FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I have to say , the quality of the packaging and the products themselves are all top class . Everything seems well made and designed to cope with our harsh conditions . It is obvious a lot of thought has gone into the design of the ZOLEO and its accessories .
WHAT ’ S NEXT ?
We will be testing the ZOLEO over the next few weeks to see if it delivers on its promise and we will bring you the results in a future issue of this magazine . Until then , safe travels .
