CAMPING | Top 5 Camping, Active & Travel Products Of The Year
As the end of the year approaches and we start to look back over the past 12 months, we’ve been considering our top gear tests from the year and have decided to put together a list of our 5 favourite products that we’ve purchased or received and tested this year.
Over the years, our posts about staying warm when camping have proved to be among the most popular, but as technology evolves, the array of products designed to make spending time in the great outdoors comfortable and cosy, continues to expand.
From heated blankets to trainers, this is our roundup of our top 5 products from 2024.
Top 5 Camping, Active & Travel Products Of 2024

2. Zonli Z Walk Pro Battery Operate Heated Blanket
We’re big fans of remaining warm and cosy when camping, and this heated blanket is a camping must-have. Whether you’re feeling the chill stargazing or need an extra layer on top of your sleeping bag, this versatile blanket can also be worn and is guaranteed to keep even the coldest of campers toasty.

4. Scrubba Portable Washing Bag
It looks like nothing more than a dry bag, but it’s actually a super clever way to wash clothes when travelling and it’s ideal for camping too. The integrated wash board makes this little gadget much more effective at cleaning clothes than hand washing alone, and it’s compact, making it a camping and travel-friendly essential.

5. OLPRO Blanko the super versatile blanket and poncho
It’s warm, versatile and it’s got retro good looks. The Blanko is well deserving of a place in our favourite products of the year list. At home, on the road, camping and glamping, this is such a great blanket, we take it everywhere!
