Today in Gear: The Day’s Best Product News

Chevrolet has announced plans for an EV Corvette sub-brand. Designed to distill the “essence of Corvette,” among other vehicles, it will include a four-door coupe. In switching to its Ultium battery platform, Chevy has reimagined the “proportions, stance and engineering” across this new lineup. Car and Driver notes the new “mechanical package apparently includes battery packs with high energy density, superfast software, a patented cooling concept” and a staggered “Lego-like topographic packaging.” High-revving electric motors and an 800-volt electrical system provide up to 350 kW of charging power plus multi-mode four-wheel steering and torque vectoring. The new sub-brand should drop sometime in 2025, giving Corvette plenty of time to plan and fans plenty of time to roll out their ICE Stingray before it’s time to change up – and charge up.

Today we’re taking a look at restored Ford Broncos, LEKI’s new gloves and limited edition skis. This is Today in Gear.

These New Gloves Lock Right Into Your Ski Poles

LEKI

LEKI is perhaps best known for creating some of the most popular ski, trekking and trail running poles on the market. The brand is expanding with a new lineup of gloves designed to work in tandem with its poles, specifically, the LEKI Trigger S or Trigger 3D poles. Gloves in the new collection retail from $90 to $140 and come equipped with a small loop between the forefinger and thumb of the glove where fans can easily pop their pole in. The pole will then lock right in to provide the extra balance you need on the slopes or trail to keep you gliding more quickly and efficiently than ever before.
