The latest camping trends for bikers
MOTORRAD saw the best products for outdoor addicts at the Outdoor trade fair in Friedrichshafen. In stores by the next camping season 2011 at the latest.

Dentges
The Buff multi-towels.
The extremely practical Buff multi-towels have been very popular with motorcyclists for years. New is the Cyclone, specially developed for bikers, with a clever mix of thin microfiber fabric and Gore Windstopper material, which is supposed to protect the neck from cooling down from the airstream. The Spaniards offer the tube scarf in black and gray or with MotoGP decor for 34.95 euros.
Dentges
The Exped Synmat UL 7 sleeping pad.
As of 2011, Exped has two superlatives in its range: The smallest sleeping pad is called Synmat UL 7 (94.90 euros), weighs around 450 grams, is hardly bigger than a pair of woolen socks when rolled up and, with a thickness of seven centimeters, warms even in freezing temperatures. The ten centimeter thick, bombastic Megamat (lying area 197 x 77 cm, down to –48 degrees, 199 euros) is the largest sleeping mat on the market. More difficult to stow on the motorcycle, but the dream of every comfort camper.
Dentges
That “Laser Ultra 1”-One-man tent.
Record holder: The lightest one-person tent in the world is called “Laser Ultra 1” from the British manufacturer Terra Nova. Interesting for minimalist travelers such as enduro hikers. Poles, outer tent and inner tent weigh less than 500 grams, made possible by a new, wafer-thin, but supposedly durable fabric. Price: estimated to be 850 euros.
Dentges
The Vaude “one night stand”-Sleeping bag mat
Just for tonight? The curious sleeping bag and mat combination “one-night-stand” by Vaude (from 99 euros) will be available from the beginning of 2011. In the deluxe version (around 300 euros) there is the mobile travel cot with leather fastening straps, down, organic cotton and recycled synthetic materials. Politically very correct, pleasantly retro and, according to the manufacturer, cozy and warm up to five degrees.
Dentges
The lantern from UCO.
Tealight-operated tent lighting can be found in the specialist trade amidst bright LED lights. The 110 gram lantern from UCO with a stylish aluminum housing is available in six colors from 12.50 euros. For true romantics.
Dentges
Merino wool vest Vest 400 from Wollpower.
Get in the wool! The Merino wool vest Vest 400 from Wollpower is ingenious for motorcyclists. It is very thin, is supposed to provide excellent insulation when driving on passes and is hardly bigger than a fist when packed. Available in several colors for 79.90 euros.
Dentges
Wool net underwear from Aclima.
The wool net underwear from Aclima (49.90 euros) from Norway is less used to heat up the mood in the bedroom than to create a balanced body climate during activities such as cross-country skiing, mountaineering or sporty, sweaty motorcycling (e.g. off-road).
Dentges
The Solait milk frother from Solarc.
Camping without a cappuccino? Does not work at all! That is why the outdoor freak of the world naturally always has his own milk frother with him. The solar-powered Solait from Solarc for 32 euros can put a head of foam on the black broth at 13,000 rpm even in corners of this earth that are absolutely free of civilization.
polo
The Brisbane multifunctional LED lamp.
Light on! The batteries of the LED multifunctional lamp from Brisbane (24.95 euros) can be charged via solar cells, on-board power or using a hand crank. Standard AA batteries also work – a super variable, sufficiently bright, but quite large lantern.
polo
The Japan-style camping knife from Herbertz.
Also large and therefore an eye-catcher around the campfire: Japan-style camping knife by Herbertz. Tagayasan wood handle (13.7 cm), blade made of 440 A stainless steel (11.4 cm). Price: 19.95 euros.
polo
The 10 liter folding canister.
And the compact folding canister (10 l) with tap for 6.95 euros helps against a huge thirst after the biker party.
