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.

This 3-season tent is designed to be lightweight and spacious, fit for 2 people. It features a visor for increased ventilation and unique entry points, 2 doors and 1 vestibule. The Kelty All Inn 2 sets up and packs down easily with outward leaning walls that give extra headroom.

This 4-season tent with 29 square feet of interior space fits two campers with a comfortable livable room. Its versatility means you can take it out for various activities whether it's for summertime mountaineering or trekking. The lightweight fabric and double wall design does a good job at handling condesation.

The Mountain Hardwear Phantom is one of the best in terms of warmth-to-weight ratio. The 850-fill down insulation is an excellent feature fit for those who want to do more serious expeditions. Warmth is doubled around the head with its four-chamber hood, worth mentioning as it does a great job at that. It can be packed down to high-end compression sack for convenient carry. Definitely a great choice for alpine traverse.

A mummy-style, well-constructed sleeping bag has comfortable and breathable material. One should look into The North Face’s Blue Kazoo.

Complete with all the features you need from a sleeping bag, the Sea to Summit Tk3 is a must-have for serious campers. Read on about the best sleeping bags in the UK.

The Therm-a-Rest Hyperion 20 is of high quality and comfort, a great choice for saving weight and size. Definitely worth its spot on the Best Sleeping Bags of 2024.

We enjoyed relaxing in the RIO BEACH Folding Beach Chair, probably the best looking of the bunch we tested. The wooden arms lend a touch of luxury and refinement to the chair, perfect for sipping cocktails by the seaside. The chair features an innovative system that allows the back position to be adjusted by moving the armrests, which was a win, and was easy to carry to and from the water.

Part of relaxing at the beach is that you shouldn't need to go anywhere, and the Homevative Folding Backpack Beach Chair delivers on that. With more pockets than Mary Poppins' handbag, this chair makes sure you have everything easily accessible.

If you're specifically after a chair with built-in sunshade, then the GCI Outdoor Waterside Sunshade Backpack Beach Chair is worth a look. It folds down into a fairly compact size for storage, so as it fulfills the role of part beach chair part umbrella, it's not a bad option.
