14 Best Outdoor Black Friday Deals (2022 Updated)

Finally a shoe that fits. I’ve tried 4-5 brands of hiker’s for daughter so nice she was about 12 and she always complained the didn’t feet right. Now 19, she is moving to AK, so having quality is a priority.

We went to sporting store, again, and tried on 7-8 pairs and a Columbia pair fit, but what was in stock was more a hunting boot. but we had a size and, being older, she realized that it was the arch that did not fit in keen, vasques, rocky or the Walmart hikers.

We ordered these and after keeping them on 10 minutes, she asked if she could wear them all the time. THAT is the statement that says it all. Her everyday foot wear has be converse all these years, and didn’t enjoy hiking or hunting near as much in other hikers because her feet hurt, and she always opted to wear her converse, which have limitations when hiking on uneven rocky terrain.

I can’t tell you how happy we are that after 7 years, we finally found a hiker that fits comfortably and has all day comfort. I did add silicone repellant to the fabric weave area and seal oil to the boot leather, as stated these are going to be daily wear in AK.

And because they are on sale, I’m ordering a second pair for a Christmas present.

Live in Oregon, needed a decent waterproof winter boot, for everyday running around town or play, preferably warm enough to handle a few snow days. The snow seems to be done this winter so I haven’t checked them out in that element but these definitely work in rain, waterproof and grip well.

I wish these were a bit warmer which is why I didn’t give 5 stars, that and the part above the ankle is a bit stiff. But, these do feel like a tennis shoe, light, comfortable enough for long day wear despite my arthritic toes and these look really cool – even in this teal surprisingly.

I got that color because it was on clearance and thought they’d be loud but no! It’s darker than the picture. I wear a size 9 and after reading reviews, bought size 9 Wide. Fits fine with room for a thicker sock.

For the price, I think you really get a great bang for your buck.

My goddaughter in New York recommended these boots after reading very good reviews about them knowing I was struggling to choose new ones. The actual boot is very comfortable and fits well. I was told by a podiatrist to always buy a size larger in a trainer and walking boot so I purchased a 5 although my normal shoe size is 4.

On my second wearing I got a blister on my ankle above my heal, I have very sensitive feet so wasn’t surprised, the ankle cuffs are a little hard. I did however read a review that advised wearers to watch a YouTube video on how to tie laces properly on walking boots.

I found a Trekkit video and was amazed at how differently they advise how to tie laces than I tie mine. I’m waiting for my blister to heal before trying this technique but I’m confident that it will make a big difference.

Overall I think the boots are comfortable, subject to more breaking in, they look good and seem to be waterproof as I walked in puddles without a problem. 10 out of 10 after a few more wears I’m confident.

TL;DR: – Water repellant failed on first use after 2hrs of consistent mod/heavy rain. Held up until that point – Jacket fit true to size for me (size: Medium, Height: 5′ 7″, weight: 160lbs) – Seemed to breath well, no problems with sweating – Lightweight & packable – Stopped mild winds, even after becoming compromised Recommend to/for: Day hiker, light passing rain NOT recommend to/for: Thru hikers, Very wet climates, Multiple day backpacking trips ======Full read======== Me: 30 something; avid backpacker & hiker; was looking for a light weight jacket to bring on the PCT I just recently purchased this jacket (Blue).

We had some large rain storms over the holiday weekend so I decided to put the jacket through a test. (Rain actually caused major flooding wear I live) I did a small 8. 5 mile day hike that was a mixture of being in the green tunnel and exposed with no tree cover.

The rain was constant and moderate and heavy volumes coming down, wind was 10-15 mph, temperature ~70. ===Water proofing/resistance==== After about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs into my hike the jacket failed and I started to become wet.

By the end of the hike (an hour later) I was soaked under the jacket. Things to note; I was keeping my pace slow to prevent/reduce sweating & this was the first time wearing this jacket. I took it out of the packaging that morning before leaving to hike.

