Fully functioning, stylish travel scales for the weight-conscious traveller they are also ideal for smaller bathrooms where space is at a premium

One of the many problems associated with travelling and holidays, is the way they seems specifically designed to clash with your weight loss plans. All inclusive resorts, pool-side snacks and cheap drink offers all help the wallet but do little for the waistline. Sometimes you need to know how your diet is going - problem is that your scales are back home in your own bathroom.

These Portable Body Scales however may be just the thing for the weight conscious traveller. Super slim, stylish and weighing less than 500g, the Portable Body Scales take up almost no additional bag space and is specially designed to go everywhere with you (they will even fit comfortably into a standard handbag). The toughened glass shell adds a certain je ne sais quois, whilst the red LED display adds a futuristic touch.

The Portable Body Scales display weight in both imperial and metric denominations meaning no complicated mental arithmetic is required for conversion (wish we could say the same for currency exchange rates). Just flick the switch on the underside to match your preferred unit of measurement.

Powered by two AAA batteries, you don't even need to worry about travel adaptors or voltage converters. The intelligent power switch means that the scales switch themself off automatically until you next get on them, at which point the scales will power up once more. And when your holiday is over, you can also figure out just how much excess baggage you have gained in your suitcase before arriving at the airport and embarrassing yourself at check-in. Nice!
