Lumo Lift

Back pain is the most predominant chronic pain people suffer from and it is often developed over time through poor posture, I was eager to try this device as I suffer with back ache that can keep me up at night due to bad posture whilst sitting at my desk for long periods of time. The Lumo Lift is the first activity coach to focus in on bad posture and helps you form a good habit for a healthier body.

Guitar Pick Holder

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ideas, the Personalised Guitar Pick Holder is a sweet leather wallet for your plectrums to live in. I tend to throw my picks in the case or put them in my pocket (never to be seen again in most cases) but this little holder comes with a stainless steel keyring that is now attached to my guitar case zipper but could also be attached to your keys or belt, wherever is most convenient.

Flame Stower

More and more of our creature comforts depend on being charged (sometimes on a daily basis) and as a result a wide range of outdoor chargers have hit the market using various techniques and giving you high hopes for your next camping/hiking trip. We have previously tested out the BIOLITE and have been somewhat spoilt with that as it worked very well, other products we have tested have fallen between working ok to not working at all.

ER 20 High-Fidelity Earplug

I love live music but after one particularly loud gig (NME Tour 2006) I was left with a ringing in my ears for nearly 2 months, I was only 18 at the time I realised I wasn’t invincible and was actually at risk of damaging my hearing for good. Etymotic, meaning true to the ear, have been researching hearing and protecting hearing since 1983 and have created the High-Fidelity Earplugs with the aim of protecting hearing in loud situations.

EarthQuaker Devices Terminal Fuzz

Fuzz is that dirty thick growl a guitar will make that most people would associate with rock and roll, it gives the impression of a broken amp and is created by using pedals like the Terminal Fuzz. The Terminal Fuzz is based on the legendary Shin Ei Companion FY-2 fuzz from the 70’s but offers more control with dials to regulate the output volume level, treble to reduce or add bite, the voice dial controlling the upper and lower midrange and most important of all, fuzz control.

Bellroy Note Sleeve

Straight away I loved the way this product was packaged, people like to say you should never judge a book by its cover but the beautifully embossed, stitched and lined cardboard wallet hinted at a quality that was hard to ignore (with bonus points for being recyclable). The Note Sleeve, as with all the Bellroy products aims at keeping things slim, they eliminate leather in between the pockets to reduce bulk whilst designing the pockets as such to allow for easy access, for example the cheeky pull out tab is an innovative idea that slides any infrequently u

Under Armour Raid Short Sleeve T-Shirt

My partner never understood why men would need specially designed tops for exercise until one incredible cold and wet half marathon in a cotton t-shirt, that transformed his nipples into something that resembled two bleeding pieces of pepperoni (TMI?), after that he decided there was perhaps a need for a proper sports top, enter the Under Armour Raid Short Sleeve T-Shirt. Although the HEATGEAR material is designed for 20 ºC and above, it is ultra-light and can easily be worn as a base layer but my hot blooded boyfriend only ever tends to run in one layer a

Tek Gear Twiddler 3

When this thing landed on my desk I started looking around for the product it was so obviously a remote for…wrong! This mad looking device is actually a carefully designed keyboard and mouse in one, promising to be the world’s most mobile keyboard. It is created to be used in one hand and uses a system similar to that of a short hand type writer in that you use the 16 keys individually and in chords to type the words rather than spelling out the letters individually.
