Geared for many environments
BEIJING on a red-alert day, a smoky bar in Istanbul, a flowering arboretum in Memphis – stress the lungs. DetoxAir uses a HEPArated filter to turn bad air (smoke, exhaust, dust, pollen) into daisyfresh breath. The product fits in your mouth like a scuba regulator, but without the Darth Vader sound effects.
The water bottle, so brittle and tall, can be onerous when empty. You can’t tuck it in your back pocket between refillings. HydraPak solves the portable problem with Stash, a flexible container that collapses to the size of a hockey puck.
You don’t want to be one of those tourists, do you? Running around in a clear rubbish bag because you didn’t check the weather forecast that morning? Always be prepared – and chic – with a poncho by Reisenthel, a German familyrun company. The outer-gear folds into its own breast pocket and, at the first drop of rain, expands into a hooded cape. The eye-popping designs –polka dots, starfish, stripes – will bring sunshine to any cloudy day.
Popticals solves the unwieldy specs issue with its optical transformers. With a few clicks and slides, the sporty sunglasses fold up into a palm-size object.
Tooletries, of Australia, civilises tiny bathrooms with its toiletry holders. The silicon organisers grip onto mirrors, tiles and glass, and don’t leave any trace of their presence post-removal. The Amazing Mighty Toothbrush Holder holds 9kg and compartmentalises oral implements, razors and rings. The koala- and kangaroo-shaped containers remind kids that brushing can be fun, even when they are thwacking their elbows against the shower stall. – Washington Post
