Finally, a way for your truck to defend itself from other.. trucks?

One of the highlights of any vacation involving air travel is the time spent crammed into an airline seat reading the in-flight magazine. Once finished with flowery narratives of perfect vacations and endless advertisements for the world’s best steakhouse, you might find the Sky Mall catalog – a catalog that contains excerpts from other catalogs (many of which you’ve never heard of) – which in turn sell some of the most curious gadgets you’ve ever seen.

Here is a selection of the most interesting gadgets from Sky Mall (inspired by my own recent vacation).

Truck Antlers – Is it a fashion statement? A way to scare off potential road-kill? Or a way to battle other trucks over the affection of a hot Corvette?

Haan Steam Station – This portable steam generator claims to remove wrinkles, eliminate odors and kill 99.9% of germs, bacteria and dust mites. It should work well, unless you host a breed of dust mites that can survive 212 degree steam.

Bushnell Personal GPS Locator – Mark up to three locations and this ultra-portable GPS will show you the way back. Perfect for finding your car in large parking lots. Better than breadcrumbs if you’re heading out hiking in the woods.

Mini-studio in a box – Perfect for photographing items before auctioning them on EBay, or creating your own claymation studio.

Digital camera swim mask – No need to carry an underwater camera while snorkeling with this unique swim mask with a 5 megapixel built-in camera.
