Coffee and root cooking

What's the item: a coffee and cooking set by Shoresh, packaged in a package similar to Shoresh's sandal bag. In the kit:
- Opening gas head, with spider legs and threaded connection
- 4 cups of stainless steel coffee - double wall with a volume of 100 ml
- pot / finjan + quality pan with a volume of 800 ml
- 3 plastic utensils with a screw lid with a total volume of 520 Ml for sugar, coffee, tea, sugar / spices
- butane gas tank, threaded connection, weighing 230 grams
- water bottle / bottle of 1 liter

What in the test:Root's coffee set is very functional, as it has everything you need - from short coffee during a break to long cooking. The stove is high quality and stable with legs that open and are easy to fold, and the coffee / sugar containers also connect to each other so that it is very convenient to pull them out and put them back in the case. Beyond that the kit comes with a small but sufficient frying pan for cooking space, as well as the receptacles for coffee (not finjan as is commonly thought but bakerage) which are made of quality material and carrying handles against heat. The price (almost NIS 400) is a bit expensive, but there is value for the fee, and especially convenience in carrying and quick retrieval from the bag.

Root sandals for men, Gobi model

What's the item: Root hiking sandals by Gobi for men.

What's in the test: Gobi Comfort sandals are actually the well-known root sandals but are upgraded several times over. First, let’s start with their soft and strong sole, which even before you lock them on you see the massive rubber that provides comfort and a soft footrest, made of an antibacterial component. In addition, the sole is equipped with shock absorbers that soften the steps on rocks and hard surfaces. The straps of the sandal are strong and are velcro and made of microfiber that is waterproof and dries quickly. The walk is comfortable and the foot is well maintained inside, even in water. However, the price is quite expensive, even more than Chaco's.

Transparent sunscreen for SACARA trips

What's the item: SACARA transparent sunscreen for trips

What's in the test: The Biofor cosmetics company launches a sun protection series that includes: 50SPF face sunscreen and 50SPF transparent sunscreen spray in two sizes: 200 ml and 90 ml mini size suitable for travel, trips, vacations And goes inside the makeup / bath bag. Face sunscreen - hypoallergenic and paraben-free, adapted to delicate skin enriched with vitamin E. Skara's book works according to the mechanism of the other sunscreens, with its mouth rotating to open and close. The spray splashes on the body, pleasant to the touch but should of course be applied. Total nothing new under the sun (scorching) but the price is good, especially in the size of 200 ml.

Supplier: Skara chain
Price: sunscreen - NIS 24.90, transparent spray 90 ml - NIS 14.90, transparent spray 200 ml - NIS 24.90

Entertainment / Speaker 99 OSHI

What's the item: Entertainment 99 OSHI - portable speaker, which includes a wireless microphone, built-in Bluetooth connection (Bluetooth version 4.2), built-in internal battery MAH1200. Wireless working time - two hours. Charging time - 2.5 hours. Entertainment includes FM radio, AUX audio input, USB and TF memory card input. Height 43 cm, width 20 cm.

What to check: A speaker is an item that can definitely upgrade your camping when you are alone, but may definitely interfere when you are not. If so, when used properly, without noise pollution harming others, a speaker at a campsite or beach getaway is a fun thing to do. The entertainment of the 99 OSHI is powerful in terms of volume and can be connected to a speaker that comes with it for the benefit of karaoke. Plus, the Bluetooth connection is great, so you can hear songs from your mobile. In addition, the audio of the radio is certainly reasonable but not very sharp. Its disadvantage is its size (almost half a meter) which takes up space in the car, and perhaps also the lights that shine in different colors and can not be neutralized if desired. But the price (99 shekels) is a bomb.

Ultra hipster drinking belt for bicycle trips

What's the item: Root drinking belt - Hipster Ultra 5 liters.

What's in the test: Cyclists are already familiar with the "Hipster" waist belt, but this is an improved version in which the bag belt comes in a total volume of 5 liters, of which a drinking system with a volume of 1.5 liters and compartments are accessible for quick retrieval. The belt, which is made of durable nylon fabric, has a large central compartment, including a separate and insulated compartment for the drinking system. The back system is comfortable and the belt wears well around the waist, but it is also massive and not sure everyone can get used to it. The Ultra Hipster is equipped with a magnetic clip for a comfortable position of the drinking valve. The bag cover includes a dynamic fastening system that allows the bag to be attached to the back, while moving, even when the water level drops in the drinking system. Total product for fans of the genre, but not mast.
