Outdoor Technology

When rescuing avalanche victims or other people in cold, snowy outdoor conditions, it can be difficult to monitor their vital signs via traditional means. The MedSENS device was created with that fact in mind, as it simply goes in the ear and gets strapped to the head.

There's some pretty cool high-tech gadgetry being designed for the likes of trekkers, skiers, surfers and trail runners these days. Whether you're looking for helpful tools to jumpstart a New Year's resolution or shopping for the outdoor junkie in your life, these gadgets are for you.

Outdoor Tech is no stranger to the world of crowd funding. Its latest Kickstarter is for the BIG Turtle Shell, a wireless speaker with big sound and enough power to double as a portable charger.

Outdoor Technologies' followup to its well-received Turtle Shell wireless speaker packs a larger Armadillo shell.

Gizmag compares the specs (and other features) of the rugged Galaxy S4 Active and standard Galaxy S4.

Outdoor Technology is close to launching the Turtle Shell speaker designed for outdoor activities like cycling.
