Crumpler Ultimate Exit bag review

By now, I’ve used a wide array of Crumpler bags – from backpacks to laptop bags and even pouches. But I have to say this Crumpler Ultimate Exit – which looks like a gym bag, more than anything else – is close to my heart. I lugged around thing in my mountain trip to Sagada last December and felt the unbearable lightness …. of travelling :)

Blame it on the fact that this bag is only made of the lightest materials. I have to say though that the Ultimate Exit’s outer appearance is an eyecatcher too. The light blue piping on the dark blue main body is quite attractive. It is definitely something you can carry around with confidence, whether you’re wearing casual jeans or your sturdy gym sweats.

Zipping open the bag reveals a spacious interior. The main compartment, measuring approximately 29 liters, definitely has ample room for sundry stuff like a pair of shoes, towel, clothes and what-have-you. Aside from this, there are three internal stuff pockets for storing little things like gadgets or those which you don’t want to lose in the clutter. One of the pockets even has velcro closure for easy handling.

I can see that a lot of thought has been put by Crumpler peeps into this simple-looking “duffel” bag. The carry handles are padded with EVA foam and were formed to fit the natural contours of the hand and fingers.The outer layer of the bag consists of water-resistant materials.The detachable shoulder strap with buckles and velcro fasteners is a nice touch since it gives you an extra option in carrying the bag. Since it’s light, I had no problem holding the bag by hand.

The Crumpler Ultimate Exit is, overall, a versatile and durable bag that I wouldn’t mind owning and recommending to friends with a budget for this kind of bag.In fact, since this is just a review, I felt a little heartache when it was time to return the bag since it’s the kind which grows on you ;)

Sold for P3,750 at the following Crumpler Stores: Trinoma, Bonifacio High Street, SM Megamall, Robinsons Manila & Robinsons Magnolia

Aiaiai Tracks headphone review

Headphones are probably one of the most in-demand items right now, and more so that the holiday season is fast approaching. I can think of one person to give the device to: my teenage boy who always has to have something on his ear for to listen to music on his phone, watching Youtube, and even while biking.

The past year has made me familiar with headphones as I road-tested one brand to another. Good thing there’s competition. At this rate, we can only expect better products and features.

The Aiaiai Tracks headphone is the latest to fall on my lap.I hardly can spell or pronounce this brand which is headquartered in Denmark but they have gained awards and positive reviews about their products. Here is the package when it arrived. First impression: thin and sleek!

The pack already includes three sets of interchangeable colored sliders and a carrying pouch. The kit needed to be assembled so I had the resident geek (read: hubby) do the honors. You can see that the product really focuses on mobility because both the stainless steel headband and 2mm cables were very lightweight. Once worn, it felt like it wasn’t on my head at all (which was strange).

The catalog says Aiaiai was made for Apple products (iPod, iPhone, iPad) but some browsing led me to the fact that they’re compatible with Blackberry and possibly others. This means that you will not only be able to listen to music but take calls as well if you’re using a smartphone device.

Now for the road test: I was impressed that the sounds coming from the headset really kicked some punch, especially when it came to the bass and trebles.’ twas surprising that something so small and thin can rock it through low and high volume. I would definitely give this waif-like headphone the thumbs up!

The Aiaiai Tracks headphone sells for P3,250 at the following retailers:

Astrovision
Digital Walker
PC Hub
Beyond the Box
Egghead
Technoholics
Digital Hub
Futureworld
