Inflatable

The immune system’s foreign body response is key for keeping us healthy – but it’s not so useful when that foreign body is a medical implant. A new device prevents scar tissue forming around implants by gently inflating and deflating every 12 hours.

The latest Heimplanet tent is designed for duos who like to be well-prepared. A new evolution of Heimplanet's inflatable geodesic design creates a tent with a low weight, plenty of stability, and room for two+ people and the gear they brought.

Some people find tents with poles to be a little too fiddly to set up, which is one of the main reasons why inflatable tents were invented. Aerogogo's Giga tent takes the easiness factor a step further, by automatically inflating itself.

Even more convenient than the average inflatable camper, the rugged Mars Space X Air steps further into full automation. It unfolds, inflates and stabilizes at the push of a few buttons, creating a roomy base camp for up to six people.

The latest model in Heimplanet's family of distinctive geodesic inflatable tents is the most conspicuous yet. Inspired by Icelandic backcountry storm shelters, the new Cave XL 4-Season adds extra size, storm worthiness and bright, blazing color.

Stand-up paddle boards certainly can be fun, but kayaks are generally a faster, more efficient means of getting around. Watercraft company Bote has now combined the best features of both, in its redesigned Rackham Aero paddle board.

When most people think of life vests, they likely picture yokes that are worn around the user's neck. Switlik Survival Products' new UA-80 Evolution Vest takes what is claimed to be a better approach, however, by going under the arms.

Back in 2020, Exod debuted one of the more striking tents of modern times. As intriguing as it was, the 18-lb, $2,240 Ark wasn't practical for many. Exod strikes back with the Monolith, a smaller, lighter inflatable ground/tree tent with lower price.

Known for turning everyday cars into RVs, Luno is now looking to turn camper vans into camper vans with more sleeping space. Perfect for #vanlife honeymooners turned parents, its Front Cab kit adds an extra berth to the all-American camper van.

Alpha previewed its Wolf electric pickup earlier this year, and this month it shows how that truck turns into a full camper to compete with options from Tesla and Rivian. With help from Heimplanet, it's created the Cloudbreak inflatable camper.

While some people like the idea of kayaking, they may be put off by how cumbersome the boats are to transport, and how tippy they can be. The Super Kayak – currently on Kickstarter – is made to address both concerns.

If you should become separated from your sailboat, kayak or other watercraft out on the open sea, staying afloat isn't the only challenge – you also have to be seen by your rescuers. That's where the wearable, inflatable SeeArch is made to come in.
