When set up, the 10cm x 10xm seat gives plenty of room for you to perch on and is perfect for those quick tea breaks. There is a risk of this happening with most of these chairs, so, since then, we usually double-check all the connections before sitting down. While this may help sitters from rocking over backward, the narrower horizontal support makes it very wobbly from side to side. The nice part is that it is not an either/or scenario, as you can tighten or loosen the straps anywhere in between to find the most comfortable sit.

I thought I'd save my review until I'd had this chair over 6 months and had given it some hammer and I can say it's still going strong. The chair has a great design where all the components are wrapped up together in a tough fabric carry sack. However the seat material is quite flimsy and during camping the two top corners gave way, the upright struts had worked through the canvas corners. It’s the least expensive of the chairs that are currently available for purchase, and it is the lightest of the chairs we’ve tested.

The actual fabric seat part (not the frame) is made of an “asymmetrical mesh” that is unlike anything else I’ve experienced with a camp chair. They don't tell you that you have to unhook the front spars to get the bag on; the spars point outwards and the loops on the bag fit the narrowest part. The aforementioned two rear riveted legs make for a slightly different teardown, but it’s essentially the same collapse and stash approach as most other lightweight camping chairs…with one caveat, you can actually set this up incorrectly.

VERSATILE - It is not just for expeditions, it is also ideal for general camping, festivals or picnics in the park or at the beach. These bends do two things: broaden the base at the point of ground contact, which increases stability, and allow for a wider seat. On a few occasions, I’ve got the middle frame tube twisted and after inserting all the tubes, I realized that the two sides of the chair face in opposite directions (i.

And, most of them have experienced a few welterweight friends borrowing them on our many socially distant overnighters over the last year and a half. It's the last corner pocket that causes the problem, I put the opposite leg on the ground and gingerly applied pressure on the last leg to get it into the pocket.

As such, hips have ample room to spread, and arms can move freely, versus feeling pinned next to one’s sides. We humans come in all sizes and shapes, so there’s no single chair that will be the most comfortable for every body. The chair provided excellent back support and you could shift around easily without feeling you were going to wobble over thanks to its sturdy frame construction.

Great as a chair to have in the car as it takes next to no space and comes in very handy in the right circumstances.Ultralight foam “sit” pads provide some protection from cold and wet ground, and we’ve also used a foam sleeping pad to triple as a stretch mat and a place to sit. A light, tough and comfortable chair that packs to a very compact size, ready for hard or soft ground. but also my 2-year-old daughter took a liking to it because she could easily get in and out of it without it tipping over.
