Chairs, lets sit down and talk about this.

[Things]

I do try to watch the weight ( in my rig...) ButI like to be comfortable and watch the stars so I bring a Zero Gravity chair with me.

It"s got some weight and mass but I did build my rack and kit to fit it. It lasts about a year then falls apart. Due for a new one now.

Whats everyone using for a chair-recliner -stargazer -napper etc........

Thanks Jeff

I have this chair. It's very comfortable and quick to setup.

That looks cool. Costco also, nice one.

It has straps that allow adjustment to sit or lay back. My wife asked if she could use it some times, naturally I said 'heck no!' so she got her own.

Helinox Savanna for myself and the Playa for my wife... the price tag hurt but very happy with them. I wanted something light and compact as well and once I got the chance to try one out on an overnighter last spring, I pulled the trigger as soon as I saw them on clearance since I had an REI 20% off clearance coupon for each.

Man! Have I gone through some chairs. It seems every year someone comes out with something that catches my attention and of course I buy it…
Sooo here are my two favorite chairs..

Strongback chair - By far the most comfortable chair I have ever tried. The drawback is that it that it doesn’t fold up into a compact package…

Frontrunner chair - now this chair folds up to almost nothing and is easily packed into my Jeep. We first saw it on an Epic Family Roadtrip video. While it is fairly comfortable it doesn’t compare to the Strongback.

Expander Camping Chair - by Front Runner

The Front Runner Expander Chair's telescopic design allows this comfortable chair to fold into an extremely compact unit which is easy to store and transport.

I have a knockoff Helinox that I bought from Costco. It's a decent chair. Comfortable but low to the ground. I bought it because I could carry it on my motorcycle while traveling. A lot of my equipment was purchased with the requirement of being carried on my 2008 Street Glide. I've camped off that bike a bunch of times. The only thing that wasn't 'small' was the sleeping bag. But on a motorcycle, storage is at a premium.

I take two chairs that I use. One sits at normal height and has a fold up side table. This one also has a built in soft cooler, pack straps and is rated for 500lbs. I’m only 200lbs, but it feels very sturdy and will hopefully last many trips. It stays at camp. I use it to socialize, eat a meal or

my other is a low sitting, creek-side folding char. It also has a shoulder strap and a small gear pocket that will hold a few small items while trucking towards a fishin hole.

We have a slightly different approach for a couple of reasons (at least); Space/packing and relaxation.

When it comes to space and packing I don't want to have to stack items on top of other items or have to shuffle things around to get to other things. I do have a zero gravity chair, I take it to the drive in. We also have the typical folding chairs. The ones that fold flat-ish and the ones that fold up and round.

After various trips I focused on space efficiency without losing functionality. I wanted to keep as much gear as possible in my storage drawers and try to only have to load bedding, food, clothes, and a couple pieces of kit depending on where we were going and how long.

Getting to the point, I have 3 CLIQ chairs in my drawers as well as 2 hammocks. Always having chairs in my truck and not in the way has been quite nice even when just out and about. If we want to relax in the shade or under the stars then we can have the hammocks up in a couple of minutes as long as there are suitable trees.

Hard to beat a hammock. Unless you have no place to hang it.

Bought this this summer, love it. The only thing I was missing camping was a comfortable reading chair.
ps, I threw out the headrest thing.
440# capacity.

I wish someone will invent a chair that packs small but still offers the comfort and size of the chairs that I currently have -

Did not happen yet... I would pay good money to have that...

I find the ARB OME Director's Chair the most useful of the chairs I have. It is the first director's style chair I have had.

I have GCI Directors chair and they are great

Every year I end up buying those basic collapsable canvas chairs you see at the local sporting good store or wal-mart, but I always manage to break them after the first summer of camping. I wanted to get a high quality chair that was still simple, easy to pack, and didn't have a bunch of accesories on it. I ended up with this chair

REI Co-op Flexlite Camp Boss Chair | REI Co-op

20% larger than the Flexlite that started it all, the REI Co-op Flexlite Camp Boss has a wider seat and heftier frame that might anoint you head of camp. Just remember to delegate.

So far it's been solid, comfy, and easy to lug around. The corner where the metal posts meet the fabric is very sturdy, which is where I usually end up breaking them. We'll see how it goes. I still have at least 5 trips lined up for the year.
