The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Having a nice place to sit is one of the most pleasant feelings for any outdoor junkie. Whether you’ve been hiking all day, scaling rock faces, paddling though the ocean, flying down trails on your mountain bike, or even just standing patiently with your fly rod all morning at the edge of the river… when you need to take a load off, you gotta be sure to have the proper rig. And we just sat our backside in one of the most comfortable portable camp chairs we’ve ever had the privilege of relaxing in—We’re talking about the Emmet Folding Chair from True Places.

This thing is built so-damn well that we can’t think of a critical word to say here. The brand states that it’s “Perfect for the modern outdoors,” and this statement hits the nail on the head. It features TrueFlex custom outdoor fabric for impeccable comfort, its frame is built from aerospace-grade aluminum, and it features ultra convenient bag hooks on the back that also work great for things like light jackets and hats. And it even boasts a customizable cup holder to move wherever your arm prefers to reach for your beverage, alongside bottle openers underneath each arm rest. Not to mention that it comes equipped with a really nice carry bag that fits ultra-comfy over the shoulder. This impressive folding chair is thoughtfully designed with the mantra of ultimate comfort for outdoorsy folk at the forefront of evrything. It’ll be your new go-to chair, trust us.—Jon Perino, senior editor
