Today in Gear: You Gotta to Know These 5 Products

In the most high-profile unfriending in recent years, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg has stepped down from her post after 14 years to focus on family and philanthropy. Sandberg is a Silicon Valley icon; she has used her influence to encourage and empower corporate women and to fight sexism in the workplace.

Today… in gear… we are talking about a titanium flask, a watch that’s soooooooo ’90s, an electric bike challenging mopeds and much more.

Hear ye, stylish outdoorsmen: prepare thine pockets.

Snow Peak

Snow Peak is, perhaps, the very definition of “elevated.” Its products are intensely high-end and beautiful versions of an outdoor enthusiast/aesthete’s necessary arsenal. The brand has just introduced its latest gem, a 150mL (5oz) titanium flask ($180). It’s just big enough to stash a nip or two in your back pocket and weighs just 80g (2.8oz). Since titanium is chemically inert, it won’t flavor whatever booze you bring along. The flask’s wooden cap and brushed finish are icing on a decidedly elevated cake.

Don’t worry; this has nothing to do with video meetings.

Zoomo

The newest e-bike to enter the market is a new offering from the brand Zoomo ($4,000). Launched at Micromobility Europe in Amsterdam, the Zoomo One is designed with utility in mind. It’s a bike designed to replace mopeds and become the go-to vehicle for delivery drivers and businesses. And with a top speed of 45km/h, it looks like it would be approachably fun to joyride as well.

NBD, just limited-edition EDC from the GOAT.

Huckberry

Available only at Huckberry, this co-branded Leatherman EDC staple features a special moss and black colorway and deserves a spot in your rotation – especially at just $45. Known to Leatherman aficionados, the Skeletool KBx sports a 420HC stainless steel blade for precision sharpening, a lightweight and grippable ‘skeleton’ frame, integrated BottleClip to attach to gear and/or pop the top of your favorite brew and much more.

Oris

To celebrate its own June 1 birthday, Oris has revived its classic Full Steel wristwatch, this time called the Hölstein Edition 2022 ($4,300). The new release is limited to 250 pieces total and “captures the spirit of the 1990s, and a groundbreaking mechanical movement” (that’d be the Oris Calibrer 690). Its 36.5mm stainless steel case is ready for any wrist, and features a blue dial with red plus and minus symbols; it’s held in place by a three-link stainless steel bracelet.

“Who cares about a little V6,” you ask?

Mercedes-AMG

Mercedes’ next-gen, Formula 1-based hypercar, first introduced to the public in 2017, is finally ready for its spotlight. Mercedes-AMG revealed the production-ready One. Perhaps the most impressive element of the One is how it moves. “Underhood” is a teeny-tiny turbocharged 1.6-liter grand prix V6; this is paired to an electrical-motor drivetrain for a combined output of over 1,000 horsepower, making it the most powerful AMG road car in history. It even eclipses the near-mythic CLK-GTR, whose AMG top speed record of 214 mph is bested by the One: the new car will hit a terminal velocity of 219 mph.
