SALOMON MEN’S SPEEDCROSS 5
THIS IS THE latest generation of Salomon’s highly successful Speedcross range of trail-running shoes. The Speedcross 5 makes use of updated geometry to deliver a high level of traction, both for setting off and coming to a stop. SensiFit technology ensures that the entire foot feels comfortable, and that the shoe fits appropriately. Tight-weave mesh keeps debris from entering, making for many more comfortable kilometres out on the trails.

BAROCOOK COOKING SYSTEM
When cooking, sometimes a microwave or open flame – or even electricity – isn’t necessary. Using a quicklime mineral compound mixed with water, the BAROCOOK system heats food to temperatures of up to 95°C. Developed by the South Korean military, the exothermic reaction that takes place under the metal container results in your dinner quickly being warmed up and ready to eat. With portability and usability being its key features, the system can be taken almost anywhere, is resistant to wind and functions at high altitudes.
