This is one we reached for again and again when space was tight, or we needed to be weight conscious. If you are looking for an all-round reclining camping chair then you won’t find much else that competes with the XGEAR.

The chair is reclinable to 7 positions, so you can sit upright or lie back when you’re soaking up the sunshine (6 positions + upright). Testers appreciated all of the functional storage features, including two cup holders, two side pockets, and an additional small pocket behind the headrest.The luxury of having a comfortable seat while camping or lounging in your backyard can add a lot to the outdoor experience.

That said, Nemo does include detailed and illustrated instructions inside the carrying bag, and I’m now able to get it set up in under 90 seconds.

Whether you're car camping, lounging around the campfire, or sunbathing after a dip in the deep blue, the best model for you will ultimately depend on your lifestyle. Factors we considered when evaluating comfort were armrests, lumbar support, a headrest, back ventilation, and the chair's overall design. With the right camping chair, you can sit in comfort, surrounded by the sights with your drink of choice to hand. As well as following all the industry trends and advancements in the mattress and bedding world, she regularly speaks to certified experts to delve into the science behind a great night's sleep, and offer you advice to help you get there. The downside is that it doesn’t have a cup holder so there’s nowhere for a cool glass of sauvignon after a day’s camping.

For its comfort and durability, as well as its ability to seat a couple of friends, we think this chair is worth considering. With a five year warranty it comes in sensible black, a funky tie dye purple blue and red colour, rainbow bandana and blue paisley so it really will suit any style.The Nemo Stargaze naturally puts you in an upright seated position, and if you want to recline, you need to pop your hands back on those rests before pushing your back backwards, and the chair will adjust with you.
