Here’s your guide to travel and outdoor tech you’ll actually use, not gear that ends up forgotten at the bottom of your bag.
Travelling means embracing everything from rugged outdoor adventures to city escapes. But whether you’re camping by a lake, road-tripping, or catching a flight overseas, the right outdoor and travel tech makes all the difference. The best gadgets aren’t just stylish they’re functional, durable, and genuinely useful.
1. Power Banks That Keep You Going
When you’re exploring or on the move, your phone is your map, camera, and lifeline — and running out of charge is the last thing you want. That’s where a portable power bank becomes essential.
The BASEUS 5000mAh Magnetic Power Bank is a slim, card-sized portable charger designed for seamless everyday charging.
Pro Tip: Always charge your power bank the night before your trip and pack a short, durable cable that won’t tangle in your bag.
2. Space-Saving Travel Tech
When it comes to travel, less is more. Choose multi-purpose gadgets that cut down on clutter. For example, universal travel adapters with USB-C ports or foldable Bluetooth keyboards can help you work or stay connected without extra weight.
The MELERY Universal Travel Adapter is the ultimate charging companion for globetrotters. Designed to work in over 200 countries, it supports UK, EU, AU, and US plug types, Equipped with three USB-A ports and one USB-C port,

Pro Tip: Keep all your cables and small devices in one zipped organiser. It prevents tangles and makes airport security checks faster.
3. Reliable Outdoor Lighting
The great outdoors are breathtaking but can be unpredictable. Whether you’re setting up camp after sunset or walking to your car in low light, a good LED torch or headlamp is a must. Rechargeable or solar-powered options give you reliability without waste.
Consider solar lanterns that double as phone chargers — a clever addition that reduces the number of devices you need to pack.
Light up your adventures with the Rechargeable LED Camping Lantern. This is a must-have for every camper, hiker, and outdoor enthusiast.
Pro Tip: Always check your torch’s battery level before leaving home. Rechargeable lithium batteries hold power longer and perform better in cold conditions.
4. Organised Travel = Stress-Free Travel
Packing smarter makes every trip smoother. Travel organisers, cable pouches, and RFID safe wallets help you stay tidy and secure while on the go.
Our Travel Collection offers compact organisers perfect for frequent flyers and weekend adventurers. Keeping essentials easy to find means less time unpacking and more time exploring.
Pro Tip: Pack by category — tech gear, toiletries, and clothing in separate cubes or pouches. It saves space and prevents mess.
5. Connectivity and Safety on the Go
In the age of digital travel, staying connected is essential. Portable Wi-Fi devices, local SIM cards, and noise-cancelling earphones can elevate your journey. Durable phone cases and screen protectors are equally important, ensuring your device survives drops and rough terrain.
Pro Tip: Before you leave, download offline maps and language translation apps. They can be lifesavers when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
6. Tech for the Outdoorsy
For those who love exploring off-grid, look for weatherproof tech. Solar chargers, rugged Bluetooth speakers, and waterproof action cameras let you enjoy nature without worry.
Check out the JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth Speaker, the ultimate portable, waterproof sound companion for outdoor adventures, parties, and travel.
Explore our Outdoors Collection for gear designed to perform in all conditions — from the campsite to the coast.
Pro Tip: Test all your gear before leaving home. Nothing ruins a weekend away faster than discovering your charger or light doesn’t work once you’re out in nature.
