My quest for a comfy camp chair. (1 Viewer)

[Salue]

Last spring I was at REI spending my dividend and they had one of these set up. So, or course, I sat down. Oh my. I wanted one right there until I looked at the $150 price tag. [cough] [choke]. Maybe when I get my dividend this year.

Or not. They had them on sale. $118 to my door. Still gasping for air, but damn, it's a nice chair. My only concern? It's a "beach chair" and it sits real low to the ground. I mean real low, and if you have crappy knees or hips like I do it could be a problem getting out of it. This concern was even in the reviews. But, it's comfy, and it's tall enough for my head in case the lapping waves, and sea gull calls, put me to sleep. Now I need a Baja trip to see how fast I can saw some zzzzz's. Another bonus? It packs up to nothing.

Helinox Beach Chair - compact, light and super comfortable!

I have a couple of the Helinox Chair Zero, a Helinox Camp Chair and just ordered the Helinox Sunset Chair. The Sunset chair is the one that sits higher I believe, and has a higher back where you can rest your head and even use the case as a pillow:

It was just on sale over Labor Day, which is why I purchased it, $118. With a family of five, I had to get rid of the bulkier chairs and these are all so comfy.

Cheers,
Salue

If you don't need the higher back, check out Costco's site. They have the Timber Ridge 2 pack on sale for $30. It was too good of a deal to pass up so that was my excuse to buy them for my kids.

here are similar chairs on amazon for a fraction of the price.
they pretty much should all be coming from similar if not the same factories in china

I should have mentioned these are the helinox style chairs and this is a high back one

Took advantage of the REI off on te Helinox sunset chair. I already have the two Helinox camp chairs which end up being my kids so have to get one for myself. They sure are not cheap but they had been wanting to switch to lighter chairs (so i can bring the heavy cast irons!! lol)

Amazon.com : ALPS Mountaineering Leisure Chair-Rust : Camping Chairs : Sports & Outdoors I got these and they have been great. View attachment 1473236

Have been shopping for new camp chairs for quite a while and finally settled on this, based on yours and @Stumpalama 's recommendations in this thread. Got here yesterday via Amazon. Seems to be very, very sturdy, and is very comfortable.

Just be sure to lube the legs with some silicone spray on occasion.

I wound up going for one of these after breaking several others. It’s comfortable and most of the joints are double shear; it’s lasted the longest by far.
