The summer gadget review

It's official: the sun is out and summer is on its way! In our gadget-obsessed modern world, how better to prepare for the long light evenings and beach holidays than a round-up of the best summer gadgets on the market, to help you celebrate the best season of the year in style, and most importantly, conveniently!

Aqua shoes

We all like to pretend we're not aware of those jellyfish, sharp stones and crabs lurking beneath the surface of the sea, but there's a better way to avoid pain. Aqua shoes are sturdy, hard wearing and not bad looking either! Toggle fastenings allow you to fit them to your own feet avoiding sliding and hard we-grip soles let you cling on to rocks limpet-like. Also perfect for water sport enthusiasts, these shoes can be worn in or out of the water and protect your feet from burning sand, naughty little sea creatures and sharp rocks.

Overboard 100% waterproof phone bag

This is one of those brilliant inventions that I never thought would happen – now you can take your phone swimming with you! Since you can actually use your iphone while it is in the bag, this opens up to a range of possibilities: underwater photos, underwater sound recordings, underwater phone-calls(? - let me know if you succeed!) Guaranteed for depths of up to 19 feet, it is quite possible to go scuba diving, snorkeling and white water rafting with your phone – think of the photos!



Skin care UV intensity detector

Here's another one that's worth investing in for your health and comfort – a small device that tells you how intense the sun's UV rays are. This is something that can be very hard to judge by feeling alone, so it's worth testing your instincts to make sure you've applied enough sun cream – nothing is worse than painful sunburn spoiling your holiday and this could be damaging to your skin in the long term too. At the bargain price of £4.99, it's worth the investment.
