The A-team for adventure
The A-team for adventure
It’s the adventure traveller’s classic dilemma. What do you take along on the sort of holiday where you want to leave everything behind? If you’re going on a remote mountain trek or snorkelling off the Andaman coast, you don’t want to lug equipment which demands special care.
But as much as we love the idea of heading out with just a toothbrush and a change of clothes, some technology can enhance your holiday. The best adventure gadgets are simple to use, can withstand the weather where you are, and help you make the most of the moment.
Here are five adventure enablers that are worth the carry-on weight.
