Smalls was contacted about doing a gear review on a backpacking chair and gladly accepted. Typically we do not take chairs when backpacking because we sleep in hammocks that double as chairs. With the truck set-up, we have been car camping a lot more frequently than backpacking so we are using camp chairs much more often now.
First and foremost, this chair weighs 1.99 lbs so it is a little heavier than other backpacking chairs. On the flip side, it is taller than most backpacking chairs as well with the seat at 13.6 in and the back 26.3 in from the ground which is higher than most. When in its bag, it is 14.2 in long, 4.7 in tall, and 4.1 in wide which is not much larger than most other chairs.
The chair has a fixed foot design and made out of 7075 aviation aluminum and 900d Oxford cloth. It does have mesh breathable fabric. The foot has an anti-slip plastic cover to prevent it from tipping over. The chair holds up to 230 lbs.
Finally, this chair is currently $25 on Amazon. It is a great price for the quality as it is about a quarter of the cost of comparable backpacking chairs. The chair is so comfortable, we have been using this chair an extra in our living room at home when we are not on the road. We highly recommend this chair. It is comfortable, sturdy, compact, and great price.
