Having a large weight capacity, the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite is a fast kayak, and due to its sturdy and well-built construction, it takes time to set up and is somewhat heavy when packed. In spite of these drawbacks, the kayak is quick and sturdy.

With this Razor R2 Ultra Kayak, there's simply nothing more you could want. It is durable, smooth on the water and simple to paddle, and it inflates and deflates quickly. One of the best 2-person inflatable kayaks on the market, even though it is a touch pricey, and is made of high-quality materials.

The Aquaglide Blackfoot 160 DS Angler Kayak is very versatile and stable, making it ideal for recreational kayaking as well as fishing alone or with a companion. It takes a little longer to inflate than other kayaks due to its size, but it is one of the best inflatable kayaks because it has a tonne of storage and other advantages.

The Oru Lake is extremely portable and cleverly designed to fold, however its low weight capacity and hull shape mean there are sacrifices in performance and comfort. Read on for our full detailed review.

The KXOne Slider 375 is a full drop-stitch hull designed for maximum firmness and cut-through. It handles well, though has slightly more drag than comparable models. Read on for our full detailed review.

The Aquaglide Blackfoot 130 DS Angler has all the bells and whistles needed in a fishing kayak. It’s engineered for stability with a dropstitch floor and well-shaped hull, and thoughtfully designed to include room for tackle boxes, rods and other storage.

This is a light portable kayak that is stable and handles well in the water. The drop stitch floor provides an excellent surface to paddle against and it's really easy to setup and pack away.

For the price this kayak tracks surprisingly well, is fairly stable and isn't too hard to handle. Our main knocks on it are that it's made with thin materials that may be susceptible to puncture and it's slow in the water. Easy to dry, it's an ok budget option but only for recreational use in good conditions.

Decathlon's Itiwit Cruising Kayak comes at an affordable price and small packed size, however feels slow and bulky in the water and takes a long time to dry. Read our review for evaluation across Construction, Portability, Setup/Pack Down, Comfort and Performance.

This is definitely the cheapest kayak we tested and in our opinion it does feel more like a pool toy than a kayak. It handles ok and is easy to dry but the cockpit is hard to squeeze into and the thin materials make it susceptible to puncture.

We love the stability and comfort of this kayak. It also has some great storage for taking on an overnight trip. Our main issues are the setup/pack down and speed in the water. We really noticed the width and it was a bit hard to manoeuvre this kayak around.

On paper this should be a great kayak. It certainly delivers on the speed and is the closest inflatable kayak in terms of design to a hard shell. It's a bit heavy to carry but the main issue we have is the lack of stability and less than great finish quality of the build.

Spacious and stable, this is a great kayak for beginners or someone who wants the option to go fishing without committing to a full-fledged fishing kayak. Suitable for class 3 rapids it certainly won't fall apart on you either. In terms of performance it is a bit slow in the water and doesn't track that well in a straight line.

The Sea Eagle 300X Explorer is compact, quick to set up and easy to pack down. Compared to some of the other top end models however it doesn't perform as well in the water. Its wide base does provide a bit of extra stability but it does make it a harder to paddle, with straight line speed and tracking suffering a bit.

This is a comfortable kayak that performs pretty well in the water. Tracking really well in a straight line it is also easy to manoeuvre. With all the inflation points it does take time to setup and you need to wait a day or two for it to dry before putting it back in the bag which isn't very practical.

Really solid in the water with a good storage capacity, this is an enjoyable kayak to paddle. The cockpit is comfortable and there is a curved bar the lifts the deck to give you the little bit of extra space you need for your legs.

A hard shell foldable kayak that doesn't require inflation. The Oru Beach LT is a lightweight durable kayak that handles well in the water. It is a expensive, the thin seat design is a bit less comfortable than some others it could also benefit from deck strips to enclose and strengthen it overall.

The OA Hanlu 4P is a strong easy to set up tent that will last for years. It's missing a power inlet but has all the other basic features you would need. Our only real knock on it is that its clearance height of 185cm is a bit low for us. Great option though if you don't need the height and are just looking for a sturdy reliable tent.

The Comfort Camper XL10 is a minimalist tent. The setup time is about 10 mins which means this is better suited to longer camping trips where you are not moving around. The pole materials will stand up to the elements but it's light on features. In saying that the price is right and it does provide a large roomy space to live.

The Coleman 4P Silver tent is a basic tent that is versatile enough for touring or camping. Our main criticism is that the materials used in the frame and fabrics aren't of the same class as some of the more expensive options. In saying that it's an easy setup and low price make this a good budget option.
