Today in Gear: A Wishlist for Gearheads

Looking to bring home a piece of history? Well now you can. Most gearheads will remember the Plymouth Barracuda. First debuted in 1969, the vehicle joined the brand as an official variant in 1970. At that point, the 426 HEMI Barracuda had become a fearsome rival to Ford’s Mustang. However, only 652 models were released that year. And now: The very first one is back up for grabs. Currently listed for $2 million dollars, the HEMI ‘Cuda’s original owner proudly bought the car for just $500.

Today we’re taking a look at a new travel trailer, trail shoe and tortilla press. This is Today in Gear.

Roark’s Latest Run Collection Is as Cool as it Is Technical

Roark’s latest run collection was inspired by a journey to Hokkaido, Japan. The resulting collection is made up of five styles you’ll want to wear on every run (and errand). The Baja and Serrano shorts are both available in two inseam lengths and offer the lightweight flexibility you’d expect from a running short with flexible design elements suited to everyday use. Meanwhile, the patterns used on these shorts are echoed across short and long sleeve Mathis Tees, plus the button-down Bless Up Trail Shirt and the Second Wind 3.0 Packable Shell.
