THE STUNNINGLY FAST EV
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S ends the idea once and for all that electric cars can’t be a thrill ride. This sedan’s electric motors generate up to 750 horsepower as an 800-volt electrical system gets you from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. Nearly as fast: It reaches an 80 percent charge in 23 minutes. From $186,350; porsche.com
THE KILLER CAMERA PHONE
The three cameras—wide, ultrawide, and telephoto—on the Apple iPhone 11 Pro get plenty of attention, and rightfully so. But what we love nearly as much is night mode, which turns dim restaurant dinner shots into art. Bonus: all-day battery life, thanks to the fastest processor Apple has used in a phone. From $999; apple.com
A Puffy Made to Move
Down’s warm, but keeping loose feathers from slumping requires stitching and baffles, which create air channels. The down sheets in the Eddie Bauer EverTherm Down Stretch Hoodie hung tough with us during backcountry adventures and kept us nice and toasty. $399; eddiebauer.com
Rock Steady Trail Runners
Blasting to the top of Boulder’s 6,843-foot Mount Sanitas has never been easier than in the low-drop, race-ready Dynafit Feline Up Pro trail runners. The quick-lace system disappears, so there’s no risk of snagging, and the chunky Vibram outsole clamps down on the sketchiest terrain. $170; dynafit.com
