A Backcountry Skier’s Best Friend

Surprisingly, most backcountry skiers who die in avalanches aren’t killed by the sheer destructive power of the avalanche itself… but because they suffocate while buried under snow. The Aeros helmet is one simple & quick way to make survival more likely in the event of an avalanche. It not only protects the head & neck from injury, but creates an air pocket in front of the face so the wearer can breathe, offering more time for victims to activate other safety gear & for rescuers to locate those who are buried.

Drop-Top Yacht

Retractable hardtops have successfully equipped the automotive industry for decades… so why not the boating industry? Reversys Boat was designed from the inside out, using one mechanism to control three different positions to provide security, comfort and protection from the elements when closed… or fun in the sun when open. This modern tech creates an interesting contrast with the craft’s back-set cockpit, radical proportions and overall classic styling reminiscent of North American racers of the 1920s.

Something Cool Hiding in this Tire

Biking and camping go hand-in-hand, so this clever combination makes perfect sense for anyone looking for adventure! The Travel Tent is integrated seamlessly into a specialized bicycle wheel, giving the rider easy access once they arrive at their destination. It also takes some of the load off the rider’s back while freeing up space for other cargo. No question that it’s an interesting concept, but I’d love to see a functional version that adapts to any existing tire!
