Ever get sick of Apple's Lightning cables crapping out on you? Check out Nomad's ultra-rugged alternative, which is made of braided ballistic nylon with a kevlar core. It won't scratch, tear, or fray, and thanks to its in-line cable tie — made from liquid silicone rubber — it won't get tangled either.

Nomad stress-tests these cables to the point where they can handle 10,000 multi-directional 150-degree flexes at the Lightning connector, and they're so confident in the cables' durability that they guarantee them for five years.

The cable comes in two lengths:

• 1.5 meters (~4.9 feet) — $30
• 3 meters (~9.8 feet) — $35

There's also a 1.5-meter universal version that has a micro-USB connector by default but also sports two interchangeable tips that convert it to Lightning and USB-C, respectively.
