Pocket Shower for Outdoor Lovers

post from Ubergizmo on 12 May 2008 03:42:26 AM. © Ubergizmo

Do you happen to life an adventurous outdoor lifestyle? Perhaps the 2.6 gallon Pocket Shower could be next on your shopping list.

Built into the base is a compact showerhead that operates with an easy-to-use on/off twist mechanism. The twist spout also serves to adjust the flow of water, delivering an efficient trickle to a free-flowing shower. Fill the 10 Liter (2.6 gallon) Pocket Shower, roll it to close at the top and hang it from two tough Delrin™ D rings with the 20 feet of lightweight cord provided. The black fabric soaks up sun during the day at basecamp for a warm shower or fill it at the end of the day for a cool rinse.

Not only does it offer you a refreshing bath in the middle of nowhere, when dry it can function as a sack to transport clothes or even a sleeping bag.

Heat Sensitive Pants

Global Hypercolor has introduced color-changing technology into a couple of heat sensitive knicker designs from Green Knickers. Now, the entire pair isn't heat sensitive, as only the daisy motif on the front is subsceptible to it. As for the rest of the knickers, it is made out of organic cotton for the ultimate comfort. Now if only someone could come up with a lie-detector version built right into it - one's pants no longer needs to catch fire but change color instead. They retail for £15 apiece.

Travel Charger Bag

Travel Charger Bag

Going for a trip is exciting, but some people (like me) find packing to be a chore. After, we not only have to consider the number of clothes that we have to carry these days but all the gadgets as well. The Travel Charger Bag aims to ease this headache by letting you stow your various devices in four pockets, including their respective appendix cords. The bag is also spacious enough to hold chargers and a power strip/surge protector which is able to charge everything inside via a single hotel room outlet. Handy! It will cost you $40 to bring this puppy home (and on your travels).

Eye-Fi has New Models

Eye-Fi has New Models

Eye-Fi continues to innovate with three new models - the Eye-Fi Explore, the Eye-Fi Share and the Eye-Fi Home. The Explore enables users to upload their photos automatically via 10,000 hotspots throughout the US, and this is made possible via a partnership with Wayport. Unfortunately, the service is good for only one year so Eye-Fi had better look for longer terms partnerships soon. As for the Share, it adds automatic syncing with your PC and works with services such as Flickr. The Home is pretty much self-explanatory, targeting the person who wants to sync photos with the PC only and not meant for uploads. The Explore, Share and Home will retail for $129, $99 and $79, respectively this June 6th.

SwissBike Folds Up Within Seconds

SwissBike Folds Up Within Seconds

Cycling has obviously many advantages, especially when you live in a central area where everything is pretty much close by and driving a car will be too much of a hassle. Unfortunately, most bicycles aren't too easy to carry around if you're planning to be more adventurous from getting from point A to point B. The SwissBike XO is one mode of transportation that will change your mind - this full size mountain bike with 26" wheels can be folded into a 36" x 28" x 12" size in less than half a minute through a quick-release system that doesn't even need a toolbox handy. All that is made possible thanks to the company's Foldable Integrated Technology System and CLIX Wheel Retention System. SwissBikes aren't cheap though, retailing from $679 all the way up to the high end $2,250 XO model.

No, the device you see on the right is no brain probe found on a crashed alien spaceship, but is instead a USB-powered head massager. While other models in the market look menacing, this one doesn't look half as painful. It is meant to relieve stress, migraines and headaches after spending some time with it. It's use isn't limited to just your head though, as it can massage other parts of the body as well by rearranging the legs. This unique head massager can be powered via USB or a couple of AA batteries, depending on the situation.

Tae Kwon Do Vest

Want to know just how deadly (or ineffective) your newly acquired tae kwon do kick is? Figure it out with the Tae Kwon Do Vest. This wearable project uses a bunch of piezoelectric sensors to measure the kick strength, translating that into a numerical figure for you to gloat over your opponents. I think it doesn't really matter for the recipient as he/she will feel nothing but a world of pain instead.

Future of Cell Phones

Future of Cell Phones?

Do you think the current cell phone form factors will change in the future? This is a really open-ended question, but being the constantly innovating beings that we are, chances are the answer will be in the affirmative. You will require to use a natural gesture with this literal hand phone (as some circles would call it), boasting voice control for activation as well as dial memorized numbers. The microphone can be placed near the mouth while the speaker is located almost inside the ear, facilitating communication even in the noisiest of environments. Wearing this handset is as simple as wearing a watch, but it had better be waterproof cause don't you think it would be a hassle to take it off every time you went to the loo?
