Live Like Jack Bauer

Filed under: Apparel, Gadgets, Timepieces / Watches

If you're a fan of the hit show 24, you know exactly how cool Jack Bauer is. He saves the world many times over in every season and kicks some serious bad-guy ass while doing it. For the sake of health and sanity, watching Jack Bauer's life is far safer than trying to live it, but living like him is certainly possible. Uncrate has a guide to living like Jack, so that you can get some of the perks from being one of the most dangerous people in the country without any risk to life or limb. Must-haves include the Special Ops Watch ($450) that was once available only to military personnel, a "Jack Pack" messenger bag ($19) and a Motorola i880 ($250) with antimicrobial coating for safeguarding against germ warfare.

Medical insurance, though less glamorous than the above items, is probably also a good idea.

Get Yourself A Xubaz, A Luxist Giveaway

I was traveling a few weeks ago and trying to only have one carry-on and so I did not bring a purse only a laptop bag. Unfortunately I did not want to lug my laptop bag around all week so I took my wallet out. Long story short, I left my wallet in one location and didn't realize it until I was hours away and had to beg a friend to drive me back. I could have used a Xubaz. What's a Xubaz? Basically it is looks like a scarf but it also has places for your wallet, iPod, lipstick, keys and boarding pass. There are also a couple of clips that you can attach to your belt or outfit so that when you bend over to deal with your luggage your Xubaz doesn't go flopping all over the place. The Xubaz can be easily rolled up and stashed went not in use.

Bernt Kuhlmann, the developer of the Xubaz, was kind enough to offer me a whole bunch of Xubaz to give away to a few of our jetsetting Luxist readers. You can win your own Xubaz, (a $60 to $80 value depending on the model) by leaving a comment about where you would wear your own Xubaz down below.

UPDATE: This contest is now closed.
