Evaporative Cooling Cap

This is the cap that uses evaporation to keep your head up to 20º F cooler than outside air temperature. Made by a supplier of cooling apparel to professional cycling teams, Olympic athletes, and the military, the hat is charged by submerging in cool water for one to two minutes, then wringing out the excess. The cap’s patented fabric inner liner retains the cool water where it vaporizes over 5-10 hours, the evaporation process naturally drawing heat away from your head, keeping you cool. 100% cotton with 53% polymer/47% cellulose liner. One size fits most; adjustable hook-and-loop back.” w/ photos

5-Person Pedal Surrey

This is the environmentally friendly vehicle that leisurely transports three adults and two small children. Originally developed over 40 years ago, today these pedal vehicles represent a popular form of transportation in resort towns from the Adriatic to the Pacific coasts. Perfect for touring through neighborhoods or along the boardwalk, the stable, quad-wheel pedal car has two sets of pedals for multi-person cruising power. Rack-and-pinion steering ensures smooth and easy turns, while disc brakes provide gentle, confident stops. The basket seat securely holds two smaller children who can enjoy the distinction of riding up front, while the padded benches comfortably seat adults and older children. A yellow fabric canopy shades the riders or shields against rain. The frame is reinforced high-quality tubular steel for exceptional strength and lasting durability.” w/ photo

120mph Electric Car

This is the electric car that can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds to a top speed of 120 mph in one gear with no shifting thanks to its two electric motors — smaller versions of the same kind found in diesel-electric locomotives — that combine to produce over 1,000 lbf ft. of torque. No wider than most motorcycles at 39″, it can fit in a 6′ half-lane with more clearance than a semi-truck in a full 12′ freeway lane, enabling you to negotiate traffic congestion where lane splitting is permitted. Its small size eliminates the need for parallel parking as it can park perpendicular to a curb without the need for a full space. The driver and passenger sit in tandem front and back seats that use four-point pilot seat belts with inertia reels, similar to harnesses found in race cars, yet are easy to use.” w/ photo

Inflatable Dog Shower

This is the only dog shower that inflates in five minutes for easy set up and folds to only 24″ x 14″ for unobtrusive storage. The unit has a handheld showerhead that emits water at 7 different levels from a gentle, soothing mist to a vigorous stream that penetrates even the thickest coats to clean pet hair and remove dead skin cells. The showerhead has a 52″-long hose that allows you to easily wash a dog’s paws, underbody, and other hard-to-reach areas and 58 sprayers along the inside of the shower provide additional cleaning. The shower’s 21″-high walls help keep water inside the shower (and off of you) yet allow access to the dog, a side panel unzips to provide easy access to the pet, and an integrated metal D-ring accommodates a leash for gently restraining the canine. The unit connects to a garden hose and has a drain that channels used water out of the shower. The shower is made from puncture resistant PVC and nylon and its 13′ cu. interior accommodates dogs up to 100 lbs.” w/ photos

The organizer simply clamps to any golf cart’s roof supports and has a 600-denier polyester pouch that holds a cell phone, tees, or sunglasses, a clip that holds gloves, and an acrylic mount that accommodates a golf GPS. The unit eliminates the need for golfers to carry bulky items that may hinder a swing. The accessory holders can be placed anywhere along the organizer’s 19″-long frame for customizable set up. Made from durable aluminum, the organizer resists damage from rain or UV rays and stores unobtrusively in a golf bag.” w/ photo

Nederlander Bicycle

This is the recumbent bicycle born from the rich cycling tradition of the Netherlands, renowned for its country-wide network of cycling paths that spans from Maastricht to Friesland. Hand made in Dronten in the Flevoland province of the Netherlands from customized anodized aluminum parts, it is solidly constructed and precisely balanced, having endured adventurous ascents up to Switzerland’s famous Simplon Pass. Its enclosed drive train protects against the elements, allowing the 14-speed Rohloff hub gear system to provide effortless shifting for easy hill climbing or smooth coasting without the fouling of debris and grime. The breathable mesh-back adjustable seat can be raised to put you in a more upright riding position. The hydraulic rear shock provides a smooth ride for the bicycle’s 20″ wheels and rubber tires, while its front and rear disc brakes provide responsive braking. The underseat steering assembly enables you to be more centered and balanced while riding, and when you stop, you can place both feet firmly on the ground.” w/ photo

Solar Pool Heating Rings

These are the floating rings that harness the power of sunlight to raise the temperature of an average-sized pool by 3º – 4º F per week. They require less effort to maneuver and store than traditional tarp covers, and eliminate the need for energy-consuming electrical heaters when covering just 70% of the pool’s surface. Each ring acts as a partial barrier, helping to slow evaporation of water and chemicals, in addition to reducing heat loss at night. Built with an integrated spring, each ring twists and folds for storage.” w/ photo

With every ounce poured, a bottle of your favorite vintage tastes that much sweeter as it makes its way around the table in decadent design. Bold and interactive, this set of four brings good taste (and great fun) to the table.” w/ photos

The Best Heated Cat Bed

This heated cat bed earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute after a cat behaviorist concluded that pets preferred it to all other models. Over a three-month period the cat behaviorist observed that the felines returned repeatedly to The Best model because of its cozy, semi-enclosed design and superior heater. Lesser models were barely warm to the touch and did not provide any privacy. The Best model’s dual internal thermostats keep the bed temperature 12º F to 15º F above the ambient temperature and the bed is lined with 1″ of soft foam and has a plush fleece surface. The Best model’s heating element removes easily from a zippered pocket and the rest of the unit is machine washable, unlike lesser models that had to be washed by hand. For cats weighing up to 20 lbs.” w/ photos
