AN all-action camera, a travel backpack, Maui Jim sunglasses and walking boots - these are the hottest new travel accessories reviewed.

1 JVC GC-XA1 Action CameraPrice: $429

Stockists: see jvc.com.au

IT'S waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof, which makes this action camera great for capturing still and video images of your extreme sports activities. You can strap it to your ski or bike helmet and live stream your runs, via the Wi-Fi USTREAM function.

It is light and comes with two mounting device options. This is a congested area of the technology market and one of the biggest things the JVC Action Camera has in its favour is its ease of use. Attach it and go - it's as easy as that.

2 Lowepro Rover Pro 35l AW

Price: $349

Stockists: maxwell.com.au

THIS is the camera bag for anyone intending to take on some serious hiking. The bag comes in 35 and 45-litre models. There's plenty of room for cameras, lenses and all your other camping requirements such as a change of clothes and some food.

There's even a space for the water pouch to keep you hydrated. It comes with a nifty rain cover to keep everything dry, plus a spot for your tripods and laptop. The bag itself weighs 2.3kg so it is not going to slow you down too much.

3 Montgomery Street Backpack

Price: $99

Stockists: www.maxwell.com.au

THIS is the little bag that attracts a lot of comments. And all good. It is sturdy, yet compact and lightweight. Surprisingly, it is big enough to fit a DSLR camera, additional lens and a 13-inch computer. I took it to London and Paris recently and it is perfect for slotting under your airline seat or in an overhead locker. It looks like a far more expensive brand.

THESE glasses are saltwater safe and their slightly oversized design makes them perfect for protection against the harsh sun.

COMFORT, comfort and more comfort. That's what these shoes are about. They may look like ballet slippers, but they handle like hiking boots. They are made of a durable leather and petite enough to be easily packed in your suitcase.
