Aug 24, 2011
The Strongback Chair isn't the lightest deck, patio or camping chair, but it does provide much-needed back support our users found delightful

Article Thumbnail Kelty Basecamp Kitchen
Aug 3, 2009
It’s amazing how quickly a campsite picnic table can get cluttered with food, bowls and other odds and ends to the point that there’s no room to prepare food, much less cook it or eat it. But the Kelty Basecamp Kitchen will free up space on the table and help you get things organized.

Article Thumbnail Kelty Recliner
Apr 6, 2009
When a camp chair costs $160, there are high expectations. Obviously, it has to be way more comfortable than those bag chairs sold in sporting goods stores and the supermarket -- you know, the ones with the sandpaper fabric seat that slumps so low that the front lip cuts into your legs. A high-end chair should also outclass most of the souvenir shop beach chairs that are only somewhat adjustable and quickly rust, bend and rip. As soon as our testers unfolded the Kelty Recliner, they couldn't wait to begin their rigorous testing.

Aug 25, 2008
It sometimes a tough decision -- take the camp chair backpacking and bear the weight, or leave it and suffer hard or wet ground. Fortunately, lightweight chairs such as the Hexalite Original Chair from Crazy Creek make the decision easier.

Article Thumbnail Sunset Dual Recliner Swing
Jun 9, 2008
We at SNEWS® have looked at many deck and porch swings and thought about acquiring one, because when you work hard you gotta be able to relax hard too. From mass merchandisers to big box to your local department and drug stores, they all seem to have one come spring and summer and we’ve certainly tried our share. While each has its merits, the Sunset Dual Recliner Swing is not only the Cadillac of swings, it is the Ferrari of swings. You want a swing? Do you really want a seductive, embracing, never-want-to-get-up, ahhhhh-producing swing? This is the swing for you, hands down.

Article Thumbnail Walkstool
Nov 19, 2007
The Walkstool from Sweden made us stop in our tracks when we saw it at a trade show earlier this year. It looks like a regular tripod stool, but we noted some intriguing differences we wanted to examine more closely.

Article Thumbnail WearEver Deluxe Backpack Lounger
Jul 17, 2006
We've owned plenty of beach chairs, low-slung camp chairs, stadium chairs, folding chairs, low-back chairs and others -- and none have yet entered into the realm of what we would dub THE perfect event or lounge chair. So, when we heard about the WearEver Backpack Lounger -- the deluxe version, mind you -- we admit we began to twitch a little in anticipation of an upcoming test that might, finally, reveal the perfect chair.

Article Thumbnail Travel Chair Ultimate Recliners
Oct 19, 2002
OK, we'll admit it. We aren't always on the go. In fact, when the sun's rays are dancing across the deck of the SNEWS® Sierra Nevada headquarters, we can be found lounging -- err, product testing -- in our Travel Chair Ultimate Recliners. Lucky we have wireless so we can continue to work, which of course we do! Uh-huh…
