<p>The <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/3332936375_cda106797b.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Traveler</a> is half the size of the SteriPEN <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3333784802_fed979e2b2.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Classic</a> with the same great attributes.  The convenient pocket sized gadget purifies water by way of an ultraviolet light.  The UV kills 99.9 percent of protozoa while simultaneously turning you into a super hero upon consumption of the radioactive H2O*. </p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/3333772548_db89c3705e.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">The SteriPen</a> has been proven to protect against common microbes such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia as well as pathogens that cause Hepatitis and Legionnaires disease.  This is the perfect <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3358/3333772846_14480e5768.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">travel companion</a> to “at risk” water countries or long camping trips. </p>
<p>Also look for the SteriPen <a title="$135.00" rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3586/3333772860_aed0bf742e.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Adventurer with the Solar Charging Case</a>.  This item is not recommended for individuals seeking to contract Cholera, Botulism, or sound travel habits.</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: xx-small;">*The UV light doesn&#8217;t actually alter the water aside from protecting you against various microbes, pathogens and germs, i.e. you will not gain super powers.</span></em></p>
<p><span id="more-1404"></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">SPEC&#8217;S</span></strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>SteriPEN Traveler also features a soft-touch coating, offering a comfortable texture in your hand and scratch resistance in harsh environments</li>
<li>Requires no pumping, chemicals, test strips, extended time-keeping or filters; leaves no aftertaste, will not clog and does not require lubrication</li>
<li>Innovative SteriPEN system uses UV light rays instead of chemicals to purify water for drinking</li>
<li>Ultraviolet (UV-C) light rays safely sterilize clear water by destroying 99.99% of protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), bacteria and even viruses</li>
<li>SteriPEN protects you from risks that cause botulism, cholera, dysentery and typhoid, just to name a few</li>
<li>SteriPEN Traveler is simple to use: Just press a button and gently agitate the water with a quick stir</li>
<li>Purifies 16 fl. oz. of water (cold or warm) in less than a minute, or 32 fl. oz. in a minute and a half</li>
<li>Small size fits most containers—use it in cups, mugs, water bottles and canteens; carries easily in a shirt pocket</li>
<li>SteriPEN Traveler turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; light source can be used up to 5,000 times!</li>
<li>Watertight seals keep water away from the electronics; rubberized coating ensures secure handling in wet conditions</li>
<li>Low-power indicator lets you know when batteries need replacing; twist-off cap permits easy battery access</li>
<li>Long used by municipal water districts and bottling companies, low-level UV-C light treats water safely, and unit&#8217;s light will not damage eyes or skin</li>
<li>SteriPEN Traveler includes two nonrechargeable lithium CR123A batteries</li>
<li>Use only on clear water, as cloudy, sediment-laden water hinders effectiveness</li>
<li>SteriPEN Traveler features convenient battery access, water bottle and military canteen compatibility and an <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3539/3332938749_d9e049d911.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">embroidered nylon canvas carrying case</a></li>
</ul>
<p>SteriPEN water purifiers meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for microbiological water purifiers and have been independently tested by the Oregon Health Sciences University and the universities of Arizona and Maine. For complete test results visit www.steripen.com.</p>

<p>The Phoenix-Fly Vampire 2 Wingsuit builds on the highly successful Vampire 1 and has the following new features:<br />
<blockquote>
<p><strong>• New shoulder inlet technology that offers faster inflation and better pressurization of the arm wings.<br />• Larger wider leg wing to provide stable flight with more speed and more lift.<br />• Improved back deflector design for a cleaner airflow over the back of the suit. <br />• Refined arm wing design, optimized rib layout and cleaner wing surface for better performance. <br />• Improved leg sleeve tailoring improves the fit and comfort. </strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Vampire 2 Wingsuit retains the following proven features from the V-1:<br />
<blockquote>
<p><strong>• A revolutionary CAD-designed 3D arm wing.<br />• Semi-rigid plastic ribs inside the arm and leg wings.<br />• Integrated arm wing sleeve design.<br />• Rigid wingtip grippers.<br />• Adjustable arm tension swoop cords.<br />• Low-drag materials. <br />• Loop wing release handles with cover flap.<br />• Deep cut booties made from automotive grade leather.<br />• Leg Pilot Chute Pouch.<br />• Foam lining on arm sleeves and knee area.<br />• Sturdy 1.9 Oz Balloon ZP construction, reinforced in the critical areas. </strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>*Due to the large wing surface area the Vampire is not suitable for low experience pilots. We recommend a MINIMUM of 50 Wingsuit jumps before trying the Vampire.<br />Lead times: Our current lead time for the Vampire 2 is 8-10 weeks. </em></p>
