My Scenario: 3-Day Canoe float and camping trip in the mountains. Canoe limits weight, space and storage available for camping gear. A cheap folding camp chairs from Wal-mart wasn't going to cut it.My Requirements: (Top Priorities to Mindful Considerations)1. Comfort; Majority of time was sitting around a campfire. Needed to be comfortable for a long sit.2. Heavy-Duty Construction; I'm 6'3, 270 lbs. I wanted a heavy-duty chair that wouldn't buckle under continual sitting, slouching and standing stress. Needed more than a 225 lbs capacity. I required metal legs instead of cheap fiberglass poles held together my a single screw. All poles are tethered together with heavy bungee cords for easy setup. No lost poles or missing pieces.3. Sitting Height; I have long legs. I wanted a chair that didn't make me feel like i had to fully squat up and down to sit and stand. Short height seemed to be the common denominator amongst backpacking chair reviews.4. Compact; I wanted a chair that would collapse down to fit inside a dry-bag, that would fit inside my canoe. Standard camping chairs are too bulky for this and backpacking chairs seemed too weak.5. Weight; This was not a backpacking hike excursion, so I opted for comfort over weight. Reviews stated that it rates one of the heaviest "backpacking" chairs in its category. A taller frame and metal poles wouldn't be ideal for hiking for miles, but I was just needing something small enough for a canoe bag and heavy enough to support my big butt.6. Setup; I wasn't so much concerned with the time it takes to setup a camping chair. A little bit more setup time than a standard pop and sit chair, but nothing terrible. 2-3 extra minutes to get it all fitted together. Nothing that would delay you from anything.Review:Marvelous chair! Debated whether it was worth spending $150 on a chair. Sooooo worth it. I've bought the economy stuff before and paid the price. Buy nice or buy twice! Exceeded all my requirements.- Super comfortable for a big man. Design works like a sling for your butt. High backrest relieves stress on the lower back. Just tall enough to rest your head back without it dangling off the back.- Construction was beyond solid. Aluminum material and non-crossed leg design made it super sturdy. No breakable fiberglass. Even on uneven ground, the design succeeded wonderfully. Rubber foot stoppers kept the chair legs from constantly sinking into the ground when I was seated. Each time I sat in the thing, I liked the feeling of being up off the ground. Extra back support was veeeery nice. The support holes seemed beefier then other chairs. I was worried the stitching wouldn't hold up after continual sitting and standing, but it held up like a champ.- Collapsed small enough to fit inside my canoe dry-bag, but was large enough that I could sit in comfort around a campfire. Probably not the ideal choice for hard backpacking cause of its weight, but it was light enough to use if I had too. Comfort over weight was my personal choice trade-off.- Setup was really easily and intuitive. Everything is held together with strong bungee shock cords, so there's no chance of using a wrong pole someplace. All poles snapped into place very easily. Maaaybe took a few more minutes to setup than your average camping chair, but totally worth it for how small it breaks down.
