No one wants to be soaked in the rain while running errands. Choosing a high-quality rain suit can prove to be a cumbersome task since there are a lot of considerations and features to look out for. There’re certainly a lot of styles and brands, so how do you know which is the best rain suit or which one you should buy?

Identifying purpose is the first step, followed by researching the most important features that keep you comfortable as well. Waterproof suits or jackets should have good quality drawcord or velcro seals for adjustability and easy maneuvering.

For uninterrupted outdoor activities where you can be exposed to rain, like golfing, traveling, hunting, fishing, camping, and riding a bike, you’re going to need full-coverage protection to keep you dry and comfortable. Here, we have bundled a list of the Top 5 best rain suits on sale for you to choose from in order to keep you dry as well as safe in different situations.

Before we get into the topic of what racing games you must get for your brand new Xbox Series X or the more affordable Series S, it’s important to set the context as to why it’s worth playing the following games on these consoles.

Mankind’s need for speed transcends full-size cars and motorsport to stretch into video games and toy cars, too - RC cars, to be more precise.

So whether you’re looking to impress you pals with your brand-new lightning-quick RC car or you just enjoy raising a rooster tail after a heavy rain on your street, here are some of the fastest RC cars you can buy (and maybe race) today.

The e-scooter industry might still be in its infancy, but these electrically-powered machines are enjoying an increasing amount of popularity by the day. People living in big cities have rushed to adopt this new trend out of purely practical reasons - with so many cars stuck in traffic, e-scooters are the shortcut more, and more people are willing to take. Factor in their relatively low maintenance costs and the fact that you can easily fold them for storage or transport purposes, plus the advantage of not getting to your destination with a sweaty back, like it happens with bicycles or kick scooters, and you get an unbeatable recipe.

But with high demand comes high offer. With more and more people looking to get an e-scooter, companies that produce them have multiplied like rabbits, and others are joining them as we speak. This means that you, the buyers, now has hundreds of options to choose from, from low-end, cheap e-scooters to performance and off-road-oriented ones. So, which one is best for you? Well, only you can decide that, but we’ll give you a hand with a guide that touches on what key aspects you should consider before placing that order.

Lego won’t slow down its Speed Champions range expansion in 2020, which means one thing: we are in for some interesting new sets which, in case you didn’t get the memo, will be 25% larger (eight-stud wide instead of six-stud wide) than the previous ones, so this basically means more details without the use of stickers and the fact that you’ll be able to fit two mini-figures inside a car, as it will no longer use a centrally-mounted steering wheel setup.

The Danish toymaker has confirmed five 2020 Speed Champions sets so far, but in typical Lego fashion, we’re willing to bet that more builds are going to be announced along the way. In all fairness, we’re eager to get our hands on each and every of these sets, so that’s why we’ve included all of them below. Luckily, we won’t have to wait too much for them to hit the stores (physical or online, for that matter) as Lego’s planning to launch them on January 1, 2020. They’re not yet on sale, but we’ll update the article with extra links once they hit the market.

2019 was a good year for Lego fans around the world, particularly for those who have learned to cherish the Danish toymaker’s Speed Champions sets, as the brand has been churning out some interesting builds.

What’s more, Lego isn’t keen on slowing down its Speed Champions charge, so 2020 is bound to bring its fair share of stunning car sets to our desks. We’ll treat that topic in a separate article, though, so for now, let’s see what were 2019’s best Lego Speed Champions sets.

There’s no shortage of carmaker-maintained driving schools out there. In fact, we’ve already covered some of the more thrill-inducing experiences from Maserati, BMW, and Porsche.

Mind you, there are 127 cars that players will be able to race, customize, and evade police with in Need for Speed Heat, so we’ve grouped them under their respective carmakers to allow a better reading.