===Breathing=== Side note on sweating this jacket seemed to breath well for me and I did not feel like I was trapped in green house. ===Wind breaker=== The jacket does a good job when it comes to stopping wind, even once it was compromised and letting water through.

Though wind conditions were pretty tame maxing out at around 10-15 mph. Will be testing this further in the White Mountains in the near future. ===Jacket Fit=== I am 5′ 7″ 160lbs and bought the Medium jacket.

I normally wear mediums as I have very broad shoulders. The medium fit true to size as I am use to with other jackets that are labeled as mediums. ===Durability=== If you are use to light weight gear & light rain jackets this feels normal.

I wouldn’t recommend using a jacket like this to preform prolonged rough tasks or to take a beating. Might not want to do long bush waking treks with it. This is much like any other light weight jackets on the market.

===Conclusion=== All in all I would recommend this for use in short exposures to passing light/moderate rain storms. I believe this product would do well for the average day hiker, shorter overnight backpacking trips.

The jacket should hold out long enough for you to find shelter or weather a quick passing rain storm. If you are going to purchase this it might work better if you treat it with DWR yourself before use.

You may get better results? I would NOT recommend this for thru hiking or longer backpacking trips. Reason being if you get wet on a long trip it could be very problematic.

I ordered this as I was preparing to return to the muggy, humid, and thunderstorm-y reaches of central Ohio, needing something both breathable and waterproof, as well as light and packable enough to be carried around in a satchel.

I was curious to see how Columbia’s Omni-Tech compares to the plain Gore-Tex of past jackets I’ve had. I’ve forgone my umbrella a few times in order to see how well it works, and I’m very pleased. The jacket’s hood stays up reasonably well even in hilltop winds, and it’s as waterproof as I’d hoped (no more getting drenched in surprise downpours!).

It’s compressible, and on days when I don’t have a bag, the fabric isn’t too slippery for me to tie it around my waist. In humidity, it does okay in terms of breathability, though anything gets sweaty if you’re moving around a lot and exerting yourself in that weather (in which case the rain is more a relief than anything).

It also makes an excellent windbreaker. On top of all that, it escaped the petty issue I’ve had with past raincoats: it wasn’t unbearably noisy! It crinkles a bit, but it doesn’t sound like someone is crumpling paper in my ear when the hood is up.

A small thing, but much appreciated! My only complaint would be that, even when fully loosened, it can feel tight around the hips (mine are fairly wide), and wearers with wider hips or larger stomachs might find that a hindrance.

All in all, though, a very well-made jacket.

I go back to this jacket whenever I need a new one. I think this is my 3rd in 10 years, and I’ve never worn one out, just changed sizes. The construction is great: it keeps me dry and comfortable and it’s practically all-season for the PNW.

The fabric is what I would consider somewhere between light and medium weight. The mesh lining keeps it from being clammy in warmer temps so in the summer I use it as a windbreaker on the water or in the mountains.

The closed seams mean it also keeps me dry and warm when used as an outer layer in cooler temps during spring/fall/winter. It keeps the rain off and I like the adjustable hood. The fit isn’t too slim or too bulky–just right! For me, (5’4″) the length is perfect, hitting just below the hips; being shorter, I also appreciate the ability to velcro the cuffs tighter so they aren’t too long.

Zippers are strong and durable. Best of all, it rolls up nice and compact for stuffing into your pack or luggage–perfect travel jacket!.

I bought this particular chair for my MIL bc she wanted one after sitting in mine at a softball game. My husband and my mom also have one and we all absolutely love this chair. It gives the comfort needed while enjoying watching outdoor activities such as a softball game or as simple as sitting outside with friends.

The rocker part is what makes the chair set a part from others. It is comfortable, sturdy and securely made. Way more comfortable than sitting on the bleachers or other foldable chairs. You don’t slump down and you don’t feel like it is going to fold with you in it like some foldable chairs.

It is also easy to carry as it is easy to fold up and has two handles, one on top and one on the side. If you are one to be outdoors for whatever reason and need a chair, this is the one! You will not be disappointed.

