An Airstream is the perfect basecamp for outdoor adventure, providing every comfort of home. When it comes time to venture forth on a hike, mountain bike ride or even a drive into that quaint little town, make sure you’re adequately prepared for any eventuality by stashing a VSSL in your pack. The VSSL (pronounced “vessel”) combines a state-of-the-art flashlight with a waterproof tube packed with your choice of outdoor essentials.
Choose from a first aid kit, a bundle of survival essentials, an emergency shelter or even a flask. Have other things you’d like to keep close at hand while exploring? Select one of two VSSL Cache models, and stock it yourself.
Each VSSL tube is 9” x 2” and weighs about 16oz. The seamless extruded aluminum design was inspired, in part, by the iconic look of Airstream. The flashlight emits a floodlight beam that illuminates a wide area for up to 20 hours of normal use and 40 hours in SOS mode. It’s powered by three N batteries, which are widely available in hardware stores.
VSSLs are made in Canada and range in price from $49.95 to $99.50 depending on the contents.
