fjallraven travel specific fall collection pack — Fjallraven

Sweden’s reigning outdoor company Fjallraven effectively implements functionality, durability, and dependability into every aspect of production and now, the brand plans to release a travel-specific collection. A company who began with a wooden-framed backpack in the meager town of OrnskOldsvik has since evolved into a coveted entity known around the world. Fjallraven serves a comprehensive outdoor market offering a range of sustainable apparel and practical gear — while standing by its mission to save the endangered Arctic fox.

This spring they intend to release the long-awaited travel collection — a specifically designed compilation of products which not only provide comfort but seek to inspire outside exploration. Fjallraven aims to ease travel woes with quality backpacks and clothing incorporating its tried and true G-1000 Heavy Duty Eco fabric. The wax-treated polyester and cotton blend fabric ensures durability, water resistance, and windproof elements in all climates.

The new collection offers a versatile Travel Pack which doubles as a backpack and a suitcase, boasting various compartments, protective padding, a moderate 35L capacity, and cushioned shoulder straps for all-day comfort. The Split Pack is a duffle bag that goes a step beyond, designed with a center zipper dividing two large compartments inset with multiple smaller storage chambers. The brand fashioned this creative carrier for the organized long-haul — combining efficiency and luxury.

Fjallraven’s Traveller’s Jackets and Trousers are equal parts breathable and compressible and feature a number of pockets for a phone, wallet, or other travel accessories. Men’s and women’s versions come standard in simple shades of navy, limestone, or savanna. Designed with complete versatility in mind, the company intends the lineup to serve as anything from everyday street wear to apparel used on a long hike off the beaten path.

The Split Pack retails for $175 with a larger version running at $200. The Travel Pack costs a touch more at $225, while the apparel ranges from $112 for the trousers to $225 for the jacket. All products are currently available for purchase on the Fjallraven website.

Mowing a lawn can be very therapeutic unless you have an older lawnmower, which makes life difficult and constantly causes you frustration. Luckily, you can snag a new lawnmower for a pretty good price, and even the more budget-oriented options have a lot of quality-of-life features that you wouldn't find on lawnmowers ten or even five years ago. To that end, we've gone about and collected some of our favorite lawnmower deals across the board, including some great robot lawn mowers that are worth checking out.
Litheli Cordless Lawn Mower U20 Handy+ -- $120, was $140

If you want a solid lawn mower, this offering from Litheli has a 13-inch cutting width, which is pretty good for the deal that you're getting. Even better, you get a 30L grass bag so you're not having to clean up after yourself, and you can mow for longer without having to stop. You also get 5 height adjustments so you can hone in the length of your grass to the perfect height, plus you get a 4.0Ah portable battery included.

Juiced Bikes offers 20% off on all e-bikes amid signs of bankruptcy

Juiced Bikes Scrambler ebike

A “20% off sitewide” banner on top of a company’s website should normally be cause for glee among customers. Except if you’re a fan of that company’s products and its executives remain silent amid mounting signs that said company might be on the brink of bankruptcy.That’s what’s happening with Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes.According to numerous customer reports, Juiced Bikes has completely stopped responding to customer inquiries for some time, while its website is out of stock on all products. There are also numerous testimonies of layoffs at the company.Even more worrying signs are also piling up: The company’s assets, including its existing inventory of products, is appearing as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.In addition, a court case has been filed in New York against parent company Juiced Inc. and Juiced Bike founder Tora Harris, according to Trellis, a state trial court legal research platform.Founded in 2009 by Harris, a U.S. high-jump Olympian, Juiced Bikes was one of the early pioneers of the direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the U.S. market.The company’s e-bikes developed a loyal fandom through the years. Last year, Digital Trends named the Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 as the best moped-style e-bike for 2023, citing its versatility, rich feature set, and performance.The company has so far stayed silent amid all the reports. But should its bankruptcy be confirmed, it could legitimately be attributed to the post-pandemic whiplash experienced by the e-bike industry over the past few years. The Covid-19 pandemic had led to a huge spike in demand for e-bikes just as supply chains became heavily constrained. This led to a ramp-up of e-bike production to match the high demand. But when consumer demand dropped after the pandemic, e-bike makers were left with large stock surpluses.The good news is that the downturn phase might soon be over just as the industry is experiencing a wave of mergers and acquisitions, according to a report by Houlihan Lokey.This may mean that even if Juiced Bikes is indeed going under, the brand and its products might find a buyer and show up again on streets and trails.
