Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios.
Dodge has revealed its first electric muscle car replacement, the Charger Daytona SRT Concept, hot on the heels of the somewhat sudden announcement that its gas-burning Charger and Challenger models will be discontinued after 2023. The concept is a smooth two-door design that somehow manages to combine Tesla styling with many shapes from Dodge's now ill-fated models. Purists will be sad to see the ICE cars go, but the next-gen will be faster and let the globe breathe easier. But, as The Verge points out, the otherwise silent EV concept utilizes a weird manufactured sound in place of a V8's throaty growl. We'll see if that makes it to the dealerships.
Today we're talking about Seth Rogen's new ceramic smoking accessories, tough yet stylish overalls, an affordable but premium USB microphone and more.

It's never too early to prep for what's to come–and since it's somehow already mid-August, what's to come is rainy fall weather. This year, you won't have to reach for that tired old poncho and stretch it over uncomfortable, stuffy layers. Tentree's Nimbus Rain Jacket ($188) and InMotion Joggers ($88) are designed precisely for anyone who doesn't want fall weather to stop their style–both are responsibly made to boot. The regular fit jacket cuts a simple silhouette with its REPREVE® recycled polyester shell (made from plastic bottles), while its non-toxic, PFC-free DWR coating provides water repellency. The jacket material doesn't just keep the rain out but also allows moisture and (just enough) of your body's heat to escape, resulting in optimal comfort in fall temps. Adding to its weather-fighting abilities are fully taped seams and air-tight pockets to keep your gear high and dry. Outfit yourself with InMotion joggers for complimentary comfort and capability. The joggers are made of 92 percent REPREVE® and feature two-way stretch to keep you, well, in motion no matter your pursuits.
Today, Seth Rogen's classy smoking accessories brand launched a new lineup of home goods designed by Rogen. The By Seth collection features three products ranging from $68-$98, each inspired by Rogen's passion for ceramics: a large planter, a handsome vase and a deep, cup-like ashtray. Check the link below for the drop – and to copy other Houseplant goods. (And click here if you don't like how we spelled Rogen's signature laugh.)
After twenty years, Audio-Technica has updated its AT2020USB USB microphone, a go-to device for at-home recording artists of all stripes. The new plug-and-play mic, dubbed AT2020USB-X ($149), is a cardio condenser unit and utilizes a USB-C connection made specifically for "advanced performance creators." The mic's sampling rate reaches 24-bit/96kHz thanks to a high-resolution A/D converter and features a standard headphone jack and headphone volume control for live, zero-delay monitoring. On the front of the mic is a touch-sensitive mute button, and the device is held firmly in place by a new mic stand (included).
Whether you're crawling under a car, spending your day in the woodshop or just making a statement in the great outdoors, these new, versatile overalls are gonna be your best friend. Inspired by LIVSN's Flex Canvas Pants, the Flex Canvas Overalls feature extra-strong stitching, double-layer knees, crotch gusset, a kangaroo bib and other storage like hand warmer and media pockets. They're made of 58 percent certified organic cotton, 40 percent recycled polyester and two percent Spandex to deserve the "flex" in their name. And if you're wary of boxy workwear, it's perhaps the fit that deserve the most attention: these overalls boast a "modern fit," meaning they stand up to abuse and the Fashion Police–but are still roomy enough for proper work boots. The overalls, available in brown, black and olive, are available for pre-order now ($169) and will be $199 at full price.
In one week's time, Baltic's latest collab drops. Mark your calendar now because... well, just look at it. The special-edition 39.5mm Baltic x Peter Auto Tricompax chronograph alone is a beaut, drawing inspiration from motorsport aesthetics of yesteryear. Check its aluminum tachymeter bezel, double-domed sapphire crystal, light beige face and multi-colored chrono hands. Inside is a Sellita SW510-M mechanical movement with a 63-hour power reserve; each watch comes with a brushed steel bracelet and dark taupe calf leather strap. But it's the other stuff that's most exciting. Included with each of the 300 models available are two gorgeous flyback stopwatches that, in turn, draw inspiration from the wristwatch and a specially designed display box for the whole crew. All this is €1,975, which, at today's exchange rate, is a hair under just $2,000.
