Xbox has released a collection of camping clothes and accessories. No, it’s not a video game of that nature Sports Organization 100 Thieves wipe with Your own clothing line Actually Microsoft Go outside and touch the grass. The camper collection includes shorts, t-shirts and hats as well as a hammock and Camping chair.
Since most people don’t usually associate outdoor sports with outdoor sports, some items in the lineup actually look good. The Xbox Camping Chair looks like a reproduction of the design it is famous for Helinox Zero-Stuhl (To be fair, too net a lot A Anders Lager the chair), but electric green and twice as heavy. Since it’s so much cheaper than the Helinox, it’s hard to complain about the weight.
