Today in Gear: Product News Done Quick

Arby’s is known for its classic catchphrase, “We Have the Meats”, but kept that largely to its signature roast beef sandwiches. As of yesterday, the brand added a cheeseburger (the brand’s first-ever) which hit the market yesterday. The Wagyu Steakhouse Burger (and, by extension, Bacon Ranch Wagyu Steakhouse Burger) are a result of, “two years of dedicated research and development,” according to Arby’s chief marketing officer Patrick Schwing. While Arby’s is certainly far from the first name in American fast food, this might be just the trick to get hungry visitors to give the chain a try. This is Today in Gear.

Casper’s Original Hybrid mattress, which features an innovative combination of spring and foam, is like having your cake and eating it too.

Premium foam contours perfectly to the shape of your body, while internal springs are strategically tucked inside to add lift and promote airflow during the night.

Graf Lantz

Trust us, it may take inspiration from L.L. Bean’s classic “Boat and Tote” bag, but this is upgrade version is like moving from a fishing boat to a yacht. First and foremost is the outer fabric, which swaps traditional canvas for weather-resistant Merino wool felt. Carrying this kind of bag has never been easier, with reinforced handles and zippers, accented in vegetable-tanned leather. Of course, a bag like this is nothing without storage capacity, so you can trust that — between a 13 inch computer pocket, a dedicated phone pocket and three other storage — there’s plenty of room for just about everything.
