Space is always an issue when you’re camping – even when you drive to site, there’s only so much you can squeeze in the back of the car or van once all the people have piled in – so multifunctional products that tick more than one box on the must-have list are always a welcome addition to the outdoor kit cupboard.
With all this in mind I have been trail testing the new Pure Woodland Glow in various outdoor scenarios to see how it performs.

The Woodland Glow is also pretty tough. While you can’t fully submerge it (and why would you?), the IPX6 rating means it’s considered fully waterproof, not just splashproof, so it can be used in bad weather and rain.
Pure Woodland Glow review: light

Evenings can be quite long when you’re camping, and when you’re in atentor sat around acamping tabletalking, eating or playing games, it’s crucially important to have a good light source, other thanheadlamps(which are brilliant in lots of scenarios, but not when you’re sitting opposite one another) andhand-held torches(again, brilliant when you want shine a beam in one direction, but not for ambient light).
It isn’t the brightest light, it has to be said – I wouldn’t attempt surgery using it – but it’s more than sufficient for the vast majority of tent activities.

After light, a lot of people will prioritise some sort of audio entertainment as an essential accompaniment to the evening in and around the tent. As well as offering 360° illumination, the Woodland Glow serves up surround sound.
Connection is via Bluetooth 5.3 technology, which facilitates a secure connection and means the battery lasts longer. Even I (a long-toothed Luddite) found this unit incredibly easy to link to and use, and if you do have any connectivity issues, there is an AUX output too.
The sound quality is decent, and two large buttons on the top enable you to skip forwards or backwards in your playlist. And, if you have a second speaker, you can get a stereo sound system going.

For a slightly cheaper light-and-sound system, the rechargeableColeman 360is a good choice – it’s actually a bit brighter in the illumination department, but the sound quality is not as good, so it depends where your priorities lie.
If you are simply looking for a great, easily portable waterproof speaker, and you’re not bothered about the light element, check out the pocket-rocketJBL Flip 6or theHuawei Sound Joy, which has a mega battery life.
