Here is one that we hadn’t heard of but think it could become big in 2013 – seatrekking, which has been described as a combination of swimming, snorkeling, free diving and backpacking. And yes, there are already specialty products for this fledging sport.
German-based ÁETEM is providing purpose built-gear. The company got its start as small groups of seatrekkers started to explore coastlines about seven years ago.
So what is needed for seatrekking exactly? Well, the company offers gear that can be used on land and water, where the packs can be worn on the back on land or tethered in the water. These waterproof bags even feature a pressure system to inflate when on calm water. There is even the Seashell hard-shelled carbon pack that can double as a body board. Who says trekking needs to stay on land?
