Another total solar eclipse, a celestial event that drew millions outside back in 2017, will be visible from parts of the U.S. in April. This year’s path of totality spans from Texas to Maine, but a partial eclipse can be seen from all 48 contiguous states. And while you’re likely too late to snag a campground reservation for viewing, you’ll want to have solar viewing glasses handy if you plan to step outside on April 8.
Today we’re taking a look at an ice barrel, YETI’s new colorways and yes, a solar eclipse lens. This is Today in Gear.
