TrailGuard
The TrailGuard lamp is designed to light up the night with a compact and portable lantern, powered by the sun and designed to create a peaceful ambiance to share the moment. Crafted from ultralight materials and made to use with mosquito-repelling coils, the TrailGuard provides backpackers with peace of mind during rest stops. The TrailGuard repellent lamp uses natural incense coils, drawing upon an age-old Japanese tradition as a safer alternative to chemical repellents which not only damage clothing but also lose effectiveness during prolonged hikes. TrailGuards titanium stamped base makes it an ultralight solution to keeping coils from breaking. Featuring a plastic safety barrier with vents, the lantern is shielded from heat while allowing for easy twisting of silicone lantern to expand. Securing the lantern in its closed position is effortless with the lightweight and adjustable Velcro strap. Powered by solar energy, it offers backpackers peace of mind on extended hikes, featuring loops on the lid for convenient attachment to their packs while on the go. With campfires prohibited due to fire bans, many hikers long for the natural smoke that repels bugs; TrailGuard connects users to this dearly missed method of mosquito repelling using light and emitting smoke from the vents on the bottom.
