Lighter, faster and half the size of its predecessor (the Classic), the new SteriPEN Adventurer uses UV light to sterilize sketchy water in under a minute. Ensuring safe drinking water where ever your travels take you, I would not have survived without it on my recent travels to countries like Cambodia and Laos.
Just press the button and place the lamp end in the water and stir. If you prematurely take the lamp out of the water, the purifier will warn you with a red light that the water is not ready to drink. There is no need for chemicals or harsh treatments that leave your water tasting like metal. Using the same sterilization technique as hospitals, the Adventurer can purify 16 ounces of water in 48 seconds, killing bacteria and viruses related to Dysentary, E. Coli, Salmonella, Cholera, Typhoid Fever and Giardia, among others—ailments could ruin your trip or even worse.
A must have for summer travels, the Adventurer SteriPEN is available at Amazon for $130.

by Julie Wolfson An example of function-inspired form, the Bedol Water Clock takes the water-powered capabilities of the original and adds a new drop-shaped design. The new perky look conjures a miniature wave (or is it a fin?) in a brilliant blue color and, like the original, it tells accurate time without the need for batteries or an electrical cord. A squeeze of lemon...
Daydreams of summer aquatic fun reminded us of Liquid Image's Underwater Digital Camera Masks, goggles with built-in video and photo capabilities.

by Rachel Felder Wheelies dominate airports everywhere, but a rolling case with tricked-out inserts, a sleek black finish, quirky dimensions and a wide flat top to sit out delays?
