Helinox makes great, lightweight camping chairs but many of their designs are minimalist in nature. Enter the Savannah Chair which offers plenty of comfort thanks to the roomy seat and legs that put it at a proper height so you don’t feel like you’re doing deep squats getting in and out of it. Even better? It’s available in MultiCam for those long deployments.
Floor to the top of the back, it’s 44″ tall and 31″ wide, with the seat 16″ off the ground. There’s beverage holder and a spot for a pillow.
The Savannah will accept up to 320 lbs but weighs just 4 lbs, 3 oz and packs up into a 6″ high and 21″ long bag for storage.

I know some of you guys ride bikes. What some of you may not know is that Oakley got its start in the Motocross world, with eyepro coming later, after some really sick rubber handlebar grips back in the late 70s. By the 80s, these grips had found their way into the BMX world, along with the O-frame goggle.
For the past few years, Oakley has been manufacturing helmets for various sports, and their return to their biking roots is most welcome.
If you’re a bike rider, check out the DRT5. It was engineered, designed, and validated by mountain bikers, including a close collaboration with 3x World Champion Downhill racer Greg Minnaar.
Features:
-EYEWEAR DOCK: Integrated eyewear dock to securely stow your shades and keep them handy for quick and easy access.
-BOA® 360 FIT SYSTEM: With its soft textile feel and flexibility, the TX1 Lace lies flat against your head, allowing for seamless eyewear compatibility.
-X-STATIC® BROW PADDING: X-Static® harnesses the power of silver to create a powerful technology that inhibits the growth of bacteria on fabric, eliminating odor for the life of the product. Also ships with secondary set of pads.
-MIPS® INTEGRATION: The MIPS® Brain Protection System is a helmet integrated, low friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain during an impact.
-CPSC 1203, EN1078 and ANZ2063 Certifications
Offered in sizes Small, Medium and Large, in colors Blackout, Forged Iron and Black/Celeste.

Update: we received this note on the design.
SSD Staff,
Saw that you’ve got a brief write up on the Seg42, thanks for the feature. Wanted to reach out with a bit more info on the design concept.
Some folks on the team had been using packing cubes on their travels and loved the organization benefits, but found them somewhat of a hassle to use in confined spaces(planes, busses, cars etc). We set out to design a pack that provided the same level or organization as packing cubes, but with more direct access to the contents of the bag.
The idea is that the 5 hangdown “Seg” pockets are the main compartments and the big clamshell pocket is overflow storage for large bulky items or dirty clothes. The 5 pockets have a volume that totals 42 liters, and the large clamshell pocket also has a volume that totals 42 liters, so the user can pack as they see fit to fill out the bag.
We also included the internal parallel zip divider to stow away the hangdown seg pockets. This configuration doesn’t allow the user to trade off volume between compartments, but it provides one large compartment and 7 additional externally accessed pockets for organization. It’s a good solution for a user who has mostly large and bulky items to pack.
We designed it as a one-bag-travel pack but the pocket configuration makes it super versatile. I use it for car camping a lot and also as a range bag when I go shooting. If you’ve got any questions about features, materials or design philosophy don’t hesitate to reach out.
