Cyrus Audio makes seriously good home audio components for the audiophile. Now they are making travel technology for portable audio enthusiasts. I have owned their CD players, DACs and audio amplifiers for over nearly 30 years, so it's an understatement when I say that I am a fan. They are a small firm based in England with a highly enthusiastic and dedicated team of boffins ...

![Coldsmoke Unnuk Tech Zip-up Hoodie [REVIEW]](http://www.nomadz.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/coldsmoke-unnuk-hoodie.jpg)
Following on from our review of the Coldsmoke Tavani Colorblock Jacket, we're now going to take a look at the Coldsmoke Unnuk Tech Zip-up Hoodie which we purchased earlier last year. The Unnuk has the same attention to detail as the Tavani and has similar styling, such as the exposed seams. It has weatherproofed zippers, both front and back. The hood isn't as large as the ...

Coldsmoke is a vendor of stylish, extreme weather gear, travel packs and travel gadgets. We purchased the men's Tavani Colorblock Jacket last year and put it through it's paces (there's a women's version, too). Overall the jacket is a delight to use. It's extremely lightweight, folds up into a very small zippered pouch (that comes with it) and has clearly paid attention ...

Ultraportable Handpump Espresso Machine – Wacaco Minipresso
This is a travel gadget made after my own heart - a portable, hand-pump mini espresso machine that you can take anywhere to enjoy freshly made espresso! The technology behind it is simple but genius. The whole unit weighs less than a pound and can be held in one hand. You open the top to put in your coffee, which can be ground beans or a coffee capsule (it supports Caffitaly ...
UltraPortable Kole Thermos Flask – 4 shots of Espresso or Whiskey a Go Go
After all our posts about coffee recently, it seems appropriate to discuss how you might carry it around with you. The Kole thermos flask looks like a large cigar holder but holds your favourite beverage, instead, keeping it hot or cold until you need to consume it. I wouldn't use the Kole thermos flask for soup, though. Can't imagine how you'd clean out that mess with such ...

Deezer – FLAC Lossless streaming music on demand [REVIEW]
![Deezer – FLAC Lossless streaming music on demand [REVIEW]](http://www.nomadz.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/deezer.png)
I admit it. I am snob when it comes to music quality. If I'm at someone else's house, their music system can sound just fine to me but, at home, no, only the best will do. I'm like the princess and pea. Something just isn't quite right. High fidelity is a very personal and subjective experience. Each time you upgrade an audio component, you train your ears to hear just a ...
Best Suncreams for your Face SPF50+
We asked around to compile of list of our friends' favourite sunscreens for the face. Most important, they shouldn't feel greasy, must last long without requiring frequent application, and smell nice (or be unscented). Shiseido Anessa Aquabooster 2016 Version Easy to slip in a purse or pocket (it's a flat container), this is one of the most trusted and most popular. It does ...
