Today in Gear: Your Product Drop Radar

By now, most shoppers are familiar with ‘buy now, pay later’ programs from apps like Klarna and Afterpay. Carefully dividing larger spends into a series of smaller, more manageable payments has enabled shoppers to double down on all sorts of tech, gear and investment pieces. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Klarna has taken things a step further. Fans can now use the Klarna app to harness the brand’s new search and compare tool; which quickly aggregates shopping results from thousands of different retailers to display one product at every price available. By tweaking a dozen different filters, you can even narrow your search down by size, color and more to home in on the perfect grill, luggage set or any other product category.

Today we’re taking a look at a new camp furniture collection, fishing rod and Bentley’s first EV. This is Today in Gear.

Helinox Drops the Tactical Collection

Liam Ricketts

The new collection is a rugged, utilitarian line of products that can measure up to whatever life throws your way. Fan favorites like the Tactical Chair One ($130 – $150) take one of the brand’s favorite silhouettes and revamp them with durable touches like new DAC aluminum alloy poles for a stronger weight capacity (up to 320 pounds). Other standouts like the Tactical Table ($175) give gearheads a place for playing cards or food prep, and fit right into a 16 inch stuff sack.

Yes, These Are Wide-Leg Leather Shorts

Mr Porter

Forget the leather pants of years past. Now, it’s all about thick, wide-leg leather shorts. Rick Owens latest creation — the Pod Leather Drawstring Shorts ($1,555) — come in brown and black and only five different sizes. They’re made with supple lamb’s leather and dotted with buffalo horn buttons. Finished with the brand’s signature elongated drawstring, you probably already know whether or not you need these shorts.

Meet the New Beartooth Rod

Tenkara Rod Co.

Tenkara Rod Co. just released a new, updated version of its popular Beartooth Rod. The new device is the brand’s most compact fishing rod for hikers, campers and backpackers and collapses down to just 14 inches. Extended, the rod reaches a full 10 feet so you can cast and catch bigger fish while still maintaining great control with smaller critters. The full Beartooth Kit ($225) comes with everything you need to string the rod, cast a line and fish for hours — even on a whim.

Bentley Prepares For Its First Electric Vehicle

Bentley Motors

The 2026 Bentley EV will become the brand’s very first electric car. The brand is preparing to fully unveil the model in 2025, but there’s already plenty to be excited about. Namely, the car is expected to arrive with hands-free driving capability powered by the Volkswagen Group’s software 1.2 and Mobileye’s SuperVision technology which taps 11 cameras to empower a fully hands-off, ‘level-two-plus’ autonomous driving.

Rimowa Releases the New Arctic Blue Collection

Rimowa

Billed as an ‘ode to the deep blue sea,’ the metallic Arctic Blue collection takes some of the brand’s most popular products (like the Original Trunk Plus and Check-In line) and dips them in a cool blue colorway. Another standout is the compact little Cross-Body Bag ($1,675). Undeniably chic and equipped to help you tote your valuables in a sturdy hard shell, the bag is lined in leather and features two open compartments plus a zipped pocket and three card slots along its interior.
