Topeak Alien III

August 2nd, 2010

Sure it’s designed for cycling, but the Topeak Alien III’s 25 tool can fill the void when a tool box isn’t handy. The two halves of the pressed metal frame come apart revealing tool heads crafted from Chrome Moly and Stainless Steel. Included is everything from Allen, Box, Spoke, and Torx Wrenches to Tire Levers and a Chain Tool. There’s even a Knife Blade and a Bottle Opener.

So whether riding a mountain bike on your time off, or just looking for a handy emergency tool kit, consider the Alien III from Topeak.

We asked for it and we got it. After we reported about the Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger in “Inception” we received numerous reports about the FastMag and PMAG being seen on one of the “Transformer 3” stars as it was being filmed in Chicago. This photo, from the Chicago Tribune shows that Amanda Roter, 17, of Highland Park, is happy to pose with “Transformers 3” actor Josh Duhamel during a break in filming Pioneer Court off Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

EMFX Pouches from NEMO Equipment

July 30th, 2010

At the recent Warrior Expo – East NEMO Equipment had quite a few new wares on display. In addition to the ZIRO 2P SE Shelter, they also displayed the EMFX pouch. Sure, it looks like a mild mannered pouch made from 210D Ripstiop Nylon with a tough Hypalon belt loop. But don’t judge this pouch by its looks. The real power is inside. Using a conductive textile the EMFX pouch blocks all electromagnetic signals from reaching your cell phone. This means your phone won’t be tracked or attacked by adversaries. In addition to cell phones and other personal electronics, the EMFX pouch will also keep prying signals from interrogating your passport with RF chip. Measuring 4″ by 5.5″ it features a roll top to keep the duct and other debris out.

Unit orders can be processed by ADS.
