Hasta La Gadget!

There are some jobs that have you constantly looking over your shoulder. Oftentimes, it’s with high-price products such as oil and diamonds. Thanks to Hollywood, we have an inkling of an idea of how dangerous that market is, but there are many times when real life is worse than what’s on a screen. Simple negotiations could end in someone being seriously injured or killed.

Needless to say, you don’t want to walk in or out of business talks in a different country with a security detail, as that shows you don’t trust the other party. However, if you want to make sure you’re safe from bullets, the suit tailor Garrison Bespoke will have you covered, literally. They put themselves in the market of making Bulletproof Suits. These are lightweight, modern, and can take several hits from 9mm bullets or an attack from a hunting knife.

This is possible thanks to a multitude of layers of custom carbon nanotubes that are the same design from US troops uniforms. Of course, this is patented, and is far thinner than what is used on the battlefield, but you will always have a literal shield when you walk into a meeting. This was said to cost somewhere around $20,000, as they are essentially providing life insurance. The only problem is if you face that kind of fear every day, and need a suit for every day of the week. Not only that, but while it may keep your vital organs safe, you have to remember that your head is still exposed. It may save you from one danger, but not all of them.

You want to get the most out of your workout, so tracking your performance can help. You’ll see where you fall short, and can know when you’re going above and beyond. One key factor in all this is your heart rate. While most hearts are pretty capable of being put through the ringer, this is the one aspect of your body that never stops working, and you want to make sure you’re giving it just the right amount of push.

While heart rate monitors are great, wearing the strap it’s attached to is not so fun. For ladies, workouts in general are not very enjoyable if you don’t have a good sports bra. For all the women out there who want to keep their bodies inside and out in good condition, the Sensoria Fitness Sports Bra might help. This gives you a place to put a heart monitor, and negates the need for a strap.

Of course, bras are pretty expensive on their own, so it shouldn’t be a terrible surprise that this one is $59, as it has a special function. All in all, that’s asking a bit too much, as you’re still going to have to buy the monitor separately. All this provides is a pocket to put it. It is conveniently located at the breastbone, so it shouldn’t get in the way. It also has, ‘embedded ComfTech textile sensors offer an accurate heart rate monitoring signal through virtually any mobile app that is able to provide information such as: Heart Rate, Breathing Rate, and Calorie Burn ‘.

I just had my mom end up in the hospital screaming in pain from a spinal injury. Having a medical emergency is never a picnic, and dealing with fear and pain is tough enough as it is, so worrying about whether you’ll even be capable of telling the doctor everything they may need to know can just make matters so much worse. The pain was so severe mom couldn’t focus on anything, worse, she has a severe allergy to narcotic pain medicines. That had potential to end in complete catastrophe.

Sure, we’ve had Medic Alert bracelets for years, but we needed something that could provide more information, and in much greater detail than ever before.

Do you ever look at a picture someone took of you and realize how terrible your posture was? Of course, for the next few days, you try to correct this terrible flaw, and any time someone snaps a photo, you do your best to straighten up. However, a few weeks pass and you’re back to your old habits again. You can always ask family and friends to remind you when you’re slouching, but that places a responsibility on them that they shouldn’t really have.

The best way to go about changing an aspect of your life is to do it yourself because you want to see the difference. Of course, a little assistance is always nice, but you can’t rely on others to help you with your issues. The LUMOback Posture Sensor will help you do just that, by giving you gentle reminders throughout the day.

This is a strap that is worn on your lower back, and will connect wirelessly with your smartphone. The app it corresponds with will tell you all of the specifics of how you’re standing and sitting over the course of the day. Whenever you spine isn’t doing what it should be, it will vibrate to let you know you need to readjust. This $150 device can be worn over or under your clothes, and can also act as a activity and sleep tracker.

Almost everyone seems to have a penchant for collecting different types of bags. Messenger bags, camera bags, backpacks, purses, and much more take up space in a corner of our closets. We keep them around because we face various situations in which one bag may not be as efficient as the other. There are times of course where we also buy bags we already have to be trendy, or we find them aesthetically pleasing.

For all of you who have a fondness for minimalism and functionality, you’re going to want a all-in-one sort of deal that isn’t too cumbersome. The SOOT Electropack will fill your every need as a bag of holding, and can transform with a simple pull of a zipper. It can be a carry-on bag, a commuter backpack, or a slingback messenger bag. Of course, this doesn’t just hold your stuff, as it also charges any of your electronics through USB.

On the most basic level, this is a 3-in-1 backpack that also has a backup battery. Probably one of the most awesome things about this bag is that it can be two separate sections, or all one giant bag. The main materials are ballistic nylon, and a marine Vinyl, which means it can withstand water, weather, and is fade-resistant. The battery is 10,000 mAh, and it can charge 2 devices at once. This whole setup will cost you $239, but if you really love just the bag system, it’s also available for $179.
