Statik is a brand that specializes in smart accessories that make your daily life and travel easier. Think of everything from universal magnetic cables to compact travel gear and wireless air compressors.
In this article we take a closer look at three interesting products from Statik: the NanoPack™ Travel Kit, the TireHero™ and the Statik® 360 Pro cable. Together they focus on travel, emergency solutions on the road and smarter charging, exactly the kind of tech that will surprisingly often come in handy in a holiday bag or car this summer.
Statik NanoPack™ Travel Kit
The Statik NanoPack™ Travel Kit is a system that allows you to pack clothing and other travel necessities in a compact and structured manner. It consists of a set of special compression bags made of robust ripstop nylon, combined with a USB-C rechargeable vacuum pump. By squeezing the air out of the bags, you can reduce the contents by about 3x, allowing you to fit significantly more in your suitcase or backpack without having to struggle with an overfull bag. The bags have a slightly semi-transparent front, so you can see what’s inside without having to unpack everything.
The NanoPack pump is light (about 26 grams) and portable, has a 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery, and runs approximately 10–20 times on a full charge. Not only can the pump push air out (for compressing bags), it can also reinflate air for things like air mattresses or floaties, making it very useful outside the suitcase. In addition, the pump has a built-in LED lamp with an SOS function, making it a useful emergency tool during camping trips or traveling in remote areas.
Handy for travelling
In practice, the Statik NanoPack™ Travel Kit proves to be a solution for travelers who want to save space. For anyone traveling with a handbag or compact suitcase, compressing garment bags instantly provides additional space for other items, such as shoes or additional gear. During our holiday, my partner and I used five NanoPacks, in which we stored clothes for the rest of the trip. The contents remained well compressed and airtight. The compact pump fits conveniently in the suitcase, charges quickly via USB-C and is easy to use without the need for a socket or a large compressor.
The semi-transparent pockets make it possible to see what clothes are inside, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them properly. A completely more transparent option would have been more convenient, but with a colored string on the zipper or a sticker you can avoid a lot of frustration. The zipper takes some practice as it is quite sturdy.
Pros and cons Statik NanoPack™ Travel Kit
- ✅ Extra space in a compact travel bag or suitcase
- ✅ Sturdy and suitable for intensive use on the road
- ✅ Pump can squeeze air out and blow air in
- ⛔️ Semi-transparent so the content is not clearly visible
Statik® 360 Pro cable
The Statik® 360 Pro is perhaps the most everyday product of these three, but also the product that is most often relevant in practice. This universal cable supports 100W charging and 480 Mbps data transfer, while the magnetic attachments offer compatibility with USB C, Lightning and micro USB.
The interesting thing about this cable is the combination of a magnetic connection and 360 degree rotatability. This makes it easier to use the cable without the connection coming under direct tension, which is especially ideal for frequent connections, in the car or when the socket is in an annoying place next to your hotel bed.
The advantage of this universal cable is that you can use just one cable for different devices and situations, from iPhone to laptop, and from game console to power bank. For Apple users, the combination of magnetic convenience, fast loading times and suitability for CarPlay is particularly important.
360º convenience in many situations
In practice, the magnetic connection of the Statik® 360 Pro is a handy solution for situations where the charging port is difficult to reach. Think of a phone in a car holder, an iPad in a case in a cupboard, or a laptop with a USB-C port on the back or side. Instead of having to twist or fiddle with an inflexible cable, all it takes is a light click and the magnetic tip automatically finds the connection and stays securely in place.
If you accidentally pull too hard on the cable, the cable will detach from the tip, leaving the port and cable unaffected. The 360-degree rotating coupling plays a crucial role in this. The cable simply moves with every movement of your device, without the cord becoming tangled or tense with the port.
The 360 Pro comes with tips that you can theoretically leave permanently in the charging port of your device, so that you can easily connect it to the charging cable at any time of the day. Because nowadays mainly USB-C devices are made, the three included tips (1 USB-C, 1 Lightning and 1 Micro USB) are somewhat sparse.
Advantages and disadvantages of Statik 360 Pro cable
- ✅ Magnetic tips and 360 degree rotating mechanism provide extra ease of use
- ✅ Up to 100W charging and data transfer up to 480 Mbps
- ✅ Suitable for multiple devices thanks to the included tip variants
- ⛔️ Only three tips included: 1 USB-C, 1 Lightning and 1 Micro USB
Statik TireHero™
The Statik TireHero™ is a compact, cordless tire compressor that allows you to quickly inflate cars, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters and other inflatable objects without a power socket. The TireHero works with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery (typically 3600mAh) and can produce up to approximately 150 PSI, sufficient for most car and bicycle tires. Thanks to a built-in display, you can see exactly what pressure you have reached and you can have the pump automatically switch off at the desired PSI, so you cannot pump too hard.
In addition, the TireHero functions as a small power bank. You can also use the built-in battery to charge your phone or tablet when you’re on the road, and the built-in LED lamp helps you find the valve in the dark or as a flashlight at the campsite.
Standard in the car
In practice, inflating is very simple: you connect the hose to the valve, set the desired pressure on the display and let the device do the work. That makes it much less cumbersome than manual pumping, and you don’t have to constantly check yourself when to stop. This makes it useful not only for emergencies, but also for a quick check before departure, so that you can hit the road with peace of mind or prepare your bike for a day trip.
In practice, the TireHero feels like one of those devices that you would rather have with you and never need, than the other way around. During holidays and summer road trips it is a nice security in the car, especially if you suddenly notice that a tire has become a bit softer or when you want to quickly refill on the road without having to go directly to a gas station. It is also very useful for a cycling holiday, because it allows you to easily maintain the tire pressure before you continue riding.
Pros and cons of Statik TireHero™
- ✅ Compact and therefore easy to take with you in the car or during bike rides
- ✅ Quick and practical solution for low tire pressure
- ✅ Power bank function and LED lighting as a nice extra
- ⛔️ Fills approximately 4 car tires from 25 to 35 PSI on one charge, charging takes 2.5 hours
