttons–the power button and the shutter button. During the Summer there will be plenty of stuff you want to take pictures of: women, your vacation destinations, friends, family, even yourself. The only problem is you might not always have time to adjust the focus of your camera and mess with the settings. This camera allows you to shoot first and adjust and focus later which definitely makes it a dapper camera. John Dapper chooses the Lytro camera as its dapper gadget of the Summer because we love pictures and this camera makes us love them even more.
iPhone Beer Bottle Opener Case:
We all know that the iPhone is the most popular cell phone in the world today. We also know that they have tons of different cases for the iPhone–but are there any cases with a beer bottle opener on them? There is now! One thing about Summer is that there will be plenty of parties and beer. No need to go searching for a bottle opener every time you crack open a fresh one when you can just use your phone. We like this iPhone accessory as a dapper must-have for the Summer because we like to drink beer and don’t like fumbling around looking for a way to open bottles.
PlayStation Vita:
Even though it’s Summer, you might just want to stay home and play video games all day. As long as you don’t do this every day, it’s OK. Sometimes, you might want to continue your game but have to leave the house for whatever reason. This is where the Playstation Vita comes in. This dapper little gadget allows you to take your video games on the road and has wi-fi and 3G connectivity. You can do more than just play video games with it to. With the Vita, you can surf the web, take pictures, send e-mails, etc. Just stick one of these bad boys in your bag before you head out the door and don’t be afraid to take it out whenever you feel like playing some video games. John Dapper likes the Playstation Vita because it’s easy to carry and does more than just let you play video games.
