ColemanColeman Beach Wagon
One of the biggest hurdles to outdoor adventure, be that a camping trip, beach bonanza or even a park picnic, is getting your gear from point A to point B. Coleman’s new Beach Wagon simplifies that process immensely, offering a whopping 48-gallon capacity (and up to 350 pounds) in a hauler that’s far easier and more efficient than carrying that gear yourself. Better still, when you’re done with the wagon, it collapses down to a third of its size for easy, out-of-the-way storage. And if that’s not enough, it even has two integrated cupholders, so you can stay refreshed even when you’re playing gear courier.
Twelve SouthTwelve South Valet (4.5 Inch)
Twelve South introduced the Valet earlier this year. It’s a valet tray, so it’s meant to catch and hold your EDC (wallet, keys, sunglasses, AirPods), but it’s made of premium leather and features an integrated Qi2 wireless charger to charge your smartphone. Fast forward seven months and Twelve Introduced has introduced a second version that is roughly half the size (7.5-inch vs 4.5-inch) and supports faster charging. It also has a 10-watt USB-C port beneath the base for charging a second device. Available in three colors: black, brown and taupe (tan/white).
J.CrewJ.Crew Cotton Moleskin Chore Jacket in Indigo
A few years ago, J.Crew reengineered its chore jacket based on those worn by French railway workers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. That design is upgraded with a stout 100-percent cotton moleskin, which is brushed for a soft feel and suede-like appearance. The indigo blue version is a close match to the “French blue” of the inspirational garment.
ProofProof Airweave Tank
Huckberry’s in-house performance brand, Proof, just added a new silhouette to its proprietary Airweave Collection, which prioritizes airflow and is built for high-heat workouts. The Airweave Tank features 4-way stretch and a perforated construction that actively cools and improves breathability overall. Side vents at the hem offer easier movement and a paracord hanger loop makes for easy hang-drying. The tank is available in both Black and Dusk.
Ram Trucks2027 Ram 2500 HD Lineup Updates
Ram just rolled out a bunch of updates for its 2500 series and heavy-duty trucks. The most notable change is the introduction of Cummins’ iconic 6.7-liter turbodiesel inline-six and the reintroduction of the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 for the Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The company also just introduced its Ram 2500 Emergency Response Vehicle for first responders, making it the first 3/4-ton offering in the fleet space, while a new Payload Upgrade Package is now available to boost overall GVWR to 11,040 pounds, up from 10,000. The result is best-in-class payload capacity of 4,580 pounds.
