CarCamper distills in-vehicle camping down to the basics with a light, simple, affordable "camper in a bag" that works with a variety of vehicles. The collapsible kit transforms everything from actual vans to three-door hatchbacks into micro-campers.

Swimming is one of those sports in which stopping to check a smartwatch can be quite disruptive. Because of this, we've recently seen a number of performance-tracking goggles. One of the newest, known as Holoswim, is now on Kickstarter.

While a headlight and tail light are essential for night-time bicycle commuting, one thing that really catches motorists' eyes is movement. Arclight Bike Pedals were designed with that in mind, as they feature auto-color-changing LED modules.

While there's no substitute for in-person soccer coaching, a coach can't be watching what every player is doing, all the time. That's where the Jogo system is made to come in, as it continuously tracks players' performance from within their shoes.

Ordinarily, a backpack is something that you take off if you're getting too hot. The NASA-inspired Honu, however, is claimed to actually make its user feel up to a total of 20º F (11º C) cooler than if they weren't wearing a pack at all.

Startup Amonito has launched an all-in-one guitar amplification package shaped roughly like an ammonite that offers analog tube-driven sounds and digital effects. And there's a lot to like here, apart from the rather high price of entry.

A redesigned and rebranded version of the Mollusc Nano tent we looked at in 2015, the Campo Escape M4 hits the scene as the "world's first retractable tent." Its fabric pulls back so outdoor revelers can greet the world.

Hydration packs are great for keeping a water supply close at hand when you're out biking or running, but … you might feel funny wearing one on your urban commute. That's where the Danú Bag comes in, as it's designed to look like a regular backpack.

Boxing training is definitely a good workout, even for people who don't actually box. Punching bags, however, are big, heavy and expensive. That's where the Aqua Boxing Glove comes in, as it uses water to add resistance and work the proper muscles.

Over the years, we've seen a number of experimental "smart" gloves that convert their deaf wearer's hand gestures into text. The aptly named Sign Language Translation Glove, however, is claimed to be the first mass-produced product to do so.

Given the fact that bicycle commuters have to carry a lock with them at all times, we've seen a number of bike parts that double as locks. One of the latest, the ET-one, lets a pedal do the job – partially, at least.

Since smartphones have pretty much replaced point-and-shoot cameras, we're now seeing an increasing number of devices that make phones more camera-like to operate. A new one, the Fjorden, stands out by being slim enough to fit in a pocket.
