Hardcore mountain bikers often pay far more for a single component upgrade than this whole bike costs. Its lines, components and geometry all look like a modern mountain bike. As long as descending speeds and terrain are kept reasonable, its overall performance is as good as it looks, too. The Ozark Trail Camp Chair follows a similar model to most other standard camping chairs and is similar in size and standard features. The construction of the Comfort Chair is very solid and robust and this is reflected in the weight of the chair. Simply put, it can be notoriously difficult to find big and robust furniture to support you properly. That’s as true for camp chairs as it is for recliners and the like. It tends to rebound uncontrollably from bigger hits, and it tops out with a clunk when you leave the ground on jumps. Descending performance does not quite match its climbing prowess, but it’s still pretty good. Since the bike doesn’t have a dropper, we had to go old-school with our technique by stopping at the top of each descent, loosening the quick release and dropping the saddle. Everything feels natural and normal until you reach a certain speed, then the bike’s limitations make themselves known. Save $77 on Qomotop’s four-person tent, which only takes 10 seconds to set up.

The cupholders on the L.L.Bean Kids’ Base Camp Chair aren’t as roomy as those on our picks, and they’re not as adept at holding stubby water bottles or mugs of hot chocolate. Compared with cheaper chairs of its kind (like those from Walmart), the REI Co-op chair functions better and will last much longer. This was especially reassuring for testers with knee or hip issues, who noted that they felt confident using the Dual Lock seat’s armrests to stand up and get out of it. The good news is that there are options available, and the Ozark Trail XXL Director Chair is a great option. We’ll be quick to point out that it’s not perfect, but it definitely belongs on your shortlist of options to consider. Wirecutter is the product recommendation service from The New York Times.
