Must Have Gadgets for the Great Outdoors...

At Freedom to Go thought we’d share some of the highly anticipated gadgets and accessories we are excited about.

Wearable technology was huge last year, and this trend continues into 2016 with innovative products that will help you do the things you love; whether it’s to help you stay visible, keep your feet comfortable or to let you enjoy your view for a couple minutes longer. If you can’t get enough of the great outdoors, check out these amazing gadgets to make your time outside even better.

These are our hottest gadget picks:

Therm-A-Rest Slacker Hammock – Perfect for Lazy Sunday Afternoons

A personal favourite - this piece of kit is perfect if you are looking to enjoy a lazy afternoon or a cosy evening gazing at the stars. A hammock that comes in both single and double also gives extra storage pockets on the sides for books and iPads, is seamless for comfort and has anti-tear fabric. All you need now are two trees to hang it from. Lovely.

This German brand is coming to the UK this year. The original producers of innovative and colourful buff and tube scarves have now created a great range of scarves with reflective strips in creative patterns.

CycleFire Bar Plug Lights– Perfect for Cyclists

These are a nifty little tool to make sure you are always visible, and we think they look quite good too. The lights designed by CycleFire slot into the back of your handle to make sure you are noticeable on the road at all times.
