TAKE YOUR MUSIC EVERYWHERE
The ECOXGEAR: ECOXBT Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker lets you stream your
Smartphone or tablet music from up to 10m away. So whether you’re idling by
the pool or rowing a boat on a lake or river, these waterproof rubberized speakers
deliver full-range stereo sound and have a built-in mic for speakerphone function.
Take your pick from red, orange and black.
TRAVEL LIGHTER
The iPad Mini is a boon to travelers. Pencil-
thin and weighing a mere 0.68 lbs, you’ll
hardly feel it’s in your bag. But once you get
it out, you’ll relish all the goodness of the
iPad in this little baby. The powerful A5 chip
makes working it so fluid while you enjoy
FaceTime with family and friends or shoot
movie clips with the iSight camera. Available
in black and slate, and white and silver,

TRAVEL PHOTOS
If you think pro-looking snaps are
the domain of DSLR owners, the
new Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 will make
you rethink that. Sony’s new camera
packs a 35mm full-frame sensor and
wide aperture F2 fixed-focal lens into
a body much smaller than DSLRs —
one that fits in the palm of your hand.
And with an effective resolution of
24.3
megapixels, expect razor-sharp
images. It’ll definitely make you
explore photo possibilities beyond
a jump shot. And at just 482g, it’s
lightweight!
TRAVEL WITH STYLE
This weekend bag from The School of
Satchel is a stylish alternative to a rugged
backpack. On the outside, the weatherproof
wool and nubuck leather protect your stuff,
while the suede-lined interior has pockets
to stash your travel essentials. We love
the outside compartment that’s perfect to
hold your DSLR camera or sunglasses.
