The Fiam Dondolina Steel Frame is a sturdy and comfortable beach or desk chair. While it can creak a bit, it moves with you as you recline and it’s easily portable and stackable.

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.

The Brunner Bula Beach Chair Pros is wide, cosy and robust, and while it’s not adjustable and has no armrests, overall, it’s a very comfortable and easily transportable beach chair.

We enjoyed relaxing in the RIO BEACH Folding Beach Chair. 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.

If you’re after a good looking, sturdy and transportable beach chair, the SUNNYLiFE Deluxe Beach Chair might be for you. While the wood may eventually start to rot in the elements, it’s a very comfortable chair to sit and recline in, albeit a little expensive.

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.

The Ostrich Deluxe 3-in-1 Beach Chair is a sturdy, comfortable and reclining beach chair that’s perfect for lounging in the sun, but it’s heavy.

The Kijaro Beach Sling Chair is comfortable and has good pockets, and is a great priced chair for what you get, however, the seat is quite low and the mesh is less durable than other materials.

The Oru Lake is extremely lightweight, portable and easy to set up and pack down. It’s also the most accessibly-priced of all Oru’s kayaks. However, we found it lacked straight-line tracking and stability, and was uncomfortable to sit in for any period of time.

The Aquaglide Blackfoot 130 DS Angler is perfectly designed for all-day fishing. It has a huge amount of well-considered features, great stability and high weight capacity, but comes with a price tag.

The first thing we noticed about this kayak in the water is that it is bulky. It takes a bit of wrestling to get it moving in a straight line. It's probably more durable than other budget models but it's also hard to handle.

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.

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.

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.

The Advanced Elements Straitedge is a quite stable, spacious and strong kayak, but it’s quite uncomfortable, doesn't track well, is slow and can be annoying to inflate due to its many inflation points. Overall, it’s ok for fishing or white water, but it can be awkward to paddle long distances in.

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.

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.

The NEMO Moonlite Reclining Camp Chair is comfortable, breathable and versatile, but it comes with downsides, such as its bulk and price. Overall, it’s a durable and comfortable reclining chair.

The GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair is quite interesting in that it rocks! Literally! It’s also quite sturdy, which, unfortunately, adds to the weight. It’s also not the most compact. It’s a unique swinging camping chair.
