The Preston Innovations Space Maker is a flat back umbrella that gives you 20% extra coverage than the average umbrella ensuring you stay dry in the rain and protected in the sun. Preston has created the Space Maker Flat Back Brolly with short spokes to reduce the excess unusable space at the back of the brolly when it is used at a tilted angle, it means you don’t have metal spokes pressed into your head as you try to keep out of the rain.

This London based company have tried to think of everything when it comes to aptly named bags and with the Wonder Bag. But don’t let its sweet heart shape design fool you this is an intelligently designed multifunctional bag that has a place for everything and keeps everything in its place. It has shoulder straps (rucksack style) that can be tucked away when not in use, detachable stroller straps and can be carried as either a tote or shoulder bag, lots of options to play with whilst jugging a child, pushchair and/or shopping bags.

Sound bars are increasing in popularity and can set you back anything from 50 quid to quadruple figures, but are they always really worth the money? Orbitsounds’ A70 airSound Bar is this British company’s flagship sound bar and claims to be perfect for clear dialogue on TV, music streaming and offering a thrilling movie experience.

The Nuband Activ+ is a fitness tracker that monitors activity and sleep, it allows you to set silent alarms, will give you reminders when you have been inactive for too long and works alongside a companion app. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get an activity tracker these days and the Nuband Activ+ is a prime example of this, the strap and tracker feel and look good quality, I like that the Nuband Activ+ can display the time unlike my Fitbit Flex (much to the annoyance of my very young nephew who keeps calling it a clock).

The Merge VR Goggles are a bright purple VR headset made out of squidgy foam that is compatible with nearly any iOS and Android device released in the last two years. I love the look of these, they are colourful and while the chunky block edges look great they more importantly form a massive protective case for your phone whilst it’s in there, you can throw it in your bag or let the kids pull it about without too much worry. There are holes in all the right places so you can still access charging ports and volume keys for example.

For me and probably most people when you see the brand Marshall you think of huge amps and cabinets, rock concerts and the possibility of crowd surfing and then thinking against it as you could just crash to the bottom of the pit.  I had no idea that they had branched out into headphones and having had a look into their collection they have quite a range of other tech including their own smartphone called London.

The AirZone Pro is designed to be a four season hillwalking and lightweight trekking, it is absolutely rammed with special features, first and foremost is the most distinctive aspect about this bag and indeed its namesake, the AirZone cut out. The idea behind this is that it keeps as much of your body away from the rucksack allowing your skin to breathe, keeping you cooler and less sweaty, the parts of the bag that are touching your back are made from a breathable mesh this also reduces the weight and is anatomically shaped for increased comfort.

Lazer’s Wasp Air Cycle helmet is no ordinary cycling to the shops kind of lid, it is an aerodynamically designed helmet to suit triathlons, track racing and time trails. Unlike full fairing helmets there is no tail on the Wasp Air, the idea being that during longer sessions your head will move, causing the tail to create significant drag so by compromising the tail Lazer have made a more forgiving helmet that doesn’t lock you into position for the duration of the session.

I have been keen to review the K Board from Keith McMillen Instruments for quite some time as an owner and fan of their previous keyboard the QuNexus. When I received the K Board I did think I had been sent the QuNexus again as the display looks very similar being the same size and with the same layout but upon closer inspection I could see the control buttons on the left hand side had different functions labelled.  For those who have never used either a QuNexus or a K Board the device is designed to be portable with dimensions 325mm(L) x 84mm(W) x 11mm(D)

Without you even knowing it, you probably use a DAC daily if you listen to music on anything other than vinyl or cassette tape. It is the key to transforming digital information into real audible sound, they live in your computer, cd player, mp3 player, tablets and phones but they are not all made in the same level of quality. The ifi Nano iDSD is the first serious portable DAC that can play ALL high-resolution formats PCM, DSD and DXD.
