You no longer have to be a billionaire to fly like Iron Man. Although at around half a million dollars the luxury still doesn’t come cheap. The Jet Suit allows you to fly up to 30 mph, and you orient yourself with arm-mounted thrusters just like Iron Man. The suit is available at Selfridges in London, but if you don’t feel like handing over half a million dollars just to feel what it’s like to be Iron Man, the store also offers a VR demonstration for you to take to the skies without ever leaving the ground.

TetonX Adventure Trailer
You no longer need a big truck or powerful 4x4 to get your gear where it needs to be. Traditional trailers might be heavy and require tons of horsepower pull them up hills and down trails, but for the enthusiast who doesn’t happen to own an F350, the TetonX might be the perfect solution. With models starting around the ultralight 700 pound range, you could be hauling gear in a Prius. The secret is a savvy utilization of lightweight composite materials. And if you do happen to have some horsepower to spare, some of the heavier models will open you up to more storage capacity, and other custom features like a kitchenette, or roof mounting racks.
