We think the REI Camp X is the better deal for shorter individuals, and the GCI Comfort Pro has more appeal for taller folks. Though it costs more, it’s an investment that pays off in its serious comfort and exceptional durability. Finally, the Kelty Low Loveseat is worth a mention; despite a higher price point, it provides not one but two seats, upping its value by decreasing the price-per-seat cost. Everything about this chair speaks to luxury, from the intuitive and easy setup to the cross-over style, which enhances stability and sturdiness. The carry bag is thoughtfully designed and features not one but two straps, allowing for options depending on how far you need to carry. Even the zipper on the carry bag is heavy-duty and designed to last.
There’s a cupholder on the right arm and a built-in cooler on the left that can hold a six-pack of drinks (or more, if you dare). There’s even a bottle opener attached to the inside of the cooler to cover all the bases for chillin’ and grillin’ outside. On the back is an elastic slot and Velcro bands to secure an overhead umbrella, and underneath the seat is a strap that collapses the chair for easy transport.
ozark trail camping chairIf you need a comfy chair or use a camping-specific chair regularly and don’t mind a bit of bulk, we highly recommend the King Kong. You’ll also want a padded, adjustable headrest and perhaps armrests and cup holders. A carrying bag is another good feature, so check for that as well. Good design with a small pocket to place your cell phone or snacks near the cup holder. Sturdy arm rests and sits a little higher from the ground, making it a great choice for taller people. These Ozark Trail camp chairs are perfect to take with you to kid’s sports games, camping trips, or to simply have them around so you can lounge in your backyard.
If you’re off on a backpacking adventure, you’ll need a good quality backpacking tent from Decathlon. A good night’s sleep is essential to keep your energy levels up on your backpacking trip. But you also don’t want to carry around a heavy and bulky tent. Our backpacking tents are lightweight and compact, making them ideal for attaching to your backpack as you head off into the wilderness. But despite being super lightweight, these tents are also low-profile and strong enough to cope with the abrasive winds of the hills.
DURABILITY/WEIGHT CAPACITY – If you want a chair that will last for the long haul or you need a chair with a higher weight capacity, we recommend one of the stout options below. Sturdy chairs are often a bit heavier and bulkier, so they aren’t quite as easy to carry. But this tradeoff is well worth it in the way of comfort and value. We recommend chairs at a variety of price points below to make it easy to find a great option that fits your budget. Comfort is our most highly weighted metric, accounting for 40% of the overall score for each camping chair. After all, deciding to buy a chair instead of sitting on a log or the ground means you probably value comfort.
