Olympics E-Motorcycle, ‘Gorpcore’ G-SHOCK, Leg Razor for Men, and More Emerging Gear
Sep 22, 2024 10:32 AM

  For us gear hounds, the Summer Olympics can feel like a never-ending parade of sweet outdoor apparel. And why not? After all, nobody deserves to use the best of the best more than the worlds greatest athletes. The rest of us might just be playing at greatness when we chase after the latest super sneaker — but what a fun game it is.

  Here in Emerging Gear, youll find both the joy of window-shopping, like DAB Motors specialty motorbikes, and the practical reminders of gear you should already own, like the poop kits from PACT. Read on, and find your next thing.

  DAB Motors Olympics-Inspired E-Motorbikes

  (Photo/DAB Motors) If Wes Anderson designed a motorcycle, I think it would probably look something like this. Boutique French brand DAB Motors has released limited-edition versions of its DAB 1α electric motorcycle, and they are quite precious. The five designs feel like an AI design that somebody actually produced — and I mean that in the best way possible.

  Called the A la gloire du sport collection, the five designs reflect the colors of the Olympic rings. Each comes with details reflecting a different sport, including surfing, skateboarding, tennis, boxing, and basketball.

  DAB Motors announced the release on Wednesday, but the bikes hadnt yet appeared on the website as of Wednesday afternoon. We suggest checking back soon. With a timely release during the Paris 2024 Olympics, these bikes will likely sell fast while the sports fever is high.

  No word yet on the price tag. But given that a normal DAB 1α costs around $16,000, I doubt these will come cheap.

  PACT Pack Out Bathroom Kit

  (Photo/Pact) As parks around the country report higher levels of human waste, its a good time to make sure youre prepared the next nature calls while youre enjoying the Great Outdoors.

  The new Pack Out Bathroom Kits from Colorado-based PACT aim to help with exactly that. The kit includes a durable outer bag, an inner waste bag, deodorizing poop powder, two PACT Wipes, and a hand wipe. PACT designed the kits to ease the pooping process while visiting fragile ecosystems and heavily trafficked outdoor areas.

  Merrell teamed up with Janji to release a limited-edition capsule collection of trail running apparel and footwear. The highlight of the collection is the Merrell x Janji Agility Peak 5, priced at $150.

  Designed for long-distance trail running, the Agility Peak 5 offers dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole that aim for better ground connection. Its also got a lightweight midsole and a Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole. The outsole is equipped with Vibram traction lugs.

  Crafted from waterproof TPU-coated nylon, its available in three thickness options: 2 inches, 3 inches, and 4 inches. This multifunctional pad can serve as a sleeping pad, seat cushion, cooler insulation, or river float, the brand said.

A 2-inch nylon webbing strap with an aluminum buckle ensures the pad remains securely rolled up during transport. The price tag ranges from $300 to $500, depending on size.

  (Photo/Septem) The HUNT XR just launched on Kickstarter this week —and everyday carry lovers will find a lot to like.

  This compact, multifunctional tool is the latest in the HUNT series by Septem, which debuted in 2019 with the HUNT 1.0. Now in its seventh generation, the HUNT XR integrated feedback from over 10,000 users, the brand said. It reached its funding goal within 10 minutes of the campaign launch.

  Gorpcore G-SHOCK Watches

  (Photo/G-SHOCK) According to G-SHOCK, its latest releases aim for gorpcore, a new fashion term referring to technical outdoor apparel used in urban settings.

  I dont know about all that, but the aesthetics of the Two-Tone Utility Color series should definitely appeal to anyone with a good ol-fashioned love of earth tones. Apparently inspired by the Master of G MUDMASTER series, the new watches have two-toned color block designs — hence the name.

  Each model comes with G-SHOCK’s core features, including shock resistance and 200m water resistance. Other functions — like Tough Solar Power or a full-auto LED backlight — vary depending on the model. Prices range from $110 to $150.

  BOLT Performance Razor

  Bolt just released the Performance Razor, priced at $40, and crafted specifically for men’s leg shaving. Designed in Finland, the razor combines Scandinavian aesthetics with Swedish precision, the brand said. Its made from zinc alloy and equipped with a tacky rubber grip.

  The razor has a five-blade cartridge made from Swedish specialty steel, enhanced with aloe vera and Vitamin E to lubricate before and moisturize after shaving, reducing nicks and cuts, Bolt said.
