25 best travel gadgets

Sennheiser CX680i

£60, sennheiser.co.uk
You used to have to remember three things when you went on holiday: money, ticket and passport. Now you have to remember to call your bank and pack your phone, assemble a range of chargers and find some spare contact lenses. No wonder you usually realise you’ve left your earphones behind half way to the airport. Sennheiser’s CX680i’s are not only ace, but also retina-searingly yellow, so you’re less likely to forget them.

Sony Bloggie Live HD Camera

£235, slrhut.co.uk

In an age of smartphones the Sony Bloggie Live stays ahead of the competition with 12.8MP snaps and full HD videos that can be streamed live over Wi-Fi. Or if you’re not the sharing type, it’ll stash all your videos and snaps on its 8GB internal storage to be viewed on the 3in touchscreen or transferred using the built-in USB arm.

Ice Bandana

US$17 (£10), amazon.com
If you’re planning on heading into the sweaty heat of an equatorial wonderland on your travels, make sure to pack this Ice Bandana. With its removable ice pack it’ll keep your temperature frosty. And if you're on an extreme holiday, the Ice Bandana is pretty good for sorting a neck injury too.

From £280, gopro.com

The ultimate in extreme headcams. These HD cameras, as used by the BBC, not only shoots impeccable quality 1080p video and 11MP stills but also comes packed in a waterproof housing with mounts for specific sports. Just remember you’ll probably break before this does.
