What is a hurricane? Basically it is a tropical cyclone with crazy intense rain and winds that blow around in a circle.  The winds can blast off roofs hundreds of miles inland, form tornadoes, and cause massive flooding and power outages.

How do most people die? Off the coast, huge domes of water called “storm surges” form from the storm, and the heavy water crashing down destroys everything in its path.  90% of people killed in hurricanes are victims of storm surges.  What does this mean?  CANCEL YOUR TRIP TO THE HAMPTONS OR JERSEY SHORE.

What are your survival kit necessites? The standard “emergency go bag” needs to have at least 3 days worth of supplies.  The checklist includes a battery-powered radio, cash, credit cards, flashlights, candles, matches, extra batteries, first aid kit, blanket, food, water, and clothing.  We are obviously most concerned with the clothing aspect so here are our picks on what you will need.

Blue pill or red pill officially does not matter anymore. Anyone can step into The Matrix  with the Rick Owens Drkshdw Black Long Hoodie. The best part is you don’t even have to be on PETA’s shit list with this Keanu ready jacket because it’s made out of cotton.  If this really does mean we’re one step closer to The Matrix being real life, I hope it’s the second one, because that underground orgy rave looked like a blast.

Nike’s latest hoodie is quickly becoming Standard Issue for World’s Greatest. With Tennis Champ Maria Sharapova as a fan, we’re pretty convinced.

In fashion, you’re constantly bombarded with the latest and greatest in a plethora mind numbing categories; this seasons greatest bag, the summers must have flip flop, the perfect clutch for your Yaz birth control (seriously, Nina Garcia was pushing this one), after a while it’s all a blur.

Of course, there are some announcements you can’t ignore. Case in point,  Nike’s AW77 Hoodie.

Being touted as “Standard Issue for World’s Greatest”, the new AW77 Hoodie features a couple of pretty advanced improvements from the basic fall throw-on.

The hood offers some major cushion and comfort and is designed to zip up to your chin to block any chills. French looped cotton lines the hoodie, providing some major warmth and a bit of a lux alternative to traditional cotton. Nike’s history with athletes led them to make sure the hoodie holds its shape and withstands the punishment of daily training. And it’s finished interior, flatlocked and taped seams means no exposed edges which means you’ll always feel the warm and covered.

Nike really pulled out all the stops for the AW77 and it shows in every element of the Hoodie. Best of all, there are two types of AW77 you can purchase, SHIELD, a water resistant element blocking tech hoodie designed with windproof zippers and watershedding construction, and WARM, an insulated hoodie equipped with double layer hoods and quilted insulation to keep your core temperature warm in even the harshest New York winter.

A highly covetable must buy for those who want more out of their hoodie, the AW77 is the perfect edition to any closet.
