Every week our inboxes are inundated with news about gear, apparel and tech releases from around the world. In this feature, we highlight the best of the best. Today we have: Smithy releases Yellowstone National Park cast iron skillet; Nalgene celebrates 75th anniversary; Monos launches expandable luggage collection.
No, this is not a collaboration with cast iron. Yellowstone show. For this limited edition 11″ skillet, Smithee has partnered with Yellowstone Forever, the official non-profit organization supporting Yellowstone National Park. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to buy one of these beautiful skillets, this is it. Not only do the bottoms of these skillets feature beautiful designs of bison, cutthroat trout, Old Faithful, and Yellowstone Falls, but by purchasing one, you’ll be supporting the park we all know and love.
Nalgene, the “OG” of reusable water bottles, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the brand is releasing two limited-edition commemorative designs, each paying tribute to Nalgene’s past and including the original mountain lion logo. The designs will be sold exclusively at Nalgene, with 20% of the proceeds from every bottle sold being donated. Nalgene Water Foundationis helping communities across the country that struggle to access clean water, which is enough to replace a Nalgene bottle, but as anyone in the know will tell you, have To.
For all you poor souls out there crying snot-in-your-face in your carry-on because you couldn’t zip it up two hours before your flight…this one’s for you. Luggage brand Monos has brought a little summer innovation (well, just a little) to their collection of sleek, hard-sided, expandable luggage that’s sure to make a five-day getaway to Aruba a breeze, even if you’ve packed both your swimsuits. Available in three sizes (and three of Monos’ best-selling colors), the expansion feature adds a whopping 1.6 inches of depth and introduces new features like a new telescoping handle and redesigned swivel wheels to make traveling a breeze. Airlines, take note!
Just when you thought the collaboration couldn’t get any tougher, it’s finally here. North Pacific Coast tradition giant Filson has tapped gear guru Helinox to remake their iconic packable outdoor gear. The results are, in a word, camp-ready. The Savannah Chair and Table One Hardtop have been reworked in 600D recycled polyester fabric and DAC aluminum legs, then repainted in Filson’s signature dusty olive color. Both pack down to under five pounds, no doubt making your summer road trips that much more durable.
Listen, Pilates is actually a pretty amazing workout. If you haven’t realized that yet, let the Celine Reformer convince you. It’s the perfect low-impact muscle-pumping workout that leaves you exhausted, but not in that “I ran five miles and tasted blood” kind of way, but more like you’re feeling your muscles falling off your bones. This reformer has everything you need to tone your muscles and start your fitness journey.
The worlds of climbing and fashion meet. Luxury apparel brand APC teams up with climbing equipment manufacturer Topologie to bring you a collection of bags, totes, and phone cases that inspire urban grunge and granolacore, fusing two aesthetic worlds into one beautiful and gorgeous collaboration.