Calling all dads, mothers, sisters, brothers, coworkers, and bosses out there: we’ve put together the definitive list of LEGO sets you must have in 2019. So whether you’re buying one for yourself or looking to make a gift out of it, you’ve come to the right place. But before we get to the point, here’s one for you: did you know that LEGO makes more tires every year than Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Michelin? Yes, it sounds utterly outrageous because it is. But it’s also true. In fact, as of 2012, the company churned out around 318 million tires each year, about 870,000 mini-tires every day. And guess what: some of those tires will help the following sets get that extra grip as they decorate your room or office. On that note, it’s time to see what 2019 has in store for us. The LEGO Store, that is.

Whenever there is news of an upcoming Grand Theft Auto game it is BIG news. The current GTA game has so far grossed $6-billion, which is more than any blockbuster movie in history and it’s still being bought today, nearly six years after it was released. Now we know there is a new installment in the works, GTA IV, and this is what we know about it so far.

It’s likely going to feature a multiple city setup that will see the characters travel from one city to another via airplane. Seamless integration of all platforms is also one of the rumors - you’ll essentially even be able to play the game with the best possible graphics settings on your smartphone via streaming and play with people connecting through different platforms. GTA IV will have several main characters which the player will be able to cycle through to advance the story, however there is a chance that one of these characters is a cop or female... or maybe even both.

This and plenty more will be analyzed below in this frenzied quest to uncover as much about the next GTA as possible, a quest that was sparked back in March of 2018 when the YouTube channel “The Know” uploaded a video containing several bits of information about the upcoming Rockstar Games title. Back then the big news was the possible return of the series to a familiar and fan-favorite location.

Car dashboard cameras are not a novelty anymore, which is why you can literally browse through an ocean of offers of dash cams of all shapes, sizes, and levels of technology. It’s that abundance of products that can often mislead the customer and leave him scratching to top of his head while being bombarded with all sorts of offers. So to make things easier for you, we’ve done the legwork, combed through Amazon’s vast number of car dash cameras, and came up with six winners split into three price brackets: dash cameras priced under $50, between $50 and $100, and over $100. This way, you’ll be able to stay within your budget’s limits but also make the choice that brings the most value for money. With that said, let’s check out the proposals.

Here’s one for you: BMW was the first carmaker to offer driver training courses more than four decades years ago - to be more exact, 42 years at the time of writing. Back in 1976, the BMW Board saw fit to share the knowledge of correct vehicle handling and ways of driving in critical situations with the wide public by teaching motorists how to identify and react to the dangers they frequently encountered in traffic. But for that to happen, the manufacturer needed a so-called “School for Drivers.” And it came in 1977, when the BMW Training events kicked off on 22 April in Maching. BMW commissioned the services of its own M GmbH division to supervise the training modules, at that time led by the legendary Jochen Neerpasch. The support vehicle was a BMW 320i. Fast forward to 1991 and we witness the birth of BMW Snow Experience, which took place for the first time in Ötztal, Austria, inside a winter training facility found at an altitude of almost 3,000 meters. As of 1999, driver training expanded to include the famed Nürburgring - the first support vehicle to take on the Green Hell was a BMW Z3 M Coupé. Last but not least, 2006 sees the opening of BMW’s Arjeplog Testing Centre and subsequently, the BMW Ice Training events were relocated to Sweden.

Let’s face it, America has been in love with the Chevrolet Corvette since day one. But with the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 out of the bag, the love affair has all the chances in the world of getting more effervescent. After all, a mid-engined Vette has been somewhat of a wet dream for Chevy and with that finally turning into reality, the Corvette fanbase is in for an ego boost. Truth is, however, that not all of us will afford the new Corvette C8, even if it’s priced at under $60,000, which is way cheaper than its most notable rivals. Yes, McLarens and Porsches, I am looking at you. So why not celebrate America’s greatest sports car with these cool items you can find on Amazon?

When it comes to driving experiences, Porsche has by far the most comprehensive and varied offer of all carmakers out there. The company’s presence on so many markets around the world has allowed it to expand its Driving Experience tentacles all the way to the Arctic Circle, China, USA, and of course, Europe. It doesn’t matter if you just want to get a proper travel experience or a lot of circuit driving hours under your belt - there’s a high change Porsche has exactly what you need. Not to mention, they also provide off-road courses and driving courses on ice and snow. Here’s everything you need to know.
