Rumors are beginning to swirl around Peloton. When the brand reported strong losses and record layoffs in 2022, the strife also signaled a larger shift across the brand. Now, after months of recalibrating, Peloton is expected to unveil an entirely new brand identity at the end of May. The new focus will center around a relaunched app and tiered subscription model, with less emphasis placed on the hardware alone. That said, fans will have to wait a few weeks to see how the new program changes the game for existing users, so stay tuned for more news to come.
Today we’re taking a look at a new hyperlite pack, camp saw and innovative smartphone lens kit. This is Today in Gear.

Commuting to work in the summer presents a terrible challenge for city folk. Finding a lightweight work shirt that will keep you cool (and looking cooler) can be difficult, but that’s where Veilance comes in. Arc’teryx’s urban-ready line is made with the same technical fabrics the brand uses across its outdoor apparel, but in city-friendly silhouettes you’ll want to wear to the office. The Demlo Shirt ($250) is a great example, and is made with an ultra light nylon mini-ripstop. Weighing in at just three ounces, the water-repellent shirt features a zippered pocket and relaxed fit, so you can truly wear it day to night over and over all summer long.
