Tech Tuesday: Outdoor tech gadgets
Just in time for the last days of summer, Jessica Naziri with Techsesh.co has gathered a handful of her favorite outdoors game-changing gadgets.
If you plan on enjoying the time outdoors-- climbing that mountain, and hiking the trail, you don't want to leave without the Tivic ClearUP. It's a small handheld device to help with sinus pain and pressure from allergies, using gentle microcurrent waveforms (AKA vibrations). Imagine a trip outdoors where you can breathe better, sleep better, without feeling drowsy, experiencing sinus pressure, headaches, congestion, etc. No pills. No spray. No mess.
The way it works
Gentle microcurrents activate the body's natural response to fight sinus inflammation. The device locates areas of skin where gentle waveforms can pass most easily to nerves. Because ClearUP is small, reusable, and rechargeable you can take it with you on the go. The device is clinically proven for fast relief in 10 mins without side effects of medications like drowsiness, rapid heartbeat or upset stomach; 3 out of 4 users achieved relief with a single treatment.

2) evaSMART Personal Air Cooler
High temperatures are in full force and the time has come to break out your water floaties and air conditioners. Here's the thing, portable air conditioners are typically short-lived, barely effective machines that do little to stave off the worst of the summer heat. Enter the evaSMART Personal Air Cooler. This little device is like carrying around a walk-in freezer with you. It chills, purifies & humidifies.
You can control your cooling experience with a mobile app or voice assistant from any room. Connect it to your laptop, power bans or outlets with just a USB cable to keep it charged and running all day long

3) OUTIN Nano Portable Espresso Machine
It doesn't matter where you go this summer- to the moon or to the beach, the OUTIN Nano Portable Espresso Machine will keep you caffeinated anywhere.
I was drawn to the Outin because, unlike a vast majority of available models, it handles both coffee pods (specifically, of the Nespresso variety) and ground espresso — you simply have to swap out the pod holder for small container about half the size of a film canister that holds the ground coffee.
Price: $139.99

It also has up to 12 hours of playtime, so even after your guests go home you can take the party inside. The speakers are also IPX7 waterproof rated, making it perfect for use poolside and outdoors.
