BOOTS SPIN / LIZARD
Lizard’s Spin boat boots use OutDry, an all-Italian technology that unlike traditional waterproofing systems allows direct lamination of the waterproof, breathable membrane to the outer layer of the footwear, sealing off any potential water entry points. The sole is made of Vibram rubber in a compound designed not to leave annoying tracks on deck. Price: 189 euros. BUY HERE.
COMFORT SEAT / SUNBRELLA
Ideal for cockpit use, Comfort Seat combines ergonomics and quality in an innovative product design. The cushion can be used on any surface without slipping off. Made of coated polyurethane foam, it contains a six-position adjustable zipper inside. UV-resistant, floats and has a carrying handle. Price: 110.99 euros. BUY HERE.
ET100 / GME LED FLASHLIGHT
It recharges itself, serves as a USB charger for smartphones, tablets, mp3 players, and inside contains a compass, an emergency knife, a whistle, a signal mirror, and even a can and bottle opener. The ET100 LED emergency flashlight developed by GME is really valuable in critical situations. Made of yellow polycarbonate, it is waterproof and buoyant. Price: 74 euros. BUY HERE.
IPHONE CASE WITH FISHEYE / ARMOR-X
From Armor X comes the waterproof case for iPhone 5 and 5s equipped with a 170-degree fisheye lens-so you can take spectacular underwater shots by diving up to three meters deep. The cover has a polycarbonate outer structure combined with a silicone inner layer. Price: 89.99 euros. BUY HERE.
GPS BAD ELF PRO / BAD ELF
With the compact Bad Elf Pro GPS, which is waterproof and has a 128×196-pixel backlit LCD screen, you can display location data on your Apple devices (up to 5 devices).
