50 Amazing Travel Gadgets You Gotta Have

Technology.am — There are many gadgets that may be considered by you. It is obvious; you don’t forget your laptop or cell phone while traveling, whether for business or leisure. But here we are collecting some of the less-obvious gadgets that you may want to consider when traveling.

Apple Nike+ Armband:

The water-resistant Apple Nike+ Armband for the iPod Nano will do the trick and then some. Once fastened to your arm underneath a coat or jacket, its wide Velcro clasp makes it virtually impossible to steal, at least without you noticing.

AquaSkipper:

AquaSkipper is a new 6-foot-long Jet Ski that makes you hop on water instead of walking or surfing on it. The device relies on the hopping motion to propel the ski forward. It is made from aircraft grade aluminum and has a wingspan of seven feet. For the propulsion the device relies on a fiberglass spring.

Biometric Card:

The Fly Clear card is like an EZPass/FastLane card for airline travelers. Currently available at select airports – with more added regularly – it allows you quick and easy access through obscenely long security lines. Tim Ferriss – author of The 4 Hour Work Week – claims it “cuts down my airport wait time about 95%”. I’m sold.

Bottle Opener Sandals:

Fancy yourself more of a hops fellah than a wino? The aforementioned Reef has outdone themselves by combining the classic staple of beach life – the sandal – with the classic staple of the beach life boozer – the bottle opener.

CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Backpack:

And, of course, we have to wrap this up with one kick ass backpack in which to store all of this great gear. This incredible bag – available for less than $150US – packs enough space for a 17″ laptop; pro digital SLR camera; 35 mm or compact medium format system; 4-5 lenses (up to 400mm f/2.8); camera flash and virtually all of your accessories.

Credit Card-Sized 8GB Storage Device:

A flashpacker’s delight. It’s lame name aside, the PQI U510 manages to cram 8GB of storage into a slick, aluminum credit card-sized unit.

De-Pooify Your Water Supply:

If you’re not a big fan of drinking animal droppings with your river water while hiking or on the go, the MSR Miox water filter is all you need to de-pooify a steady, virtually unlimited, potable water supply.

Foldable Bike:

We’ve seen some odd bicycle designs before, but none were as collapsible as this folding bike concept by British designer Thomas Owen, called “One.” Look how it folds into that nicely portable rounded shape, resembling a hatbox with an easy carrying handle.

Foldable cloth oven:

All those who love outdoors might well know the food problems you’ve to face. Need not face them anymore! Next time you go out for camping, take the foldable oven with you. Researchers in Taiwan Textile Institute have developed a cloth that can take high temperatures (over 300 degrees) making it hot enough to roast chicken or bake cookies.

FreeAgent GO:

Of course, if the miniscule capacity restrictions of a USB Drive are too small for you, you can always opt for the Seagate FreeAgent GO. It’s available in up to 160GB capacity and it’s about the size of a deck of cards making it extremely portable. The kicker is that you can hook this bad boy up to any computer (think: internet cafe in Bangkok) and run all of your own software, web settings, etc. off of it.