This chair has many design flaws. My wife and I have both had ours less than 6 months (mine has only been used 4 times, because I am usually coaching). My wife’s carry strap broke first time using it.

Its very difficult to get closed, she usually has to put it on the ground and push it all the way closed so it can be strapped. My wife has lost/broke several of the bolts/pins connecting joints and I have had to repair.

We finally scrapped hers and bought a different chair (Dicks would not return). My chair (remember only used a few times) has a snapped leg. Looks like the hole for a bolt/pin was drilled over 3/4 the diameter of the leg, making it structurally deficient (again, Dicks would not return).

The only plus, the chair was comfortable.

I’m on my 2nd one of these. As with other reviewers, I bought this because I thought it was a rebranded Kijaro that I bought previously (and continues to be awesome). This is as comfortable as the Kijaro, but after 1 use the mechanical slider binds and prevents the chair from opening or closing.

I returned the chair and the replacement does the same thing. It was a 50 dollar freaking camp chair; this is unacceptable. I refuse to throw it away because it’s comfortable, but I have to spray the legs with lube every time I use it.

If you want to sign yourself up for that, go ahead and buy. I can’t believe Dicks is still selling these crappy things 2 years later.

I own eight AW 650’s. They sound great until they have an issue. Don’t bother calling Klipsh to help with replacement parts. It’s a waste of time. All I needed was a crossover but they simply would not sell me one.

They wanted me to take a six year old speaker to a “professional”. Ended up throwing away the speaker and purchased two Bose speakers. Will replace all with Bose as they go bad as it’s impossible to get parts from Klipsch.

Very disappointing.

I put a pair of these on a lake deck, they are the best I have heard! The only thing I could do to improve on these speakers would be to upgrade my AMP. They will handle all the volume and power that my Denon will provide, and I believe that they could go another level with more power in the mix.

No distortion at all at high volume. My neighbors are going to hate me before the end of summer. Good Stuff here!!.

I placed these on my patio under the eves of the garage at about 6. 5′ high. They sound great at normal levels and just get better and better the more you turn them up. I have a 3-acre backyard and you can hear them anywhere clearly and they don’t seem overly loud when you’re by them either.

We’ve had backyard parties and they are impressive, everyone loves them and wants to know where all the sound is coming from. The bass is pretty good, not subwoofer good, but decent. The bass is best about 25-50′ out from the speakers.

When you stand in the center anywhere from 15′ to 30′ in front of them the imaging is excellent, it sounds theater-like. It makes me want to get the subwoofer that is the same size box. These speakers are very efficient and can be powered by nearly anything.

I’m using an old Sony 75w/ch receiver, but I’ve even used a cheap 30w/ch Chinese eBay amp and that worked fine too. They are much cleaner sounding with a “real” amp. I don’t even come close to using the 75 watts of the Sony.

If you have a small yard these may not be needed, a smaller size Klipsch will do everything you need. The larger size will have better bass.

I had this exact firepit for 7 years and finally the grate and the bottom gave out. It was so good I ordered another. There is no longer a grate, just some raised ‘ridges’ on the floor of the firepit, which is their new version of a grate.

Anyone who has had firepits knows how hot and hard fires are on the BOTTOMS of the pit. I would never have bought this if I’d known. Customer service said they need to correct it on their website. Some sort of compensation would have also been nice since I bought it with an outdated description.

I cannot recommend this and when the floor falls through in a year or 2, I will be looking elsewhere for a fire pit.

We had a fire pit for 10 years that looked just like this one. When we received this delivery we were worried as the weight of the pit was substantially less than the last one we had. It did not take too long to assemble, and it works nicely so far.

However, the ring around the pit is very flimsy and wont probably last long. All in all, the whole thing is lower in quality than we were hoping for.

I bought this midgrade priced fire pit with the hope that it would be a little bit better quality than the cheaper ones. It is not a heavy duty fire pit in terms of the thickness of the metal. I received it with a dent on the bottom and a scratch down to the silver on the side, no big deal for me because it’s just going in my backyard… But again going back to the quality of the metal.

