Ever been on a camping trip only to discover that your torch has run out of batteries? Then you need to go to the toilet and you end up falling into a rose bush wounding your pride and joy! I think probably a few of us have been there.
Well maybe there’s a solution. The wind up LED camp light only needs a little muscle power to keep your tent illuminated.

Valextra has the distinction of never withdrawing a product once it has been introduced to their range. Considering the company began in 1937, that gives you an idea of the enduring popularity of their styling.

Much of their range is very expensive, but this grained leather overnight bag with wheels might be just the treat you need for your next holiday abroad. Dimensions 17.2” x 13.3” X 8.6”.
Need a good pole? Well look no further than the Leki Wanderfreund which has been engineered for walking stability.

Ideal for those adventure hiking holidays. This baby is made of aluminium so it’s light but strong, with a rubber end, telescopic extension so it’s compact - but fully erect stands at 65cm to 135cm. The icing on the cake is the ergonomic handle that could be a real deal maker on a long and arduous trip.
At the very least you could use this thing to poke your husband when his snoring in his sleep!
Retailing at around $49 this thing is well priced.
An SOS to all keen cyclists - you look like utter muppets wearing those lycra, ball busting numbers. Think about it ladies and gentleman!!
Thank god for Paul Smith whose seen the light and decided to produce some clothes for cyclists that actually look as if they were designed by a human being. Alleluia!!!
The 531 range of cycling gear for men is sleek as it is cool i.e loose fitting jeans with leather straps - to replace the humble bicycle clip. T-shirts and shirts that button onto jeans to prevent flap flap. Other items include a Tweed cap and streamlined anorak!

Ever had the problem of your trainers getting wet and then retaining a smell like a rubbish tip?
Well, Nike might have come up with a neat solution for your next beach holiday. It’s rather strangely named the “Soaker Mid”.

These babies resemble the classic baseball boot of old, but with a whole load of new technology installed under the hood.
Made from recycled components, including polyethylene body and laces, these babies will keep you comfortable in or out of water.
I really like the styling and could see them being a great addition to my next holiday. Retailing for £60 ($120) there not going to break the bank either.
