Comfortable Outdoor Seating
This compact trail chair is perfect for camping, hiking, or backpacking. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, yet sturdy enough to provide comfortable seating. The chair is well-made, with a design that supports extended periods of sitting. It’s a great addition to any outdoor adventure gear.

Portable trail chair
This is the smallest folding chair I’ve ever seen. It comes in its own bag, which is a little longer than a banana. Inside is the frame and the cover for the chair. The frame is folded up into pieces, kind of like tent pieces where they’re attached but floppy and you insert them into each other. Once the frame is together. You stretch the cover over it and you have a chair! It’s easy and I think anyone could do it in under 3 minutes. The chair is comfy and wide, and can hold up to 200+ pounds. I would love to buy another one for summer because it’s really good for high school sports or parades you have to trek from your vehicle to a sitting area. Even a young kid could carry this on their shoulder. Great quality item and cool

Small, but still useful
I don’t do any back country camping or “ounces become pounds” camping, but this will fit in a car easy, and is much smaller than a full size camping chair if you have to hike a ways from your car to whatever you are going to. Not having a back to lean against is quite the downside, but beats sitting in the mud.

Comfort portable chair.
Very light and comfortable. It’s not light as Helinox Chair Zero, but light enough to carry as a backpacking chair. For some reason, it’s at 2.5lbs, but feels little bit heavier.I weight 179 lbs and 6’1″. No problem getting in/out chair and chair has not issue supporting my weight.Also easy in/out.Feels stable and no side tilting.It has pull tab on 4 corners for easy setup – more expansive one does not have this tab.Sewing is good and I do not see any tear.Good camping chair.

Nice lil chair
Great camping chair. Compact and light weight. Hold my 250lbs with no problem at all. Set up takes less than 1 minute as does breakdown. Straps to the tide of a pack easily or toss it in your trunk. Great little chair even being g low to the ground.

Great chair
Great chair and sturdy fabric. It’s pretty cool that the frame comes in one piece. It was NOT easy to get the fabric onto the frame. Very tight fit. I find it pretty comfortable but not the most comfortable camping chair I own. It does feel sturdy when you’re sitting in it though. It packs up small and light so good for backpacking.Very solid chair that feels like it will be more durable than many chairs I’ve tried.

Very sturdy camp chair
I have tried several of these smaller fold open chairs and this one registers a step above most. The chairs support poles are metal, not plastic, and they connect into some very solid connector sections. As with others the seat slips onto the pole ends with reinforced pole sleeve pockets, however, this chair has an especially thick, durable chair material. It a thick canvas material and should stand up well over time. It’s quite packable with a fairly compact size once folded down. Impressive…

Great Value For a Reasonable Price
We’ve had an alpine mountain chair we used for a while for hiking and camping and I wanted to get another one for my wife because she loves the old one so much. It’s comfy, easy to set up, and to pack it back up, which is important because a lot of the chairs come in impossibly small cases that you can never put the chair back in, so it’s a huge plus when you have a wide and roomy enough case you can easily store the chair without tearing it apart. The legs are very sturdy and the fabric, though simple is very tough and durable. Overall, happy with this chair. Great value for a reasonable price.

Love it!
Super compact camping chair that’s easy to fold and carry around. I now have two of these and fit them both into a camping/fishing backpack. Like, super ideal. The quality of the material feels great and I’m a heavier person and I don’t at all feel like I’m going to break it the chair or rip the material.It’s also breathable and pivots when you sit in it, so doesn’t feel rigid and uncomfortable. Lacks some of the niceities of larger chairs, sure, but when you’re backpacking or camping, the larger chairs definitely show their weakness in this category.
