We love spending as much time outdoors as possible, and we’re sure so do other people, considering the popularity of our outdoor content on T3. We tested and reviewed a number of outdoor products last year, from tents and hiking boots to action cameras and drones. Below, you’ll find the ones we liked the most, or in other words, the winners in the outdoor categories at the T3 Awards 2023 in association withROG Ally.
If you’re interested in what fitness products and wearables made the cut this year, check out theT3 Awards 2023 Fitness Winnersroundup article, too. Funnily, we’re announcing the winner of one of the wearable categories here (best smartwatch) just to keep things fresh. Let’s see who won this year!

Best Action Camera: Insta360 X3
Insta360 has firmly installed itself as the king of 360° action cams. Insta360 specialises in small, lightweight two-lensed cameras that film or photographeverythingaround them, allowing the user to reframe later. The Insta360 X3 is the best 360° cam from the brand to date and features a seriously impressive (and responsive) display housed in a slender, watertight body.
It also has a ton of shooting modes, and editing the footage in the Insta360 app is also a breeze, thanks to the AI-powered algorithm. The Insta360 X3 is a nifty little device that lets you shoot one footage and edit it both horizontally or vertically. Read our fullInsta360 X3review to find out why we think this is thebest action camright now.

Best Drone: DJI Mavic 3 Classic
The DJI Mavic 3 is a brilliant drone. It does away with the largely unnecessary tele camera, bringing the price down to a more attractive level. With the 20 MP CMOS sensor onboard, it’s able to match theDJI Mavic 3for image quality, and it delivers superb results that are a noticeable step up from the more compactDJI Mini 3 Pro. It truly is thebest dronefor pilots who need versatility and haven’t got an unlimited budget to buy the best drones.

Plus, thanks to the oversized doors and the closed internal unit, you’ll never feel stuffy inside, and you don’t even have to worry about the mosquitos, either.

Best Waterproof Jacket: Klattermusen Syr Unisex Levitend Hooded Parka
Just how capable and versatile the Klattermusen Syr Unisex Levitend Hooded Parka is might surprise some. It looks too stylish to be taken seriously, but all of its features serve a purpose. It’s long to keep all your body dry, no matter how hard it rains. It’s oversized, so you can throw it over multiple layers of garments without feeling restricted. It has a large, adjustable hood so you can pull it over helmets or large hats (and large heads).
The Syr Unisex Levitend Hooded Parka has a moisture vapour permeability of over 20,000 g/m²/24h and a hydrostatic head of over 20,000 mm, making it an incredibly capable outdoor garment. And all that without sacrificing style. No wonder we think it’s thebest waterproof jacketout there! Read our fullKlattermusen Syr Unisex Levitend Hooded Parka review.

But even in this environment,Applemanaged to create a watch that stands out from the crowd: theApple WatchUltra. It’s not only the largest Apple Watch to date but also one of the most capable ones. It’s big, bold and brilliantly rugged; no wonder all wearable reviewers rave about it. We look forward to seeing future iterations of this watch!
