TranStrap by Josh Rubin
I think of riding the subway as urban snowboard practice; I'm also a bit of a germaphobe. This usually results in a wide stance with back to doors and hands in pockets. But sometimes the ride is particularly bumpy or I'm just not in the mood and this results in the uncouth pulling of a shirt sleeve over the hand to provide a barrier between me and the bar.
These complications are entertaining, but sometimes it would be nice to have an alternative. Apparently the folks at Transtrap had the same idea. They've made a simple hook and loop that you take with you on the train to serve as a personal subway strap. There are 3 models to choose from ranging from $15 - $17.

Five Lip Balms
by Passa Chattra We're all connoisseurs of lip balms to different degrees. We have preferred brands because of how well they work, the packaging they come in or whether it comes in a stick or tin. Some (like myself) are addicted and habituated to swiping their lips after each sip of a drink, end of a meal, after a phone call or during conversation....

Eco Pneumo Dry Sack
by Passa Chattra If you've spent anytime hiking or camping you know the value of keeping your stuff dry. Nothing can be worse than having to sleep in wet clothes after crossing two rivers, hiking a few peaks, and the temperature has dropped 20 degrees. There are lots of high tech dry bags that will do the job, but the fact is the materials...
