Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

It seems like every week there’s new headlines about electric vehicles: The hot new models are selling out, they’re not selling fast enough, there’s not enough charging stations and so on.

While the industry ebbs and flows, it holds true that EV’s are an important part of the equation when it comes to electrifying the country. California, for example, will ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. And as the year switched to 2024, new federal tax credits of $7,500 have gone into effect. Looking to buy an EV this year? Here are few of the qualifying cars: the Chevrolet Bolt, the Ford Lightning and the truck and SUV from Rivian.

Today we’re taking a look at an AI-powered pen, new Moon Boots and a soft cooler. This is Today in Gear.

An ASRV x Walden Collab

ASRV

This new launch from ASRV and Walden has us feeling pretty relaxed already. The collection offers a suite of products meant to add a little calm to your life (but, like, the type of calm that fits nicely into your sleek, modern decor). We love the Meditation Bench ($298), the Block Incense Holder ($78) and the Ceramic Mug ($68).

New Moon Boots

Moon Boot

Moon Boots have always been a known quantity — footwear that shifts back and forth between cool and not-so-cool. But right now, they’re decidedly in. In fact, they’re the must-have winter boot. We’re lusting after the Ltrack Polar Shearling Off-White Boots ($455). The shearling and suede boots are trendy, and cozy, and are designed to keep your feet warm in chilly weather.

A Soft Cooler

BrüMate

Just in: A new MagPack 12-can soft cooler ($200) from Brumate (It’s also available in 18- and 24-can options). The portable cooler is lightweight, durable, leakproof and made to hold up no matter where you take it. Choose between four colors: graphite, lilac, sage or blue.

An AI Pen

Nuwa Pen

The Nuwa Pen ($293) is just like a normal pen, except for the fact that it’s powered by AI. Write with it on paper like you would any other pen, and the Nuwa Pen’s cameras, motion sensors and algorithms digitize your writing so you can share it between devices. The pen is available in black and white, and orders will ship in March.

More NA Options for Dry January

hiyo

Hiyo, the Venice, California–based beverage company, just released its newest ‘social tonic’ flavor: Strawberry Guava ($45 for a 12-pack). The non-alcoholic seltzer is made with all-natural ingredients and is just 30 calories. The brand’s other flavors include Peach Mango, Watermelon Lime and Blackberry Lemon.