The best thing about it is the size, it is a nice size for burning sticks and logs in for a fire pit at night. Overall quality and price, do not recommend.

I’ve been using this chair at football games the last few weeks and it’s great! Super lightweight, adjustable and easy to plop down on the bleachers. My other chair is a really compact foldable chair with armrests and while that one is more comfortable long-term, it’s heavier, bulkier and takes a minute to setup.

This Crazy Creek chair is a lot more simple to use. It’s got an adequate amount of padding so that my butt isn’t getting fatigued or cold from the hard metal bleachers. I’ve got pretty big hips and I do not have any issues sitting in this chair.

It’s also pretty sturdy and I’m able to lean back in it comfortably without fear of the straps breaking. It’s still early in it’s use, but I imagine this chair will hold up for a long time. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that while it is very sturdy, the price point does seem a bit high compared to some other products.

I got my first Crazy Creek Original Chair in 1996 and it has carried me through triumphs and failures, trails and water, and fireside chats. This new Crazy Creek Original Chair is just as fun, dynamic, flexible and durable as my first.

Bolder in color with a velcro fastener on the side, the Crazy Creek Original Chair is easy to adjust, provides enough support without being rigid, and was easily transported in one of my “personal item” backpacks as a carry-on onto the plane.

I used it over four weeks, with travel on the trails and a weekend visit to the beach. It was ready and comfortable for sitting on logs, squaring up on the sand to listen to the ocean, and even used in a very uncomfortable airplane seat (the ones without lumbar support) to provide the extra support that my petite frame needed.

Yep, a great, all-around, versatile, flexible chair that I look forward to using for decades to come! The Crazy Creek Original Chair – kinda like the everlasting gobbstopper. it keeps going!.

I bought this product as a chair for my packraft and have not been disappointed. I was constantly sinking back in my packraft with my badly designed blow up seat, but I got this crazy creek chair and put it on top and no longer am sinking! This chair has also come in handy for my boyfriend and kid when they come and watch me play hockey.

Keeps their butts off the hard metal stadium stands and gives them much needed back support. These chairs are also amazing for camping and backpacking. Can’t recommend these enough!.

This is a great canopy! We use it for our kettle corn business at events. So glad it came in many different options for the color. It is so easy to put up, fire safety rated, and easy to break down. My husband loves the open top design (on the inside).

Our other canopy has support structure on the inside. Love the oversized wheels on the roller case. It took a little getting used to how to load it in the bag on one end (does not zip down the long edge) but it locks into the bag better to roll around.

Broke the second time we ever set it up. They have changed the design of this structure so that there is no longer a middle support brace. That means that as soon as a strong wind comes from the side it will bend and break your frame… not cool guys.

Warranty does nothing since it was weather related.

The tent itself is great. Sturdy and they have plastic covered metal rings where you pull to let down the canopy which is way better than the metal rings you had to pull on the old one we had. But when we took the canopy rolling case out of the plastic it came in it had a rip in it.

The plastic bag was not at all damaged but the one made of more sturdy material inside was. It will still hold the whole thing in it fine and everything it just isn’t what you are expecting when you purchase something new.

I don’t personally have a rumpl. But a friend did have one at this time I was homeless and had been homeless for two and a half years living on the street and they let me borrow their rumpl. Because I didn’t have anything to keep me warm and it was getting cold since it was late October in Utah.

It was amazing so late I didn’t even notice I was carrying more than everything else that I own on my back every day everywhere so adding this blanket was like nothing it was perfect. Perfect size to cover me can’t be warm I huddled up in a little corner of a church where they had a place I could be hidden from the street so no one would see me and come harass me or attack me or anything.

I didn’t have any cardboard which is what you should put down on concrete and I was laying on concrete. But I wrapped this blanket around me and I was warm! Being homeless and living on the street at night when it’s cold sometimes you freeze like your feet will go numb for hours after you wake up you wait for him to wake up but this blanket kept me warm and the sprinklers came on which was amazingly fun.

