Each chair has a cupholder to hold your drink and easily folds up into a storage bag to take along on any adventure. We also love that the new chair is simpler to break down and more convenient to fit into the bag. The bag itself is also made of mesh so that the material can breathe if the chair is damp when put away. Make sure you also kit yourself out with an air bed pump so you can quickly inflate your air bed with little fuss. Choose from a foot pump, hand pump or an electric pump which will do all the hard work for you.
ozark trail hammock chairAll this comfort and added reinforcement do come at a cost. With extra features come several extra pounds, making the King Kong one of the heaviest single-person models we tested. It also lacks a headrest, so it’s not the ideal chair for an afternoon snooze. On the other hand, we think this model will stand up to all of your needs for camping, tailgating, fishing, or anything else.
ozark trail hammock chairThey also appreciated its cupholder (rare in chairs of this sort) and its quick close-up-and-carry design. Rocking chairs are relaxing and provide therapeutic benefits for elderly people and others who enjoy rest and relaxation. Old-fashioned versions can be comfortable, but they cannot be folded up and taken on camping trips or to sporting events. Comes with the same compact bag with a shoulder strap for carrying. The luxury of having a comfortable seat while camping or lounging in your backyard can add a lot to the outdoor experience.
But after half a dozen excursions, we found—as we had with the Renetto Original Canopy Chair—that having a chair you can easily carry without a bag is preferable. In real-world conditions, you’re often packing up fast to try to get ahead of crowds or traffic. So you can easily misplace a carry sack on a dark night in a crowded field, especially if you’re in a large group or have a lot of stuff. At a fireworks show and at the beach, we appreciated a chair that was ready to go without even 30 seconds of hassle. The Everywhere Chair closes like a book—simply lift the padded strap and go. Walk around any campground or tailgate party, and you’ll notice the popularity of this variety of accordion-style seat.
ozark trail camping chairOur panel of testers at the Wheeler Gorge Campground deemed the Everywhere Chair to be the most comfortable of the three low-to-the-ground chairs we tested. A close-to-the-ground chair is often the ideal choice for outdoor concerts, movies, theater performances, and other events where you will be concerned about blocking other people’s view. When we set up a dozen chairs around the campfire without comment, people consistently claimed them from largest to smallest.
The top-notch comfort, high-quality build, and exceptional portability make it well worth the price and we expect it to remain one of our go-to chairs for a very long time. The Helinox Beach and Sunset, ENO Lounger, REI Flexlite Camp Dreamer, and Nemo Stargaze all have a separate frame and fabric seat that had to be assembled. Most of them aren’t difficult, but it’s more involved than setting up any of the traditional chairs.
