Everyone Fights Over This Chair If That Tells You Anything.. (Beware of Low Weight Limit)
Our family has started a tradition every summer of attending various camping activities, including a music festival. It has become quite an undertaking with friends as well as family in attendance, picking up and extra person every year it seems. Having enough chairs is always a concern. Lets see how this one measures up.
WHAT IS THIS CHAIR LIKE?
This chair folds into a small piece which fits into a bag. When open there are some really great features. I am going to outline all of the features one by one in its own section.
PADDING AND COMFORT
First of all the padding is minimal, however, the angle of the seat was comfortable for three of us- THAT ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS. We all have different chair needs, and rarely do any of us agree on any one chair.
WEIGHT LIMIT
225 lbs it says on the label.
SIZE
This is an XL chair and it is perfect to sit comfortably in. It is big enough for our teen to sit cross legged in (a deal breaker on every chair or couch EVER for that teen)
SIDE POUCH
There is a side pouch with netting on it for a book, or other pamphlet, even lotion to keep on the chair.
DRINK HOLDER
This is a round holder which fits cans of carbonated juice (their drink of choice) such as Izze and even a larger bottle such as they sell at Chipolte restaurants of Izze
COLD PACK
This is the coolest thing- it has double zippers which are connected by a pull cord. you pull on it with your finger/thumb and both zippers open, allowing you access to the insulated pack which is part of the chair! When you are done, you close it and secure it with a velcro type closure.
STABILITY
So far this is really stable and easy to set up as long as the ground is not too uneven.
WEIGHT
This is heavy, but not as heavy as some chairs I have used. It is easy to carry to a picnic or camp site, but not appropriate for hiking long distances.
CLEANING
My big concern was if something got spilled in the insulated pack it would be hard to clean. However, a wet cloth used to wipe it out good and left out to dry, it seems fine.
THE BOTTOM LINE
With plenty of room to sit comfortably (yes, even if you insist on crossing your legs and are not too tall or over 225 lbs) this chair has some great features that are easy to use. A medium weight chair that is easy to pack, we all are fighting over sitting in it today. Considering that almost never happens, I would say that is a good indication that this chair is a winner here! The one member of the family that is too heavy for it is kind of cranky about not being able to use it, but he has his own chair.
MY RATING
This rating is FIVE STARS. Although the weight limit is rather low for the size chair it is, I still really like it. It is comfortable, has very convenient features, and is stable too.
