Travel Gear: Flexible wheelie luggage

A camping party lamp and Ikea’s chainless bike


1. Brunton LightWave amp lantern You can glamp-up your campsite party with Brunton's new lantern, and not just because its LEDs blast out a fairly hefty 700 lumens. It's also got a Bluetooth speaker to stream music from your mobile. And it'll conjure up a light show which is controlled off its own app. With an integrated 20,000mAh battery and a pair of 5V USB ports you might find yourself doubling as a local charging station at a summer festival. $200 from brunton.com

2. Ikea Sladda chainless bike Okay, in answer to your first question: yes, it will be self-assembly. However, its chainlessness is probably what's making the headlines. Instead of a conventional oily chain the Red Dot Award-winning Sladda will have a corrosion-resistant drive belt which its designers claim can last 10,000km. The frame is lightweight aluminium, and you can add accessories like the trailer shown here (not standard). Approx €700, see ikea.com

3. Eagle Creek EC Lync carry-on bags These carry-ons are a range of adaptable bags which can be wheelies or not. The frame that makes it a wheelie is removable and can break down to stash away in a little stuff sac. A selection of sizes (from backpacks up to duffles) all offer the same flexibility, and there's even a weatherproof special edition with a special edition price to match. From around $250, see eaglecreek.com for the range
