Travel Product Review

Smart Phone Carrier 

This in-car accessory is a must have for road tripping.  Extremely useful for hands-free navigation, while utilizing your smartphone map function to find your next travel adventure.

The smartphone adapter is universal to most popular models (Apple, Samsung, HTC) and has a strong magnetic mount for ease of placement and can be installed to any front loading CD player slot.

OGIO Layover

Extremely durable, able to pack one person clothes for a week and easy to transport in/out of vehicle.

The ability to have a telescopic handle & wheels makes transporting from hotel/house to vehicle a breeze (especially when packed with loads of travel gear).

This item was personally used by an Auto Spa Canada staff on a west coast trip involving planes, trains and automobiles

Pop-up Tent

If you've ever got tired of having to setup a tent and fiddle with its various poles, your in luck!  The Coleman pop-up tent has been used multiple times by an Auto Spa Canada staffer for some great car-camping road trips.

It's as easy as pulling the tent out of the storage case, finding a suitable (preferably flat w/ minimal roots) location and letting the tent pop-out.

(It does take a few practices at folding the tent back into the storage case, so it's best to try this at home before heading out of your first pop-up adventure. )

Survival Bracelet

Regardless if your in the back-country on a week long canoe camping trip or out on a day hike at your local hiking trail, emergencies can pop-up anywhere.

The need for assistance may not always be possible via mobile phone, especially if you've become immobilized due to a sever fall causing a leg fracture as example.

The Gerber Survival Bracelet offers three unique features that make it a must for an outdoor enthusiast:

  1. Whistle (attract attention for assistance)
  2. 12 ft of para-cord that can help with securing a splint
  3. Fits on your wrist   

Thule Box Carrier

The Thule Ascent 1700 box carrier is an ideal mid-size cargo solution.  The Ascent 1700 has two unique features that make for simple loading/unloading capabilities: 

  • Quick grip screw down (able to latch onto factory or Thule load bars w/ internal screw down leaver - no nuts & bolts)
  • Dual-side opening (opens from both passenger & driver side, making for easier loading)

Inflatable Pillow

Traveling in your vehicle on lengthy trips can create opportunities for the passengers to rest their eyes, relax and nap.

If your pressed for vehicle space, typically a normal pillow is too cumbersome to keep on hand.

The inflatable pillow offers a convenient solution and inflates with two big breathes.

Convenience extends to how small it packs-up, making it easy to place in the glove box for future use.

OGIO Renegade Backpack

The OGIO Renegade backpack has been used by an Auto Spa Canada staffer this past summer.  The staffer has used this bag for a range of activities including cottage night-over, gym and air travel carry-on bag.

A key benefit provided by the OGIO Renegade backpack is its numerous pockets to store all essential electronic gear (e.g. 15'' laptops, tablets, headphones), travel papers and all important sun-glass holder.
