Dads take a beating — and, like it or not, so do our clothes. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have nice things. That’s why we love this quilted lightweight jacket from UK outerwear manufacturer Barbour. It’s lightweight, yet warm and the quilted stitching gives it a fitted look with unmatched durability. Plus, Barbour offers lifetime re-waxing on all its products, so you can keep this versatile, three-season wardrobe stable looking slick and new for years. 

The term packmule takes on new meaning when you become a dad. If you’re not hauling your computer from coffee shop to coffee shop looking for a quiet place to work, you’re looking for a convenient way to tote everything from diapers to milk to fruit snacks, without looking like a total rube. A durable, aesthetically-pleasing everyday pack that you can carry or toss in the back of the SUV is a must. There are some great ones on the market. Our pick, from Peak Design, can easily (and safely) carry your laptop and camera and features a variety of compartments for extras like external drives, headphones — and, yes, snacks! Plus, its understated look makes it the perfect complement to almost any outfit. Use the expandable strap at the back to add your favorite picnic blanket and head to the park for a nice little Saturday!

Sometimes you just have to get away. Long trips won’t happen nearly as much these days with a kid in tow. But, assuming you have a competent sitter, or your in-laws live within driving distance, getting away for the weekend is a real possibility. Make this happen as soon as humanely possible. And take this quality leather bag from BOSTANEN with you. At nearly 22”-long and nearly 10”-wide, this stylish leather weekender is big enough to fit a couple pairs of pants and shirts, plus a book and an extra pair of shoes for dinner out. Not to mention your essential toiletries. Order it today, and hit the road tomorrow. You deserve it.

Music plays a big role in our household: it works as a stress reliever, brings calm to temper tantrums, has been the source of countless impromptu daddy-daughter dance parties, and keeps us all moving. But, sometimes, you need your music to move with you. We love Sonos products and the company’s new Roam bluetooth speaker is no exception. Pack this tidy 10-watt speaker in your bag and get up to 10 hours of stereo-quality sound wherever life takes you. A cool feature in the Sonos app lets you pair your Roam with other Sonos products (if you have them) and also tells you how much battery power you have left. My wife and I recently took one of these on our two-day anniversary trip to the Virginia countryside and listened to our wedding playlist while we exchanged gifts and sat by the pool. Cheers!

I never drank coffee regularly — until I had a kid. Now, my wife and I can’t live without it. This machine has become, without a doubt, the most indispensable appliance in our entire home. It’s so critical that, on long trips, we pack it up, as big as it is, and take it with us. We like the Veturo because it makes both coffee and espresso pods and the silver and black finish (other colors available) looks great on the counter amid our major appliances. Great coffee is hard to find. Before Nespresso, it was almost impossible to make at home. This machine changes the game, while giving you the extra bit of energy you need to get through the day.

Ah, quiet. Whether you’re on a cross-country flight, or simply trying to block out the chorus from Baby Shark playing on repeat in the living room, Bose’s outstanding 700 noise-canceling headphones are the best wireless headphones we’ve tried to date. Eleven levels of noise-canceling technology make these headphones perfect for everything from streaming podcasts to listening to Spotify to watching movies in relative peace. And, with up to 20 hours of battery life, you can get through plenty of content without a charge. Once-touch Spotify integration is a cool feature — and Bose, even if it’s feeling the heat from Beats, is still the gold-standard in sound quality. Treat yourself, or the Dad in your life today.
