BowFlex Has Finally Upgraded Its Most Popular and Versatile Home Workout Tool

For years, BowFlex has dominated the adjustable home dumbbells market with its 552 Adjustable Dumbbells. The chief complaint? Their top weight is limited to just 52.2 pounds. For those looking to lift heavier, the brand finally has an answer in the 1090s. Like their predecessors, these dumbbells adjust incrementally, but now they start at 10 pounds and go up to 90, each — replacing up to 17 sets of weights. They’ve also been given a design overhaul, making them look better in the process.

Jony Ive, founder of LoveFrom (and Apple’s famed product designer for over two decades), has teamed up with Gen Terao, the founder of Balmuda, the iconic Japanese design and manufacturing company, to create this Sailing Lantern. Inspired by classic maritime design, the Sailing Lantern is crafted from precision-ground, polished glass and stainless steel, featuring mirror and electroplated finishes. It packs dual LEDs, a rechargeable battery, and a single dial that controls both brightness and color temperature. According to the brands, this portable lantern is meant to create a light that “feels like an ancient flame captured in modern form — both romantic and enduring.”

JLC used its extensive back catalog for inspiration in creating this limited-edition version of the brand’s modern Master Control Calendar. The watch features an all-new textured, two-tone dial that completely transforms the model’s aesthetic, adding far more dynamism and visual interest. The inner portion of the grain-textured dial is light gray, while the outer portion is dark gray, and it’s meant to evoke the brand’s sector-dial triple calendars of the 1940s. Still powering the watch is the in-house Cal. 866 movement, which features a clever trick where the date hand jumps from 15 to 16 so as not to obscure the moonphase display at 6:00. The stainless steel watch is limited to 500 pieces.

A decade after its launch, Surly’s affordable all-terrain 4130 steel horse is back and better than ever. Highlights include updated geometry — sloped top tube for better standover, more bottom bracket drop to boost stability, raised stack for more comfort — plus front and rear thru-axles, flat mount brakes and wider bars. The 44mm head tube accommodates a variety of forks — even a 40mm suspension fork — while dropper post compatibility and clearance for up to 50mm tires grant you permission to get extremely sendy, even on single-track.

Barbour revived the Transport Jacket, originally released in 1999, exclusively for long-time collaborator Todd Snyder. It resembles the popular Spey Jacket, with a cropped, boxy body designed for mobility and comfort. It’s packed with handy features like a zipper phone pocket in the placket, reverse-entry hand pockets that keep moisture out and a drawstring waist cinch. However, the stand-out feature is the removable waxed canvas, tartan-lined hood, typically sold separately with Barbour jackets. It comes in a faded charcoal grey that emulates the look of vintage Barbour jackets that have been lived-in for years.
