Now that the NCAA championship is over and the Celtics are lottery-bound, I can turn my attention to baseball and cheering on my Cubbies, who, as usual, are off to a slow start. My friend and former Small Dogger Geoff Blanck hooked me up with some tickets for when the Cubs visit the Red Sox in inter-league play at the end of May. While it isn’t at Wrigley (who is celebrating its 100th year as a major league ballpark), I am excited to see the new faces and bats in the Cubs lineup!

The Adapt will make anything with a 3.5mm audio jack wireless. Now you may talk on the phone with your old headphones or turn your car stereo into a speakerphone with its built-in mic.

Make sure to clip it to your favorite sweater vest for a totally hands-free experience. You may also skip tracks and control volume without having to touch your Bluetooth device. Your life is getting easier just reading this.

*Enjoy free shipping for the next week!*

The Buckshot features the same angular, triangle-themed design that is signature to many of the other products in the Outdoor Tech lineup. The rugged, rubberized exterior means that it’s no big deal if you drop it from time-to-time, and the built-in speakerphone and microphone means that you can have little hands-free calls with your therapist basically wherever you want.

Spring is here, and although last night was in the 20s, it quickly warmed up to 60 during the day. Ah, spring in the Valley! As the snow melts and mud season begins, it was time to dust off the bike equipment, put the skis away and make the transition. As I got my bike equipment out, I thought back to all the good times I had last year — I got a new cross bike for the dirt roads around here and used a new app called “*Strava*”:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/strava-running-cycling-gps/id426826309?mt=8&uo=4&at=11lb7k&ct=kibbles to track my rides.

As we all prepare to get back outside, I thought that there was no better time to bring in a company called “*Outdoor Tech.*”:http://www.outdoortechnology.com As their name suggests, these guys specialize in technology made for the outdoor elements. In particular, their speakers, “*Turtle Shell 2.0*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/85337 and “*the Buckshot*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/85341, both offer great sound, are water-resistant and have the ability to mount on a bike. The Buckshot includes a bike mount and can fit onto your handlebars (or, in the winter, fit on the chairlift bar) and is great for rocking and taking calls. Its cylindrical shotgun shell shape and single speaker design makes it super portable and great for hitting the bike path!

The Turtle Shell is larger, offering a louder sound with two speakers and battery bass. They claim it’s “louder than a bear’s roar!” I’m not entirely sure how they tested that, but I’ll take their word for it. For those of you who love to belt it out in the shower (really, who doesn’t?), you can mount it there or on your bike using the “*Turtle Claw.*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/85415 Either one will ensure you get heard this summer and keep you safe. A great speaker with good lows and highs. ??Note: I have found headphones while biking on the road isn’t the best idea, apparently cars use the road too — who knew???

We’ve also brought in some headphones from Outdoor Tech: “*The Adapt*”:http://www.smalldog.com/search?search=outdoor+tech+adapt and “*the Privates,*”:http://www.smalldog.com/search?search=privates an over-ear Bluetooth headphone with touch control and an awesome slogan — ??”Touch your privates in public!”??

The Adapt is just that — a great Bluetooth adapter that allows you to make any pair of headphones wireless. A very cool device for those who already love their wired headphones, especially for the ski/snowboard helmets with them already built-in. If you want to skip adapting your old headphones and step into something new, the Privates are a great pair of headphones that offer hands-free calling, as well as a touch interface for controlling play/pause, skip forward/back, and answer/hangup.

Check out the new line below and we’ll *ship it you for free!* Now get outside and enjoy the lovely spring weather!
