Today in Gear: Medical-Grade First Aid from ZipStitch, the Best New Expert-Recommended Coffee Gear & 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].

Whether you’re heading into the outdoors for an excursion or just staying prepared at home, the proper essentials in a first aid kit are crucial. One addition every first aid kit could use is the ZipStitch Laceration Kit, a medical bandage that adheres with enough force allowing you to forgo stitches. This wound closure device allows anyone to effectively treat minor cuts in seconds, potentially saving you a trip to the hospital. Using four zip ties made of medical-grade polymer, ZipStitch distributes a pulling force uniformly across either side of an adhesive base for precise control of closing a wound up to 1.5 inches long. Considering a trip to the ER or the hospital for stitches can be costly, it’s a no-brainer to stock your first aid kit with a ZipStitch or two.

RavPower USB-C Power Bank
Save $11: Portable chargers are a dime a dozen these days, but one of our favorite ones — the RAVPower 10000mAh USB-C Power Bank — is cheaper than ever right now. The power bank has two big selling points. One, it’s super thin and can easily fit in your pocket. And two, it charges via USB-C, meaning you can charge it with the same setup you use with most new smartphones and laptops (iPhones being the exception), as well as a Nintendo Switch. Its 10000mAh capacity essentially doubles (or more) the battery life of your current iPhone or Android smartphone.

Need Supply Friends & Family Sale
Save 30% On Everything: The good stuff doesn’t come cheap. Well, let’s say it rarely comes cheap — Need Supply is currently having a site-wide sale event, and if you’re after new shades, shorts, shirts or sneakers you’ll find the good stuff for 30 percent off right now. In case you don’t know where to start, here’s a wardrobe’s worth of options. — Andy Frakes

SOG Dark Energy 120A EDC Flashlight
Save 34%: SOG is better known for its pocket knives but the company’s EDC flashlights, like the Dark Energy 120A that’s currently 34 percent off at REI, adhere to the same quality standard. For instance, that same 120A model has five modes (full brightness, low brightness, reading mode, strobe and momentary on) has a case made of high-grade aluminum and is waterproof against immersion up to one meter for 30 minutes. It’s also 4.5 inches long, which, like many of SOG’s knives, allow it to fit in a pocket, so it’s always at hand. — Tanner Bowden

Roomba 650 (Refurb)
Save $240: Thanks to robust customer support, solid warranties, unequaled suction and continuous improvements, the Roomba has dominated the robo-vacuum market for nearly two decades. Its older models, though not as kitted-out as the ultra-powerful and smart i7+, still do the job just fine. The 650 is schedulable, adjusts suction to floor types automatically and identifies areas of your home where debris accumulates. Today on Ebay, a refurbished 650 is marked all the way down to $160 — easily the lowest price we’ve seen for Roombas (old or new). As it’s listed by a third-party seller, it’s worth messaging the seller to inquire about refurbishing specifics and warranty changes. — Will Price
