Today in Gear: T.G.I.F. Edition

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Erykah Badu teamed up with Cookies to launch her very first cannabis strain. Entitled ‘That Badu,’ the strain will go live on Wednesday March 8 (i.e. International Women’s Day) on Cookies and Lemonade shelves across California. The strain is a cross between Lemonchello and Jet Fuel Gelato, and Badu hopes to use the release to ‘dispel stigmas surrounding cannabis usage’ — particularly for moms and women. By fusing wellness, art, culture and fashion across a full collection of upcoming products (all set to drop later this year in May), Badu hopes to create an open space for women in cannabis.

Today we’re taking a look at a new watch from Mido, Bandit’s new running collection and an inventive match striker. This is Today in Gear.

Meet the New Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer

MIDO

Designed with an ‘irresistible, neo-vintage’ look, the new Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer ($1,441) will be released as two limited edition models. Both boast an original decompression table plus GMT function, and detailed bezel designed to show world time. Building off the original Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch, the new release adds an additional time zone plus new technologies like a glassbox-style sapphire crystal and the Calibre 80 with Nivachron™ balance-spring (and GMT function). Measuring 46.99 mm lug-to-lug, fans can choose between two dials — blue or black, and each adorned with applied, polished indices highlighted with Super-Luminova. Releasing March 15 on the Mido site, you’ll want to set an alarm for this drop.

Hiking with a Pet? Now They Can Gear Up Too

Uncharted Supply Company

Uncharted Supply Co. is known for creating everything from durable survival kits to power systems. Now they’ve packed a first aid kit into a lightweight dog collar. Designed for easy wear during long hikes, The Wolf Pack is made from military-grade nylon. Its 1.5” width helps distribute weight around your pup’s neck without causing strain, while a series of magnets make fastening and removing the piece a breeze. First displayed at Outdoor Retailer, the collar is set to drop soon for pet owners everywhere.

Get Lit with the Pebble Match Striker

Houseplant

Houseplant’s Pebble Match Striker ($125) is a unique table tchotchke that can set your dreams on fire. It’s made out of durable cast iron and resembles two stones stacked on top of one another. Lifting the top stone will reveal a hollow bottom ‘stone’ in which one can stash matches. From there, the user can then strike the matches anywhere across the piece’s body. Of course, make sure to couple the piece with one of the brand’s Matchbox Sets ($28) to ensure you can stay ready for anything.