Most places do set their sprinklers to go off at night best time to water so it doesn’t evaporate in the sun I guess. Even with the sprinklers going I was getting kind of hit with the water but the blanket kept it off me.

It didn’t make me wet and get cold. This would be a lifesaver for a lot of people. Simple things like this can mean everything to somebody. I love your product and one day I hope to have one for myself.

So versatile lightweight, durable which is a huge bonus. Keep it up.

I got my first Rumpl (original puffy blanket) in April of 2020. I have subsequently purchased several for friends and family as gifts. I originally purchased it as a lighter option for summer camping.

Now, my Rumpl blanket follows me EVERYWHERE. In the cold SD winter, I carry it all over the house with me to keep me warm. I have brought it to the movie theater, picnicking, camping, and to several other countries.

This blanket is more well-traveled than a lot of people I know. It is lightweight but reflects back so much heat. I wash it on cold/delicate in the washer (despite the instructions) when needed (often), and hang it to dry indoors (which it does in a matter of a few hours).

It looks just as vibrant today as when I unboxed it. My favorite thing about it is that since the material is slippery like a sleeping bag, is doesn’t collect dog hair AT ALL. I cannot recommend Rumpl highly enough.

This is the blanket you need!!.

I just bought this blanket with the intended purpose to camp with it. I thought it would be convenient to pack and to wick away moisture during morning dew. Below is a breakdown of my thoughts. Pros: Very cool design options.

Does keep you warm during cool summer nights. This would not work for winter camping, but I think everyone knows that. I love the “cape” feature you are able to stand up and grab some more coffee from the French press while staying wrapped up.

Wicks away summer morning moisture in a tent. During the day, I used it to cover our pillows so they wouldn’t get damp in the tent. Cons: I know it’s made to roll up very small but it is quite slippery so it’s hard to tightly roll back up to get it back in the sack.

Also, while we were camping, it kept falling off in the middle of the night. I’m not sure if it’s entirely made for a sleeping scenario.

My daughter gave me a hammock as a Christmas gift because she knows every year I eye my wife’s hammock while we camp. During my first summer outing, I hung it up next to my wife’s hammock to relax together.

When I went to sit in in, I noticed a flaw in the material, and quickly it expanded. I contacted Eno when we returned home. They quickly responded, asked for a photo, and then sent me a code for a new one.

My wife and I are currently driving across the country, and I have relaxed in my replacement hammock several times thus far. We all make errors in life, and what we do next is more telling about one’s character.

This is why I can give Eno a “Great” rating even though my first product contained a flaw.

I started out with a $5. 00 hammock, which I thought was great! Then I bought an ENO. Holy Hammocks Batman! Wow! Who knew similar material types could be so different, in so many ways? First off, the colors are so vibrant.

They are even better in person. Next, we have the most silkiest, lightest material. Like Butta. Hanging it is a snap. They include the carabiners and they are already connected, and they match your color scheme.

Great personal touch I might add. I am about 5’3 in height and I can lay sideways perfectly. The extra material helps keep my neck up. It’s amazing. These are the Cadillac of Hammocks in my opinion. They also make great gifts! Thanks ENO.

I bought the ENO DoubleNest Hammock in the color “Sunshine” back in 2008 (when I was 18 years old) from a local camping gear shop. I had always wanted a hammock I could take with me and use anywhere.

I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to use, wash, and of course the convenience of clipping it to my backpack. Over the years this hammock has been through everything from countless music festivals, camping trips, beach days, and even parties where intoxicated people gave it a run for its money.

I even dated an overweight man who pushed the weight limit, but the two of us still managed to sit comfortably and the hammock held its weight (no pun intended). It is now 2019 and this hammock is still like new.

I currently work as a nanny and whenever I take kids to the park, they beg me to put it up so we can swing in it. This hammock is so durable and easy to use that it’s become a huge part of my life. I’m here on the site now planning to purchase a second one after I write this review! If you love the outdoors or even want to have it as the occasional relaxation device, you will not be sorry.

