Beyond Expectations

I do a lot of self support packraft/kayaking trips and I always bring a chair. It's a luxury for sure, but with one this light and compact it's easy to find space for it.

Out The Box, Good So Far

Just got the chair, took a little to figure out setup and then it 'clicked'. Comfy to sit in and is easy to adjust. Can't wait to load this up on the bike and go camping.

Delightful And Innovative

I never thought I'd be so surprised and impressed by a camp chair. Over the last many years camp chair designs have funneled into a few archetypes and this chair first seemed like just another ultra-light chair among many. But every time I used it I liked it more. The matt/stowaway bag is what really sets it apart for me. The matt holds the chair legs and keeps them from splaying, making for a more durable/stronger chair (a common weakness among ultra-light chairs). It also prevents the chair legs from sinking into sand or loose soil (perfect for a 7-day beach backpacking trip I took this summer). I love being able to recline the chair with the suspension system. Chair goes up, chair goes down, all night around the campfire. Overall, I think this chair is unilaterally superior to all other ultra-light chairs and most regular and car camping chairs.

First Thoughts

Out of the box, stupid easy set up. Pretty freaking light and surprisingly comfortable for my 6’1” 210lb butt. I bought this chair to replace my glassing pad and get off the freezing ground during the late season hunts. It showed up after the season ended but my thoughts are: -assembly and disassembly is quite loud. Not ideal for glassing sessions in the back country, but maybe practice makes perfect. -$50 more and 100g heavier then another competitors lite chair, which I accept as the carrier acts as a solid footprint and likely the cause for the added weight. I will definitely follow up with a review after a season of use if I can make it quiet!

This Chair Is Near Perfect

It’s light, easy to take anywhere. Though i wouldn’t take it backpacking cause, i can’t spare the extra pound. It does not really need the extra wrap or the wraps double use as holding the legs secure. Take it to every pickleball court i go to and sit comfortably throughout the day. By the way, this is comfortable! Really comfortable and not hard to get in or out of. Love it. Now just make it 8 oz. And i will take it backpacking!
