The North Face’s New EDC-Focused Bag Proves Less Is More

The latest EDC-focused bag from The North Face’s Red Box Collection proves that even in everyday carry, sometimes less is more. Various lobster clasps allow for multiple carry modes, whether that’s crossbody or attached to the larger Red Box Tote Bag. The TNF Blue colorway is an instant classic, yet stands out from a sea of black and neutral-toned EDC bags. A zippered main compartment and internal mesh pocket keep essentials organized. A signature, embroidered red box logo patch completes the package.

GoRuck’s Basic Rucker, while intended for fitness — rucking, specifically — is sneakily one of the brand’s best minimalist EDC packs. In fact, its banner feature, a rucking plate sleeve, does double-duty as a laptop pocket, lending further credence to its use in an everyday carry context. Now, that bag has gotten a stylistic refresh, seeing a few new colorways added to the lineup, including the Tiger Stripe camo (seen above), as well as Electric Blue and classic Coyote Brown, making it all the more enticing.

With the needs of thru-hikers, adventure motorcyclists and bikepackers in mind, Helinox introduces a super-streamlined, ultralight take on its beloved outdoor chair. The GhostGrid translucent monofilament grid ripstop fabric, X-strap stabilizer and aluminum alloy frame add up to one lean 19-ounce lounger that packs into a tidy 14.5” x 4.5” x 4.5” carry case, ready to deploy for rest and relaxation at a moment’s notice.

Having initially unveiled its Semi design back in 2017, Tesla is finally beginning mass production of the next-generation electric truck. Available in two specifications, each will offer 1,072 horsepower from three rear-axle motors. The Semi Standard Range delivers 325 miles on a single charge, and the Semi Long Range model will bring even more juice with an estimated range of 500 miles. Curb weight for the former is less than 20,000 pounds, while the latter tips the scales at 23,000 pounds. In both cases, Tesla claims that 60 percent of the available range can be topped up in just 30 minutes.

Mercedes-AMG just pulled the digital wraps off its latest iteration of the second-gen GLC Coupe, the GLC 53 4MATIC+. Built as a new in-betweener, slotting above the GLC 43 4MATIC+ and below the bonkers V8-powered GLC 63, the new 53 models features AMG’s latest 3.0-liter mild-hybrid inline-six. Just in case you don’t need 671 horsepower, but want more than 421, the GLC 53 boasts a total system output of 443 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque (with overboost). It’s also the first Mercedes-AMG SUV to offer an optional electronically-controlled rear limited-slip differential with Drift Mode.

Ebbets Field brought back its collection of authentically replicated Team USA gear from the 1950s, including this pure cotton twill hit. It is decorated with a layered, stitched USA felt logo and features a leather adjustable strap. It is also available in white with a blue brim

Niton was a short-lived Swiss watch brand lasting only from 1919 until 1938 that nevertheless left an impact with its impressive movement manufacturing, with jump-hour complications being its greatest claim to fame. Now, Niton is back and doing what it always did best: crafting in-house jump-hour movements. The revived brand’s first new model is the Prima, and it’s impressive. The watch’s in-house Cal. NHS01 is a manual-wind jump hour that is also a sonnerie au passage — meaning it chimes every hour, on the hour — and boasts a zero-reset feature for the seconds hand. What’s more, the movement is both a certified chronometer and has earned a Geneva Seal. The Prima is limited to just 38 pieces, 19 in rose gold for CHF 44,750 (~$58,600) and 19 in platinum for CHF 47,750 (~$62,370).