Not to mention the price is extremely reasonable for the quality of this product. Don’t forget to following the washing instructions to keep it clean to help it last even longer. Hope this was helpful! :).

very nice for $32. They are sturdy chairs foe the $32 price range. I bought 8 of these chairs to prepare for a dinner party but also I needed them to hold over 300 lbs. They are on the small side and not very comfy to large men for long periods, however it was comfortable to me as a short woman.

They were packed very nicely and already put together. They still had scratches on the silver which didn’t bother me. They are light but feel sturdy enough to last a few years. I do not know if they will rust with the elements as I only had them for a few days.

I will have to purchase my husband a more comfortable chair in the future but these will work for the time being.

Love these patio chairs. Color was a little different than they looked online. They aren’t as brown. Woven pieces are alternating black and tan which makes overall color have a slight yellow brown tone, but I still like them.

They are smaller than they look online but will work for my breakfast table. Seem very sturdy, but nice and lightweight. Really like the shape. Ordered 1 set first to see if I liked them. Will order 1 more set to have 4 for the table.

May order some of the black ones for my patio too. Babycakes likes them too!.

These are great chairs. Bought two orders of 4 (total 8) in black with brown rattan. They arrived already assembled and stacked in the box (appropriately) with really good shipping/packing materials.

Perfect for the deck! Sturdy and easy to clean. No need to have a cushion for them, however there is room if you decide. Walmart did a great job with my order – fast service! ALWAYS compare your online shopping to Walmart.

com. You will be amazed at what you learn.

I was in need of a pack that could be used to carry a laptop, books, etc for office work but then could easily be used to guide an outdoor day trip. I have used this pack for a month now doing just that and it has worked perfectly.

I also used it to travel internationally and it worked great for me. I used it as my carry-on. I placed it in the overhead compartment because I had no room for my feet when it was under the seat in front of me.

The brain has two zip pockets which are great for carrying your “quick to get” items. The two long “bottle pockets” on the inside are great too but if you pack them full it fills most of the space within the pack.

The two internal zip pockets are bigger in size and when full, are still out of the way. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the external pouches. They appear to be designed for 32oz bottles but unless you attach your bottle with a carabiner the bottles will fall out.

The pack is comfortable to carry all day when used with the chest strap and waist belt. You can easily remove both as I did this for the international flight. FYI, Some international flights wanted me to gate check my bag due to full flights.

Because I knew they were doing this and due to me wanting to keep my bag because my laptop was inside, I used the cinch straps (external compression with clips) to make my bag smaller. As I was passing through the line they stopped me to look at my bag.

They shared that they thought the bag was bigger than that, and let me go on through. I share this because I almost bought the MR pack that didn’t have the Molle webbing with compression straps or external pockets but I am glad I didn’t.

I wanted those features and it still worked. If you are looking for a pack you can carry around town through the week and within the wilderness for a weekend, this pack is for you.

Pack has more capacity than I expected from online pics. It worked very well when I used it, but it was much more than I (personally/subjectively) needed for day to day, so i recently ordered something smaller for (what I personally/ subjectively require for) every day use.

It is well made and seems plenty durable, so I plan to use it for overnights and trips. The extra pockets within the main part of the pack and on the lid offer many options for organizing with easy access.

It took a while for me to acclimate to the lid and the way it opened. I (personally/subjectively) didn’t like operating the lid as frequently as I need to through each day, something i feel would be easily tolerable if used as a long hike/camp bag with accessory pouches strapped on.

The torso adjustment system was very effective for me to achieve a perfect fit in a short time. The straps are padded almost to luxury lol. All of the zippers and buckles are high quality. I would recommend some aftermarket zipper pulls , or making some out of cord as the zips can hang up slightly because of the covering that keeps water out and the meeting point of three closures at the lid.

There are grab tabs sewn at the end of each zipper to made operation easier. I really like this pack and look forward to taking it out into these West Virginia highlands for some of the harder use it was obviously built for.

This is the first Mystery Ranch backpack that I have in my possession, and I am totally satisfied with the backpack. I had done an extended amount of research on the Mystery Ranch backpacks, and I could not decide which one to invest in.

