I love the new Tech Vault. Looks like there is something for everyone. Here's a favorite that I could have used a time or two.
http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Head-Tent-p-17641.html



"
A miniature tent that's just large enough for your head. You’ve ridden to a race weekend (Road America AMA, Isle of Man TT, etc...) and you travel light. As usual, there are no hotel rooms within fifty miles and the campgrounds are full...so you head to ‘Nicaragua’ a piece o’ swampland that an enterprising farmer turns into an impromptu campground every year. Now, you find your friends and become very completely baked or drunk. It ‘s an annual tradition...and so is the cold, wet rain which falls later. Head Tent to the rescue! The Head Tent is an easy-to-set-up (...even while impaired) tensioned catenary pentagonal design and is large enough to completely protect just your head and neck. Stakeless Easton wands allows it to be set up wherever you happen to fall down. The siliconized 1.4 oz ripstip fabric is naturally breathable and luminesces slightly (so less people will trip over you). The single wall Head Tent is compact to carry and makes things much easier when you need to go out and pee in the middle of the night. Be prepared to sleep anywhere. You know you need this. 20”x 18” x 18”, 13 oz. "

It's a must buy for a few friends I know.

Matt you should just walk around with that attached to you like a hood. Then when the mood strikes you can just curl up and sleep. Or when you pass out Yota can just pull it over your head. Muffle the screams.

i suddenly dont like this invention so much any more... i forgot the Yota factor. maybe i will make something to attach to a hoodie with a whistle built in. Then i can get all the comforts of the tent, with a safety feature.

Like the head tent, eh?? For $117.00 it better at least have a spitoon and a mosquito net in it...

While we're on the subject, the Tech Vault is an on-going thing, so if anyone has a good link, or anything constructive and informative that would be helpful to the membership, send a pm to one of us moderators and we'll add it to the mix.


More flags More fun!

The Aerostich catalog has one of these fake listings every issue. About a year ago I got one that had a "stealth milk crate". It had a pic of a milk crate that was opaque...like it was a ghost. Fake price was something like $59.95.

The pic looks fake and I figure the tent is one of the displays you see at Coleman. Funny stuff anyways. They got a sense of humor. I'd love to know if anyone ordered these or the stealth milk crate. Great PR stuff for their website.
