Hövding
The perfect gift for cycling enthusiasts this Christmas.

Hövding is a unique airbag for cyclists designed specifically for an urban environment. Proven to be eight times safer than a traditional bike helmet, the Hövding is able to protect not only a larger part of a cyclist’s head, but also the back of the neck.
Hövding is worn around the neck just like a scarf or a collar and – once on the bike and ready to go – activated by the simple clip of a button.
The revolutionary technology behind Hövding features hundreds of in-built sensors that enable it to read a cyclist’s body movements at 200 times per second. In the event of an accident, due to a complex algorithm with 2,000 rules, it is able to recognise the changes in a cyclist’s body movement patterns. Once triggered, the patented airbag technology inflates in a tenth of a second, providing full protection before impact.
During a study conducted in October 2016, Stanford University looked at the effectiveness of various head protection products. In the study, Hövding was compared directly to a traditional foam helmet in a simulation of the most common cycling accident – a single fall. The results showed Hövding to provide eight times better protection against a risk of concussion, and was found to be ‘near perfect’ in terms of protecting both the head and neck in an event of an accident.
To date, more than 60,000 Hövding airbags have been sold around the world. The company is aware of over 1,000 cases where the Hövding has protected a cyclist in an accident, potentially saving the cyclist’s life.
The Hövding is available to purchase online or through a number of retailers all around the world. Visit www.hovding.com for further information.
Ride safe. Feel free.
NEXTBASE LAUNCHES FIRST DASH CAM CAPABLE OF FILMING IN TRUE 4K HD
• Groundbreaking Nextbase 612GW is the first Dash Cam in the world to film in True (30fps) Ultra HD (4K).
• Dash Cam captures the absolute best possible footage quality, ensuring motorists are fully protected in the event of an incident.
• Model tops Nextbase’s award-winning range and boasts in-built Wi-Fi that pairs with the updated Nextbase Cam Viewer App.
Nextbase, the UK’s leading and multi award-winning Dash Cam manufacturer, has broken new ground with the launch of its new top-of-the-range model.
The Nextbase 612GW is the world’s first Dash Cam to capture footage in True (30fps) Ultra HD (4K), boasting the best image quality across the market.
Following the launch earlier this year of the 512GW, which films in impressive 1440p HD, Nextbase has used its unrivalled knowledge of the UK Dash Cam sector to further improve the ability of motorists to record what happens on the roads. The 612GW, which films in four times the resolution of Full 1080p HD, addresses UK motorists’ key requirement in a Dash Cam; capturing exceptional quality of video footage.
With insurance premiums rising due to an increase in insurance premium tax, and with fraudulent insurance claims more and more prevalent, motorists are putting increased emphasis on the importance of Dash Cams to be their independent witness in the event of an incident. 41 of the UK’s major insurers now accept in-car camera footage as part of an insurance claim, provided the footage is of sufficient quality to prove liability.
Equipped with the very latest Sony EXMOR R sensor the camera provides unbeatable image quality, especially at night. As well as its industry-leading picture resolution, the 612GW features an innovative polarizing filter to reduce windscreen glare, whilst boasting a 150° ultra-wide viewing angle to capture the entire road ahead.
The 612GW’s cutting-edge features complement the great quality elements that can be expected from the Nextbase Dash Cam range, including a Click & Go Powered Magnetic mount for easy installation.
What’s more, in-built GPS records location and speed data and Wi-Fi allows motorists to instantly upload footage to their social media channels, or share it with an insurer or even the police via the Nextbase app if necessary. The app allows for even easier sharing, including full editing capability via the brand-new Replay 3 software, and acts as a personal mobile store for footage, whether users are involved in or witness an accident, or even just catch something of interest on the road.
The 612GW also benefits from a new aesthetic design, with premium quality brushed aluminium casing, and a full touch screen for menu selection.
Richard Browning, director at Nextbase, commented: “The innovations in the 612GW of capturing footage in unprecedented 4K HD, are in line with our knowledge of what the UK motorist really wants from a Dash Cam. This is unmatched footage quality that can provide motorists with a truly independent witness in the event of any incident. Helping unfortunate drivers who are victims of incidents on the roads is our primary concern at Nextbase and, with the 612GW, our customers can drive safe in the knowledge that they are armed with the industry’s most cutting-edge technology to ensure superior video recording.”
The Nextbase 612GW is available for £249 from selected UK Halfords stores, or online at Halfords.com. Halfords also offers a WeFit service, with installation carried out by a professional fitter to hard wire the Dash Cam to your car’s ignition and remove excess cables.

obsession
AMANDA ROBSON
Paperback Original * £7.99
obsession: (n) the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, or person
the #obsession is starting
Presenting a stunning debut psychological thriller by former poisons expert Amanda Robson, Obsession is a dark, twisting tale of affairs gone wrong
He’s not your husband. He’s hers.
It starts out as a game on a campsite. Something to liven up a dull holiday with the kids. Who else would you go for, if you could? Just a normal married couple, talking about their fantasies. But once said, things cannot be unsaid. And what happens next will make you want to keep your mouth shut forever.
Carly and Rob. Jenni and Craig. Two couples, four friends. Betraying each other. Wanting each other.
All of them have access to prescription drugs through the medical practice where they work, and all of them are fighting their own demons.
But can any of them be trusted? And when the lies begin, can they ever be silenced?
Perfect for fans of TV’s Doctor Foster and The Affair, Obsession is a compelling debut that will leave readers guessing until the very last page.
About the author: After graduating, Amanda Robson worked in medical research at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and at the Poisons Unit at Guy’s Hospital, where she became a co-author of a book on cyanide poisoning – knowledge she demonstrates to great effect in this dark, twisting tale which makes terrifying use of poisons throughout. Amanda attended the Faber novelwriting course, and is now a full-time author. Obsession is her first novel.

THE GOURMET GIFT FOR YOUR PRECIOUS POOCH
A dog’s (Christmas) dinner never tasted so good
TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
Picture the scene, it’s Christmas Day, you’re tucking into a piled-high plate of the tastiest Christmas dinner, and despite doe-eyes from your beloved dog, it’s not until your belly is full to popping point, that the plates are scraped and your pooch gets the scraps. It’s a dog’s life, eh?
None of us want our dogs to feed on Nana’s leftovers on the most special day of the festive season, so this year treat your dog to a dinner of its own. And rather than slaving away over separate doggy portions in the kitchen, simply open a can of Edgard & Cooper’s new festive game recipe instead.
A tasty Christmas gift for your furry family member, this gourmet meal for mutts is gamey and delicious with brussel sprouts and bacon too – the full festive works! Like all Edgard & Cooper dishes, it’s natural, nutritious and has absolutely no-nonsense.
Put off by the meat meal (rendered animal parts and carcass), artificial flavours and genetically modified nonsense that goes into some dog food, Edgard & Cooper decided to make its own proper stuff using real ingredients and fresh meat. Dogs love it, and so do their tummies.
Edgard & Cooper’s wholesome dishes for dogs are all about tasty recipes, and fresh really does mean fresh. These mutts on a mission (Edgard & Cooper are actually the two brand owners’ family dogs) believe that every dog deserves to eat well – and especially on Christmas Day. So dish yours up their own festive feast and leave the leftover turkey for Boxing Day sandwiches.
Available now until the end of December in a 100g small tray (RRP £1.09) and 400g can (RRP £2.29)
