Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios.
Congratulations are in order for the team behind the first ever pole-to-pole expedition powered by an eclectic vehicle. On December 15th, Chris and Julie Ramsey completed the 17,000-mile journey in a Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE which was modified slightly to ensure the mission was a success. Still, the couple had to make the journey in 150-200 mile segments to allow the car to recharge frequently. This charging necessity actually resulted in new EV charging stations being installed throughout Central and South America, which will power locals for years to come.
Today we’re taking a look at a pocket watch for the modern times, a non-alcoholic brew for craft beer fans and a hand-knit sportswear release. This is Today in Gear.
