Today in Gear is our daily roundup of the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios. Please direct pitches, tips and questions to [email protected].

Yesterday, Yeti announced it will acquire Mystery Ranch, the Bozeman, Montana–based maker of technical packs revered by wildland firefighters and tacticool urbanites alike. On it’s own, the news isn’t necessarily shocking — both brands are known for crafting supremely durable products. But when you also consider that just two weeks ago Yeti acquired high-end cast iron brand Butter Pat Industries, the shock factor goes up.

Today we’re taking a look at a burly umbrella, Apple Watch chamrs and a tiny titanium knife. This is Today in Gear.

The Last Umbrella You’ll Need

The weather is increasingly unpredictable these days so it’s good to be prepared for anything. It’s even better to be equipped with an umbrella that’s built to last, and is capable of withstanding wind speeds of up to 55mph. The Weatherman Umbrella ($74) was created by a real meteorologist, Rick Reichmuth, who needed an umbrella that could stand up to the extreme conditions he covered. It has a strong fiberglass shaft and ribs, reflective accents for visibility and it comes with a lifetime warranty.
