Additional Information/Resources:

For all your scooping, scraping, digging, chiseling and prying needs. High-quality stainless steel means it and won’t bend easily or rust. Comes with rugged carrying pouch. Blade is 2.25" wide. 9.25" unfolded, 5.75" folded. 6 oz.

Small enough to take on all your road trips, these pack into a built-in self-storing pocket about the size of your hand. Overall, it’s half the size of the next smallest full-coverage cover because it’s made from a thinner, lighter fabric. The strong opaque 2 oz siliconized ripstop nylon is plenty tough and keeps water and dust off your bike... it’s widely used in parachutes, sailboat spinnakers, kites and skysails.

The integrated elastic cinch cord tightly snugs all covers close to your bike so it won’t blow off during a breeze, and additional grommets allow for further binding or tying down. The Aerostich label is purposefully placed at the front bottom center, right on the hem, so it’s easy to find the front of the cover.

For improving overnight security at the seediest, darkest motel parking lot, the self-storing pocket on the hem of the cover also doubles as a portable battery powered motion-detecting alarm holder, to scare the pants off of whoever wants to take a peak at what’s below.

Large size covers loaded GS1100’s, Gold Wings and other dreadnought sized machines. Medium fits all sportbikes, standards, dual sports, and sport touring bikes with smaller windshields. Small fits scooters. Seat Saver model fits all bikes, covering vital areas of instrument pod, handlebars, gas tank and seat. Black.

Made from 2oz/sq yd silicone coated Cordura® 33d ripstop nylon.

A simple concept that provides comfort without adding bulk. These soft, flannel-like bags accommodate your spare clothing to create a comfortable pillow to nod off on. Of course if your campmates start doing rev-outs at 3AM this won’t help much. Maybe you can smack someone with it. The Traveler has an anti-microbial treatment.

A rugged Cordura case to store a Glock Spade (#2407). Top secures with hook and loop, with pull-tabs for easy open access when extricating the Spade. Neat, clean storage for a serious dirt moving tool. 12”×7”×2”

Drill sergeants and grunts alike call the familiar field shovel the “E-tool,” short for “entrenching tool.” But compared to the Glock spade, most of these are stone age. Glock, the famous maker of sophisticated weapons, combined lightweight alloys and advanced resins to produce a tool of sheer genius that is so superior you might end up seeking out rough camping areas just to have the pleasure of using it. (…Naah) Its 180° foldable, extendable handle contains a sawblade and the shovel blade’s angle is adjustable. The saw extension hidden inside the handle cuts wood fast. In worldwide military use. 25"×6"×2" extended, 10"×6"×2" folded. 2 lbs.

This single burner will boil a quart of water in about 7 minutes, with a full fuel tank providing up to 50 minutes of flame. 19 oz. 3.9"×5.1".

The Champ. Says it all, doesn’t it? This knife is the classic Swiss got-it-all-right-here tool.

Thirty four tools in all, contained in a classic pocket knife profile that will almost always have what is needed to save the day. With one of these and a multi-plier you can rule the planet. A fine, comprehensive pocket toolbox.

What’s the point of a sleeping pad if it won’t stay under you? These pads feature Staytek™, a specially-woven fabric that increases friction preventing you and your sleeping bag from sliding onto the ground. The underside of the pad is covered with a durable nylon that is resistant to moisture, dirt, and punctures. A noble product that’s worth its weight in gold when camping.
