Mummy bags warm
up faster than other
styles because of
their snug fit, but
they can also be
constricting. The
20-degree
Torchlight UL fixes
that with extra
wiggle room. A
full-length zipper
on each side of the
chest lets you
change the bag’s
shape on the fly:
Pull them partially
for 10 inches of
extra shoulder
room or yank them
all the way down
and turn the
Torchlight into a
wider, semi-rectan-
gular bag. Now you
can zip tight on
cold nights or let
the bag out when
it’s warmer. $350;

A CONVERTIBLE OVEN
In the same way a KitchenAid
stand mixer has pasta- and
sausage-making attachments,
there are now plug-in add-ons
for ovens. The SmartOven+
has a grill pan that sears steak
without filling the kitchen with
smoke and a steamer that’s
spot-on for delicate fish or
vegetables. Pizza night? The
baking stone heats up faster
than a traditional one to cook
a pie or crisp up leftovers. The
attachments plug in to the
oven and, when you’re done,
nest together to fit inside.

A CONVERTIBLE


MUMMY BAG


The Polestar 1 is what you get when an automotive
designer runs a car company: a vehicle with
fantastically obsessed-over details like a pano-
ramic glass roof that stretches over the driver’s
head. Leading the 1, the first car from Volvo’s
luxur y brand, is CEO Thomas Ingenlath, formerly
the Swedish parent company’s SVP of design. But
the grand-touring four-seater is more than just a
looker—it boasts a carbon-fiber body and hybrid
powertrain with a combined 616 horsepower and
738 lb-ft of torque. $155,500; polestar.com
