The Outdoor Trade Show 2025 was held in Liverpool this year, bringing together brands and organisations from around the industry.
While searching for the best bikepacking kit on display, we came across some interesting lifestyle products that complement cycling and could make your life easier when you're out in the wilds.
Here’s what we found when walking the halls of the Exhibition Centre Liverpool.
Nebo Ultimate Multi-Voltage Power Pack

This power pack from Nebo Tools is perfect for leaving in your car or van, whether you’re camping on race weekend or heading to the trailhead.
The pack is designed primarily as a jump starter, with the Nebo Ultimate using 1,500 amps to power your starter motor and get your engine running again.
However, it’s the other features of the Ultimate that stand out, with a 3-pin 220-240V AC outlet featuring on the topside of the pack, enabling you to use large appliances such as laptops when you're away from home.
Alongside this, there are USB-C and USB-A charging ports that should help keep all your devices charged when you're on a riding weekend.
The party piece for riders is the digital compressor, which is said to be able to inflate tyres to 130psi.
All of this is powered by a 15,000mAh Li-ion battery, which can be recharged in under four hours.
The price of the Ultimate is £249.99, and Nebo claims the weight comes in at 1,150g.

If you’re heading to the trails for a camping holiday, bringing the right provisions is key to having a good time.
The CFX5 looks perfect for those longer trips and has been designed with two cooling zones, enabling you to set individual cooling for your recovery drinks and beers.
The cooler uses vacuum-insulated panels, which are said to provide better cooling while reducing the amount of energy required.
Power comes from AC or DC, or it can be run from Dometic’s range of portable batteries and solar panels.
Cleverly, the cooler has a three-stage dynamic battery protection system that is said to actively monitor inbound power and avoid draining your vehicle's battery.
There’s also a Mobile Cooling smartphone app that enables you to monitor power consumption and will send you notifications should you leave the lid open.
On the right side of the cooler, there’s a weatherproof control module that enables you to set the temperature. There’s also an 18W USB port for charging your devices.
Dometic says the temperature range can be set between +20°C and -22°C.
The CFX5 is available in two sizes: 75L and 94L, priced at £999 / $999 and £1,179 / $1,179.

Thule Tepui Foothill roof tent

Camping can be a chore, especially with bikes. Roof tents take some of the pain away, while enabling you to keep your bikes locked safely in your vehicle below.
This Tepui Foothill roof tent from Thule features a compact design that's said to be able to accommodate two adults comfortably.
By slimming down the proportions, Thule says it leaves room on the roof bars to store bikes, kayaks or other cargo.
The tent folds open, with telescopic poles used to keep the fabric in place.
When folded away, Thule says the tent sits only 24cm above the roof rack, meaning you shouldn’t have too much trouble sneaking under height barriers, depending on the vehicle you have.
The tent comes with a 4cm foam mattress and machine-washable cover, meaning you only have to decide whether to use a sleeping bag or duvet.
There are internal pockets on the walls of the tent to organise bedtime essentials, and there are exterior attachment points for lamps, storage and other gear.
A telescopic ladder is used to get into the tent, which can be stored in the tent case when not in use.
The Tepui Foothill is priced at £1,499.99 and requires roof bars for installation.

Camping and fires go hand in hand, with dancing flames making every evening under the stars a magical experience.
Eco Fuego claims to have reinvented the campfire, using vegetable wax instead of firewood for the flame.
The design is said to produce minimal carbon emissions and deliver a consistent, odourless flame for hours.
Similar to your Live, Laugh, Love candles, Eco Fuego’s design needs a wick for the wax to melt, and for this, it uses cardboard running the length of the candle.
The candle is said to last for eight hours, which should give you a few nights of scary stories while camping.
The El Campo Fire Pit, priced at £124.99, includes the burner, lid, pit drum insert, refill candle and a carry case.
