NEO-PRO FLOATING GPS CASE
Aaron H. Bible highlights Cartom's NEO-PRO Floating GPS Case in the January 2000 Issue of OUTFITTER Magazine. Aaron points out features like the UV stabilized clear plastic window allowing for unit operation while in the case, 3 mm neoprene padded protection, a quick access belt clip, and, of course, bouyancy in water.

SKOOZRSTM PADDED SKATING WALLET
Skoozrs has barely appeared on store racks and has already been reviewed by "Gadgets and Gear" in the December 7, 1998 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The review mentions the convenience of Skoozrs for carrying "your keys, your regular wallet, or some spare change." Skoozrs straps around your skate with a VELCRO TM strap, and although it works great on in-lines or quads, "nothing says you can't strap this wallet around your ice skates." Die-hard skaters will want Skoozrs for carrying skate tools and spare parts too!

OUTDOOR ZIP BAGS
The December, 1998 issue of CANOE & KAYAK highlights Cartom's Outdoor Zip Bags in their "new products" column. CANOE & KAYAK suggests that these durable, waterproof bags are not "intended to replace dry bags, but complement them and act as organizers." Outdoor Zip Bags make packing more efficient, and things are easier to find.
THE BIKER'S BOTTLE SLEEVE

From "Product Watch" in the August, 1998 issue of Adventure Cyclist, Mike Deme points out the benefits of using Cartom's Biker's Bottle Sleeve to carry a reserve water bottle. Deme writes, "The Biker's Bottle Sleeve would be handy when touring in areas where there may not be a sufficient supply of water between points,...or in areas of the world where potable water is scarce." He also recommends, "It is designed to hold water for refilling your regular water bottle; not to hold bottles which will be used while riding."

In addition to its designed use, Deme found that the Biker's Bottle Sleeve can also be used as a storage pouch to carry things like an extra "shirt and shorts."

CARTOM BOTTLE CARRIERS

From the U.K., HARPERS highlighted the "lightweight bottle carrying systems from Cartom," in "The Great Outdoors" of the June 9, 1998 issue. The article mentions the versatile attachment provisions for "waist belt/shoulder straps to bike bottle cages."
Also in the U.K., Outdoor Pursuits Magazine featured The Bottle Bridle as an "Editor's Choice" in "Outdoor Gear" from the July/September, 1998 edition. The article stresses The Bottle Bridle's design as a "universal bottle carrier which adjusts for the height, diameter, and shape of plastic bottles and drinks flasks." Cartom is distributed in the U.K. by Newhunt, Ltd.

NEO-PRO CAMERA STRAPS & TRIPOD CARRYING STRAP

The "INFOCUS" review in the June, 1998 issue of Outdoor Photographer confirms the features found in Cartom's Neo-Pro line of camera straps. Outdoor Photographer points out how the "non-skid design keeps the strap on your shoulder and an anti-fatigue quality absorbs shock." They also suggest that you "try out the Tripod Carrying Strap," which, when not in use, you can "Roll it up and store it in your pocket or camera bag."

CARTOM WRIST/ANKLE WALLET

Nationally syndicated columnist Judi Dash reviewed the Cartom Wrist Wallet during March, 1997 in her monthly column on travel gear and gadgets appropriately called, "Gear & Gadgets." Dash recommends the Cartom Wrist Wallet for those times when "carrying a wallet or purse is inconvenient, especially when all you need to tote is a room key, a few credit cards and some cash," and "In places where pickpockets are plentiful." The Wrist Wallet includes a plastic zip bag liner "for occasions when you are likely to get wet - canoeing, walking in the rain, at the beach." In testing the Cartom Wrist Wallet for her review, Judi writes, "I have used the wrist wallet on hiking trips and found it a hands-free way to protect a few valuables."

In the April/June 1998 issue of Outdoor Pursuits Magazine from the U.K., an "Outdoor Gear Editor's Choice" article noted that "some walking, running, paddling or cycling excursions are done with just the clothes you stand in." and that the problem is "where to stash your keys and small change." To solve the problem, "The (Cartom) wrist wallet from Newhunt (in the U.K.) is the answer."

NEO-PRO REPLACEMENT LUGGAGE STRAP

In another "Gear & Gadgets" review, nationally syndicated columnist Judi Dash put Cartom's Neo-Pro Replacement Luggage Strap through the paces. In the September, 1997 review, Dash refers to the "Comfort Strap" (her name for Cartom's Neo-Pro Replacement Luggage Strap). Stressing the convenience and comfort factors, Judi wrote that the strap "has just enough give to act as a shock absorber as you move." She also reports that the "material has a clinging quality that reduces the slide factor."

SPOTLIGHT ON CARTOM

Short of a full product review, products in the Cartom line have been spotlighted by some editors because they are unique or uniquely desireable for their intended purpose. A November, 1997 issue of the newsletter Money's Worth, spotlighted Cartom products included the Wrist Wallet,

The Internet online magazine Personal Watercraft Zone gave the spotlight to this product as well, recommending it for carrying licenses, I.D.s, and other personal valuables that need to be kept safe and dry.
