SKOOZRS TM PADDED SKATING WALLET
skate 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!


THE BIKER'S BOTTLE SLEEVE

bottle sleeveFrom "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."

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

Wrist WalletNationally 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 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."
