Our Reviews

The ALPS Mountaineering King Kong is a large, durable and comfortable chair that comes at the cost of being heavy. It’s a great all-around camping chair.

The Big Agnes Big Six Camp Chair is easy to carry, but it has no armrests or drink holders. While it’s a good chair, there are better ultralight options out there.

The GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair is sturdy and rocks but it’s slightly heavy and not the most compact. It’s a unique swinging camping chair.

The Yeti Trailhead Camp Chair is comfortable, sturdy and durable, but also expensive and heavy. It’s a luxurious and long-lasting chair.

The Nemo Moonlite Reclining Camp Chair is comfortable, breathable and versatile, but also bulky and expensive. It’s a durable and comfortable reclining chair.

The vidaXL Folding Camping Cupboard has extra storage for sampling, plus is made of durable materials. It is, however, heavy and has no room for your legs underneath. It’s an excellent table for long-term camp cooking.

The Quechua Folding Table is easy to assemble, but has a rough surface. It’s portable and has a good surface area for a good price.

The ZOLEO Satellite Communicator is light and compact, making it a great addition to your trekking gear. While you can only use the app to send custom messages, the satellite range allows you to let people know your location and send SOS from anywhere in the world.

The Spinifex Square Folding Table has a great price for such an easy setup, but it's small and a little bit flimsy. Overall, it's a basic table that's not durable.

The Front Runner Expander Table is quite lightweight, sturdy and versatile but for its size, it's quite pricey. Overall, it's a basic table but is great for a variety of uses.

The OA Titan Table is great as a portable table for multiple uses, but it has a slightly longer setup time than other tables due to how small it packs down. Overall, it's strong, multiuse and compact table.

The Oztrail Folding Table is versatile as it has great storage, but it's not a dining table. It's a good cooking/kitchen table for camping.

The Trekology Portable Table is incredibly portable and lightweight, but it's also flimsy and has a slightly longer setup than other tables. Overall, it's just too small to be useful.

The BlackWolf Slatted Table is strong and great to sit around but it's quite pricey and annoying to set up. It's a good, strong family table.

The Zempire Kitpac Large V2 is a stylish table and has a built-in bottle opener but it's small for a family table. Overall, it's a modern and easy set up table.

The Helinox Table One is highly portable and lightweight, but this comes at the expense of being small and having a nylon table top. It's a good table for hiking but we wouldn't take it camping.

The MSR Elixir 2 has a high-quality construction and well-thought-out features. While it’s a bit heavy and is larger than other tents we’ve reviewed, it’s a versatile choice, prioritising comfort over lightweight.

The Nemo Hornet Elite OSMO backpacking tent is extremely lightweight and easy to set up. While it’s small, a bit delicate and on the expensive side, the tent is excellent for when lightweight is key, which it is when hiking.

The Glide Aquavate Duo kayak is a cheap and light kayak for occasional recreation use in flat water areas. As it’s very tight for two adults, it’s a good option for families with children, but it also has poor tracking and is not durable, hence why it’s not suitable for rough waters.

The Aqua Marina Laxo 320 is an easy kayak to set up and is stable out on the water. It does, however, take time to dry once finished and it can be quite cramped inside with two paddlers. There are also some durability issues. Overall, it’s a decent budget kayak for recreational use.

The KXOne Slider 410 is an easy-to-set-up and well-made kayak. While it’s high-quality, there’s room for improvements, and the kayak is quite short to comfortably seat two adults. While it moves nicely through the water, there is quite a bit of drag.

For beginners, kids and families, the Intex Challenger K2 is a straightforward and reasonably priced kayak. It lacks durability, tracks poorly and is a little uncomfortable, but it is very steady on the water. This kayak is excellent for leisurely kayaking on lakes and tranquil rivers.

With the extra benefit of being stable and simple to paddle, the Intex Explorer K2 inflatable tandem kayak delivers quick inflation and deflation. Due to its high edges, it can be challenging for smaller paddlers and it has poor tracking, little storage and limited storage. It's a reasonably priced kayak for leisurely day outings.

Although it's a little cramped and not the most pleasant kayak to paddle in, the Itiwit Drop-Stitch 1–2-person Cruising kayak is durable and nicely made. The kayak is a suitable option for the casual paddler for leisurely use on calm waters, despite its poor tracking.
