Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

This weekend, most news cycles were dominated by the fact that Silicon Valley Bank (and now Signature Bank in New York) collapsed. Unfortunately, we’ve got more bad news. In case you missed it, Yeti recently recalled nearly two million soft coolers and gear cases. The recall centered around four main products; the Hopper M30 Soft Cooler 1.0 and 2.0, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler and the SideKick Dry Gear Case. In each model, large internal pockets are lined with magnet closures. If someone were to swallow more than one of these magnets, the result could lead to serious (if not deadly) consequences. Luckily, no injuries have been reported and Yeti is offering fans a full refund on each product – plus an additional $25 gift card. Think you might be affected? Read our full guide to the Yeti Recall here.

Today we’re taking a look at a streamlined wall clock, fixed blade and new technical styles from the Veilance Spring Collection. This is Today in Gear.

Hit the Streets with Vintage Electric Bikes’ Roadster

Vintage Electric Bikes

While many of today’s E-Bikes tend to skew towards the weighty, tech-inspired build; Vintage Electric Bikes likes to keep things a little chicer. The brand’s gorgeous 72 Volt Roadster can bring you anywhere. It’s built to tackle hills and cuts previous five – 30mph acceleration times in half. Plus, fans won’t have to sacrifice any power in this sleek style. The Roadster offers 4000 watts of power across a 72 volt battery – and can reach top speeds of 20 miles per hour. On top of that, you can even customize the bike to your needs by adding smart accessories like mirrors, racks, panniers or a lock. Want to take it even further? Add Race Mode to take your bike off-roading — and up to 40 mph — for just $149.

Still Looking for the Perfect Wall Clock?

Available today in four different colors, the Wall Clock ($95) weighs less than a pound, comes fully assembled and will be super easy to hang. Streamlined and definitively ‘uncluttered,’ this timepiece will look at home on any wall.

Want to Streamline Your Morning Routine?

Cometeer

While Daylight Savings arrives with the promise of longer days, sometimes, the morning can seem like the longest part. So if you’re looking for an easier way to wake up and get things started, consider Cometeer. The company starts with ‘barista-quality coffee,’ precision-brews it to 10x its normal strength, then flash-freezes the liquid at peak flavor. The coffee is then packaged in fully-recyclable, frozen aluminum pods so all you have to do is pop a pod in your mug with enough hot water to fill. Designed to make hot or iced coffee in seconds, Cometeer has partnered with top-quality roasters like Counter Culture, Square Mile and Go Get Em Tiger to offer fans a suite of different flavors.

Available with a rosewood green G10 handle, fans can pre-order the new piece for $185 today (with shipping kicking off in July 2023).