After a few weeks of deliberating, this 2DAP was given to me as a present, and it has been the best present thus far. The 2DAP has exceeded all of my expectations. I, still in High School, use it mainly as a school backpack.

It has taken countless beatings on the daily travels, and it has held up. I usually carry about 2 32L Nalgenes, a computer, several books, notebooks, folders and more. I have more than enough space for ll of my school items, and there is still room for more.

The sharp edges of the binders have yet to cause any wear on the bottom or sides of the bag, and the zippers have beautifully broken in due to the daily opening and closing. the computer sleeve comes in great handy, and the two pockets on the lid are unbeatable.

They offer quick access to many misc things, and expanded more than they seem to hold. What really sold me on this bag was when I took it to Big Bend Nat’l Park, on a small backpacking trip. Although it is not meant for it, the bag held up over the 3 day hike, and it carried the load perfectly.

This revealed to me the possible versatility of this bag and how proficient it is in many ways. Overall, I do recommend.

The color of the chair is beautiful and the built is very sturdy. The chair looks exactly as it looks like in the picture on your website. Unfortunately, I am unable to sit in this chair. I am a short woman, 5 ft 2 in, and the seat was too low for me.

in addition, I’m handicapped and walk with a walker; I have balance issues also. I made about three failed attempts to sit in this chair, and the additional obstacle preventing me to sit in this chair was the metal bar or bars in the front of the chair.

my foot kept getting stuck between it and I realized that if I forced myself to try and sit in this chair I would probably break my ankle. My roommate, who is 6 feet tall, and also has long arms had trouble sitting in this chair and adjusting its position.

But at least he was able to sit in this chair. This chair is presently on the patio, unused, but when the weather gets cooler, as we in California are presently having a heatwave, my roommate will sit in this chair on the patio.

Setup was simple. It came assembled with just the beverage tray needing to be attached. The material & construction is durable & strong plastic that is weaved for breathability. It truly is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat it! The light beige color also makes it the best color for the least amount of heat absorption keeping it cool which is important.

I love that it has an overhead shade that is adjustable in 2 different ways for very specific heights & for each individual’s need. The shade can also be folded back securely if not needed. I also love that it reclines in a very comfortable reclining position.

The only thing about the recliner is that its not adjustable & can only be fully reclined back or in the sitting position. There isn’t any “lever” or “locking break” mechanism that allows you to be in-between the 2 positions.

I thought it had more options & was hoping I could have made it flat for when I need to lay on my stomach but the bar for the feet isn’t adjustable. I also love the beverage/phone/tablet tray. I wanted to bring it to the beach but it is a little bit bulky & heavier to haul if you have to carry it further away but I have a folding carrying cart thats plastic with bigger wheels that works great and used 2 bungee cords to keep it in place.

I would really love to see these 4 additional features for this chair: -an adjustable foot rest that you can have the option to lay flat, or be able to turn over on your stomach. -a locking break that can easily let you stay in any position; -a pocket on the back to easily store your towel, phone, carrying tray, drinks, snacks, ect.

-clip on wheels for ease of traveling. I’d pay more too if their was a chair that had all these additional features. It would be the worlds only beach chair that anyone would ever need. Overall this is a really great chair but it’s not that easy to haul with those 4 additional features it would be the perfect chair for any event!.

This chsir is rated very hard by me. not only does it create a comfortable place to sit but the functionality of it is very practical and giving you that floating ceiling while laying out in the chair.

I got a second one and it has satisfied my partners ceiling needs more than ever. The way in which they build is a very sturdy and stable and you don’t feel like you’re getting anything flimsy. The cost is reasonable for the product you’re getting well worth the extra money.

The side Trey is a must and he’s a hold in place for my phone and drink while poolside. I could not ask for a better zero gravity chair in this one. It holds my frame very comfortable with extra room and the pillow is a feature that you can’t go without.

