Gadling Gear Review: Scottevest Transformer Jacket

While each of those tech toys has made travel more enjoyable, it isn't always easy to keep them ...Three Unsung Travel Gear Items
I registered for the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show, a gear extravaganza that takes place twice a year in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, "day job" stuff got turned on its head such that I can't attend, though fellow Gadling Gear Guy Kraig Becker will be representing and will ...On Traveling Without The Big DSLR Camera
I own a Nikon D200 with some extra stuff, including a 28-300 telephoto lens that weighs a ton. I have a Panasonic Lumix (that's what I used to shoot this picture of dusk in the Serengeti), and an iPhone. I have a video camera, too (the only thing on my list of gear that I ...Gadling Gear Review: Lowepro Urban Photo Sling 150 And Flipside Sport
One of the biggest challenges for travel photographers, both amateur and pro, is finding a way to comfortably carry all of our gear while also keeping it well protected. As digital SLR's have become more affordable and ubiquitous, more and more of us find ourselves carrying ...Gadling Gear Review: Gregory Border Laptop Day Pack
Been hunting around for the perfect pack to hold your laptop, lunch, water bottle, jacket and spaghetti plate of chords? Yeah, you're not the only one. Good news! I've found one that I really like – and trust me, I've tried a dozen of these things and I'm keen to their ...Gadling Gear Review: Satechi Portable Energy Station
I think it is safe to say that we now travel with more gadgets than ever. Between laptops, iPods, smartphones, tablets and digital cameras, we tend to hit the road with more technology at our disposal than James Bond. Keeping the batteries on all those gadgets fully charged ...Gadling Gear Review: Braven 600 Portable Speaker
A month or so back we posted some suggestions for tech and travel gifts for dads and grads with the Braven 600 portable speaker earning a spot on that list. This small, yet powerful, sound system is so impressive that we thought it was worth a full review as the compact ...Packing Notes For Summer Travels
Did anyone else totally screw up their packing for TBEX, the recent travel blogger's conference in Denver? I did, egregiously. Having deferred to the Rocky Mountain location at Keystone Resort, I completely overlooked the fact that it was in the 90s in Denver. I packed as ...Gadling Gear Review: iZon Remote Room Monitor
Have you ever been away from home and wished that you had the ability to look in just to see what was happening back at the domicile? If so, then Stem Innovation has a product that may be of interest to you. Whether you're in the room next door or halfway around the world, ...Gadling Gear Review: Looptworks Laptop Sleeves
I slide my laptop into the outside pocket of my roll-aboard bag. I can never decide if this is ideal. I want there to be a bit more padding to absorb the crush of knocking up against seats in the aisle – or to protect it from the massive game of overhead bin Tetris. So ...Gadling Gear Review: Icebreaker LS Tech T Lite
Travelers who prefer to pack light are always on the lookout for ways that they can shed weight without sacrificing comfort or functionality. Occasionally that happens when they discover new gear that is lighter and more versatile than something that was previously ...Gadling Gear Review: Vaya Pannier Hybrid Bicycle Bag
Once upon a time I was a hardcore bicycle commuter. This means I still know what I like in bike gear because when you do enough time in the saddle, you get opinions about these things. Vaya makes good looking bike bags that will help you get your gear from point A to point B ...Gadling Gear Review: Brooklyn Outfitters Wolfjaw 16L Backpack
Over the years, major outdoor gear companies like North Face and Patagonia have built billion dollar businesses out of selling their various jackets, base layers, packs and other equipment. But these days some of the highest quality and most innovative gear comes from ...Gadling Gear Review: REI La Porte Jacket
I love it when it's time to put away the winter gear – that's sometime around the end of June in Seattle. You still need a rain shell, though, even in high summer so it's nice to find something that's not styled like all your other GoreTex foul weather gear. REI's La ...Gadling Gear Review: Lowepro Event Messenger 250 and Flipside 500 AW
One of the greatest travel innovations of the past two decades is, without a doubt, the digital camera. Not only have they made photography more fun but more accessible as well, allowing us to capture travel memories like never before. Over the years, digital cameras have ...Gadling Gear Review: SuperTooth Disco Portal Speaker
One of the best things about carrying smartphones, tablets and laptops with us when we travel, is that we are also generally carrying our entire music libraries with us as well. The problem is, the speakers on those devices aren't usually the best for enjoying that music and ...Nat Geo Announces 2012 Gear Of The Year
Travelers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for the best new gear for their summer adventurers will want to check out National Geographic's Adventure Blog. Earlier this week the site announced its selections for Gear of the Year, with the best new tents, boots, gadgets and ...Gadling Gear Review: REI Kimtah Rain Jacket And Pants
Whether you're hiking a local trail or trekking through the Andes, nothing can ruin your day more quickly than a sudden and unexpected rainstorm. Worse yet, being wet and cold on a trail, hours from shelter can be a recipe for disaster. That's why it is so important to have ...'Scratcher' Travel Map For Visual Boasting
"A map of the world begins with all the land masses having a brassy sheen, but that metallic surface scratches off like a lottery ticket to keep track of your travel destinations."
Like you don't want one. I want one and I'm neither a compulsive list maker nor one of ...Gadling Gear Review: Western Digital My Book Live
The biggest buzz word in technology over the past year or two has been "cloud services" with a number of companies, including Apple, Microsoft and Google, all announcing options that allow us to store files onto a virtual drive that is available whenever and where ever we ...
