Today in Gear: A Backpack You Can Actually Wear to Work, Affordable Denim & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

The Backpack You Can Actually Wear to Work

The general concept of a backpack hasn’t changed all that much over the years. What has changed are the materials certain brands use.

Take Moral Code’s Reese Backpack for instance. This premium canvas and leather backpack is a stylish way to lug your stuff around. It offers an elevated design that’s distinct from the versions you used in school — this is an adult’s backpack. Built with plenty of interior pockets to hold your laptop, papers and maybe even your clothes, the Reese is the ideal professional’s backpack.

TRX

TRX Sale
Save $95: When arranged thoughtfully and outfitted appropriately, a home gym can be an entirely capable alternative to a pricey gym membership. It doesn’t have to call for heavy and bulky (not to mention expensive) equipment, either.

The reissue retails relatively cheap, at $675 on the bracelet, but right now, Amazon is offering the watch with a 54 percent markdown, making this already-affordable tribute to space exploration even more accessible. — Zen Love
