Most people have heard of collecting coffee grounds to feed your soil, but brands are doing much more with the post-bean. For example, Lilienthal Berlin is pressing grounds sourced from coffee shops and roasteries in Berlin into a surprising type of product: watches. The “Coffee Watch” features a Swiss quartz movement, sapphire-hardened mineral glass, a leather strap and a case made of used coffee grounds. The watch was created in partnership with Kaffeeform, which has been producing and peddling reusable coffee cups made from coffee grounds since 2009. So whether you’re committed to living more sustainably – or just love to wake up to the smell (or feel) of coffee – this might be the watch for you. Today we’re looking at a new line of athleisure sunglasses, bike lights and a cooling sun hoodie. This is Today in Gear.

Article One is an independent eyewear brand championing high-quality athleisure frames. Today, it announced a second, five-piece collection of sunglasses that boast lighter-weight frames, enhanced flexibility and enhanced scratch resistance. The company explains that this collection “deliberately resists performance aesthetics” and challenges the expectation that technical eyewear needs to look competitive or intense. All five frames are made with hexetate and CR39 polarized lenses with a backside anti-reflective coating that blocks 100 percent of UVA/UVB rays and prevents road glare. The glasses will each retail for $199 beginning on July 26.
Thousand is at the front line of bicycle helmet innovation; now, it’s expanding its lineup to include front and rear lights for bikes, scooters and other ‘forms of micro-mobility.’ The lights’ design was inspired by camera lenses, and the team equipped the lights with a dial that allows riders to toggle through three modes easily: Eco Flash, Solid and Daylight Flash. Lightweight (40g) and easily mounted (magnetically) to a variety of handlebars and seat posts, the lights are available in three colors and will retail directly from the Thousand website for $65 as a set or individually for $35 each.
This summer, Éclipse Sun Products partnered with 37.5 Technology to develop a line of sun products that harness thermoregulating technology while offering ample UPF sun protection. One standout is the 3.75 Hoodie – available in both men’s and women’s sizing. The shirt is made from recycled plastic bottles and offers 50+ UPF sun protection. It also boasts ‘humidity and temperature control’ designed by 37.5 Technology, which has managed to create “an evaporative cooling effect” that assists “your body’s natural processes to diffuse water off your skin before it consolidates as liquid sweat.” The Men’s 37.5 Hoodie Shirt is available in five colors and retails for $93.
Carhartt WIP has joined forces with Suicoke to tackle two of the brand’s most popular models: the Moto and Depa.

The Moto retails for $265 from the Carhartt WIP site, while the Depa can be secured for just $242.
