Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

For many, a Rimowa suitcase exudes a sense of ‘you’ve made it.’ Slick, secure and designed to get you where you need to go, the brand’s metal luggage is as reliable as it is iconic. Of course, that peace of mind comes with a pretty hefty price tag; with the brand’s Original Cabin bags retailing for a little over $1,000. So when Rimowa announced its new Resale program, it’s safe to say fans were pretty excited. The new Re-Crafted collection takes ‘pre-loved’ suitcases, refurbishes them and then allows fans to shop the new models online. Right now, bags are still selling almost as quickly as they’re listed, but fans can sign up to be notified as soon as a new bag hits the site.

Today we’re taking a look at the new MoonSwatch, the Pilar IV and some exciting motorcycle apparel. This is Today in Gear.

Over the weekend, Columbia River Knife and Tool quietly dropped the newest version of Jesper Voxnaes’ original Pilar knife.

Indian Motorcycle

Indian Motorcycle has teamed up with Jack Daniel’s to release the all-new Chief Bobber Dark Horse Motorcycle. The new bike is adorned with iconic Jack Daniel’s paintwork, as the brand wove its ‘Old No. 7’ logo throughout the design. These accents were all done by hand, with a Super Graphite paint mixed with actual Jack Daniel’s whiskey. Only 177 models will be made, and the team suggests reaching out by March 14th at the latest to secure one for yourself.

Riding Hard? You Might Need Airbag Jeans

Mo’Cycle

Whether you’re working with a lot of junk in your trunk or simply protecting precious cargo, Mo’cycle’s Airbag Jeans ($499) have got you covered. They’re equipped with a durable, inflatable layer beneath a tough denim shell. If you crash, they’ll be triggered by a key connected to your motorcycle, and immediately inflate. When it comes time to wash them, fans can simply remove the airbags, and run the jeans through the wash like any other pants.

Hot Pan? There’s Gear for That

The Leather Skillet Sleeve ($25) from Smithey Ironware Co. is a simple kitchen go-to that just makes sense. The handcrafted leather sleeve fits over the handle of your favorite cast iron to protect your hands from the pan’s hot surface. Made from a double-layer of oil-tanned leather, and stitched with a Kevlar heat-resistant thread, the sleeve is designed to develop a rich patina overtime. It’ll make a great housewarming gift for any cast-iron cook, or fit just as nicely into your usual camp kit.
