Camping Equipment

We compared temperature ratings, fill types, weight, and price across the best backpacking and camping sleeping bags on the market to find the best one for every kind of camper.

Whether you’re an ultralight backpacker looking to boil water at lightspeed or a culinary wizard making risotto by the light of a headlamp, the best JetBoil stoves can truly do it all.

What can we say? We love sleeping in the dirt. Here’s how our eclectic group of campers and adventurers tests every sleeping pad we review firsthand.

We tested all the best camping mattresses of the year firsthand to see which one delivers the best night’s rest wherever your adventures take you.

We tested the top backpacking pads of the year to see which ones hold up to real backcountry abuse while still delivering serious Zzz’s boot.

We took the Therm-A-Rest Neoair Xtherm NXT on a little 2,650-mile hike to see if it’s truly the best sleeping pad money can buy for backpacking.

The Therm-A-Rest Z-Lite Sol is arguably the most iconic sleeping pad in the world, but is this closed-cell foam classic actually comfortable to spend the night on?

An innovative take on a timeless classic: This is our take on the Nemo Switchback, an old-school foam backpacking pad with a host of new-school updates for the modern world!

Ultralight meets ultra-thick: We took the Sea To Summit Ether Light XT Insulated out into the backcountry to see just how comfortable a four-inch thick pad can be!

Ultralight air pads often fall short when it comes to a comfortable night’s sleep. The Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated may be our new favorite solution!
