The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Don’t let the name fool you. We have nothing bad to say about this nifty little piece of gear. The BAD Wrap is a simple solution to keep all your gadgets and gear safe from the rigors of everyday commuting, long-distance travel, and everywhere in between. Piqued your interest yet? Here’s how it works: It’s kind of like wrapping your food up in aluminum foil. However, this thing is much more sophisticated.

Engineered by the team at BAD Equipment, the BAD Wrap is a posable wrap that form-fits around your precious gear. From tablets to cameras to smartphones to laptops to headphones, the BAD Wrap is padded, waterproof, and ultra-protective. It comes in three sizes (10×10”, 14×14”, and 20.5×20.5”) so they have you covered for whatever you need to protect, and the design of this wrap is so easy and pleasant to use. All you do is lay your gear on the BAD Wrap, and then fold the corners over until it’s safe and secure. You’re ready to rock in less 15 seconds. Then you can toss your gear into a backpack, satchel, duffel, or whatever else you use, and you can be confident that your precious items are safe.

Like we mentioned before, it’s oh-so simple, but so damn useful. Anytime we hop on a boat, step onto the trail, board a plane, or simply just hit the beach for the day, the BAD Wrap is what we lean on to keep the hazards from the real world from damaging our gear. You can back this project on Kickstarter for up to 28% off of the MSRP. This’ll be your go-to security blanket for all your future adventures.—Jon Perino, senior editor
