Comparison Ranger RA-4420 vs Time Eco P22

- Armchair. This category includes seating devices equipped with a backrest and armrests. In some models, the armrests can be solid, in others their role is played by the shape of the frame, and still others are often made in the form of a cocoon, enveloping the body of the crouched person.

— Double chair. A type of chair (see above) designed to accommodate two people. This presents them as a suitable solution for couples and friends wishing to enjoy a shared holiday.

- Chair. Variants of the chairs described above with missing armrests. Not so comfortable, since they can have a vertical back without tilting.

- Table. Classic tables are flat surfaces with legs, designed to provide convenience when preparing and eating food, preparing or repairing equipment, etc. Due to their folding design, tourist tables are not as durable as regular home tables and are not designed to withstand significant loads - however, they are reliable enough to cope with most of the tasks assigned to such furniture when traveling outdoors. Most of these products have a working height of about 70 cm, which provides easy access to the tabletop from both a standing and a sitting position.

— Stool. The simplest piece of furniture designed for sitting is a small platform on a stand (legs). In...tourist stools, the seating surface is often made of soft material, and acquires the necessary rigidity due to tension when unfolding; however, there are exceptions, with hard seats. In any case, this type of furniture differs from the chairs described above in the absence of a backrest. This, on the one hand, makes sitting on a stool less comfortable, on the other hand, it has a positive effect on the weight, dimensions, simplicity and cost of the design, and also provides some additional capabilities. For example, a stool can be used as a stand for a large object (a log, a box of equipment, etc.), whereas in the case of a chair the backrest would interfere with this.

- Fishing chair. Specialized chairs designed, as the name suggests, primarily for fishermen. Fishing products differ from “ordinary” chairs (see above) in their more advanced design, designed to provide the fisherman with maximum comfort. This design typically includes thick, soft seat and back materials, often with adjustable backrest and legs; There may also be shelves-stands, mounts for fishing rods, etc. Thanks to all this, fishing chairs are extremely comfortable and are perfect for those who sit “over fishing rods” for hours, however, such models are very expensive.

— Chaise longue. This type includes structures that provide exclusively for the lying or semi-lying position of the person in them. This differs from chairs with footrests (see above), which may look similar to chaise lounges, but have a relatively slight backrest angle. In addition, sun loungers are intended mainly for passive relaxation - for example, sunbathing or taking a short nap; and some of them can even be transformed into full-fledged beds.

- Kangaroo chair. In design, kangaroo chairs can be similar to both chairs themselves and stools (see above) - in other words, they can be either with or without a backrest. A distinctive feature of such furniture is the presence of a bag (pocket), which, when unfolded, is located in the lower part - under the seat or on the side of the chair legs. This bag allows you to keep various useful items at hand, which can be useful, for example, on a short fishing trip, for which you do not need a specialized chair.

- Folding bed. Classic folding beds designed for sleeping and relaxing in a lying position, usually for one person. In some models, the sleeping surface is flat, as in regular beds; in others, part of the structure on the side of the head can be raised - for example, if the pillow is too low, or when using a folding bed as an impromptu chaise lounge. In any case, folding beds are useful not only on camping trips, but also for organizing additional sleeping places in ordinary living quarters.

- Bench. Tourist benches, like regular ones, have an elongated shape, which allows several people to sit on such furniture at the same time.

- Kitchen table. Tables intended for food preparation. As a rule, in addition to the main tabletop, such products have many additional surfaces - shelves, cabinets, etc. In addition, many kitchen tables are equipped with wind screens and/or special stands that allow you to conveniently use camp gas stoves.

— Transformable table. Folding tables that combine a tabletop and seating in one package (usually stools for four people). They are made in the form of a single non-separable structure connected by movable fasteners. When folded, such tourist furniture takes up minimal space, making transformable tables easy to transport when traveling outdoors.

- Kit. As the name suggests, in this case we are talking about sets that include several pieces of furniture. The most popular option for such a set is a table in combination with several stools(also, as an option, a table with chairs or a table with benches). However, other sets may also be provided, so in any case it would not hurt to check the package separately. Such solutions are very convenient because they allow you to buy all the necessary tourist furniture “in one fell swoop” - it’s easier than purchasing a table, stools, benches, etc. separately. The disadvantage is that the list of items and their characteristics do not always correspond to the buyer’s needs, and the sets are supplied “as is” and do not imply the possibility of changing the configuration to order.

The pocket can be useful in cases where the user constantly needs to keep certain small items at hand. In this sense, its role is similar to that of a shelf-stand (see above). The difference is that the contents of the pocket are hidden from view and can be more difficult to reach, but they are much better protected from dust, precipitation, etc. In addition, if an object can be accidentally brushed off a shelf, then with a pocket the probability of such an incident is almost zero.

This feature greatly facilitates the transportation of furniture: even holding a belt in your hands is often more convenient than the piece of furniture itself, and in some models the belts allow you to hang the load on your shoulder or behind your back, freeing your hands. The belt can be located both on the product itself and on the complete case.

The total weight of a piece of furniture. This parameter has a dual meaning. On the one hand, a lot of weight creates inconvenience in carrying, and such products are poorly suited for transportation over long distances. On the other hand, more massive structures are more stable, and when using the same materials, usually, they are also more durable than light ones.

Weight, usually, is indicated without taking into account the cover (see above) — this is quite justified, given that the covers are usually made of soft and light materials and their effect on the weight of the furniture itself is almost imperceptible.
