The MSR Elixir 2 has a high-quality construction and considered features, but its weight and size are its downfall. It’s a versatile choice, prioritising comfort over lightweight.

The Marmot Tungsten has a large living space but it’s weight is quite considerable, as is its size. It’s better suited for short trips & camping.

The Forclaz MT500 Dome Tent is an impressive option for campers and budget-conscious hikers who need reliable shelter without breaking the bank. Compact, sturdy and well-designed, it’s a solid all-rounder for a variety of conditions and offers more than you’d expect at its price point.

The Brunner Bula XL Beach Chair is easy, cosy and robust but it’s not adjustable and has low armrests. Overall, it’s a very comfortable and easily transportable beach chair.

The Solenny 4 Positions Chair has breathable, quick-drying textilene fabric and is extremely lightweight and portable with built-in handles. It only has a limited weight capacity of 100kg, though, and the no headrest, and low backrest height reduces comfort for taller individuals. Overall, it’s a great pick for light, practical use.

The Dometic GO Compact Chair is lightweight, compact, made with good materials and has a stylish design. It does, however, lack common features, has a low seating position and only moderate back support. It’s a durable and portable camping chair with a sleek design, best for those who value aesthetics and compactness over added features.

The Quechua Comfortable Folding Chair is comfortable for average-height people and breathable, but it would be great if it had a side pocket and it’s not the most comfortable for taller people. Overall, it’s a practical chair that’s well made, but it’s missing features that make it stand out.

The Lightwave Sigma S22 is roomy, lightweight and waterproof, but it’s quite dark inside and you have to the thread poles to set it up, which is not great for everyone. Overall, it’s a great option for a single-walled tent.

The KXOne Slider 410 made our list of top 10 best 2-person kayaks as it is easy to set up and is well made. While it’s high-quality, there’s still room for improvement, and the kayak is quite short to comfortably seat two adults.

The Gumotex Twist 2/1 is a high-quality and lower-cost convertible choice that made number 6 on our list. It’s not as firm as the next level up of drop-stitch kayaks, but for this class of kayaks provides good durability and handling.

The Sevylor Tahiti Plus is extremely portable and comes at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, this sacrifices the quality of the paddling experience. Read more in our in-depth Sevylor Tahiti Plus review.

At a mere 1lb 4oz/600g, the Therm-a-Rest Hyperion is INSANELY light for a sleeping bag of this quality. It's been specifically engineered to be light weight so it's perfect for longer hikes - but keep in mind that does mean some compromises. Read more in our detailed sleeping bag review.
