Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

Last week, Outside Inc. launched its flagship NFT; the Outerverse Passport. The “Passport” allows users to access the company’s “Outerverse,” where fans can find a suite of perks and explore Outside’s entire Web3 initiative. Retailing for $225, Outside is only minting 10,000 Passports. Equipped with a Passport, users will be able to shop within a designated NFT marketplace and find discounts on real-world gear and event entries. On top of that, those with an Outerverse Passport will also be able to participate on the company’s Discord and receive a three-year O+ membership. With a mix of virtual and real-world benefits, the Outerverse Passport ultimately hopes to get users outside. For now, there are still many Passports up for grabs, so make sure to secure one soon if you hope to continue on into the future Outerverse.

Finally, a Robot Lawn Mower

Home Depot

There’s a new robot in town – and it can mow your lawn. Think of the Worx Landroid M as a Roomba for your lawn. Depending on the model, the device can mow up to half an acre at a time with the help of a companion app that can map a customized mowing schedule. Thanks to an offset cutting disc, it can mow closer to the edge than other lawn mowers and handle slopes up to 20º. Once it’s done, it’ll automatically head back to its charging base, harnessing advanced obstacle avoidance all the while. The quarter-acre capable device starts at $2,460, while the GPS-equipped, half-acre capable version retails for $3,650.
