Today In Gear: End Your Week Here

Another total solar eclipse, a celestial event that drew millions outside back in 2017, will be visible from parts of the U.S. in April. This year’s path of totality spans from Texas to Maine, but a partial eclipse can be seen from all 48 contiguous states. And while you’re likely too late to snag a campground reservation for viewing, you’ll want to have solar viewing glasses handy if you plan to step outside on April 8.

Today we’re taking a look at an ice barrel, YETI’s new colorways and yes, a solar eclipse lens. This is Today in Gear.

Yeti

YETI’s New Colors

Yesterday, YETI dropped two new, limited-edition colorways to add to your cooler collection. Agave, a deep green-blue hue, and king crab, a bright orange inspired by the Alaskan crustacean, are available across much of YETI’s product line including drinkware, hard-sided coolers, soft-sided coolers, cargo, bags and other accessories like dog bowls and blankets.

Type 2 Campers

The VW-Meets-Airstream T2.3

Looking for a stylish, compact camper that can be towed by almost any vehicle, including EVs? Meet Type 2 Camper’s latest release, the T2.3. Choose from one of three floor plans, all weighing less than 1,000 pounds. The Sleeper + option (from $35,000) adds an electric water heater and outdoor shower to the Sleeper base model (from $29,950), while the Kitchenette option (from $39,000) offers the most bells and whistles with a dinette, induction cooktop and sink.

Nocs Provisions

Everything You Need for the Solar Eclipse

Eclipse seekers will love the solar eclipse bundle from Nocs ($125) which includes a solar eclipse lens ($35), the Zoom Tube monocular ($75), and a wrist strap ($21). The ISO 12312-2–certified attachment will protect your eyes from solar radiation during eclipse viewing and the monocular uses precision-crafted optics to ensure a clear and crisp picture of the event.

Ice Barrel

Cold Therapy in Your Home Gym

Embrace your inner Wim Hof with the Ice Barrel 500 ($1,500), which claims to be the most insulated cold plunge pool available. At-home ice baths are made easy with its chiller-ready design, an upright seat, textured steps and promise of easy maintenance. If you’re cold-therapy curious, some of the touted benefits include reduced inflammation, increased metabolism and faster muscle recovery.

VESSEL

VESSEL’s Kintsugi Collection

Used by many pros on tour, VESSEL golf bags are often regarded as the industry standard. This week, the brand launched a new collection celebrating the Japanese art of kintsugi, which celebrates imperfection and the process of repair. The new black and gold design is available on two of the brand’s most popular golf bags: the Player IV Pro stand bag ($435) and the Lux XV 2.0 cart bag ($455).
