MORE FESTY FANCIES

FJALLRAVEN SINGI STUBBEN

The ‘genius’ moniker gets bandied about all too frequently, but whoever invented this deserves a medal. Made using tough but eco-friendly G-1000 cotton canvas with a fully waterproof base, it features a built-in metal frame that doubles as a fully supportive (and padded) stool. £240 / fjallraven.com

HELINOX INCLINE FESTIVAL CHAIR

Maybe we’re getting old – but traipsing around a field for days on end is exhausting, and the chances of the ground being dry are often slim. The solution is the Incline Festival Chair, which weighs just 1.1kg and packs down to nothing, so when it isn’t needed it can be buried in your bag. £125 / helinox.eu

THERM-A-REST HONCHO PONCHO

Your sleeping bag, cosy blanket, cushion and coat rolled into one, this multi-role poncho is stuffed with hollow-fibre eraloft insulation and has a water-resistant coating. It easily packs down into its kangaroo pocket and takes up no more room than a jumper. £120 / thermarest.com

MARSHALL WILLEN

Some would argue that Bluetooth speakers are as welcome on a festival campsite as a couple of horny newlyweds; but if you must insist on sharing your own playlist, do it in style with Marshall’s latest and smallest offering. It’s rated IP67, with a 15hr battery. £90 / marshall headphones.com

LOOP EXPERIENCE PRO

The average noise volume at a festival is at least 100db… but you risk hearing damage if you’re exposed to 80db for longer than 8hrs, and with each extra 3db the safe listening time is halved. Grim, eh? So these earplugs reduce noise by 18 to 20db evenly across the frequencies. £31 / loopearplugs.com

YETI RAMBLER HALF-GALLON

Almost 2L is big for a double-walled metal water bottle – if you can slurp that much you’ll be as hydrated as a cloud. Good for keeping all kinds of beverages cold all evening and coffee hot all morning, this Yeti has an extra-thick lid that’s magnetic, so it’ll stick in place and never get lost. £100 / uk.yeti.com
