Every summer, our inbox fills with the same question: what actually matters when you prepare for desert trekking? After another season of testing, the answer keeps coming back to fundamentals — fit, weight and weather protection, in that order.
The short version
Start with the camp stoves category: it is where beginners overspend most. Our current benchmark is the tested model from this line, which balances durability against weight.
What changed this year
Materials moved fast in 2025. Recycled fabrics closed the durability gap, and repairability became a real purchasing criterion. We now weigh warranty terms as heavily as grams — details in our help docs.
