Every man likes a good gadget – here are five of Fintan Gillespie'scurrent favourites
Quechua Two-Second Tent, €50This is a must have for camping trips and festivals. This lightweight tent is erected in a throw and cuts out the need for tent poles. This was a lifesaver in the rain at this year's Electric Picnic. http://seconds. quechua.com.
Charge Plug, €550Built from Tange steel and with only a single gear, these bicycles are light and require less maintenance, making them perfect for flat urban roads. The Charge Plug has leather handlebar grips and saddle, Sugino Crankset and Tektro brakes. www.cycleways.com
5G iPod Nano, €139-€169Apple's latest iPod Nano features 640X480 pixel H.264 video camera with visual effects and direct upload to You Tube and Facebook, an FM radio with pause, and a pedometer. www.apple.com/ie/
RipCurl H-Bomb Wetsuit, €750Winter is approaching fast and as a surfer, I dread the ice-cream heads and severe bone shivers that the cold Irish winter surfing season brings. RipCurl has introduced the H-Bomb, the world's first heated wetsuit. At the flick of a switch, two rechargeable and fully waterproof lithium-ion batteries power up heating elements on your back to keep you warm for hours. www.greatoutdoors.ie
Olympus Tough 8000, €429.99When it comes to point-and-shoot digital cameras, it's important to invest in one that'll take a few knocks. Olympus's 12-megapixel Tough 8000 is shockproof from a drop of 1.8m, waterproof down to 10m, freezeproof to -10°C and crushproof up to 100kg. www.connscameras.com
