Wool Stones  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  August 7, 2012  |  No comment



[$300+] For the discerning rock lover, we humbly present Wool Stones. They’re essentially giant throw pillows, but through some clever design work they look just like smooth stones. (more…)

Tactical Lighting  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Light    Posted date:  July 20, 2012  |  No comment



[$229] Tired of all that wussy track lighting running all over your crib? Tactical Lighting has got you covered – it’s the only lighting system that looks as deadly as an M4 and has the versatility to go anywhere. (more…)

JVC ADIXXION Camcorder  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Camera    Posted date:  July 12, 2012  |  No comment



[$300+] GoPro can suck it. There’s a new player in the action sports tiny video camera for your snowboard/car/surfboard/special set of first person goggles. That’s right, the JVC ADIXXION can stick right to your face, making for some really nice FPS style videos of you eating shit on a skateboard. (more…)

Want: 2013 Subaru BRZ  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Cars    Posted date:  June 29, 2012  |  No comment



[$25K+] We’ve never posted a car on Uppgrader, but we really like this one. The Subaru BRZ is a fun little driver’s car that doesn’t lay waste to your checking account. (more…)

Alpine Rucksack  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Outdoors, Pack    Posted date:  June 28, 2012  |  No comment



[$400] In the mood to buy a really expensive backpack? Yeah, neither are we. But if we were, this Seil Marschall Alpine Rucksack would be our pick. (more…)

Jetovator  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  June 18, 2012  |  No comment



[$9000] Question: what is water-propelled, goes 25mph, dives like a submarine, and sets you back nine grand? The Jetovator of course – or in more general terms, basically a dirt bike combined with a jet pack. Check the video after the jump. (more…)

Sires Crown Moorea  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  June 7, 2012  |  No comment



[$300] Ain’t nothing wrong with some sustainable wood sunglasses. Sires Crown agrees, and so does their stylish Moorea offering. (more…)

Mark McNairy Grey Suede Derby  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Kicks    Posted date:  June 5, 2012  |  No comment



[$320] I’m not sure if I want to wear these Mark McNairy Grey Suede Derbies, or mount them on a pedestal carved from marble. Seriously, if you need to be keeping it classy, you need a pair of these bad boys. (more…)

Gtar  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Music    Posted date:  May 24, 2012  |  No comment



[$350+] We’re not big fans of Guitar Hero and the like- games like that just distract people from doing stuff that actually requires talent like, oh I don’t know, picking up a real guitar and learning to play. However the one thing we’ll give that game is it does intuitively teach you how to hit buttons in the correct order, so why not apply a similar system to a real guitar? That’s more or less what the folks at Gtar have done. (more…)

Sit In Pool  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  pool    Posted date:  May 21, 2012  |  No comment



[$250] Only the French could come up with a name for pool furniture as completely bland and thoughtless clever as Sit In Pool. But even though the branding is lacking, the product is not: think high end furniture that floats. (more…)

Made in America Skillets  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Grub    Posted date:  May 8, 2012  |  No comment



[$250+] They may not be the easiest thing to cook on (we’re guessing), but Made in America Skillets are pretty damn amazing. Each of these hand-made skillets is shaped like your favorite state and made to order. If you can afford to buy the entire country so to speak, you’re both dedicated and a baller. (more…)

hOme Watches R-Class  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  April 3, 2012  |  No comment



[$500+] Here at Uppgrader we like our watches big, bold, and sexy, kind of like that waitress we had at IHOP this morning (call us, Betsy). hOme Watches R-Class meets all those requirements and then some. (more…)

Jellyfish Tank  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Fishing    Posted date:  March 28, 2012  |  No comment



[$250+] I won’t deny it: jellyfish suck something fierce. But what you don’t notice about them as you run out of the ocean screaming like a little girl is that they’re actually pretty cool looking. The Desktop Jellyfish Tank let’s you get a good long look at these bastards without running the risk of a nasty sting. (more…)

Tentsile: Hammock Tents  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Outdoors    Posted date:  March 13, 2012  |  No comment



[Custom] Yup, that’s a tent suspended from the trees. It’s called the Tentsile and it’s either the coolest idea ever, or a massive lawsuit waiting to happen. Probably both. (more…)

New iPad 3  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  iPad    Posted date:  March 8, 2012  |  No comment



[$500+] Honestly, what did you think we’d be covering today? The Apple iPad 3 (or is it New iPad… HD?) was just announced yesterday, and already thousands are pouring into the streets with their knives and handguns, prepared to battle fellow shoppers for a good camping spot outside their Apple Store. (more…)
