Best of the Bunch

Getaway compiled a survey covering outdoor, off-road and gadget categories asking which outdoor brands are your favourites.

The 2012 Getaway Reader’s Choice Awards respondents came from far and wide, answering a call through Getaway’s website, newsletters, magazine, Facebook and Twitter. A sample of 1 571 readers completed the survey, which consisted of 40 questions across different outdoor gear categories: hiking and camping gear, 4×4 accessories, trailers and caravans and photographic toys. The results reveal your top five favourite brands expressed as percentages.