Pros: Good value for the money. Solid velcro and plenty of molle space. Feels well-made. The plates are supported underneath by an interior flap part-way up from the bottom of the vest that folds upwards, so 10×12 plates don’t slip down to the bottom of the pocket.

This helps them stay up high where they belong, although side-to-side lateral support is helped by soft armor or blunt force pad. Good, light removable interior padding. Cummerbund is plenty long; I fold it over kimono style.

Cons: It’s very long top to bottom, which may interfere with a duty belt. I’m 6’2″, 200 lbs with 35 inch waist and 42 jacket. The smaller size is a good width but still long. The carrier is about 16″ from neck to bottom in front and 18″ in the back.

Contrast that with AR 500 Testudo that is about 14. 5″ in front and back when sealed and handles 11×14″ plates also. That means a duty belt high on the waist isn’t really an option; your holster will have to be in a low position.

This is after I removed the extra padding shoulder straps and pulled the velcro farther forward to really shorten the length as much as I could. Improvement suggestions: Bring the length in front and back towards 15″.

This is really a “big and tall” vest even in the smalller size. I think if you are 6’3″ and up and have a belly this is probably a good fit in the smaller size. You’d have to be gigantic to need the large.

Note: If you have any tips/tricks to fold away the extra material at bottom beneath the plates, I’m open to suggestions!.

Product was as advertised, shipping was very reasonable considering the current state of affairs. I wanted a tactical type vest for soft body armor, no one seems to make reasonably priced carriers for that specific purpose.

My body armor fit fairly well, not perfect, that is no fault of this product. I would buy again.

I purchased my Tungsten UL 3P direct from Marmot two years ago. It lasted for only two summers of intermittent use in temperate forested environments in northern US/Southern Canada. Although I left a positive review for this tent on Marmot.

com last summer, I now feel the need to correct my mistake. After only a few weeks of total use time, the seams on the fly are now leaking in multiple spots, causing dripping through the mesh into the tent generally.

The problem is worst at the guy-line attachment points and anywhere the plastic clips touch the fly. So many leaks that I cannot identify all the exact leak locations. Poor-quality seam-taping appears to be the culprit, although I cannot rule out a more basic design issue with the way the fly seams are sewn and taped.

There are no rips, tears, stretches, punctures, or other obvious signs of damage anywhere on the fly or the rest of the tent–and separating seam tape can only be found on the fly. In my updated opinion based on longer-term use, I feel this tent is merely a fashion piece, not a viable tent for thru-hikers or serious canoe trippers or anyone who needs a reliably leak-free shelter.

The last 3P tent I owned (different brand) lasted 22 years, as I am very careful about how I use, clean, store, and maintain my gear. Yes, of course it weighed about 3 lbs more than the Tungsten UL. Bottom line is the Tungsten UL is not a good value by comparison unless weight is EVERYTHING to you.

But what good is a leaky tent even if it weighed nothing? In my experience, a “few extra pounds” beats “miserably wet for days” when in the wilderness, especially on extended trips. Knowing what I know now, I won’t sacrifice weight for quality (for critical gear like a tent) on remote trips ever again.

I bought this tent to replace a Marmot Earlylight 2, which I was very happy with but unfortunately, after 8 years both windows failed on the fly and that meant replacing the entire tent. I wish Marmot sold a replacement fly as the rest of the tent remains in perfect condition.

Pros-I got it for a very good price and it comes with the footprint. While it could fit 2 people, it was the perfect size for me and my gear. There are two doors, each with it’s own vestibule. Easy setup with color matched tabs and poles.

It held up well in heavy wind. Cons-the footprint does not match the tent exactly, as it did on my Earlylight. During heavy rain the first night some rain seeped between the footprint and tent body and came through into the tent.

I made some adjustments, mainly looping the body attachment under the footprint and first inserting the poles into the footprint then body and tightening everything up. However, as the rain stopped for good I am not certain it was solved.

It is a bit heavy for a long backpacking trip but still lighter than most tents at the same price point. I set it up when first received and didn’t notice the footprint fit as an issue at the time. If I had, I would have returned it.
