Whether you associate it with the San Francisco Giants, Halloween, or Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, there’s something undeniably fetching about the contrasting color combination of black and orange. This eye-catching juxtaposition of hues has the ability to easily inject some stylistic flair into any outfit or loadout. And, to demonstrate this point, we’ve hand-selected an array of black and orange offerings to deliver this month’s guide to the best gear on Amazon.

Produced in a variety of color options, The North Face’s Salty Dog Beanie is a dockworker-inspired winter cap that features a knitted acrylic construction,  versatile cuffing, an interior jersey-lining, and a signature TNF logo patch. 

Available in a variety of sizes ranging from 14oz to 50oz,  the CamelBak Chute Mag is a double-walled, vacuum insulated water bottle that’s capable of keeping drinks icy cold for a full 24 hours. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, the Chute Mag boasts a swappable magnetic top, unique sweat-proof insulation, and a rugged attachment loop for carrying the bottle or securing it to a carabiner or bag. 

Suitable for cycling as well as motocross, Fox Racing’s Airline gloves offer solid protection from abrasions and minor impacts without mitigating the wearer’s dexterity. Produced in eight different color options, the Airline gloves are composed of an amalgamation of polyamide nylon and neoprene and sport silicone-printed fingertips for added grip, airflow- and dexterity-bolstering stretch nylon finger gussets, and single-layer perforated Clarino palms. 

An extremely capable EDC knife that’s available for below the $100 mark, Spyderco’s Delica 4 is comprised of a fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle that’s equipped with a reversible pocket clip and a sturdy back-lock mechanism. The polymer handle has been paired with a 2.875″ drop point blade that’s crafted from VG10 blade steel and deployed using Spyderco’s signature thumb hole opener. This little workhorse of an everyday carry knife also weighs in at just 2.50oz.

Though Deus Ex Machina is best-known for its custom motorcycles and related garments and gear, the international lifestyle outfit produces items for a wide variety of activities, including cycling. Designing specifically for bicycling, the Deus Cycleworks Fleece features a set of hand pockets, an offset chest pocket, an arm pocket, and a rear kidney pocket — all of which are zipper-secured. 

Available in limited numbers, this special version of Oakley’s iconic Frogskin sunglasses was born out of a collaboration with nine-time Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champion Valentino Rossi’s VR46 brand, and features a subtle VR46 logo on the lens, VR46 branding inside the arms, and an exterior Oakley logo that’s been done up in a colorway that’s modeled after The Doctor’s hallmark SoleLuna helmets and race suits. 

Minimalistic and lightweight yet still immensely durable, Fjällräven’s Bergtagen 30 Backpack is a streamlined take on a mountaineering pack that was designed for more arduous and technical routes and trails. The bag’s strength is primarily owed to its construction: a 400-denier polyamide “Bergshell.” And, in addition to coming in other color options, the Bergtagen pack is also available in a larger 38-liter variant. 

Famously penned by legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Max 90 represented Nike’s second flagship shoe model, and though the pair was released in 1990 — as its name suggests — the model has seen a major resurgence in popularity in recent years, leading to new and unique variants such as the “Orange Camo” version seen here. 

Made by hand in America, the Deemerbox DB2 is an insanely rugged portable waterproof Bluetooth speaker that’s constructed around a crushproof Pelican hard case. On top of sporting a 100’ range, a dry internal storage bay, and connectivity to a smartphone app for remotely controlling the speaker, the DB2 also packs a wildly impressive 40+ hours of battery life on a single charge. 

A cutting-edge outdoor smartwatch, the Sapphire Edition of Garmin’s fenix 6 manages to cram an enormous wealth of features and functionality into a compact 47mm titanium case that’s paired with an orange silicone strap, a DLC-coated bezel, and a 1.3” display. Also available in a variety of other case sizes, colors, and model variants, the smartwatch boasts features such as GPS with preloaded topographical maps, along with sleep, health, and fitness tracking, Garmin Pay, built-in sensors for a three-axis compass, a gyroscope and barometric altimeter, and a battery that affords 14 days of life on smartwatch mode (or up to 48 days in battery saver mode).
